Mushrooms are delicious mate, they deserve a second chance from you at some point in your life.

I'd do ground lamb or beef, grated carrot, grated onion, peas, rosemary + thyme, garlic & then potatoes for the mash. I'd probably bung some parmesan cheese into my mash because that's the secret to all good mashed potatoes (but that's probably not the most authentic way). Maybe try it with mushrooms one time & mushrooms without to see which one you'd like better... because I genuinely have no clue whether mushrooms would make it more authentic or not.

Looks hard as fuck, but also looks like it makes for a great RPG

Enjoy mate. I am now hungry for shepherd's pie though.

I’ve not heard about it, but it sounds cool

Wait are you saying it's bizarre that Buzzfeed's got a good political journalist? I used to think it was pretty bizarre that Buzzfeed was turning out to produce regularly good investigative journalist content. But it turns out they've gone well out of their way to hire really good journalists. Their clickbait pays the bills for their serious news work... and lately they've actually broke a lot of stories that get picked up by the bigger, more trusted, news sources... even though Buzzfeed's done all the hard journalistic legwork for them. In any case, I'm not surprised people are finding Cummings impossible, or nearly impossible, to work with. It doesn't bode well for the UK to have political advisors unable to give honest advice when it flies in the face of "the party line" - that's sort of the exact situation the US is facing now. Where career public servants are finding their work impossible to when their opinion formed over decades in the field flies in the face of what the populists want to push. I don't think BoJo is particularly ideologically principled. I think what he believes in most is whatever he believes gives him the most power. So if enough in the government find Cummings impossible to work with and bring those grievances to light... it might make Cummings' position as chief aide untenable. On the other hand, if BoJo doesn't feel like good and honest advice from public servants is going to be helpful in keeping his government in power... he's not going to give a fuck how aggrieved they are.

Do you mean Harry Maguire? I don't think he's as good as Virgil van Dijk... but I don't think there are many players out there who are that good at defending. Tbh, I think United need a new manager more than they need anything else. I think the style of football they play works well when they're playing sides who are better than them, or when they're up against a side that thinks "well this Man Utd isn't as good as Man Utd sides in the past, we can try to play expansive football against them." Solskjaer's tactically limited and he really only ever sets up United to be good at countering. But when he's faced with sides that aren't going to open up against United, United always struggle with the basics and then tend to play poorly and make mistakes which cost them. I honestly believe the current crop of Man Utd players looks a lot better all over the pitch with a more tactically adept manager. Yes, there's deadwood that needs to be sold and new players that need to be brought in... but I don't think United should look as bad as they have at their worst this season. And ultimately, I think that comes down to their manager and his lack of ideas.

La Liga should get rid of the mandatory release clause bollocks and the league should look to structure TV deals like the premier league where more clubs that aren’t the big 2 get a more proportionate slice of the pie

La Liga’s a fucking joke letting Barca sign a striker out of the transfer window because they’ve got an “emergency” meanwhile they’re signing a striker from Legannes, who’s their top scorer and top assisted while they’re in 19th place. Imagine being one of the richest clubs in Europe and having Messi and Griezmann yet successfully convincing your league you’ve got an emergency and need to make a vital signing. Meanwhile these relegation battlers will have a player taken from them and have no chance to get a replacement. It’s pathetic Barca even asked for an emergency signing. It’s shocking the league is letting them.

Last season did we sign anyone from a club who'd been relegated? That's sort of the Klopp special, taking a relegated player and getting some good use out of them. I can't see Norwich not going down... so I figure Cantwell could be that kind of player for us. One thing I like about him is that aside from having a lot of energy, he seemed to be popping up everywhere for Norwich. I think with Salah and Mane going away in January because of ACON next season, players like Minamino and Cantwell, who are versatile do make sense for us to add as squad players. There's obviously a massive drop off in quality though. And when you compare that kind of squad depth to something like what Manchester Cheatey have got at their disposal... it doesn't look all that great for us in January.

