It will be a person who was going to go but thought they'd stay at home instead and watch TV on an odd volume number.

Look.  The Sweeney was on ITV4.

😱

People do that?  Savages.  Almost as bad as having the temperature in your car set to 18.5º.

Stoke did their homework on us and knew how to nullify our play without the trickery of Grealish to contend with.  This allowed them to put two or sometimes 3 men on Bollassie making him less effective.  A draw was a fair result and a very good result if you consider the contribution of Hourihanne and Whelan in the middle.

Injuries told on us this weekend. We missed Grealish. Thing is he keeps us consistently ticking over, and when he isn't there the inconsistency of Bolasie and El Ghazi is exposed. Also, some credit to Stoke who competed very well on Saturday. In the early comments someone claimed Stoke were "mince", but they weren't.

I dont get the pejorative use of the word 'mince'.  What's bad about mince? Mince is tasty. If we're going to use a foodstuff to describe something awful it should be tofu.

I also like mince a lot. I think my favourite meal with beef mince is chilli, although it's close with Bolognese.

The only pejorative use I know is to describe the way some gay men walk.

My favourite curry is mince based. But it also has chicken and egg in it. Begum Bahar. Fucking brilliant.

Never been a mince fan. Much prefer a rump or rib eye steak.

I am on my second BMW and my Mrs is on her third mini, so all cars made by BMW, and we've noticed that the outside temperature value displayed on all of these cars was almost always a half value. By almost always I mean about 90 percent of the time. Clearly the same software within, with some sort of bias to .5 values.

A Blues fan I used to work with was always quite critical of Rowett, which I found quite surprising seeing as they were doing pretty well under him.  Stoke have a strong squad on paper and Rowett's pragmatism might be holding them back a bit, but I think they will probably be in the play off mix at the end of the season.
