The Fish

Not a patch on Boris' garden bridge.

I think it is. So, here we are. Me being right, you being wrong. Neither willing to bend.

Is it not referencing the arbitrary way Europeans divvied up America, Midwest, etc. Ignorant of ancient tribal borders?

Jesus Christ. The political equivalent of that Portsmouth fan with the bell.

I read somewhere that it's less to do with numbers of players infected and more on a case by case basis. So, say for example, Darlow, Dubravka and Gillespie all had it, we'd get a postponement.

Those facebook posts must be a wind-up, surely?

Think I'll just watch an episode of Mandalorian while I play FM21 instead. No ASM, no Zaha, it'll be boring as fuck regardless of the result or scoreline.

It's all right, we'll dust ourselves down, roll up our sleeves, it's a work in progress, despite what the grumbles from keyboard warriors are.

That's shit mate, sorry to hear it.

'Man-management'

I'm not shocked ASM's form has dipped. Bruce is changing formation, and roles throughout the season. That must lead to players not being sure how they should be playing. I might be missing something, but surely you play him out wide with limited defensive responsibilities and just let him get on with it?

Glad I missed this.

There's a plan to visit the sister-in-law and her fucking arsehole of a boyfriend for Christmas. I'm still praying for a spike in the ol 'Rona to avoid it.

Martin, we've been over this. Britain is stupid. British people are, on the whole, moronic.

Religion is fucking stupid, but if humanity didn't go for war over religion, they'd sharp find something else as an excuse.

Bruce couldn't get anything out of Ben Arfa and all that lad wanted was a little bit of love and a lot of Greggs.

Best squad since relegation. Worst football since, I don't know when. If we stay up (I agree that it's likely we will because of the current bottom 4), Bruce will keep his job for another season. We're only going to get worse and our better players will want out; ASM, Almiron, Dubravka, etc.

I paid precisely the amount I was charged. I didn't secretly steal extra food from someone else's plate, or wipe the memory of any waiter who served me. Hell, I even left a decent tip (not a huge tip, c'mon who do you think I am?).

I understand that reference

That's the joke AH, thanks for playing.

Mrs Fish watches it. Should be grounds for divorce, but I watch "Secret History of Writing", so I guess we're even.

Same happened for us. Wouldn't happen in an English tapas cucina, let me tell you.

How so? The restaurant fucked up, the restaurant who feel perfectly comfortable charging nigh on a tenner for a sausage roll starter. We didn't lie, we didn't leg it, we gave them plenty of time to correct their mistake, but they didn't. That's on them. Food was delicious, tasted even sweeter at a 3rd of the price.

That's not the brag you think it is.

Years ago we went for a meal at Roast in London's Borough Market. Waitress brought the bill after 2 full Sunday lunches, with 3 courses and a couple of extra sides and a bottle of wine. Should have been about £150? Bill showed we'd only been charged for the sides and the wine, so about £50? No idea how they fucked it up, but I wasn't going to argue. Figured we'd only pay the full amount if we were challenged, then did that highly-suspect "we're not guilty at all" exit.
