if you like your jazz and film classy, strikes me you'd want fine beer as well :P

i've got nothing against any beer but drinking the horror away on a budget requires something with a little less attitude

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 13:24 (seven years ago) link

My budget is more supermarket brand plonk and lager, as much as I'd love to be a full on bon viveur. I am too much of a pisshead to go down the pay more for quality and less quantity route. If I cut out the booze for two nights it feels like a week!

calzino, Saturday, 11 March 2017 13:35 (seven years ago) link

lol! thread is turning into AA confessional space! I need to some googling on the Reading manager from the 1930's who was apparently a pisshead + whose insouciant attitude to team affairs was along the lines of *pulls hip flask from pocket and takes swig* "who we playing today then lads?"

calzino, Saturday, 11 March 2017 13:43 (seven years ago) link

all fair, all fair

bet there are some wholesale deals on good stuff. worth investigating at any rate

Hello, I'm a Fulham fan. In the UK at the moment so I'm going to the Blackburn game in midweek.

I've not really followed the Mighty Cottagers (lol) this season, but from what I've seen our gameplan is based largely around giving Sone Aluko a free role to blaze wide from eight yards as often as possible

Girl with Curious Hair, Saturday, 11 March 2017 13:51 (seven years ago) link

would settle for having somebody who blazes anywhere tbh

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 14:29 (seven years ago) link

a rare VLP goal that was actually a shot on target, must have been some kind of keeper error! But bless him all the same.

calzino, Saturday, 11 March 2017 15:32 (seven years ago) link

we are literally scrapping it out against a team that are already relegated. be nice to check in on League 1 again.

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 15:33 (seven years ago) link

no, wait, we've got a pen

Costa, already a broken man at 22, misses from the spot to keep his summer transfer hopes alive

ohmygod Marshall and Wiemann combine to score a goal, maybe this Lambert fella is onto something nah only joking Lambert Out

it's about this time of the season my thoughts turn to enjoying Hull FC blaze up the Superleague, with the added convenience that i can turn back to the new football season just as they choke and blow it

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 15:56 (seven years ago) link

county cricket's available

an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Saturday, 11 March 2017 15:57 (seven years ago) link

also true, bit early yet tho

There's a big snooker championship soon I think?

I think Wagner will probably be off to one of the German giants next season, his family have no intention of moving to the UK, and especially Hudds - which escaped any attention from the Luftwaffe but was hit hard by other more dastardly forces in the Thatcher years! I have got to wring every bit of enjoyment possible out of these last home games, because quite possibly they will never be as good again.

I edited Lincoln City off my betting slip in the game they were 11/1 against Burnley. Just because it was an early KO and I can't stand seeing my accs torpedoed down before 3pm.

calzino, Saturday, 11 March 2017 16:02 (seven years ago) link

Oh we just kicked off again

@Wolves shame it wasn't Lamberk's

It sounds like in the space of 4 minutes we could have doubled our lead and then got pegged back again. Proper Hackney Marshes level defending from both sides.

I can't deal with the BBC live videprinter these days, it keeps resetting and running through the pre-h/t scores again.

Girl with Curious Hair picked a decent introduction day itt. Fulham up 0-3 against Newcastle.

The new editor of our local rag is called Wayne Ankers, maybe a cousin of T Watt?

beautiful

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 16:23 (seven years ago) link

typically Rafa and the team he sent out were just perfect to do a job on us last week. Maybe he should have started with that big lump Murphy today as well.

calzino, Saturday, 11 March 2017 16:30 (seven years ago) link

admittedly i've not watched them loads but they've been shit most times i have, we shd've beaten them home and away, can't see them doing owt in the Prem without a major rehaul, probably starting with a new manager

two for ryan sessegnon, born when 'oops i did it again' was #1

90+3 It's almost heartbreak for Wolves. The ball is whipped across the box and falls to Ajayi 2 yards from goal. He skies it over the bar.

i just can't

this is Rotherham

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 16:54 (seven years ago) link

Congrats on a heroic win NV :)

Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 11 March 2017 16:55 (seven years ago) link

You too Calzino. Shame Leeds didn't lose but it's nice that Hudds is walking away from them.

Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 11 March 2017 16:56 (seven years ago) link

Wagner beat the MOM curse as well, which is pleasing considering the amount of moaning from Bellend Rd about him receiving it after his act of villainy (celebrating a late goal in a local derby game).

calzino, Saturday, 11 March 2017 17:01 (seven years ago) link

we didn't lose at home to walsall, tony watt did a thing

I've had more fun in a dentist - Fuson sack Lambert and get Pardew in

'We need a manager who shares our values and who is prepared to develop the team.

'The Brighton game was so far from what we expect to see from those wearing a Derby County shirt.'

I do wish Mr Candy Crush had sacked the useless fucker before the Brighton game and lol at the very idea that pissing away too much money on average players represents values rather than just thoughtless blunt force going badly wrong.

some clueless cunt in the Express & Star will be calling for Shteve to get the Wolves job tomorrow, have no fear

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 12 March 2017 21:53 (seven years ago) link

Well he has done a few big jobs in his time!

calzino, Sunday, 12 March 2017 22:17 (seven years ago) link

jumbo jobbies!

Looking from the outside it's strange how quickly things have gone wrong for Wolves. It all looked fairly promising a few weeks ago when they spent all that money on Helder Costa and won at Liverpool in the FA Cup.

I feel bad for Paul Lambert and I'm not entirely sure why. He looks like the manager of a Glasgow curry house that's slowly going down the tubes.

We play Wolves immediately after Blackburn, and I feel like we're going to give one of those teams a boost. I know every supporter of every football team in the world comes out with this old OOH THESE ARE THE SORT OF GAMES WE LOSE schtick as a kind of reverse jinx, but we lost 4-0 at home to Bristol City this season so I feel it's justified. Fulham like to fart on dreams just as surely as Tim Ream stealing a hat-trick off a 16-year-old.

Girl with Curious Hair, Sunday, 12 March 2017 23:04 (seven years ago) link

sounds like we've been hammering on Brentford's goal the whole 2nd half and just when i thought it was all over, boom, equalizer

plenty of time to concede, like

you're not forgiven yet Lambert, sit down

and Fulham go in front, no evening can be this perfect
