Red-Robbo

Well that was shite. It happens. Hopefully the lessons will be learned by Wednesday.

Now we just need to score two in extra time like Forest did against us....

Let's not forget we haven't scored yet either. If the ball is constantly being lost upfield and rebounding on us, defenders will make mistakes. Just like the rest of the side have.

Could be worse:

It's Steve.

Me and the missus had arranged to drive from Somerset to York to meet mates for a NYE pub crawl on that day. Total white knuckle drive up the A39 to Bristol. Cars off the road either side of me who'd obviously slid earlier. Coming through Whitchurch I saw a cop car that had encountered a lamp post to its detriment. Got out the car in Bristol to call and tell my mates I was going to be late, only to nearly fall on my arse! After Bristol, the ice gave way to falling snow and somewhere near Thornbury my iced-up driver side windscreen wiper went flying off onto the M5. Had to drive for 5 miles on the hard shoulder with my head stuck out the window in a blizzard!

It's whattabouttery however as maybe it should have. Just because it happened in another context in the past, doesn't excuse footballing abusers in the present.

8 men had a nightmare, is probably more accurate. They were placed in a very invidious situation.

Made 3 appearances for Lazio before being loaned out to various Seria B clubs and now - at 25 - "retired" out to a Chinese club. Thing is, Lazio had to bring in dental and bone density experts to supposedly prove his age as the Italian authorities disputed it.

Ah, the old rope-a-dope tactic.

100% agree. This genuine meteorologist identifies the guilty men in this very angry blog: https://durhamukweather.com/exacta-weather-and-the-daily-express-fake-weather-news/

This sketch is basically a visual version of the Daily Express, including its weather forecasting:

Is there ever a time that weather conditions in Blackpool aren't poor?

Blige! I better tell Mrs Robbo. We're rich, I tell you, rich!!

Yeah. Were they BP? Whichever retailer it was did a series of historical ones as well. I still have one somewhere of George Washington - and the United States didn't even qualify in 1970!

Too right! Strictly rap and hip-hop on Coach One.

Still got my nice black fake leatherette coin album from the 1970 World Cup. Sadly, most of the squad seem to have fallen out and gone AWOL over the years, but I've still got Francis Lee; Geoff Hurst; Colin Bell; Peter Bonetti and Terry Cooper. ?

Cheers for saving me the bother of writing this. I'm sitting opposite one such at this very minute.

And anyway, what's the problem with a bit of coldness.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60240754

WX Charts is the public access forecast of Met Desk Ltd. Three blokes based in this exciting office, next to Wendover station in Hampshire. If the Meteorological Office forecast snow I'd take it seriously. If these clickbait jokers do, I'd not worry about buying a new snow shovel.

Delph played a couple of games in November and was an unused sub in another. A different player was named as the man arrested in the Icelandic press.

It isn't a criminal conviction and I never said it was. OJ Simpson was not criminally convicted of murder, but he was likewise found legally liable (in his case for two murders). Were he still an active sportsman, I'd argue that he should be debarred from appearing on that basis.

He was convicted on the balance of probabilities in a civil court after a trial that heard the evidence and heard his defence. Nothing I wrote is dangerous. Good points.

Totally agree. They are all different cases though. Goodwillie has been found guilty of rape by a court (yes, I know it was a civil case, but it heard the evidence and convicted). I think the SFA and FA should jointly make it a rule that anyone convicted of rape and a number of other serious offences cannot play professional football. We know players are looked up to by young boys. We cannot normalise sexual violence by letting such a man participate in such a public sport. Mendy is accused of horrific crimes and is awaiting trial. He's suspended. If convicted - and the little I've seen looks damning for him - I can't imagine him ever earning a living in the sport again. Even if a non-European club might be tempted to hire a serial rapist, he'll serve too long to be in contention on release. Greenwood - I imagine the senior officers in the case are talking with the CPS about the likelihood of making charges stick. But even without charges, that audio would make me want to instantly release him from his contract if I was Man U. Unless he has very good proof that wasn't him, or was in some way faked, he should be history, even if he isn't charged and convicted. Which all bring us on to what audio and body cam footage will show us about the behaviour of a Mr Joseph Barton, when his case resumes in March. Being forgiven and excused by the victim doesn't mean you aren't violent towards women. Unacceptable. Danny Simpson, that goes for you too. You're in a well-paid job where higher standards of behaviour should be demanded than trying to choke your missus because you were in a temper. I didn't want him here. I still don't. His presence taints our club.

As you say, different genres entirely. Wiley certainly popularised grime and made chart-friendly versions which brought mainstream success - so many have followed in his footsteps. I would say I was a fan of his flow and word-play, but his recent outbursts have taken him off my playlists. I have Jewish family. I can't forgive.
