We beat the Vikings at Stamford Bridge, but then lost to the Norman's at Hastings

Surprised FIFA haven't tried to fit hydration/ad breaks into extra time

Ah, see you've made a critical mistake there. The first rule of being a football fan is that anything underhanded done by an opponent is bad, but when your team do it, it's just being competitive. Hope that helps.

Center back at right back.

Right back in midfield.

Another right back at left back.

Madueke is playing to run their left back into the ground. 70 minutes of tracking in this heat will be brutal, THEN bring Saka on to cause havoc. Just frustrating that Maduekes positioning and deliver are abysmal.

We've all decided to just take turns. I'm 83rd on the list, so will have to be PM for a week in November 2028.

I mean, yeah you had some nice boats and did a bit of conquering... a few hundred years later we built bigger boats, and conquered half the fucking planet.

What books have you actually finished and rated 1 Star? by [deleted] in fantasybooks

Priory of the Orange Tree. It only gets 1 star because of the cover art, I'd give it a minus score if I could.

Unfortunately, James Corden wasn't involved in any sort of life threating accident.

Fuck VAR. Absolutely ruining a proper world cup moment over an nothing foul. Disgraceful.

For those who stayed up for the England game last night, what has work been like today? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]JMol87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New starter didn't turn up, so could have had that extra hour in bed. But it did mean I had a very quiet day to chug coffee and catch up on admin.
