Reply | So they want to defund the BBC
at 10:22 17 Jan 2022
In my first year in Spain I was asked to give English classes to a young lad, he was tetraplegic and out of his mind with boredom. With nothing to do he learnt English by listening to the BBC World Service. His pronunciation was brilliant and he could chat about any topic you chose. It was very humbling.
His previous teacher was Scottish and the mother always put out a large tumbler of whisky for him, she did the same for me. I'd like to think he now has a slurred Suffolk accent to replace his fine BBC pronunciation. |

What is Penney capable of? Consistently our worst performing player, I don't remember him showing anything to suggest he's a more than a below average third division squad member. Maybe unfair to single him out today but I don't recall him ever having contributed anything of note. |

Yep, we're playing ok. Their playing out from the back looks vulnerable. |

I've always considered that tie as a bit of a watershed, the beginning of the end kind of thing. Up to then you just felt we were going to win against whoever we were playing. Shortly afterwards with Sir Bobby and key players leaving the writing was on the wall but that feels like a real turning point. |

They were woeful first half, Varane having a mare and their passing is all over the place. Can't believe they can be that bad after the break. |

4 minutes into the match on Spanish TV and the commentators mentioned the stat. Fortunately the pronunciation of Ipswich Town probably means nobody here knew it was our record.
Cracking finish there as I'm typing. |

That would make sense but would infringe on the autonomy of the autonomous regions, apparently. What complicates the situation is that any restrictions will be challenged in each autonomous region so in the end it's the courts that decide on lockdown measures. If a region decides to do nothing, there's no judicial interference.
It's a mess. |

In Spain the restrictions are down to each autonomous region. This in theory would allow the worst hit areas to introduce stricter measures. What happens in reality is purely political.
From Thursday Catalunya will impose a night time curfew, bars and restaurants limited to 50% inside, nightclubs and pubs closed, civil servants wfh, maximum 10 people meeting up inside. Madrid has no plans to impose any new measures. Both have similar infection rates but one is not Spain and one is run by a right wing "libertarian". |

I posted about it a couple of days ago, glad you're enjoying it.
Am currently half way through series 2, it doesn't change much, still quirky daft with the occasional laugh out loud moment. |

Didn't know there was going to be more, look forward to it. Definitely in my Top 5 series of all time. Thanks for the heads up. |

Penney was playing as a wing back, his job was to get up and down. I don't think he defended well and offered little in attack. Wasn't dreadful but nearly gave them a second when Walton saved well.
KVY created a lot more in 20 minutes but wasn't really tested defensively, think he should continue there. Just don't think Penney adds anything to the team
Not sure what the myth is about to be honest. |

Got the feeling Burns ran out of a bit of steam (understandably) in the second half and we had no threat on the left until KVY came on. Draw just about fair but we could have nicked it at the end if we had a bit more composure. |
