    All should be aware that HP sauce is made in the Netherlands, there may/will be shortages and price increases following the brextit negotiations.

    Unfortunately Archers we all know that when it comes to Saints, your first sentence doesn't automatically lead to your second (about winning the game, not eating your own arse).

    It’s a fair point, but against that you have the fact that RB is a specialist position, and we haven’t had a proper, speedy RB who can cross since Clyne left. Hopefully either Valery or KWP can fill that hole now they’re both fit.

    The thing about JWP is that he will do OK in quite a few positions due to his footballing brain and his incredible work rate, but that doesn’t stop his best position being CM. The 4-2-2-2 formation which Ralph favours involves the middle 4 operating a fluid diamond where players swap wings and rotate around behind the strikers and often in front of them, and JWP was thriving with that kind of freedom. We looked so much better on Saturday when he moved centrally after the change to 3-5-2.

    Also the thing about JWP at RB is that when he does go forward or try to take set pieces, we are liable for him to get caught out of position. We are a lot better off giving him the freedom to move left and right (and central) in the midfield, with the luxury that we have defenders behind him should the ball get past him

    It was really good seeing Prowsie leg it back to put in that last ditch block when the ball had got past our defenders at the weekend

    Yes I was impressed with that. He improves with every game in whatever position.

    I'm confused is this what you mean.
    Kelvin. ... One kelvin is equal to a change in the thermodynamic temperature T that results in a change of thermal energy kT by 1.380 649×10−23 J. The Kelvin scale fulfills Thomson's requirements as an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. It uses absolute zero as its null point.

    I wash my hands while singing this twice

    Ring a ring a roses
    a pocketful of posies
    atishoo, atishoo
    we all fall down

    It reminds me of why I am doing it and while there are those who would argue that this rhyme is nothing to do with the plague it is still enough to make sure I wash my hands thoroughly.

    And........ Newcastle are bringing with them a pretty poor record scoring goals in the PL and winning games there too. So guess what, they've got the most generous hosts to face on Saturday, we usually help teams out with the problems Newcastle are facing currently!! The number of times out of form strikers suddenly get goals when playing us, and teams come with not having won for ages, find a way to win again. Let's hope Ralph can settle his mind and find the formation that saw the turn around recently, restored!

    There's no easy games, and no crap teams in this league.

    Imagine how 'crap' everyone must have thought we were earlier in the season. Then we go win 5 or 6 on the bounce.

    The minute you assume a game will be easy, you get dicked, a la Watford 3 Liverpool 0