It's a hub for Delta (I think their headquarters is at an address at the airport tbh - much like how Southwest's got a big office at the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport. Because it's basically the primary Delta hub, that also makes it a primary hub for: Air France, Virgin Atlantic, Aeroflot, Aerolineas Argentinas, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Air France, Alitalia, China Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Czech Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Gol Transportes Aereos, Hawaiian Airlines, Kenya Airways, KLM, Korean Air, Seaborne Airlines, Transavia, Vietnam Airlines, Virgin Australia and West Jet. Aside from those big airlines - there's also the Delta Connect (or whatever it's called) range of brands that all pass through Atlanta as well. And then there's the airlines that pretty much go to almost every big airport in the country - Southwest, Frontier, etc... those all have routes to Atlanta. As a result, #2 on your list is absolutely true. And Atlanta is the biggest airport in terms of passenger traffic in the world.

Yeah that’s a bit misleading. He’s just made his text bigger and bold and trying to pass it off like a news headline with no source

Any proof it’s a parody account? Because it doesn’t look like anything other than a genuine idiot and if you search his name + parody... you don’t get any hits

Yeah I was probably being a bit hyperbolic in saying DCL is better just based on his improvement over the season. Pretty clear Richarlison’s really the main man with you, just got a bit carried away there

@RandoEFC I have to hold my hands up and say I was wrong over the summer about Calvert-Lewis. He’s improved a lot this season, I think he’s been better than Richarlison this season and if he does get called up to England soon, I wouldn’t think it’s as lol-able as I did in the summer. Tbf to me though, he has improved a lot this season and I don’t think many would have predicted that.

Gonna follow this account, you just know someone this stupid is going to be entertaining. and of course he’s from the fuckin midlands

Banned from the CL for 2 seasons! See ya Pep

I think Vardy said he's not going to unretire even if Kane's out. But otherwise, I think our sides are pretty similar. I think the big questions are: who plays as the most advanced midfielder in that central 3? And who plays next to Henderson (even though we've both said Winks)? But I think otherwise (and the striker situation, which I suppose we'll have a better idea of what we'll be seeing with England closer to the summer)… the rest of the side sort of picks itself.

Only if Kane and Rashford are fully fit. I think the last CL final is a good reason to make sure we're not rushing Kane back for a final. He was absolutely anonymous in that final. We can't have that happening in the group stages of this tournament or we'll go out pretty quickly I think. Brilliant player when he's fit, and I can understand why he wants to play the big games and be in tournaments, but for his sake (for his career's longevity) and for our sake (because seeing England do well is pretty cool) if he's not fully fit I don't think he should be starting. Likewise with Rashford, who might be a Manc… but I actually feel pretty bad for him for what he's had to go through this season. Going through much of the season as the real bright light of Man Utd's season, being asked to play with a back fracture... and then getting a double back fracture as a result. He's still young, let the kid heal. I think I'd go with something like this - but I don't know if I'd start Ings or Abraham up front, but I think Ings is better (but maybe not for this system), so I'm throwing him in here. Pickford TAA - Gomez - Maguire - Chilwell Henderson - Winks(?) -Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain Sancho - Ings - Sterling I think when everyone's healthy, the back 4 picks itself really. I went with the Ox in midfield because he's been in pretty decent form lately, meanwhile Maddison's dropped off a bit & Grealish I think should be in the squad most likely... but I'm not sure if he's ready to be starting for England. At Villa the side's built around him because he's their best player - England aren't going to do that for him just because he's Villa's best player. Sancho & Sterling, if healthy, are going to be the starters and rightly so. Ings in because he's having a good season.

Even runs like him

Ziyech is a great signing tbf

What about the second part where he says the virus needs to be quicker if it wants to catch him? Seems pretty racist tbh, to assume that because he's around an Asian guy (who might not even be Chinese for all we know) so he's potentially got the virus.

This story (it's behind a paywall, so you might not be able to get to it) is pretty interesting. It's the story of how for 50 years nations have been paying a Swiss crypto company to protect it's secrets. But it was in fact a CIA & German Intelligence agencies front & they were collecting national secrets from other countries & stealing their money. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-security/cia-crypto-encryption-machines-espionage/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most

Snow's alright for about 40 minutes and then after that the novelty wears off and I fucking hate it. So glad I haven't had to deal with that shite in a while.
