Not the normal schedule here, either. How many have we had this season - 6 including League Cup?

If Czech teams reached the later stages of Europe, I dare say they'd be playing "English weeks" a lot more.

It is a lot more the normal schedule in the EFL, however, with 46 games to fit in.......

It isn't the normal schedule, no. Sometimes you will get cup games midweek, often at KO times like 3pm or 4pm which can be a pain, but normally its just 5pm Wednesday 1 or 2 times a season.

What they call a week here where you play 3 games weekend, midweek then weekend consecutively

Am I in the minority that it doesn't affect my efforts to get on the Turf whether it's on TV or not?

I live in Newcastle, but when I'm picking matches to attend, I NEVER look to see if it's on TV before I book tickets.

So you assume it's still a 3pm Ko and trust your luck? Aye alright

It just surprised me that the term still exists. I "grew up" in the days of AS400 (with lots of dumb terminals) when Windows 3.11 was a thing and in it's infancy, and these days I work with hyperconverged infrastructure that could be considered "mainframe like" when you consider I deploy a VDI solu...

Yup, most of the world relies on them still. Banks, travel, social security and pensions, we make the world go round, quietly and reliably

Is Tommy Fleetwood his real name or is it like Johny Vegas or Captain America

I do love that there's a Lancashire golfer called Tommy Fleetwood. Something of the Eastbound and Down about it. There'd be gold in a fictionalised cartoon i reckon.

Celery is great stuff a must in veg risotto (paired with carrot and other veg) and stir fries etc. Celeriac is also a decent root veg, not up with spuds, onions, carrots or parsnips but ahead of turnips definitely.

Maybe because in the context of wider life it really doesn’t matter.

Quite. There are a few fixations held by some people on here and while sometimes understandable to an extent, it does veer into self-parody at times.

He'd be welcome to post, obviously. Not suggesting he is or should be persona non-grata, but mental health isn't and shouldn't be a get out of jail free card for some questionable tropes and statements.

I like JJ Watt and have since before most people on here had ever heard of him. He's doing a lovely job representing the club. It still seems likely he's being paid to do so, hasn't invested in any meaningful way and it's very definite he has no say in how the club is run. We should enjoy him but w...

More importantly, being aware of that ignorance, and as such not proffering opinions about subjects you do not have a grasp on.

I ask potentially stupid questions professionally, at least as part of my job, and it doesn't half take some getting used to to get past the fear of looking like an idiot.

It may come as no surprise that the blurb for the tour looks to be incorrect.

I think there's a disconnect between what we consider a "club president" vs President as a corporate position.
