Chicken and Leek Pie with a wholegrain mustard sauce. Should have took a pic of it cut really but we cracked on and scoffed it.

@nudge - Finished season 2 of Snowpiercer. As you mentioned in your DM to me, the feet licking scenes are indeed epic.

7 in 90 minutes. Wow.

Gyros tonight.

As far as I know, relocating was always the goal. We had the Battersea Power Station in mind but lost out in that. There have been other pursuits but the pitch owners did not oblige. The redevelopment on Stamford Bridge was merely adding a suite, and I think for 2023 the season ticket prices are going to rise substantially considering the cost of business now along with a stagnation on ticket pricing for several years. Match going fans are going to be upset at the rise in costs but this is all to accommodate to stay at Stamford Bridge, which is what the pitch owners want.

What a timeless classic!

Adana Kebap on tomato-curry rice, with salad and a mint yoghurt dip. First time I've made Adana Kebap, and I'm quite happy with the outcome.

When I was a kid, I fucking hated sitting in the car on the drive to sydney, mostly because back then, we'd listen to a CD, and either on the way up or back, one was always a Leonard Cohen mix. 6-12 year old me fucking hated that shit. I now listen to it. Fuck I'm old.

I think there is enough of an argument to make where we really shouldn't be focusing on building a team around Lukaku given how limited he is as a footballer. Especially at the expense of forfeiting a system that won us the Champions League. This deal was just yet another reminder how those upstairs are lightyears away from having the same footballing sense as you lot and City. We buy players merely on output and name vs whether or not they represent what we want in our football, which presents a problem in itself as the club doesn't even know what they want. I personally hope Atletico come to our rescue for the 4th time ala Kezman, Torres, and Morata.

Will Everton change their badge to read, Frank Lampard's Everton?

Well well well. I have a new found respect for Wayne Rooney, which is really annoying given he's done his best to be pretty dislikeable in the past. For him to turn down the chance to go back and manage his boyhood club in the Premier League and see the job through at Derby given the position they are in, with his hands tied behind his back, well that deserves the utmost respect for me. Could easily have jumped ship, and I'm sure he thought about it, but you can tell he's got the bit between his teeth with this whole Derby thing and wants to finish the job. Kudos to him.

Nothing more enjoyable than waking up, looking out our flat window and seeing a frosty morning, I love it, bring on the snow.

Putin orders troops into Eastern Ukraine

@Dr. Gonzo I think Abramovich wants to sell I recall Radcliffe of Unilever offered £2bn and RA wanted £3bn. So nothing happened. So think the focus is to keep winning trophies while staying within FFP or as close as possible with the hope someone else buys the club. This is why I don't think we will get a long term plan.
