Can’t wait for Paddy Power to liquidate.

Think it’s fine. I’m sure the minimum capacity required is 4,000 and 500 seats and they have a capacity of 4,313 and 1,000 seats.

Yep, get it on my phone too, which is awkward on a packed Tube train.

Genuinely think people despise Wigan as a club and Warrington’s fanbase. Throwing coins at the Grand Final the latest misdemeanour.

To attempt to take them up the leagues. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/sport/no-helmets-required/2019/jan/15/toronto-wolfpack-buying-rugby-league-club-london-skolars

Their promotion has meant that they’re building, what I think is, a temporary stand, extending the capacity. I reckon games against the well supported sides (Leeds, Wigan, Warrington, Hull, St Helens) will be pretty busy as most haven’t played London for a few years and people will fancy it. Sadly, I think this is Warrington’s year. I can see Blake Austin dominating in Super League if he settles, he’s making the right noises so far but let’s see how he gets on in games. Jason Clark from the Rabbitohs is a hell of a signing too. Leeds will be improved and I fancy them for the cup. Tui Lolohea looks like he’ll standout in Super League and Konrad Hurrell should dominate the edges but he’s struggled with fitness in the past. Wigan are always there or thereabouts, sadly. They’ve not really recruited much this year, Zak Hardaker on his final chance in the sport is their key signing and if he shows the form he showed in 2017, they’ll be at the right end of the table come October. Really not sure about us (Saints). We’ve lost Ben Barba who lost form through injury, homesickness and the death of his grandmother at the back end of last year and have recruited three overseas players in Lachlan Coote, Kevin Naiqama and Joseph Paulo, so there’s a lot more depth than we’ve had before and we looked leggy and tired by August, so that’s an improvement but we seem to have a psychological breakdown come playing in a semi-final. In other news, I’ve won a free season ticket for League One side London Skolars, who’ve just been bought by the bloke that owns Toronto Wolfpack.

Harvey Barnes has been recalled. He’s got to walk straight into that team, surely?

Everton want to win cups and leagues? Don’t every team?

Anyone been to Ljubljana?

Nah, that’s acceptable. If you’re a lol after a Facebook post kind of person then you’re definitely a raging paedophile, I’m afraid.

Unpopular opinion, but John and his copy and paste posts are shite.

Watching YOU on Netflix. Very good so far. Currently six or seven deep into this and very good stuff thus far.

Martin Allen has been sacked by Chesterfield, with the Spireites in the bottom four of the National League and potentially on course for a third successive relegation.

Girlfriends grandad is pissed off two bottles of Bud and it’s not even 4pm. Merry Christmas everyone.

Can’t say that I’m a huge fan of Marco Silva, purely for his teams’ inability to defend and his inability to disable other teams’ attacking threat. I know Watford and Hull are perceived “lesser” clubs than Everton and the expectations and players at his disposal are of a lower level than those he has now at Everton but it’s becoming a habit of his sides to be conceding goals. His Hull side shipped goals, 36 in 22 games, including thirteen in his final three games. His Watford side shipped 44 in 20 Premier League games, including some hammerings. Everton have conceded 28 thus far, with eight clean sheets.

Just gave the first episode of Friday Night Dinner a go. What the fucking fuck is that all about? The Dad doesn’t understand a high five? And the neighbour? Canned it. 1/10.

That Frank is going on Monday. You’ve heard it here first. He’s a cabbage like that Dutch fella was.

Hate snow, just a bit of a bastard isn’t it? It’s cold, you end up waddling around like you’ve shit yourself and the ice is a bastard to walk and drive on.

What career are you after now then?

Personally never a fan of the £25 bets when people were using it on stuff like Man City to win the league. Should just be purely on games through the week. And I’d rather it was kept Football only in all honesty. Could do a general one and a football one I suppose if there was demand.

WWE for grownups.

I think people need to realise that we only see small clips of “incidents” these days on social media and people jump to take a side very quickly, decrying one party. I’m not saying it’s the case here but we’ve seen a very small clip here and there could be a lot more that went on prior to this clip being recorded. The Jamie Carragher incident earlier this year summed it up. We saw a thirty second clip of Carragher losing it and spitting in the general direction. We saw a thirty second video that probably didn’t show the full incident. As I said, I’m not saying this is the case with this Syrian lad but I’m certainly not going to be jumping to pick sides just yet.

Weirdly, Waltham Abbey are in that league. Which makes no sense as most sides are from West London.

Had a feeling they’d moved but I wasn’t completely sure. I presume that’s them for years now they’ve been kicked out of Kingsmeadow, I can’t seem them having a proper home ground again for a long time.
