Looking at her, she is probably not a fanatical turnip eater herself.
Are turnips on her own menu? How often per week? I think we ought to be told. |

And you intended it to be an insult, right? How charming.
I can't help wondering what other people think of your own ability and usefulness in your own job, whatever it may be. And how you'd enjoy them being 'wittily' insulting about it in a public forum. Especially if they don't actually know you, and couldn't ever do your job themselves. |

With respect, Veggie, after a decade with the same pro club, Tom Eastman is the exact opposite of a "journeyman" (i.e. someone who keeps changing clubs, moving on again after a short period of time and sometimes more than once per season). |

Many good people have died tragically and their home towns weren't promptly handed city status.
This is simply the Tory government immediately seizing an opportunity to make another big populist gesture which, by the by, will guarantee them the sympathy vote and a massive majority win at the upcoming Southend by-election.
Sympathy from them, though? Not one bit. Only sickening political opportunism from Johnson & Co. as per usual - and the poor old Queen has no choice but to comply. [Post edited 19 Oct 2021 0:59]

I don't think those people are Cardiff City fans. Or football fans. They are just a bunch of common hooligans turning up at football matches with the intention of committing random violence. Some clubs are more notorious than others for that kind of element, and thus attract more of it. |

He formerly played for Colchester, and if their stadium announcers were anything to go by, it's pronounced "Bonn" (like the former German capital city). |

"Selby must be the most boring snooker player to win the World title"
... I give you Peter Ebdon. And Graeme Dott.
When these two grinders met in the 2006 final match, they set the record for the latest finish in a Crucible final, finishing just before 1:00am. By which time a fair proportion of the audience had either dozed off, or quietly snuck out; and the commentating team were resorting to increasingly sarcastic remarks. [Post edited 3 May 2021 1:25]

"Within a hare's breath"??
Obviously the expression you were after was, 'within a hair's breadth'.
It's only fair to point it out, since you were posting here to paint someone else as a dunce. [Post edited 13 Apr 2021 16:59]

A sly piece of manipulation. List a few other clubs but not Colchester, and people on here will immediately assume it's got to be Colchester, without further scrutiny.
Well:

It's more likely to be Oldham, IMHO. |

Reply | Can people please stop referring to the PM as simply "Boris"?
at 19:15 20 Dec 2020
I refer people to this poem by Lisa Hallgarten, published in the Guardian:
Don't call him Boris
Don’t call him Boris.
It’s the name for a cuddly toy, a cute little Russian boy, a dashing guy from a book by Tolstoy.
Don’t call him Bojo.
He’s not fast like Flo Jo or sexy like J-Lo. Don’t mix up mojo with a sleazy libido.
Don’t even call him a Bozo.
He’s not dopey or stupid or amusingly ropey.
He’s lazy, duplicitous, slippery, wet soapy.
He’s no fool, no joker, no harmless buffoon, he’s a cynical, devious, racist goon.
Please don’t compare this dangerous fake
To a benign and affectionate
namesake.
He’s not original, a one-off.
He’s not a maverick.
If you have to...
call him Johnson
...another word for dick. |

Am puzzled by the original question. "Watch games against small sides where the fans are stood outside"-?
I have watched many local non-league games at the grounds of Needham, Stowmarket, Felixstowe, Bury Town and Ipswich Wanderers. And am pretty certain that none of those pitches are visible to spectators "outside", by which I assume the OP means outside the turnstiles. They are all solidly fenced off, in some cases with a clubhouse situated between the turnstiles and the pitch.
Contrary to what some people imagine, those "small sides" don't exactly play on parks pitches. [Post edited 8 Aug 2020 18:40]

Just looked it up... in 2001-02 (Town's last season in the Premier League), Fleetwood were in the Premier Division of the North West Counties League - the 9th tier of English football. Got to admit theirs is quite a success story. |

The leagues stipulate that there has to be a certain minimum admission charge for each level, except for a limited number of promotional events per season for which clubs are allowed to offer special admission prices, I believe.
But there is no maximum charge - clubs may effectively charge whatever they think they can get away with. |

Why do people rate Pringles, let alone highly??
They're not even real chips off potatoes. They're highly processed, mechanically shaped, reconstituted starch slop.
One of those triumphs of a much publicised brand name people will blindly buy, over the actual value or quality of the product. |

And while England kept proudly looking back at that game, now 54 years ago, Germany went and won 3 more World Cups (on top of the one they already had at the time); plus 3 Euro titles; plus a good few runners up medals they don't even care about.
Ah well. |

I wouldn't call Trump or Farage politicians. It would be like, calling me an architect because I once built a sandcastle. Also it is an insult to the memory of genuinely worthy statesmen of the past.
Opportunistic, sly, utterly self-serving demagogues and rabble rousers, yes. But not politicians. |
