Ours has a 44 year old hairline.

Yeah, I appreciate the irony of a fan moaning about a team who have (currently) only gone one season without a trophy.

Probably not as hard to watch as the game I’m watching.

Edit:

City are preparing for the 2nd leg though.

If it’s not bad enough I’m watching on a laptop as my MiL is staying and I’m not drinking as my BiL is staying.

…and my headphones keep turning off noise cancellation and Kirsty & Phil are on the telly.

Other than that all’s going well though.

Tom is harder than a cross peen hammer.

…but a soft boy with me.

Ha ha…apart from the fact Tom is a big unit who only ever runs into the house if it rains.

He’s a fighter like Tyson Fury though.

Another dog has found out the folly of sniffing my cats bowl.

Current list of last 12 months Canine Conquests:

Bedlington Terrier (crying continually)
Irish Setter (pissed himself)
Collie mix (cowers constantly)
Pointer/doberman mix (full on chase)
Full mongrel (hides under table)

I’ve just seen the goals from the Spurs and Liverpool games.

We need to see both Kinsky and Konate on the pitch when they meet on Sunday.

I went to Costco for the first time yesterday and they had Cheese & Caramel popcorn.

Obviously they won’t be monitoring my account but I’m not aiming for a pile on.

The little I own is quality and if I wasn’t between sizes on their planet earth shirts I’d have some of them (at their regular archive sale prices).

I do love a lot of Vollebak and accept certain materials are costly but even if I had the kind of money to pay £6k on a down jacket I’d more than struggle to justify it.

You’d think so but apparently it’s been rereleased and brewed in Bavaria now.

That new Hofmeister ad campaign is so close but so far off being half decent.

Ignoring the fact it’s always been a shit UK lager they had a good idea but just can’t execute it.

Personally, I’d last longer with the bloke with the beard.

Will the dog agility courses fill up now like tennis courts do when Wimbledon is on?

I’d take him out daily if I trained with Chelsea.

You can argue whether it should be a red or not but you can’t blame the player for taking Ganache out.

I almost but just almost want to apologise.

It’s easy to see where the problem is with this Chelsea midfield.

The Flaw is Lavia.

This is her impression of a City left back from a few years ago.

Yes, she has her Collar Off.

I’ve not gone down yet.

Waiting for my wife to leave so we (me, dog and cat) have some quiet.

Are Mansfield coming back in this game or should I have a nap?
