Welsh. Former central banker. Mostly skeeting about my cooking and LFC. Mostly. He/him. Almost died once and I wrote about my accident and the role Zwift had in my rehabilitation:

Completely agree, and I think Slow Horses follows this model. In the books and the show the characters don’t really have an arc. They gently reset each season. It’s a workplace sitcom and spy drama.

This is exactly where I am.

Oh nice! Then yeah, disappointing that the kits aren’t even close then.

It’s been a couple editions since I played it, but FM didn’t have the rights to the Premier League badges and kits, no?

Phoebe Bridgers’ Motion Sickness is the most brutal takedown, and if anyone ever wrote a song like that about me I would walk into the sea

I’d been a fan since discovering Whiskeytown in the 90s, but dropped him out of my rotation after the scandal broke. Saw he’d released a bunch of albums since and dipped into a couple but they seemed very poor and self-pitying.

Very. Couple of misplaced passes but definitely want him starting against City.

Yeah, and Wirtz is everywhere. So much so that I would worry of Madrid’s third choice RB came on as I suspect he’d have a lot of space.

You do have wonder what we’d have done last season with Ekitike or Isak up front.
November 4, 2025 at 8:41 PM
Pulling my hair out! Especially if this review goes against us.
November 4, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Yeah, really impressive first 10 mins. Playing like they did last season.

Pretty much every team does it in the Champions League. Real do as well. Red Star and Arsenal do. Tottenham and Copenhagen do. PSG and Bayern do. I can only assume it’s a requirement.

Ha, you’re an easy block.

Oh do fuck off with your conspiracy nonsense

Exactly! Also scientific consensus is natural zoonotic transmission. What relevance is a YouGov poll?! People believe lots of idiotic things!
