Rhino1 281 Posted November 12, 2019 What with outrageous totally unbelievable politician rubbish day in day out! What with Pink un journalists getting slaughtered for sensationalising headlines! What with Norwich city fans leaping to the defence of our manager despite being bottom and heading for relegation!! (By the way totally agree with them, just pleasantly surprised how unified everybody is behind this support given our perilous position) You could be excused for thinking the the world is going ever slightly mad!!! Thank goodness for the quite wonderful Anna Trybull (on latest TNC podcast) she restores faith in human behaviour!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand what you mean, Tilly?? You got grief for posting photos but somehow that's now legitimised because she's been interviewed on TNC? I think it's good that she's sharing her story and we're seeing something other than football here. But the reason you were all crucified for posting pics of players wives in various states of undress is because it's just, kinda, pervy and weird. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just feel the sight of two young men in skimpy swimwear could so inflame passions among impressionable viewers that they would be unable to concentrate on the searching questions and the revealing answers.

Orly 277 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) What a load of fawning garbage. She seems perfectly nice, but honest to god, why? Purely because some people think she is hot? I don't generally like to criticise (semi) creative endeavours but TNC? More like TMZ... On next week's podcast, Delia's feminine hygiene tips, and Daniel Farke's hot female cousin picks up a bratwurst with her elbows.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 14, 2019 I have two wear a one piece now as the chest has headed south and occupied the belly. But I'm sure I could still turn heads. I have gifted you an opening there, don't let me down. I don't know what it is like where you are but it is stair rods down here and it is the Scottish lady on Bargain Hunt and she gets on my nerves so I am posting anything. You live in Killville - a town populated by 10 killers and 10 pacifists.When a pacifist meets a pacifist, nothing happens.When a pacifist meets a killer, the pacifist is killed.When two killers meet, both die.Assume meetings always occur between exactly two persons and the pairs involved are completely random.Are your odds of survival better if you are a killer? or a pacifist?

lake district canary 4,519 Posted November 14, 2019 What an inspirational lady. Thoroughly enjoyed the interview and especially her bringing some insight into her's and Tom's back story, which shows the battles footballers - and everyone else - have in their lives and careers. Maybe we could see some other interviews with other players strong wives/girlfriends which can dispel the footballers wives stereotypes that we so often see portrayed in the media. It all helps connecting players with fans - they are human and the more we can understand their stories, the better it is. So good job TNC guys, this was a great idea and Anna is great too in every way. Tom is a lucky boy, hope he goes from strength to strength this season on the back of having so much support behind the scenes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,315 Posted November 14, 2019 Thought it was a bit of waste of my time to watch it, so TT gets "massive respect" for ordering a Cortado with coconut milk! Wow. I have to admit I gave up on it after about 20ish mins, so maybe I missed the interesting insightful bits. What I did glean from it was....pretty attractive Ukrainian woman tries to make it in US of A , didn't go so well so returns to Germany and marries a footballer. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
