( New Jersey at the moment).. they just seem to spend most of the time shouting at each other!! Same here although I'm reliably informed it's just MAFS to those who follow it. Last year was all about Harrison who was gaslighting Brontë. It was all she could talk about. Allegedly the Aussie version is "sooooooo much better". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 We watch it together. I love Repair Shop, probably because I like watching skilled workers making or repairing things. She watches it with me as I watch her programs with her. I am not complaining about her choices.. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Just a comment on the "Media" (to show I can keep on topic) 😂 Without any shame the media has created a dialogue that holds poor Everton overly punished and unlucky to get such a punishment as opposed to the Dastardly Dou of Citeh and Chelsea who are allowed to go unpunished as yet for destroying the clean as a whistle Professional game world wide. The fact that Everton as a business is guilty as charged seems to be irrelevant even after being warned during the process of charging the club. A sensible debate can be had regarding the extent of the punishment but certainly not the verdict. Hard to believe huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means I come in mid-way through the episode and get all of the self-indulgent blow ups and then the greetings card philosophy at the end. On a more positive note, i've been watching a series called State of Play on BritBox last two nights - it's very good!

boratsbrother Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 In some quarters Chelsea fans are still tarnished by the nasty hooligan reputation we gained during the bad old days. But come on here and those critics of our fanbase will in fact see that we are a lot of pussy- whipped guys who'll put up with anything for a quiet life.🤪 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Anyone else think the FA and PL have managed to open up their own can of worms with the Everton points deduction? I think, if you look hard enough, the majority of PL teams will have broken a rule somewhere along the lines related to transfers/finances.

Some of the tales around Portsmouth when Peter Storey was Chairman and a certain East-End originating Manager was in charge would make toes curl. These two were at it the whole time they were together, hope that the truth starts to come out and the cheeky chappie characterisation that one these two enjoys is well and truly buried. They made millions each whilst honest businesses went bust through debts owed by Portsmouth when they ended up in liquidation. They had Sky Andrew (Agent of Defoe at the time) and The Times hack who’s researched the story in White and Jordan’s show in Talksport this morning. Unlicensed Agents used to filter money out of the deal, Defoe allegedly breaking his contract with Andrew’s. Had to stop listening just as Jordan and Andrew’s had a row (damn work getting in the way again). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the chap, mistake with my spelling of the surname. If memory serves me correctly, played for the Gooners. As straight as a circle, only plus side for the Addics is that there’s not too much money for him to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DM'd something John Hollins once told me about the Portsmouth situation to I think @Mark Kelly on the old forum. I will share privately if you'd like me to. Publicly i'll only say that if even a fraction of what he said was accurate, it's deeply concerning. @ Mods - no intention of getting the site in any trouble, so feel free to silence me here if you deem fit. 12 hours ago, Dwmh said: No none of Boardwalk Empire.

My local side too. Him there with Charlie Methven (of Sunderland Til I Die infamy) in the boardoom. Have Charlton gone out of the frying pan into the fire? Charlton has been a proper mess for a while though, so who knows what is next there tbh.
