    Things that annoy you

    Is that Heinz product an attempt to mimic the Scottish "Sauce" they put on their chips (especially in Edinburgh, i think)? Kind of a blend of vinegar and brown sauce. Revolting!

    Maybe they would care to watch this. Powerful stuff ....

    FA Cup 2024/25

    Even if you disagreed with the handball decision, you confront the officials about that decision, not get in the player's face

    FA Cup 2024/25

    Yep pleased to see a less fashionable club win their first trophy. Kind of takes me back to 87 (though we played the opposition off the park, unlike Palace). The Ultras thing is a bit lame, but they made a lot of noise all the way through. Probably would have been silent if they were getting...

    Things that annoy you

    The main issue is the debacle that is "social care". There are too few places in care homes or nursing homes, so people who don't need to be in hospital but can't live safely at home are bed blocking. Once they have been shifted, it then takes 15 hospital bed managers to decide if there is...

    Call 111. They'll tell you to take 2 paracetamol and go to your GP, or call an ambulance if you think it's an emergency We are very lucky with our GP practice. My wife rang them at 8 (as required) recently. Was answered in a few minutes. Was told she would be on the triage list. Doctor rang...

    League One 24/25

    Good win for Charlton last night to get to Wembley. Shame the wanker Nathan Jones is their manager, cos i quite like the Addicks - proper club, and they looked powerful last night. Super Matty Godden got the winner. Their guy Lloyd Jones has been taking heading lessons from Haji Wright.

    Edited for you. Is it coincidence that Djokovic's form has fallen off a cliff since he had Andy Murray on his coaching team?

    Wright and Simms

    I rewatched the semi highlights last week and had forgotten what a complete shin his goal was! Almost identical to his effort against Boro in the last game at home, except that time it went the wrong side of the post! The other goals against Man U were O-Hare's MASSIVE deflection which Onana...

    Something like that. Not exactly a tear-jerker like Terry Wogan's or Johnnie Walker's. It didn't help that he immediately said "And now the phone-in with Lorna Bailey", which spoilt the moment and had me reaching for the off switch!

    Yeah, but apart from that .... ! :D

    We finished f*cking FIFTH in the Champ!! That is a GOOD season, everyone, and plenty to celebrate.

    Wright and Simms

    Sorry, are we talking about Kieffer Moore here? The one everyone said was a donkey the other day after he won that pen and red card against Bristol City?? The main strike centre-forward who has scored FIVE goals (yep, count 'em) in 27 appearances this season??? Haji Wright scored 12 in his 27 games.

    Wright and Simms

    I'm glad i am not the only one. I just haven't been able to see this "Prem-quality", "Best MF in the Champ" title having anything to back it up. And his shooting (including from the penalty spot) is atrocious! Time to go-o!

    Reflecting

    I have to say that I don't think we "deserved" to go up (if there is such a thing in life, let alone football), as i don't believe, overall, we are good enough. Here's my thoughts:- 1. We don't score enough goals from our forward line. Simms and Wright don't trouble defenders enough, and their...

    "Cheat code". WTF does it mean, and why am i hearing it about every little thing, even in the context of the processing of asylum seekers (5Live this morning)? Is it being used instead of something like "secret weapon" or "magic bullet" or even "shortcut"? They strike me as being entirely...

    True, but i don't suppose that many people listening to CWR would give the shiniest of shits about AFC Wimbledon or Orient, so not the most cardinal of sins in my book.
