Don't worry. You'll twat us on Friday with ease.

After losing to Arsenal and drawing to you in injury time, as well as losing 2-1 to Man City, I think any bet against Luton at Kenilworth Road is a little risky.

That reminds me that I need to get back on track with Ted Lasso. Watched all the first season but only watched the first episode or two of the second season.

Big question is did you put a bet on it?

Mainly getting together with my folks in all honesty, with the 28th being a key date as it was when my brother passed away, so supporting the family on that day. Never celebrated it for religious reasons as, intended in a good way, I'm not overly fussed on religion in general. I'll have a few drinks as well, but not for a piss up or anything else like that.

The way we've been playing, I think we might lose this. We've struggled recently and have looked very poor in our most recent games, almost like last season in a way. We need the January window for extra players (apparently Moore is more or less a done deal, but best to wait until it's signed on the dotted line).

I can't remember the model, but 6 and 9 look the closest.

I bought games from Steam. I've not touched them. That's my Steam Year review.

No worries @Rab. Cheers for the response.

Why would you loan him out though? Seems a very odd rumour.

@Rab, looks to be something wrong when clicking the 'Love Batard' link (to which he currently doesn't get love). On Chrome (mobile), clicking it provides a link for a 'download' instead of taking you back to the homepage, though tested this on the Samsung browser and everything appears to be fine. Seems to be intermittent as it did work fine earlier. Simple workaround is to click the back button when in each sub topic rather than the 'Love Batard' link. A bit tedious, but not the end of the world. Only a minor thing, but just wanted to flag it up with you.

Who changed the forum name?

So........Sega have just made.me.wet myself. https://www.eurogamer.net/sega-announces-flurry-of-projects-including-jet-set-radio-crazy-taxi Think I'll be keeping an eye on all of these methinks.

Some Palestinians have been detained by Israeli forces and stripped, with one Palestinian journalist amongst them. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67659296

The main three are being televised as expected and I can see why Boro vs. Villa was chosen. The other two however.............meh. It's something to watch I guess.

The beginning of the end for Codemasters. https://www.eurogamer.net/ea-confirms-layoffs-at-f1-developer-codemasters Pretty sure I mentioned on here when they were first brought that EA were going to fuck them and the games they made, and eventually put a bullet in their head. This is just backing that up.

Shit, that's rough. Sorry to hear about that.

Cardiff does, yes. Had a little wander around last week and it was pretty decent in fairness. Looking to buy a currywurst from the German sausage place this weekend.

Seems a bit of a harsh one here. I know they've had a little dip in form, but they're not exactly struggling and are only three points off the play offs at present.

Another random one I remember was a Sunderland bint who was laughing at one of the Newcastle lads (Kev I think) because he was working in Greggs at the time. With the picture she had and refusing to say what she did, everyone just ripped into her saying her job was regularly opening her legs.

That I do vaguely remember, though the the next two...... I don't.

I know they're repeated, but the ones I generally remember were: 1. Scoutgate. 2. Pornea threatening to go up to Newcastle to beat the shit out of one of the Newcastle lads. 3. Swifty and his love affair with 'Deadlinebooby'. 4. One of the Chelsea lads saying you could easily get to Chrlsea by walking, despite living quite a bit north of there (I think). 5. That Scottish lad who always had a chip on his shoulder saying that Balotelli was better than Taarabt because 'Balotelli scored more goals in the Euros'. 6. The Everton fan who said Nikica Jelavic was better than Luis Suarez because he had a better goals to games ratio.

Yeah true. Not sure how many ties are shown, but could see Peterborough vs. Leeds and maybe the Man City and Chelsea games at a push. Nothing else really stands out.

Well that's shit. I said it was going to be a disappointment. Sunderland vs. Newcastle stands out for me so far, as well as Arsenal vs. Liverpool.
