We used to only have to turn up to beat this lot. Mental how they're now lightyears ahead of us.

Worst team we could've put out.

Wonder if we'll get a half-decent fee for him in the summer? Ridiculous given we've sold our most creative player to not play Benny. Is Sammy really good enough yet to warrant a start against Spurs?

Cooking some beef mince in reggae reggae cooking sauce (I normally try to avoid jars of sauces but I love this) and a bit of beer added. Student staple of mine for 4 years. Serving up with quinoa cooked in beer & beef stock. Had a cheeky taste of the quinoa and it's pretty great. Needed a little slug of balsamic vinegar to take the bitterness edge off, but otherwise a hefty side.

What a fucking tool.

He'd microwave the whole lot. Surprised he doesn't just sign up to a lifetime supply of wiltshire farm foods.

Seems like the last time Sunderland beat Man City at home was in 1998. Last two PL meetings (both at the Stadium of Shite), mackems have beat them 1-0. Last 3 seasons looks like this: 2013/2014 Sun 10 Nov Sunderland 1 - 0 Man. City Premier League 2012/2013 Wed 26 Dec Sunderland 1 - 0 Man. City Premier League Sat 06 Oct Man. City 3 - 0 Sunderland Premier League 2011/2012 Sat 31 Mar Man. City 3 - 3 Sunderland Premier League Sun 01 Jan Sunderland 1 - 0 Man. City Premier League 2010/2011 Sun 03 Apr Man. City 5 - 0 Sunderland Premier League Heinz: http://www.manchestercity-mad.co.uk/head_to_head/manchester_city/vs/sunderland/index.shtml

They beat Man City earlier this season, wouldn't surprise me if they park the bus and grind out a draw or snatch a win. Against all odds attitude to all their big games means they have nothing to lose. They'll stay up, might even grab a cup.

Raise your glasses. RIP.

Just once could a chinese athlete compete in a sporting event without a beeb commentator referencing 'ming the merciless' and the like?

It does as well. They've even captured the vacant mackem gaze.

Nailed on draw. Both teams are shite. Really don't want Spurs to win, that smug git in charge really irks me.

15-year old Japanese guy just opens up with a 92.25 in the snowboarding. He went about 20ft up in the air at one stage. Moon physics.

Tom for Tea ‏@TomforTea 1h Made lamb & mint sausages with mash, sauteed cabbage, carrots & raisin, with minted sweet onion gravy. Fancy pants! pic.twitter.com/9hbgXUu0fZ Latest from my foray into the twittersphere. This was pretty damn nice, except I had to make do with jumbo bloody raisins because I'd run out of sultanas. The lamb and mint sausages are from M&S and they're brilliant. Gravy recipe (because it was awesome): 10g butter 1 large tsp sweet onion chutney 1 large tsp mint sauce 1 tsp ketchup pinch salt (as pictured) beef stock Hoy the butter in a pan and melt it on a low heat. Spoon in the chutney and mint sauce, combining everything together. Squeeze in the ketchup and salt. Combine. (Note at this stage, if you want a runnier gravy then carry on. If you want it a little bit thicker, whisk in a spoon of plain flour to make a roux. Whisk it furiously though so you don't get mini dumplingy lumps in your gravy. Add in stock slowly until you get the right consistency) Slowly pour in stock until you get the right gravy. Let it simmer a while for all the flavour to come together. Comes out sweet and tangy, perfect for anything lamb and way too easy.

Don't find the Philomena stuff funny at all. Don't know why Brooker persists with either her or the bald bloke.

I couldn't work at home, far too many distractions. That's a bum deal, Fish. Finding jobs is a fucking ball ache at the moment, seems no-one wants to know.

Yashere is just like Russell Howard, in that neither say anything funny so they just shout it until people laugh. Albeit Yashere shouts in a nigerian accent because we like to have a cheeky laugh at the silly accent (apparently). Very telling that the best aspect of his show is the tried and tested Have I Got News For You funny picture format, which all these fuckers now showcase as part of the bbc act. Millican may be a 'safe' comedian but she's still quite funny. She's fallen victim to the beeb's shoehorning though - definitely most comfortable on stage rather than as a Graham Norton (who's borderline insufferable these days). I like to see comedians playing pubs as every so often there's a real gem. I only remember one woman though and she was acting as compare rather than one of the acts, most of which she delegated to a local improv society who were shit. Could well be that at the moment a lot of 'funny' women don't see stand up comedy as an attractive enough prospect to see a higher standard of comics making it.

That's lazy, even for you! The Returned was utter bollocks, mind.

The funniest female comedian on telly at the moment is Sarah Millican. There's definitely a dearth of female comics, but is that because there are barriers to entry or that most on the current touring circuit are just shit?

I like how you're posting rather frequently on the forum today given you were late in and it's bonus day.

CT sorting out his funeral arrangements.

How about simplifying it to 'no more comedy panel shows'?

When your acting pinnacle was Even Stevens, no wonder you have to resort to desperate attention pleas. Lars Von Trier can fuck off an all. Pretentious, shit-yet-deep-film-making nitwit.

Shutter Island. Twist was too easy to spot (guessed 5 minutes in), but it was a fun ride getting there. The ending was made to be nice and ambiguous though. 7/10

I was about to suggest crisps! Makes a nice veggie roulade: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/party-food/roulade/cheese-and-parsnip-roulade-with-sage-and-onion-stuffing.html
