when they 'orient' things instead of 'orientate' them - said things then having been 'oriented' rather than 'orientated' the utter c***s

what about if they combine all three tasks and harvest coconuts using a cherry picker - where d'you stand on that ?

the correct protocol is to obtain your chips in a well-made paper cone, and douse the fuckers with vinegar, so the ones at the top are crisp, and by the time you reach the bottom (leave it), those down there have become soggy - best of both worlds

if his parents were insistent on a name starting with 'J', they should have gone with Josh....

lots of big reductions on Macron stuff from their official on-line store - faroe islands scarves, TSV 1860 Munich leisurewear - many fine things ! ETA - and some older stuffl here: https://www.macron.com/eu/en/everything-must-go/teams-mix.html

anyway - all that counting stuff notwithstanding, Serie A has been blisteringly fierce entertainment since the restart - goals going in all over the place, something approaching a title race, sixteen goals (two wins, a draw and a defeat) in four Hellas games, and I Gialloblù in the thick of the race for the last EuropaLeague place - could be looking at an autumnal trip to Kazakhstan, or Barry Town if everything goes to plan...

so - is this how FFP should work or is a transfer involving two players valued at €150m in total with both sides involved able to show a profit of €60m each on completion just making an absolute mockery of things and an example of nothing more than 'creative accounting' ? I absolutely get that - as below - Barca have made a €60m profit on buying and selling Arthur over the term of his contract, but having done that they are then paying €70m for Pjanic so surely they are €10m down on the deal, no ? what the f**k does it matter to their financial standing what Juve have/have not made on Pjanic, and vice-versa - why is Juve's profit on the Bosnian used to mitigate Barca's profit/loss ???? ETA - have been drinking rough cider most of the evening and cannot currently undertake basic mental arithmetic - go easy on me....

Foggia - nice:

absolutely - all that's needed is that classic badge and the brightest yellow imaginable - maybe a tweak to black trim from season to season, or ghosted patterns to keep the replica shirt deutschemarks (sic) rolling in - no need to f**k it up to that extent - dreadful....

re: piped crowd noise for games in empty stadia - would love to be able to claim this idea, but it's lifted from the Guardian: would be fucking tremendous

it's that glorious time of year when the Serie C playoffs get under way - the most complicated season-ending fiasco anywhere first round results almost all in now: (w/o = walkover for the first-named team, as the other mob did not compete) just one game for each tie - and if it was a draw, the home team progress, as they finished higher in the league placings to earn the home advantage Novara 0-0 Albinoleffe Allessandria w/o Pro Patria Robur Siena w/o Arezzo Triestina w/o Piacenza Padova 0-0 Sambenettedese FeralpiSalo w/o Modena Catania 3-2 Virtus Francavilla Ternana v Avellino (playing 01.07) Catenzaro 0-0 Teramo second round (three x regional league fourth place teams get a bye to this stage) 1) Novara w/o Pontedera 2) Alessandria v Robur Siena 3) Sudtirol v Triestina 4) Padova v FeralpiSalo 5) Potenza v Catania 6) Ternana/Avellino v Catenzaro third round in addition to Novara, who get a by to this stage because Pontedera have pulled out, inspite of getting a free pass to round two, four other teams have already qualified - due to their league position (Renate, Carpi and Monopoli) plus Juve U23, having won the Coppa Serie C; other than the fact that these five sides are 'seeded' and therefore at home, I've no idea how it is decided who they might actually play from the five second round winners; but if Potenza beat Catania, then they would be seeded instead of Novara and the whole thing degenerates in to a complete head f**k - unadulterated Italian footballing administrative genius at its very best fourth round (easy from here on in) the five winners of the third round ties will join the three regional league winners (Carrarese, Reggio Audace and Bari) to make up the eight quarter finalists jesus....

oh aye - didn't mean to infer that's what the reaction in your neck of the woods might be in the slightest - just that the purported influence that the Juve fans had over goings on at their club counted for next to nothing when push came to shove over something you would have thought would have had in them, quite literally, up in arms...

ho hum - as you were - Derby della Lanterna in Serie B next season....

Juve's infamous ultra's did precisely three fifths of f**k all when their 'untouchable' kit was arse-raped, and the Milanese are far less influential when it comes to almost literally holding a gun to the head of club officials having any meaningful dialogue with their parent club over such matters...

cock, piss, Dybala

half an eye on proceedings in Genova this evening - Juve held 0-0 at half time after Lazio come from a goal down to win 1-2 at Torino - if Il Grifone can hang on for a draw, that'll be just two points separating the top two, with Lazio having the easier fixtures up to the point they go to the Allianz Stadium on 20/07....

Are you genuinely saying you've never watched the derby between FC Wham and Real Duran Duran? i used to like those Visage shirts based on the infamous Man United away kits from that defeat at Southampton - solid black at the bottom and then kinda faded to grey....

there's aJury's hotel called The Waterfront in Brighton, and Charlie Burchill is renowned for stealing chips off folk at seaside resorts, in the manner of a seagull...

on the downside, his house looks shit and he clearly cannot afford to buy any clothes - life looks very trying indeed for the poor bloke...

rest of that was just noise....

they'd have been ideal for walking away....

cutlery on a traffic island ???

been blazing here all day, must have been knocking on 30 degrees - 20 minute drive home after work anticipating a cold one in the garden - glorious.... pull on to drive, park up, open door - sun goes in - ten minutes later, black as yer hat and pissing with rain - what an absolute c**t the weather is
