  1. Haha not sure my legs agree, cycling to and from work this week has been tough! 30km is a perfect Sunday ride. The mrs was away so I thought fuck it, let's see how far I can get
  2. aye, why not
  3. We used to get the frozen foods guy come around, think my mum would order certain stuff from a catalog and he'd deliver to your door. I remember thinking it was full of hidden treasure as a kid. But no, just birds eye peas Cheap black football boots - they are all horrifically coloured or you have to pay through the nose for the Adidas ones Proper sized Magnums (ice creams)
  4. how's the league table panning out? I used to do it, but decided to take a sabbatical this season. My football consumption as a result has significantly reduced.
  5. Excellent read Dolly As I said, finishing anywhere but second (yes, first is out) is not acceptable. We have to finish above a club that doesn't have the budget we do and a club that died and is in turmoil. I'm not calling for him to go if that does happen, but there should be some repercussions and some serious soul searching. It would not be acceptable to many fans imo.
  6. Cycled from Guilford to the New Forest on Sunday, nice 112km ride on a autumns foggy morning. The New Forest is mental, deer, horses, cows, sheep and pigs all roam free, made it pretty interesting when it started to get dark. Decided that we should head into a pub and wait for a cab. The colours on the trees were amazing though and a few awesome pubs along the way. Just wish we could have stopped at them all! Only downer having to get the Overground all the way home instead of cycling as my lights had died. Added an hour onto my journey
  7. I'm out!

    Saw that this morning, happy days
  9. B- from me. I know it was only a few games to get to the final, but these are games we could have easily lost had we not been as professional as we have been. We also beat St. Johnstone who are a bogey team of ours. I just hope we win the damn thing. However, league wise, it hasn't been great and thats where deek has truly let himself down. The constant tinkering for tinkering sake at the start of the season was ridiculous. The continuous picking of McLean is ridiculous. If ever there was a player that needed to be dropped, it was him. I rate him, but it's just not working out for him at the moment but his price tag is the only reason why he's in the starting XI at the moment. I think LA hits it on the head, Maddison has absolutely saved our arse. We better pray we can keep him for the whole duration of the season or I fear the season will wither away. Finishing below either the newborn huns or diet huns would be unacceptable.
  10. Aye, even missed the airing on tv What a shame
  11. What's i've always thought about her too. Clearly has a wild side
  12. Frustrating. That's how I'd describe that. The last 25 is how we should have started the game, they are there for the taking and didn't like it up them. It was the wrong game to try something different, but I guess we always criticise him for not using his squad. What I noticed was that Pittodrie did not empty out despite us being 1-0 down with a few mins to go, looked like everyone stayed behind for that last 6 mins. Excellent effort, just couldn't find that final ball or shot today. Thank fuck for Lewis, that would have been embarrassing. Some absolute world class saves there that none of our recent keepers would have made imo. Not even Ward.
  13. Nope, in all honesty, they will be 13 points clear (assuming they win their game in hand). Steven McLean is an absolute cunt.
  14. We've wasted all of our set plays today, shite short corners (when we had them) and then pointless balls like that. Should have brought stockley on for the free kick
  15. This referee, seriously?
  16. Was always amazed it never worked out for him in the EPL, but he made some poor career moves imo.
  17. Fixed that for you
  18. Made some incredible saves so far, what a keeper.
  19. Surprised by the subs, agree though it would be burns and McLean.
  20. Being prepared asap. thank fuck. Something needs to change
  21. Making it so easy for them. Our defence is all over the shop. Not sure what our marking system is but it ain't working. Practically giving them the freedom of our box.
  22. Yep, need to calm down rather than running around like headless chickens. We were playing some good stuff before the goal.
  23. FFS, what the hell were our defence doing there?!? Great finish right enough but fucksake. Shite.
  24. Need to stop playing these short fucking corners.
  25. All good! Going to merge them
