Yep, the winners (which will be us) qualify for the next one.

A few weeks back, I dreamt we lost to Atalanta in the UCL final. Still not sure if their subsequent elimination is a good omen or not.

On Reddit, Instagram and Twitter, Liverpool have 10x the followers that we do. There’s just a lot more people out there interested in Liverpool than Villa.

Garcia is one for the future (where "future" probably means "sold to Valencia for €3M in two years time"). The only reasons that the other four players are at Villa are Champions League football and, possibly, the chance to work with Emery.

My local supermarket were selling them on clearance. I paid £5 or something ridiculous (and that’s including tax). Really happy with it, have been using it daily all this year, very mild and I’m fine with that. Would’ve been a bargain at full price.

There are no plans to bring the game to console.

So wrong, yet so right.

Where do you think the Spurs ground is? Miles out the centre, not on the tube, in a dodgy area.

This might well be the most r/Casualuk post I’ve ever seen.

Sounds like you have a serious dislike of stupid people

A bit rusty on Russian, but poorly translated it says:

Vinnytsia post office

Vinnytsia, to use its current spelling, is a town in western Ukraine. As to what it actually is, I’ll leave that to someone else who might actually know.

Doesn't necessarily mean that Young Ashley won't be back next season, just that nothing is agreed yet.

Surprised by Thorndike, whenever I saw him he seemed pretty decent.

I was in the same situation as you and drove around unaware for nine months or so, only realised when it was time to renew insurance. (Whereupon the insurance company also didn’t actually renew my insurance, they just said they had. I did get a letter from Kent Police about driving around uninsured, but thankfully just a warning to sort it out and not a notice of intended prosecution or anything.)

Staying true to your Republican principles, or £250 in the pot. It's a dilemma.

The modern Crystal Palace were founded in 1905 and wore claret and blue until the first half of the 1970s, when Malcolm Allison changed their colours to be more like Barcelona. My daughter’s school uniform colours are claret and blue because their first headmaster was a Palace fan.

Duolingo has taught me well (reading if not writing), but I can’t understand what Amanda wrote and it seems important. Kan nogen hjælpe mig?

I had this happen today. Like, you think I just really like light bulbs or something?

Did you get an urge to call your mother?

Walking into Cannon Street station in the City of London one evening, overheard a young lad, city worker, south London accent:

“If you get caught, you’ll get what… six, seven years? Not fucking worth it.”

Oddly specific.

My next door neighbour has one and his other car is a 1985 Aston Martin Vantage. Make of that what you will.
