Christmas Tree

Quite happy with that given Gordon must be injured.

No Gordon anywhere

Two up front? Murphy in? Howe did seem a bit coy about two injuries we had during the week. Got to be a win or it’s going to be a miserable week

They all look delicious tbf, just not Keto

Sir, I can tell you it’s a very long time since my bean sprout received such admiration from my wife!

Not yet. On the to do list.

Bloke with cap at the front is exactly how I imagine @Howmanheyman looks

Just finished this and what a brilliant rugged show. Really captures the struggles faced by the pioneers. Also watched Yellowstone which was excellent, but more dallasy. Apparently there’s another Yellowstone prequel out called 1923 with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.

Nearly 10 years later and I’ve cracked it Boil some water in a wok, add Bean sprouts and cook for 2 minutes, drain and set aside. Add some sesame oil to clean Wok and add a few onions, chillis, spring onions and garlic (I used lazy garlic). Stir fry for a few minutes and add the bean sprouts after a minute add some dark soya sauce and stir fry for another minute. Fucking Beeaauutiful

Mystic Meg Didn’t see that coming

Really Should be right up your street with all the tits bouncing about.

I do. They were remarkable. But still mind blowing to be able to calculate a journey of 1/4 million miles and all the challenges involved, never mind the engineering and actual flight difficulties.

Love hidden figures.

I like how (to most sane people), the invention of smart phones, video cameras etc has basically killed the UFO stuff.

I don’t disagree with any of that, but even when you see “54 years”, it’s mind blowing to think they pulled it off then with the technology available at that time. Not sure whether it’s true, but it used to be said a big standard calculator has more processing capabilities that what was available back then.

I agree. Just seems so far fetched being able to do that back then, especially without sat nav.

Anybody else watched Elite?

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but…… If it broke on the news today that one of them was actually true, which would least surprise you? For me it would probably be the moon landings. Just purely looking back from a technological point of view, it is incredible with the computing hard and software available in the 60’s that they could send a craft 1/4 million miles, land it, take off and come back. I will still believe unless proved otherwise but that one wouldn’t shock me.

I miss Parky

I don’t see any harm with a bit of analysis of Howe as long as it’s not anti Howe. He’s a good young manager that no doubt will only get better the longer he has with us. We did fantastic pre World Cup with the same squad and have performed worse after it. It’s understandable he’s been reluctant to change things up given the success the team has had, however there’s been some noticeable events post World Cup. 1. Wilson’s loss of form 2. Our Right sided attack of Trippier, Almiron being found out and stopped. 3. Almiron free scoring dried up. 4. Burn starting to struggle. 5. Lots of chances going begging. 6. To me, Bruno not getting as far upfield as he was. I can fully understand Howe keeping faith and hoping some of those chances go in and the tide would turn. I also feel a bit frustrated that he hasn’t being more pro active in mixing things up a bit. Still has my 100% support, hope he makes some changes v Wolves and hope he’s here for years to come.

Strange game that. Apart from our usual missed chances, we seemed to give the ball away far too much and very poor at picking out longer passes. I would pick the team that finished to start next time out with Shar back in for Lascelles and Gordon / Longstaff in for Joelinton.

Deffo missing Maxi though. He would carry the ball upfield a lot better than we are doing so far.

My guess was hod carrier
