I was being deliberately grumpy, but one does have to be pretty clued in to TV coverage of the Premier League to get most of the jokes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,162 Posted November 16, 2021 'Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in' is from the Godfather. The bottles thing is because Conte has banned ketchup. No idea about the Delia's question to Francis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squires can be very funny, but most of the time you do need to spend a life watching football on TV and have a master's degree in zeitgeist pop culture...

I think that means you're far more in tune with the zeitgeist than you care to admit.
