What does everyone have on the go at the moment?

We've just had a new gravel driveway put in with a gate added at the front of the house to keep the dog and kids from escaping. We're really happy with how it looks and it's stopped our garage flooding which is a big bonus! Also had the patio in the garden done at the same time as the old one was there before we moved in and had been a proper bodge job.

Next on the list is going into the loft space of our bungalow. In the planning permission stage at the moment. We'd like to put one big bedroom, one small double and a bathroom up there. Has anyone done similar? Looking to have two dormers put on. Fully detached and easy access all round.

Jack Clarke is class
at 09:52 1 Oct 2024

I thought he was excellent on Sunday.

His ball retention was very good and his movement allows Davis to get into good positions. Those two down the left really looked the business. The only downside being that he looked a little lightweight, but that was in a footrace against Konsa who is a bit of a genetic freak.

Good assist for Delap who is another developing really well.

We've really built a team that has some more gears to find which is very exciting to see.

Favourite non-boozy drink
at 21:44 17 Aug 2024

Pre sugar tax Irn Bru was a favourite of mine.

At the moment it's probably a Dr Pepper (both sugar and no sugar). Hits my taste buds the right way.

I drink lots of water on its own too as I don't drink tea or coffee. My sister in law has one of those Brita water filters in her fridge and it's lovely and refreshing.

What are you reading in July?
at 11:05 2 Jul 2024

Currently reading Blood Rites by Jim Butcher (book 6 in the Dresden Files books). It's a bit like the TV series Angel (Buffy spinoff). Good fun.

Also reading Cujo by Stephen King. Giant St Bernard gets rabies and the chaos that follows. Halfway through and it's been excellent and really ramps up the tension.

Quietly been working my way through CJ Box's Joe Pickett series. Love them!

Small Ipswich mention, but he knew straight away that the players weren’t good enough for the Championship. States that Ipswich are a brilliant club.

He was a plonker, but he got given a rough hand for us and never recovered from it.

How far we’ve come.

What are we reading in May?
at 08:46 8 May 2024

Sorry, missed the April one as had lots on with getting married and all that jazz !

I'm currently reading Roadwork by Richard Bachman (Stephen King pseudonym). I wouldn't say I'm enjoying it as much as some of King's other works, but it feels very real, possible and still relevant.

I've also been reading through Trophy Hunt, book 4 of the Joe Pickett series by CJ Box. These are about a game warden and his family during a changing political and socioeconomic climate in a small rural town. Good mystery novels in a cool setting.

Also started Michael Connolly's Harry Bosch series and have read the first two books. Really enjoyed both.

Hoping to start the final entry of Wheel of Time, Memory of Light, by Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson, later this month too.

My aim this year is to read 30 books. I'm currently on 14 so on target!

Messi in the MLS
at 13:31 7 May 2024

He's making the game look easy again.

He broke two MLS records in the game just gone:

Most assists in a single MLS game (5)
Most goal contributions in a single MLS game (6)

Best player I've seen in my lifetime.

Imagine him behind George Hirst...

I've lost track of how many times he's won possession back. He must be horrible to play against haha.

A point in a tough away game
at 22:24 27 Apr 2024

Zoom out a little. We’re on 90 points in the Championship with two games to play.

Hull was going to be the toughest game with them chasing playoffs. We created a lot of good chances in the second half. The goals we conceded were all poor though. I would put the first down to Hladky not playing Morsy a kind ball, the second Luongo doesn’t track and the third was just bad defending and goalkeeping. Perhaps the wake up call that was needed for the following games ahead, but still, an away point in the toughest game on paper.

Coventry should be knackered.

Huddersfield are all but down.

Southampton will want to get back to winning ways.

Leeds confidence will be low.

Loads to be positive about going into the next few games. Just get the ball to Hutch and tell him to run at everyone haha!

Another Davis assist
at 15:35 14 Apr 2024

Another few million on his price tag.

I think that's 17 now for the season which is ridiculous for a left back.

When does ramadan end?
at 22:02 9 Apr 2024

Seems to say either tonight or tomorrow - I'm not sure.

Thinking of the later evening kickoff for Morsy and Al-Hamadi.

Didn't the EFL put breaks in play in place for fasting players previously?

I love Sam Morsy

Morsy as a player summed up in the last few minutes of the game where he turned into a one man pressing machine as Al-Hamadi was knackered. Just when you need an energy burst it’s a’Morsyyy.

A novelty over the course of this season which is an incredible feat.

It’s not the first time we’ve conceded late goals and it won’t be the last time.

Dust ourselves down and on to next week.
