a look i've definitely owned myself, no side-eye intended
second thoughts i dunno i can't see any indication of a fly on there

yeah that got me too. blues and greys tho, not incohesive from barry
idk how many hours of my life i've spent sitting at desks like these pondering my distaste for the plastic cable hole cover thing
― r|t|c, Sunday, 29 January 2017 13:22 (seven years ago) link
the cover thing has a beautiful and thoughtful consonance with the plateless biscuits tho of course

have either of u begun to hallucinate scrubbed-out platitudes on the whiteboard yet

i am wondering where the computer is, shoved right back on the left-hand desk maybe, or is this the age of the laptop?

would a circa 2013 company thinkpad fit in the briefcase? i'm uncertain

somebody "artfully" placed those digestives there?
― Onanisi Paizuri (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 29 January 2017 12:38 Bookmark
thinking either they're contractual incentives for davies (one every 30 appearances perhaps) or barry has a private ritual where takes the 2 packs out of the drawer upon arrival at his desk, carefully lays them out, and then marks the passage of daily time with their consumption
final digestive is the healthy option taken in an attempt to mitigate guilt as home time nears and chides of wife re expanding waistline echo louder in the memory

hard lines whichever club tried to nick Mooy off us, sadly the cutoff point for City recalling him was the first week of the transfer window :×

luke freeman for 300k and big mathieu "matt" smith for 500k. no better than lower champo material imo but low risk in this market i spose

Alistair Durden @alidurdenBBC 27m#BristolCity have made an offer for #BristolRovers striker Matty Taylor. It triggers a release clause in his contract, I understand.

it is bad enough they just got stuffed 5-0 by the cobblers, but that will give them some gaseous nausea.

tbf selling ashley westwood up a division for 5m must surely be the irl equivalent of joker gas

Villa's desperate warehousing of every top striker/midfielder in the champ isn't working so far, so better do more of the same! I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones that bid for Mooy yesterday, even with their abundance of midfielders.
― calzino, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 14:13 (seven years ago) link
hourihane and bree was a banger tbf but yeah
note they loaned out 5m tshibola yesterday, along with 4m gollini earlier

we have Palace sniffing around our Danish lanky streak. Lately he has been complaining about not getting enough games, he was buzzing more than any of the other players when we got Man City yesterday.

Scunthorpe have turned down a surprise £4m offer for Kevin van Veen from a Chinese Super League club, Sky sources understand.
Henan Jianye FC would need to bid closer to £8m for Scunthorpe to consider their offer, according to Sky sources, with Graham Alexander's side chasing promotion to the Sky Bet Championship.

There's no reason why any of you should particularly care about this, but it's been a really weird season for Exeter so far: after 5 games: zero points. After 17 games we'd scraped together a miserable 16 points, and went to Orient needing to beat them to go above them in the table. Everyone was hunkering down for that long familiar slog to avoid relegation.
The last 11 games we've won nine and drawn two (scoring 24 and conceding 5 in the process), and we're now fourth in the division, a full 25 points above Orient. The manager seemed genuinely annoyed that we conceded two in beating nasty old Wycombe 4-2 last night (they were the first goals we'd conceded in 2017).
It doesn't feel quite real.
