I just dont get why on one hand he seems to like youth players and then on the other will just randomly pick a couple of young lads to hang out to dry.

guilty.....Ewood will be empty...it will be a shell ....

True but tony will put that down to covid impact on peoples livelihoods rather than accept it as a reflection of his actions

The thing with giving him till summer is that he wont achieve anything and then with loanees going back, potential transfer bids and those at the end of their contract, the squad gets ripped up. THIS squad is the best shot we've had at play offs since we had gestede and Rhodes knocking them in for fun and I fear if we give him till summer itll be another 5 years before we can aim for playoffs again. 

Just stated watching 'upload' on prime quite interesting /light hearted so far. 

Feels like it could be a black mirror episode

I've lost track...

Are we giving him until Xmas or Summer ?

I'd given him till last xmas. 

Gonna have to get the gas man out to check for a leak in my house cos you never guess what? I thought gallagher was playing right back?! LOL 

What about Gallaghers tracking back for their first goal gave confidence he could play wing back?

Thought he was one of our better players. Not his fault for either goal

He was marking lindsay for their second and didnt even bother jumping.

Cunningham was in a different fucking post code to our nearest defender

I'd say my back lawn looks in better nick and that was laid by persimmon and has had a dog pissing on it and digging it all winter.

My missus is in the middle of bingewatching Vikings on Prime - I'm not sure that it's a healthy way to watch TV.

Bingewatching, of which I am very guilty, is not good and takes away a huge element of what makes TV so good. One of the best parts of a truly gripping series is watching an episode and having to wait a week for the next one and in the interim discussing all these weird and wonderful theories of what's going to happen and what twists there could be.

Just started Mindhunters (Netflix). Set in 1970s, FBI - Enjoying it so far.

Absolutely  fantastic, really enjoyed it.

@RoverDomI'd probably just use the coarse plaster, rub it down & then tile over it, but Jimbo's way is how to do it properly.

The fun bit will be taking the taps off to get the towel in. I f*cking hate plumbing! My only advice on that would be to make sure you get a basin wrench before you start!

I went for the budget version of taping some plastic bags round the taps and basin instead.

I'd personally use plaster, just that ready mixed stuff from B&Q will do. Polyfilla for a hole that big will look messy and, although you're not bothered about the finish, you want as even a surface as possible for your tiles.

Just asked my dad, he's a bit old-fashioned, 'Treat every wall as if you're painting it'.

I'm just happy the answer wasnt "get your father in law out" 

On one hand I've ballsed up, but on the other hand I've got all you DIY folk to help 😂

So taking the splashback off from behind the sink in the bathroom and I've taken half the drywall with it, it's about the only thing persimmon have fitted with any sturdyness. My Q is, what's the best way to fill it if I'm going to be tiliing over it. Is it ok go use Pollyfilla? I'm not bothered about how its finished as will be tiling over it so just bothered with the tiles staying on the wall. 

Pics so you can see damage. 

And remember the rules of the thread are to not call me stupid 😂

That’s the thing, I’ve had quite the traditional role reversal, I’m good at cooking and a bit OCD, so everything is very tidy! 
I blame my Dad. He is the one supposed to pass these skills down and he just gets other people to do it for him. 
‘Why should I do it when I could pay someone to do a better job than I could?’.

Can’t fault the logic really!

I also should have got the skills from my dad but he was always very much the "no you're doing it all wrong give it here" type. Very very good at DIY though. I didnt take it personally because I remember we got a new kitchen put in (a rare time he got someone in to do it), it was an old shaped house with odd shaped walls and tbf I thought the kitchen looked smart but he speant the next few months slowly taking panels off and proper crafting them to fit the shape of the wall. 

I'm an accountant and my father in law to be is a builder. I quite like giving DIY a go but I'm in a constant battle with my missus so she'll let me do DIY "just ask dad to do it, hes a builder you're just an accountant!!!!" Whenever I embark on a DIY project I'm so so cautious cos I'm scared that one mishap means I'll be banned from DIY. 

I'm quite stubborn so this lead me to spend a good 7 hours putting a shed up by myself cos I didnt even want to ask anyone to hold two panels together for me. Tiled the bathroom wall at the weekend which is my first time tiling. Earned a compliment from the father in law when my missus sent him a picture so chuffed with that. 

All this can only mean I'm going to fall through the ceiling when I board out the loft. 

Saw that, hadnt realised he'd dropped so low down. 

He became my favourite player for a while when he scored the only goal in a win against man utd in 2003 or 2004? Must have been about 12 at the time but just the sheer joy of beat Man utd who I loathed at the time.

Arsenal are looking to loan William Saliba out to a Championship club. Would be a shrewd move if we could pull it off. I think Nathaniel Phillips would be a shoe in if it wasn't for Liverpool's injury problems at centre back. Currently, they only have him and Rhys Williams as options to play alongside Fabinho so I can't imagine that one happening.

Williams looks decent, I'd have him on loan any day but like you say, liverpool arent well stocked in fit central defenders at the moment.

Mrs Shoelaces says " Money Heist " is the best thing she's watched for a while.

Do you like my new font ? My computer obviously does.

Absolutely fantastic show. Series 1 and 2 were brilliant. 3rd and 4th were still surprisingly good even though I thought it was going to be a desperate attempt to keep the franchise going.

Have you watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix yet? Pretty interesting. 

Watching it now (been on my list for a while)

Its very eye opening even though I thought I was aware of what they were doing. It's a free service, that is worth billions, of course they're exploiting our data and usage habits for targeted ads etc but this was very eye opening about the actual extent of it.
