Spitting image sketch this.

They were calling his mum a slag. Read an article about her, as I was curious as to why her, and it appears that she's simply always been a good, protective mum to him. Some incident a while back where Phil was getting grief at an Amir Khan fight, and she stood up to his abusers, but that is just confirmation of her standing up for her son. Fans, like the world, can be pretty fucked up.

If taken as a point of fact, it does. I missed your sarcasm initially, so yes it now makes sense! Russia has had to offload a lot of oil to China as a result of sanctions. I would imagine they're not getting the market price for it though- perhaps Tyldesley could shed some light- as China could just get it from anywhere. As an aside, these ships of theirs (and maybe China too) that keep breaking communication cables by dragging anchors etc: maybe it's time one of them had an unfortunate accident. Perhaps by inadvertently dragging up some old WW2 UXB?

Presumably the WiFi is very good, despite the distance. Wouldn't want the climax ruined by a spinning wheel.

It's what our investments and pensions depend upon, at least in part. Once my mortgage has finished, reckon I might start having a little dabble.

That contradicts your first post- or am I missing something? Russia is partially fucked anyway. Loads of little stories of production problems with regards to weapons. Missiles without proper guidance system in the nose, with blank cover instead. They may be on a war footing, and producing stuff at a greater rate than in peacetime, but their supply chains aren't as good as they'd like them to be. Costing them an absolute fortune too- their economy is smaller than ours too (at the moment). It's economy is believed to be growing, though much of it via a "dark economy"- dodgy sales of oil etc.

That's trading for you. Folk trying to make money in the volatility, adds volatility. Talking to my neighbour the other day; he was given a steer over a software company ages back. Invested and watched as the share price went up and up. Should have set himself a cash out percentage, but got greedy. Could have got out at double, or even treble his initial investment, but the company, for whatever reason, went tits up, and his dosh disappeared into the ether.

I'd guess it's because they are a net exporter of petroleum products. Anyway, fuck Russia.

Danny. Far better than given credit for. I remember him in front of Campo against Arsenal. His constant energy and willingness to run at the fullback protected the Spaniard. Iirc we were ahead at the time (may have been level) when Megson tool him off. All protection disappeared, they doubled up onto Campo and turned the game round. Always sticks in my mind this particular incident, as for me, it was one of the worst substitutions I've ever seen.

Need some rain at the moment. Few showers over night would be fine.

Tarts.

Two blokes parachuted into the stadium before kick off, part of the entertainment. Except one missed the pitch, and is currently dangling mid air from the roof. 🤣 A European game involving Sale.

What about us v Rotherham though!

Get it roughed up, and reversing!

Scousers getting tatered at the moment.

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/russian-spy-uk-waters-submarine-b1220967.html Getting tasty now. There was an episode of one of those navy programmes a while ago, where a Russian ship was filmed dropping things over board. I'm sure there is more that we don't know about too.

We have to win a match comfortably eventually. Doubt it will be this one though! A win to nil will do nicely.

Softy. Been out already in the cold. Had some decent slabs out in February. Frost bite was setting in though, so packed up! This easterly wind is a bastard at the moment.

Rotherham won't be easy, and they won't comfortably at their place, albeit under Evatt. Barnsley will be difficult, if only because of recent history. Lincoln are a mixed bag. Plenty of twists and turns yet.

Why would it be? There are several posts on the matter, with differing views. If we're essentially agreeing, then maybe it was a response to someone else!

Large the same squad that narrowly missed out of the top two last season. We know why it went tits up since, and some players will no doubt be moved on. That isn't to say they're all brilliant- nomone has said that- but they're not all as bad as you and others seem to claim. There is more sprint in the team now, which is a good starting point.

I don't dispute that, I just can't be doing with the way he behaves in pursuing his goals. Seems to lack detail and is rushed, hence the comebacks and stories of removing folk from post and then realising they actually need then. The dei purge is not before time though, and will hopefully spread out across the pond.

It is huge, but I doubt it will change his overall beliefs one iota. Maybe it shouldn't neither. World trade won't cease, it's too interconnected. He's been talking about growth well before Trump was elected, and growth here won't occur without the supply chains. Removing barriers to growth needs to be the starting point. In these days of "populism" accusations (something that is quite ignorant in itself) then this may be an example. Proof of the pudding etc.

More decent weather this week too. Very unusual spring, and I wonder how the pitches will behave. Surely there will be less juice in them than normal. More bounce, less swing?

Urgh, that's grim. Green waste recycling back to the fore again.
