Quiz question

Finally, PNE are one of nine football clubs in the Scottish and English senior divisions who have names which include North, South, East or West in their title, who are the other eight?

 

East Fife

Eastleigh

Southampton

West Ham

South Shields and North Shields (acceptable?)

Northampton

Queen of the South

Just watch Leftovers if you haven't seen it already.

The OA would've been a top top show if it didn't 'end' so abruptly as it wasn't renewed for a third season on Netflix. Mind bending. It's still a fav of mine tho and would say a must watch nonetheless.

Lost is the best show imo. Friends is a classic, obviously

Breaking Bad worth a mention although it's a large number of episodes.

Narcos Mexico.

Sons of Anarchy.

Santa Clarita Diet.

And Nightflyers is a show which deserves more recognition on Netflix.

Loki was ace and WandaVision really good on Disney.

Can't catagorise a top 5. There's so much about to watch. I would only put Lost and Leftovers in my top list as such. Different gravy.

I said I would no longer respond to you, so apologise for doing so.

I should just like to say that you  shouldn’t hesitate to post as you have as much right as anybody on this forum to post and say (subject to the usual limits) whatever you want and in whatever manner you wish.

You should be aware, however, that you (and your posts) will undoubtedly receive sarcastic responses, such is the nature of a forum - if I may say so, however, just try and ignore such responses or, if you really must reply, try not to respond aggressively so as to avoid any risk of being banned.

Never understood aggressive posts. It's a forum on the internet. How can anyone get personally wound up?  

And as for checking posts before sending, you've double spaced in the quoted above. Please edit.

And finally... Phil, **** off already.

Ta.

Literally got one coming in 30 mins. Can't beat Mario's.

Got to try this place in Weston a couple of weeks back, you wont be disappointed, everything is good.

Looks good. My sort of thing.

Had a Phat Burger takeaway from their Warmley branch yesterday. Have to say I was disappointed. My beefburger was like meat sourced from a supermarket and the chicken burger was overly dry.

Nice shake and dirty fries were better than some others. Good portions tho. May go back some time and try their nachos and a loaded up hot dog before I make a full judgement, sometimes (like any place) they have off days.

Not a patch on the Hob Goblin, Glos Rd.

How is Mario's Fish Bar not on the list. Banging fish and chips, great portions and amazing prices. Not to mention the rest of the menu

Back on the burger debate, has anyone tried the Bristol Burger Bus? Check them out on Instagram. They are in different places each night and do a special burger each week. It’s an old New York style school bus. Pretty cool and the burgers and onion rings are decent 

Well hyped and marketed but average at best imo.

Going for a Phat Burger from Warmley soon. Heard good things about them. Check their website. Also in Clutton.

On the subject of alternating locations; Pizza Adorare is worth a mention. Often difficult to turn up and get a pizza. They often sell out on pre-orders. My mate and his wife run it together and fair play to them as they've done really well. Check their Facebook page

Bit 'pretentious' for me. Can't say I've ever been a fan of that approach to dining.

Hope it's worth it

Agreed. St Nicks has been amazing for top quality street food for years, going back at least 15 years or so I’d say. 

Matina is top quality and fantastic value I’ll agree with that. The Caribbean lady there does the best Curry Goat in town, too. 

Indeed. That food market area is a spoil in general. Coffee, meats, cake, lunch; it has it all there more or less.

Bang these on the list if you've not been...

Pasture (city centre) - Steak/roast dinners

Spitfire BBQ (city centre) - Meat platters etc

Hobgoblin (Glos Rd) - Burgers/'dirty' fries

Shadin (Staple Hill) - Indian food

Matina (St Nics Market) - Middle Eastern wraps

For Bath, there's a few again. But Capadoccia is a great Turkish restaurant. And Jars Mezze is amazing.

Jason Donervan was the guy. Probably still is.

Money talks.

The Health/Economic scales have swayed.

52 game season  I'd hope they'd be scrapping both cups to allow that, how many up from league 2 to league 1 to make up for Bury? 4 would normally go up as it was, promotions from national league as well? or you've got a very small league 2

Was thinking surely they'd at least drop the League Cup and EFL trophy to compensate the amount of matches/demand. 

Some clubs may be financially fooked and struggle for senior players.

Bump, needs to be heard

I believe it will mean 23 teams in Premiership, 27 in Champ and six relegated instead of three.

It's not up to him.

EFL finished though according to someone from Rovers apparently. Leaked some info. League sizes to be different next season and more relegations to level it out for the following 2021/22 season?

Oops.

Nightflyers

One of the hidden gems.

Dwayne Rooney signing next apparently.

Pringles trending on Twitter.

WAG #3 has entered the game.

Crikey, some nibbles on here.

I just hope Mark Little sleeps well at night.

Skims through thread....

BIG YAWN

Radio Briz Ed Hadwin's interview skills leave a lot to be desired especially with his questions but either Darrell thought he should emulate SO'D or he had more important things on his mind. He was more dour than usual and less helpful to the interviewer when asked several yes/no (closed) questions. It made me think that the way he responded was if he'd been sacked or was leaving but couldn't share because it was embargoed.

 

Better question is who actually gives a ****?

Cus I don’t.

On the contrary, as of around about a month ago, City recorded the most key passes in the league. Problem at both ends of the pitch?

A real contrast from the Sale game and very enjoyable.

Great spirit.

Went down today with my freebie ticket.I will never moan about a boring football match again as it was bloody shocking.The standard of rugby from Bristol was really poor and the atmosphere was crap as well.The only plus was that I could take my pint to my seat and drink it with no problems.All I can say to Steve Lansdown is save your money because in the championship next year the crowds will be cut by half.

You should have sat in the middle of your row.

I didn't need to get up for anyone during the match.
