Great start froM Vettel, taking the lead through the first corner. 

one of the worst things I've seen in the sport. Terrible stuff overdoing it like that.

He didn't blame the wind and the rain, he said the circumstances were difficult but that is not an excuse.  Huddersfield just wanted it more.

I thought he was open and honest in defeat  even humble.  Probably in shock like the rest of us.

for all the stick he gets most of the time (including from me), I agree with this. The bit I saw on Soccer Saturday showed to me he said what was needed to be said - Huddersfield were the better team on the day and not only that, he said his team didn't even deserve to draw and Huddersfield were more hungry for the win and had more desire.

Where is @Teso dos Bichos ?

trying to worm his way out of the L tonight.

Even Jose said the best team won. Wonder if Teso can bring himself to admit it too.

It's always a laugh listening to people like that. They spend half the time saying Manchester United are great and Liverpool are rubbish and the other half saying they have to play defensively at Anfield otherwise they'd get battered. It's an incredibly stupid argument, but it isn't new; we heard the same sorts of things after United played exactly the same game at Anfield last season.

To his credit, Neil Custis (whoever he is) did offer a new piece of stupidity by completely misdefining 'parking the bus' and then arguing that that's not what Mourinho did 

obviously when Mourinho does it, it's tactical genius. When other teams do it, it's not fair and against the spirit of the game!

Fellas and ladies, need some suggestions. 

Lost a bit of interest in playing Fifa lately, think I need a proper little challenge for my career mode so I am open to suggestions to who to start a manager career with. 

Want to be able to stay at this club for 5 years, build it up to a respectable level before moving onto a bigger team. 

Was thinking about Werder Bremen, so that gives you an idea of the stature of club I'm wanting. 

Southampton, Lazio, Marseille, Athletic Bilbao, Hoffenheim?

Everton  

Shay Given is a legend and was one of my favourite goalkeepers to watch when growing up. Always impressed me with his style and ability. Shame to hear how he was treated.

An "unusual" reddish sky and red-looking sun have been reported across many parts of England.

The phenomenon was initially seen in the west of England and Wales before spreading to other areas.

BBC weather presenter Simon King said it was due to the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia dragging in tropical air and dust from the Sahara.

He added that debris from forest fires in Portugal and Spain was also playing a part.

Same here. Looked weird as fuck but is sunny here now.

Forgot to ask earlier, any particular reason for visiting Snowdonia or was it just sightseeing?

you affected by the hurricane (yet)?

About 5-6 of us wanted a trip away a few months ago for a long weekend with a bit of adventure. This came up as an idea and seemed quite reasonable (didn't want to go abroad, mind). A couple dropped out a few days before so ended up just being 4 of us.

I think its from the tale end of Hurricane Ermintrude or whatever they are calling it... the one that's sweeping through Ireland 

Nice and warm out.. feels like the tropics.. 

Ophelia  !

I've also heard it's from forest fire dust/smoke in Portugal/Spain. 

sky is weird and reddish/yellow today. pretty cool at same time. 

oh and it was nice to bump in to @Bluebird Hewitt during the holiday!

he must have got scared when he got clocked though...

back home after a long weekend in the heartland of Snowdonia National Park, staying in a village called Dolwyddelan. 

Climbing up Mount Snowdon brought out an adventurous side in me that I didn't know I would love. Despite the cold, wet and windy conditions and the torrential rain and thick fog at the top, felt an immense sense of achievement at climbing such a mountain despite never having any climbing experience before. 

The scenery and imagery is fantastic throughout. I would post pictures at the summit but the fog was so thick I could barely see my own friends let alone anything up there. And the cafe was shut which was pretty shit!

Here are some pictures from the last 48 hours

I thought you weren't allowed pork?

 

On a serious note, I had a double down the other day and it was lovely. The only problem is, you don't get much with a "meal", so you need to buy a few pieces of chicken. They are nice though, but what I don't get is why they advertise them with just cheese or bacon and cheese together but not bacon only? Obviously they will give you one without cheese if you ask, but why not advertise it that way?

KFC's service is slow as fuck while on the subject. If there are more than 2 people in the queue then you will be in there for about 3 hours. They take the piss.

had it on the way back from Wales today and it was decent. Bit messy to eat, mind. Tasty, for sure. 

If anyone plans on driving to Wales either to or near Mount Snowdon or the national park in general, here's one tip... 

DO NOT DRIVE HERE WHEN IT GETS DARK! 

Now, I love driving and don't mind it in the dark but this was the most dangerous road I've been on (the a5). Torrential rain, bendy and narrow roads, windy conditions do not make for a pleasant drive. Let alone it being pitch black and most of the road having no street lighting. What's more daunting is the fact you're on a road in the dark and either side of you is pure darkness as well as its just mountainous and no sign of life. Makes it quite eerie! 

On the way to Wales for a weekend away in Snowdonia with a few mates from work.

Driving there and so much traffic on m1 and m6 doing my head in. Thankfully stopped off and just demolished a KFC. Fucking service station has ran out of bacon so can't have the double down. 

Had a great day today. Got my TV on at full blast right now loving life. Hope the neighbours are okay with it!
