Call Jeff Goldblum. Life has, err, found a way.

Only managed 1 goal in the last double game week in fantasy football. Proper irritated me that did.

I wasn't sat on the bench. In fact, I think they probably need a few more seats, I must see if they will accomodate me. It's not to say it wasn't the right decision based upon the player's condition. Actually, in the lead up to those changes Sainz and Barnes were the two looking most tired, and Sara was having a bit of a stinker. Had any or all three have been hooked it would have been understandable. But from the perspective of someone who was at the game without commentary or replays, and given DW's propensity for puzzling changes, with very little credit in the bank, as things were happening it seemed bizarre. And from that perspective, the reaction was in some ways understandable, even if I don't agree with it.

With the benefit of hindsight and the final score, the booing seems idiotic. But sat there watching the momentum of the game slip away from us then removing the two most effective players on the night certainly seemed complete lunacy. I didn't boo, but there were definitely people in the South Stand who took offence to those subs and were booing. It doesn't take many motivated voices to start to resonate around the stadium, especially once the part of the lizard brain kicks in. TBH I was just really sad to see Onel have to traipse round the pitch to boos when actually he'd had a very good game. No way should he have been hooked for Fassnacht at that point in the game. Terrible decicision at the time, but DW got lucky.

Daniel doesn’t look very happy.

I don't bet, and never have, so those brands were totally invisible to me. Given the reporting and evidence of how damaging gambling addiction can be, that photo really shows that the commercial side of football does need a head wobble. The more I look at it the more obscene it becomes. Sorry Daniel, love you. -
Transfer Rumours- Jonathon Varane?

Has Ben Knapper got a dog? No one asks the important questions in interviews these days. -

Did alright with players of similar stature from the German 2nd division. I don't think any signings would be made with a Harry Redknapp back of a fag packet list and a conversation with the player's uncle's milkman. If anything is true it's probably over-analysed and strategised now. -
In his few brief cameos he has shown decent delivery from wide areas that with Sargent and Barnes should be a weapon. Just isn't our game and his minutes would always be limited as a result. Good luck to him if he goes.

Prior to the ball coming in Duffy hands over Bamford I think, you see him do it on the highlights. James should have never had as long as he did to be able to play that ball, we had two players on him and one should have closed the space but both looked scared of getting skinned. It happens, I don't think there is an individual error as such by anyone, more disorganisation of 4 players.

First half definitely. Leicester should have walked in 4-0 up game over. They came into the game second half but still look like a well organised group of ordinary players, not much talent there but I guess that's why they are playing where they are playing.

Stuff you've thought of but it's too dull for conversation

100% there are gains to be had through higher end equipment, but like watching a good film on a black and white television, good writing (song or screenplay) really cuts through any equipment. That's where my head is at, I'm just buying older stuff that I know is timeless and the reproduction becomes less relevant. There must be some kind of curve where the marginal gains per £ spent become imperceptible. Especially when you're in your 40s and been in bands for 25 years, there may be a bit of top end missing! There was a thing on QI where, if you know how a song should sound, if the elements of that tune are missing your brain fills them in so you think you heard them anyway. -

Yes, my dad has a far better setup with some floor standing speaker cabinets and the sound is lovely (celestion cones), but the Mrs bought me a turntable with an integrated amp. I am a little of an audiophile (a sleeping side of me since having kids) and the lack of flexibility did fill me with dread, but I've embraced the gift for what it is. I have swapped the speakers over for some 90s JVC bookshelfs I'd horded which pair up nicely with the amps output and actually it's pretty good (the speakers supplied were terrible). But for me, it's just as much about giving myself some headspace and listening to stuff that the artist has written as a piece and not pick'n'mix listening.
