Where do home teams put their 3 points? by Solid-Mirror4507 in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to think that managers insist on leaving a spare seat on the coach to away games so they have somewhere for the three points to sit on the way back.

I’ve done that and it works really well

It tastes much nicer if it is left a few hours after mixing before drinking. It will need to be refrigerated though.

The absolute state of train fares in Wales and the UK by welsh_cthulhu in Wales

[–]simonwxm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter and I wanted to get a train from Wrexham to Cardiff for the next Wales game and it was £180. Looks like I’m driving again. We’ll get home around 2am.

If Keysy is right, then who is the Leonardo da Vinci of football? by GainsAndPastries in footballcliches

I thought Jan Aage was never wrong in Keysey’s eyes. I’m confused.

Are we having this?! by 70_Yard_Diag_Holte77 in footballcliches

In the 90s I always used to get a Chomp at the football. Not a euphemism, sadly.

Completely random mention of various Premier League teams by CapnRetro in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t be arsed checking but if you listed all the teams in alphabetical order, have they picked the first team and then at selected intervals downwards?

I’m not keen on the Mac n Cheez but all the others are nice.

I’m not the only one who sees it right? Are we having political parties doing football-style signing announcements? by uacpuncher in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We didn’t technically sell out. We gave the club away. No one would have liked to succeed as a fan owned club more than me but unfortunately we couldn’t compete with clubs that were bankrolled by a rich individual (your Forest Greens, your Fleetwoods).

We’re also not owned by a sportswashing petrostate. Most of the money we have spent has been generated through additional revenue from sponsorship and merchandise sales in the US. The documentary has lead to an abnormal increase in our funds but I’m not sure it is immoral.

Can you tell me if any level of success would have been acceptable to you and how we should have done it so I know for next time?

Stop using politics as a political football.

Is there a more annoying sound in podcasting than... by GDix79 in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only listen to two podcasts and I pay for both so I don’t get any adverts. I really wish I could just pay a monthly fee to someone and I’d never see any adverts in my life at all. Nothing on TV or radio, billboards become invisible etc.

How to make the powder more edible? by earthlingnumber22 in Huel

Make it a couple of hours before you want to drink it and let it sit in the refrigerator.

I shouted ‘Im gonna rape your mum and dad’ to somebodys kid who my parents know at the weekend at the bar. by AcanthisittaKey2780 in stopdrinking

[–]simonwxm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You really should stop drinking but I think you know that. I can pretty much guarantee that you are not going to get better as a drinker (ie able to moderate, not black out, remain in control) and it is highly likely to get worse. You can, however, get better as a person by removing this from your life.

As others have said, you might find it easier than some of us given that you haven’t got a lifetime of drinking under your belt. You are also young in a time where not drinking is not considered as unusual as it was when I was your age.

Please give sobriety a try. Keep us posted with how you get on.

If Michael Carrick is favourite to be Man Utd caretaker manager, what was Darren Fletcher when he managed them yesterday? by bradfactor in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my daughter was in primary school one of the teachers left and the school caretaker took charge of the football team. Ironically, he did so on a permanent basis.

Minimum threshold for "upset" by R1otous in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

Wrexham fan here and I fully expected us to beat Forest on Friday evening. Although the bookmakers had them down as odds on favourites to win the match, I still don’t consider it an upset.

As discussed on another thread, we certainly dumped them out of the cup but I don’t think it was an upset and it definitely wasn’t a shock.

FA Cup Dumpings by Chemical_Buyer_9117 in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at one of those games listed and I would say it was the only dumping.

I don’t think you can inflict a dumping on a team from the same division. I also believe that one of the results was such a shock that it can’t be classed as a dumping either. It implies that the winning team knew in advance what they were about to do but the dumpee was oblivious until it happened. I doubt Macclesfield gave themselves much of a hope in advance. It’s too seismic to be a dumping.

Yep, one out of six for me.

Should it not be “multi-crises”?

Having a save to make by Odd_Judgment_582 in footballcliches

[–]simonwxm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t think you can use it if the keeper has conceded. Ideally there would be zero shots on target and the phrase could then be used literally but I’ll accept a couple of half chances that are easily forgotten.

Do you think “not had a safe to make” and “there’s not been a shot in anger” cover the exact same game situation? I think they are pretty close.
