  1. You've got the weekend. I'm doing some tomorrow. Though I'm cheating by using postfix.
  2. He is a good player. No doubt. But not great for me. No one's saying he has to be perfect; but based on his england performances he's failing to live up to his potential. Not just his final ball, but often runs into defenders and loses the ball- needs to improve his decision making. He has the pace and no doubt raw talent to scare defenders and get fans on the edge of their seats, but I want to see more for it. Hope you're right and he develops well- some continuity in the england set up may well help- I think that's helping at city.
  3. And remainers will still be posting stuff like this.
  4. Had my first ever trip to Widnes recently. The stories were true. It did indeed have a lingering chemical aroma.
  5. Kinell frank. I'd fancy my chances of bagging a couple playing in that team. There was talk earlier (before season) that he might be off to arsenal. Pep's done well him this year, and from that article it appears that he may be "getting on the end of things" more than being creative- something he doesn't (or in fairness can't) for England.
  6. Aye. Blue skies, cold and some wintry showers. Be interesting to see if, as we get nearer the time, if it gets heavy.
  7. Seconded. Quite like Dumfries and Galloway too.
  8. A work colleague of my missus was up in the lakes last weekend. Apparently he saw three separate skeins of geese, all containing roughly 100 birds. They were all travelling NORTH. Weird; very early. Perhaps cold weather elsewhere is having an effect; or we're going to have a marvellous summer.
  9. If millions voted for brexit on the basis of saving £350m per week then I'm sure plenty on Americans voted for trump on the basis a wall was going to be built.
  10. He's bogwank for england. Pep has him doing well, but I'm with cassie- will judge at higher level and I'm not sure he will cut it.
  11. Agreed fellas. I reckon 30 ft ish. Tops. There was a van (escort I think) on the Radcliffe road side quite a few feet down. I reckon its still there, as I was once landing (what turned out to be a perch) and for a while it went solid-reckon the bugger got me round part of it before I freed it. At 100ft I reckon they'd have been pulling out coal.
  12. Does anyone remember seeing the main lodge after the water leaked out- mid 80s I'm guessing? A neighbour was telling me today that his mate drowned in it in 67; and that divers who recovered him said it was around 100 feet deep. I explained that it was no where near that as I had walked around the bottom after the leak. Question is, could it have been partially refilled to make it shallower- I doubt this, but it would explain the discrepancy. Or is he just talking absolute bollocks?
  13. Also saying neither he nor ken want to let madine go. Already turned down more than one offer. Guess we'll see.
  14. Not sure TM could lead the remain camp. Remember, leave means leave.
  15. You may well be right about him justifying his decision to himself. Maybe he wonders what might have been. Not arsed now. Still wouldn't surprise me to see him involved in some way in a takeover later, but equally it might never happen.
  16. Absolutely.
  17. How about a wanderersways delegation? A team with Kent as player/manager of Shaggedabird fc. LW as captain for his formidable deviancy.
  18. We got my lad an OLFI. Made in wales and competes with stuff twice its price. Watched his first video when he went out on his bike- the daft sod was riding in an area where we'd said don't go- caught him red handed. His face was a picture.
  19. Reminds me of walking up the street going for dinner when working in manc. Kinell, one of the lads says "look at that"- a manky looking whore wearing a belt for a dress and nowt underneath, bent over in a phone box. I was really looking forward to my curry, but couldn't get the image out of my head.
  20. No they wouldn't. Might win, but landslide- no chance.
  21. Another one for no VAR. Bag of shite.
  22. We'll win three nowt Bolty. There you go.
  23. We've been here before; no doubt it still rankles with him somewhat. He seems to always have a bit of bitterness. Garty always said he'd be happy for Sam to go to a big club; I don't think he expected him to stay forever. Remember an interview on radio manc where he said if utd came knocking he'd drive Sam there himself. There was undoubtedly a good relationship there that went terribly sour. Shame, but its chip wrappers now.
  24. You're lucky; don't think I get any graphs. At least the scheme is doing well though.
  25. I reckon its a cultural thing- these Europeans seem more free and easy with kissing. Worked OK for Berlusconi.
