Blame Ofcom, they forced Sky into a corner.


City looked like total strangers in the first half, massive improvement in the second though, after they've had a bit of time together we could be looking good. And Joe Hart did OK....

Me too. The music also seemed to be the original version which took me back to my very early MOTD viewing. I was allowed to stay up late to watch it on a Saturday but only after having gone to bed at the same time as my younger brother and then get up once he had fallen asleep (stuffing pillows under the blankets to make it look like I was still there if he woke up). I've no idea why this was necessary!


For older viewers what about that Wolves goal. It reminded me of Ernie Hunt scoring for Coventry against Everton I think. I think it was called the 'donkey kick' which was subsequently outlawed from the game. Was it Willie Carr who set him up?


PS Revenge for the stuffed pillows under the blankets did follow when I was found out. I went to bed one night only to see what looked like stuffed pillows under my blankets. Pulling them back I found our beloved flea ridden collie/sheepdog Spot looking at me. I swear he could smile.

I was pleased with the pool yesterday, and they were unlucky to conceed a horrible goal, but I'd be more concerned if I was an Arsenal supporter. The Arsenal fans in the CPT were not a happy bunch. Liverpool controlled most of the second half, with 10 men.


Real shame for Cole, who is not a dirty player, but that was a red, no doubt. It wasn't malicious, but it was a shocking challenge. Hopefully he'll come back strong.


Anyway, I take heart form that performance (which basically should have been a win), and quite like the fact everyone has totally written the pool off. Now the reds can just get on with it, and see how the season works out. Spurs and City have a lot more pressure on them right now.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
