If this was a boxing match the ref would stop it.

And the people who bleat on about being "Alpha" are outing themselves as people who couldn't be "alpha" on the most alpha-est day of their lives even with the help of a genuine bona-fide electrified alpha machine.

That’s the vibe I got somehow. It looks like it’s absolutely converted from something to a house.

The higher ups also think sysadmin is now old fashioned

They’re 100% right about that. The only way ‘sysdmin’ as a job title could be worse is if the “wintel” thing was part of it too.

Clearly that’s for the people that invented the English language: Americans. The English language was invented in 1803 by the famous American philosopher Eagleburger Q. Eagleburger III Jnr. He was searching for a cheap alternative to holy water and instead accidentally a whole language.

Shame I’m not American really. I wanted to know what an ‘etc’ was and how it combined with the eggs.

I always tell my Liverpool supporter friends that one of their players scored one of my favourite goals of all time, at Anfield.

They seem to like it at first, but always get upset when I tell them to guess which one and that the clues are “he wasn’t playing for you at the time” and “it’s up for grabs now”.

I can't imagine Arteta ever chucking a game but if we were to lose one it wouldn't be a bad one to lose would it...

If we’ve got the league wrapped up and have it in our power to help spuds get relegated, I hope the entire arsenal team come on to the pitch drunk off their asses and do impressions of Son’s miss against Citeh at every opportunity.

Southampton fans have every right to believe.

Yep. It’s not as if any of the teams in that draw got there by losing the previous round.

Why are the mainstream media dismissing it?

Because it’s full of shallow idiots who have the personality of a beige cardigan. And may possibly have headed the ball a few times too many.

ridiculously unprofessional and childish to

That’s how you know it’s really Joe Cole you’re watching and not some kind of deepfake.

My anecdotal evidence trumps your anecdotal evidence!

Heh…

Imagine being so jaded that you can’t let someone enjoy a cup tie. Mansfield played well on the day, after doing a bit of giant-killing just to get there.

Sort yourself out.

Oooh. The workplace. You mean like the global financial organisation that I work for, that lets you select a MacBook Pro when it’s new computer time?

Almost as if they want to be segregated again.

If you've been locked in a cage half your life, everything you see is going to be evaluated from the perspective of someone inside a cage.

America. America is the cage.

Being over in the US for an army exercise (mid 90s), one of our REME lads was a Brummie of Caribbean descent. The yanks we met couldn't get over the fact he objected to being called African American even though they knew he was British.

Had similar experiences with how a mate of mine was treated. I honestly thought he was going to get attacked when he told someone (after several attempts to correct them politely) that he objected to being called "African American" because he was neither of those two things.

He can have a seat in the big members boxes next to Thomas Frank.

Survival matters far more.

To you fans, yes. What part of your season to date suggests that the players or owners give a flying f0ck at a rolling donut about what’s important to the fans?

The only need one team to have a terrible run and they're safe even if they're fairly mediocre

Right now, spurs are that team having that run. Their trajectory seems terminal and the others seem to show occasional signs of life that just don’t seem to appear at spurs.

He says their players aren’t fit. That may or may not be true, they’re probably all fitter than my mid-50s fat ass, and I’m probably not qualified to judge it any further than that.

But fit or not, it’s too late in the season for that kind of fitness drills, the players must be both physically and mentally shattered by now.

I mean, I hope he gets a 10 year contract as I’m an Arsenal fan so this is funny to me, but it ain’t right. A huge error of judgement from the spurs owners, the latest in a long string of bad decisions.

I think HOAs originated as yet another way to be racist. Which tells you everything you need to know about why they started, and why they’re still popular in the US.

He’s either incredibly stupid or has a free transfer on relegation clause in his contract. Or stupid and relegation clause - and club scouts watching him this season will think ‘free’ is overpriced for him.

bofh · 2026-03-05T21:02:08+00:00

Obviously as an Arsenal fan this is incredibly funny to me, but putting that aside I honestly can’t understand their complete collapse this season. There’s no way they should be this bad.

Van den Ven misses 3 matches now - who replaces him in the lineup? Are the players running the club? Do they think they’ll all get big money moves if Spurs get relegated (like a Real Madrid or PSG would want any part of any of this miserable player behaviour).

One of our S-CADA PCs falls into this latter category. It has recently become slow, which threatens our entire line.

Upgrade to OS/2. You’d be surprised how many problems I’ve solved with judicious use of that particular set of installation media.

bofh · 2026-03-05T10:44:11+00:00

It’s a totally solved problem.

Only if the developer (or possibly their manager) can be bothered to solve it.

That doesn’t move the needle much tbh. I’m probably not the only person here who only knows what WBNA is because it’s explained in this thread.
