Like this. Of course in the States you probs have GM SUPER TOMATOES or something, maybe.

Yeah, this is rubbish. I am INCANDESCENT* that the US are gonna host a second World Cup before us. *ok probably more MILDLY IRKED, but still And why does it take three ginormous countries to host it? Ridiculous. They would preferably: 1) host it solely in Mexico. Hopefully the border wall...

Also, are Spain particularly renowned for disunity? I know these things don't necessarily come out but, while I do remember them under performing on the big stage (a while ago now, it must be said) I don't recall hearing of any major bust-ups, unlike some other nations eg France, the Netherlands.

I suppose I can sort of appreciate where that Guardian post is coming from - in the context of an intense rivalry between Real and Barca and given the delicate political situation in Spain, Lopetegui holding the Spain and Real positions pretty much concurrently could, I suppose, be seen a...

Picking up/purchasing cans of peeled plum tomatoes as opposed to plain old chopped tomatoes. Why do ALL manufacturers put them in the exact same packaging? It's maddening. So easy to pick up the wrong one when all that's different is a slightly different depiction of THE SAME RED FRUIT. I...

I gave my finger some much needed exercise in downloading the app... err, a few weeks ago. Not done anything since and probably won't for the foreseeable with the World Cup now on. DETERMINED (well insofar as a lazy sod like me is ever determined) to actually get off my arse and do it at some...

Yeah, it's not exactly very far removed from the design of the (superior imo) Colombia shirt either. In fact, we've ended up with three Adidas shirts in the semis which is somewhat excessive.

The Soccerballers XI are IN IT to WIN IT (even though they may not fully understand how this works)

Yes, very much so. Though the government's been promoting a delicious "cake and eat it" brexit ever since the referendum result (much like the Leave campaign did during the campaign) so one can't really blame them.

Unlikely, isn't it, though? You have to be a somewhat notably entity to actually inspire enmity.

The way St Hugh/Miranda/Juste has framed it makes it look bad, but it's not really. To begin with three of the post-66 WCs didn't even have a knockout stage; that it to say that if you reached the "knockout stage" in 74, 78 and 82 you were in the semi-finals. What is meant by a knockout stage...

Yes FC Romania!

I've never understood this insistence that everyone must go to matches and that if they don't they ought to be labelled "plastics" or some other pejorative. I actually think it's a bit shitty as top-level football can be exorbitantly expensive (esp if your club's London-based) and this sort of...

I think the answer is probably yes. Played a card game of Pointless recently when on holiday and it was good (although mostly, admittedly, because I kept winning #notsohumblebrag). Only downside was the lack of Osman so they should possibly consider including him in future editions.

Not really sure what the Irn-Bru cup is but sending Sutton and Boreham Wood to Scotland sounds a quite EXCELLENT IDEA If it can be made PERMANENT then that'd be EVEN BETTER

Yeah, think it was all progressing ok from what I could gather. Planning permission had been granted by the council and the Mayor of London had no objections. There was a slight hitch with a local family taking out an injunction but this was then effectively blocked by LBHF so no major hurdles I...

There were some grave failings in Rotherham, there's no doubt about it, but there seems to be a tendency to extrapolate and assume that the same failings have been repeated in other local authorities where the perpetrators happen to be from 'a particular ethno-religious background'. That's not a...

^ Yes. It's very interesting how, in these sort of cases, there's this insistence that the greatest problem is a culture of PC-motivated silence. That seems a serious accusation, serious enough that one ought to be able to substantiate it. So far as I'm aware, no one successfully has, and yet...

Yeah, I explicitly referred to the latter half of the season though. Jose wasn't comparable to Conte as the former was dismissed when the club were 16th (!) and one point above the relegation zone (!). In fact, it's probably quite instructive as to how bad Conte would have to have been to have...

hope they both lose tbh
