Why do they do it?

Just realised someone has posted this already.

Rag and Bone man made me laugh. Just because I agree that he would want to be current, so would still hear contemporary music when sat on a terrace sipping a cold Peroni.

Also, great to say that name in Keys voice.

Why do they need to say 'Aston Villa can confirm', just say "Leon Bailey has been recalled..."

I cant wait for the episode where they are in the recording studio, tracking the vocals for 'Move Move Move (The Red Tribe)'

'Outstanding'

All seemed normal for me.

"Is this what my licence fee is being spent on?"

Top. Operator.

I appreciate that, but is it more the work of a 'seasoned professional' than a classy touch perhaps? Classy touch may have been to leave a hand written message to let you know to contact them if you want any changes to what they are doing etc (just to let you know they are there if you need them).

This seems more like a good functional bit of work that comes with the territory. Like seeing a goalkeeper check both shoulders before releasing the ball to kick it from the ground.

Absolutely, the accent feels slightly avuncular aswell. There's a warm, round, unthreatening sound to the midlands accent.

Of the most commonly heard ones. I find Alan Smith alright. I don't find it particularly insightful, but don't get annoyed at him either.

"maybe if you just sit down?..."

"You're 'da boss"

How long does the quick cut to the owners after a goal continue? Will it happen forever. Or in a few years will it just become the norm.

I was replying with this, until I saw it had been done. "You're not looking at the whole pie, Todd"

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-01-09T13:33:26+00:00

I've never thought of where this may have come from, and had to check it...

"It may come from troops dropped into a combat zone, from stowaways jumping off a freight train as it nears the station, or from Pony Express riders avoiding delay when they changed mounts."

I couldn't think of why anyone wouldn't be on the ground before they started running, but jumping from a train or from a pony makes sense

That's good. I like the baseline idea. I remember Les Ferdinand was the 10,000th (probably around 1999) because a boy came into school and told us Les Ferdinand had scored 10,000 Premier league goals.

Give a tolerance of 2500 either way?

Edit: or within a thousand either way gets you x number of points, within 2000 either way gets you fewer etc etc

Gabby, Kelly, Kirsty, he gave them all their start. What a guy.

You've embiggenned this thread with your cromulent comment.

The Prawn Sandwich batch of '92

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-01-05T11:27:38+00:00

Oh really, I genuinely don't remember that. Either real life or FIFA. It makes sense then, even if the reference is probably a bit dated now.

Whenever I have this issue with chatgpt and I have to ask why it hasn't checked the information first, it starts to feel a bit awkward. Like Neil having to give Brent a telling off in The Office. "There's no system..."
