Yep I'm there now too. 80% of what is rotten in football would be instantly removed by having the top clubs gone. Genuinely, without the state-backed clubs and equivalents, the competitiveness of the English league as a whole would accelerate overnight. You'd be back to the 80's and 90's, the gap to non-league would not be so large, achievements like Wimbledon's promotion and Clough's back-to-back promotion/Championship win would be so much more possible. More than just 4 clubs would be able to win the league. Let them have their league and close it off. Sounds great to me. And the 'super league' wouldn't get a penny from me.

Coconut Tree is amazing. Tried Nadu the other day too which is very similar and also very decent.

Yeah that's basically a Firestick, Apple TV, Chromecast, etc. You plug them in and they give you access to all of your subscriptions, which you still have to pay for. They've been around for about 10 years by now I'd imagine. They're handy if you have an old TV with no apps on, or if you want IPTV or something.

For IPTV? Not at all. Just need to download particular apps and you're away. You can even run it on an Apple TV with it's locked app store.

Another top notch thread from RR

Did you get the DSP at Renato's? The guy who runs it has been doing it for some years out of old pubs and stuff trying to get it going I think, genuinely some of the best pizza I've ever had. Really need to get back there.

To be honest I think it's just going to be crap for a while. Even passing in 2009 it was only sub-£2k if you got Pass Plus as well. Biggest recommendations are to try all of the comparison sites (Compare the Market, Go Compare, Money Supermarket, Confused) - on all of them try with yourself as an added driver or your wife, or both (sometimes it's cheaper if you add both of you on!). Then if you have time just try to play with each filter, e.g. jobs can be quite subjective, some jobs could be described as Banking or Finance for example so try both and see which one comes out cheaper. Also sometimes car being parked on the road rather than on the drive can sometimes come out as inexplicably cheaper. I tend not to do it now so much but when I was younger I'd muck about with all of those and some of those little things would shave £30 off or so here and there.

Lounge's do a decent job, really don't mind them. Quite looking forward to seeing what they do with that work going on on Welsh Back by the Hole in the Wall. Supposed to be a food court of sorts with pop up restaurants and bars. Always thought Bristol could do with something a bit like Freight Island in Manchester, not that there is much space for it.

At least it's literally his only platform. Completely shunned by everywhere else, just a leader of idiots so daft they believe him. A complete loser.

Same vibes

That Saka penalty shout is a real tricky one, and yet again just shows how hard it is to referee a game. I think you can make a pretty decent case for both shouts in reality, but for me it's not quite a pen. Saka clearly looks for it and although Neuer is a bit daft with his challenge, Saka deliberately leaves a trailing leg way too far out. As 50:50 as it is, I think it's a superb decision from the ref. The easy way out would've been to give it.

Thanks for that, that's a great tip actually. Must admit I only really check Bristol, Cardiff and Heathrow.

Yeah absolutely. As much as I say the current domination is worse (in my opinion of course), it's just a different level of the same shit. Even if the Merc years were 'better' on account of two teammates being able to fight it out, the problem is still there. The sport as a whole is just miles away from where it could/should be competitively. 2026 could genuinely be pretty exciting, and it's almost impossible to predict which team will come out on top at this stage. Here's hoping the regulation period as a whole has a few twists and turns though - a shake-up in 2026 is only useful if it doesn't remain the same throughout the whole regulation period.

Unless I have something wildly wrong, that must be 10 hours of football now without a goal for them?

Ha, what a tragic little piece of **** that guy is. Completely unemployable, reduced to desperate attempts to stay relevant on Twitter. Deserves every last second of nothingness that the rest of his life will bring him.
