I’ve talked about numbers stations before. That’s the closest thing I can think of. There was a British one that was meant to be transmitted from an RAF base in Cyprus (The Lincolnshire Poacher)

The face on her btw 😂

The guests at her wedding weren’t buying it

I actually knew that. Well technically it’s a little place near Milton Keynes. The pub they go into just prior to that is in the same market town (or the pub exterior is at least). There was a site where some fella had tracked down loads of the locations used. Most of the ones in the lakes are actually in the lakes. Monty’s cottage is Sleddale Hall. I think they keep trying to restore it as a holiday home but it’s on the middle of nowhere even by Lake District standards. The scenes downstairs were actually filmed there. I’m afraid the Mother Black Cap is no more though.

Shit jukebox though

Fuck off 👍🏻

Yep. Spot on by you and Hope there. He shouldn’t have done it but there’s a world of difference between brushing someone off like that and throwing your elbow in a way that could break someone’s nose or cheek. The way Robertson’s trying to make out it’s the latter is pretty disgraceful. I’m not sure how he’s escaping punishment either.

Not the Penrith Tearooms?

That’s a bit unfair. I think it might be bungee rope

Great stuff, mate. Glad you enjoyed it. And the fells aren’t going anywhere, so there’s always next time

One of the very rare occasions when that Arsenal fan tv bollocks would be worth a watch

Because that would show a less accurate probability 👍🏻

Some of the hyperbole on the BBC site regarding the Liverpool v Arsenal match is predictably nauseating. It was an exciting match but ffs.

Sorry to hear that, mate. Best of luck. It’s a shit state of affairs but sometimes it can be the catalyst for finding something better in the long run.

I thought he did well when he came on. He looks a threat and his movement is good. Not too arsed about this as it was clearly a reaction to being subbed off after coming on as a sub. Not that it’s right but I expect Howe to tell him it’s not acceptable and for that to be the end of it

Heard about that but it’s the first time I’ve seen it. If Liverpool complain you would think he’ll be in bother over that

I hope Arsenal blow it but that’s a decent point in the end. Still in their own hands. Hopefully we break their hearts

Innit

I wonder if Arteta’s lads will stop time wasting now

There he is, displaying the type of honesty you’d expect from a bloke bucking anything with a pulse while his wife was dying of cancer 👍🏻 Imagine selling your soul to Mike Ashley for a fashion brand so tawdry and tatty that the average sports direct punter wouldn’t even buy it. An absolute fucking shambles of a bloke.

I think we’d have won the league cup if I hadn’t watched it live

Aye, I think the inconsistency is another area where it’s so frustrating.

Apart from needing a time limit on decisions, the other thing I said about VAR is that the officials looking at it in a screen are the ones who should overturn any decisions (if they decide the ref has made an error). On several occasions this season you’ve had situations where the ref has made the correct decision or has made arguably the correct call on a marginal decision. Only then to be asked to have a look at something again. This inevitably sows the seed of doubt in the ref’s mind. They then have to look at a screen and quickly reconsider their position. Looking at replays someone else has chosen, with the added pressure of doing it pitch side in front of the crowd. So you have the VAR official who has gotten involved when they shouldn’t have but then they don’t even take ultimate responsibility for that. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of the refereeing is poor but, in this instance, they’re being hung out to dry. It’s ridiculous
