Another vote for Honest as the best high street chain.
People love five guys but as far as I can tell it's premium pricing for environment and food only slightly better than mcdonalds. |

Here's an idea. Take the train. Morning Euro star to Paris. Big lunch somewhere great (e.g., les enfants du marché), sleep off the wine on the TGV down to Hendaye, take the local train to Donostia and you'll be there in time for pinxos bar scene in the evening. |

People just sitting in their parked cars with the engine idling.
People getting uppity when you gently ask them to turn their engine off after they were sitting in their car with the engine running on your way out for errands, and still on your way back from errands.

I like my smoked mackerel. There used to be a corner you'd snap and then you could peel the packet back in a really satisfying way. The corner is no more. You have to hack at it with scissors now. |

I'm actually reassured by this. I get loads of Palace and Chelsea content for some reason across Meta franchises.
If our tech overlords and their AI lumpenproletariat can't figure out that QPR supporters don't want that then they're not quite as frightening as I thought. [Post edited 12 Nov 14:45]

I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

The injuries mean there's really not many options and I can't see anyone - bar Morrison perhaps - being ready to miraculously return tomorrow considering the bench on Tuesday. I think you just need to go 451, choose wingers who can help the fullbacks, keep it tight and try to nick something from a set piece / hope Leeds have an off day. 631 in low block, 4231 if we get real posession (Varane and Field behind the ball).
Leftback is the problem. Saito has actually done ok there. Otherwise I'd have suggested Dunne who has a bit of a left foot...plus any midfielder worth their salt (shhhhh!) should be able to play rightback for a game. We seemed to push the boat out to get right back Rocco Friel in...suprised he hasn't made the bench yet in this crisis.
Andersen in for his work rate and set pieces, to be replaced when he's knackered at HT or 55 minutes...Probably by Lloyd for his physicality.

Nardi is having an excellent season. I've barely seen him misplace a pass or make a mistake. But this is just stopping us from losing by more, not winning any points.
Saito looks good enough.
Varane likes the odd showy muscular challenge or switch, once or twice a game, but otherwise hides.
Madsen is effete.
Dembele is brushed aside.
Frey is still a joke, even though he had a good start to the season and Celar's making him look like prime Drogba. Zan at least had two shots on target last night...getting closer...
I feel sorry for Santos.
Morgan is a pleasant surprise, but he should be having 20 minutes here and there not starting regularly.
Chair looks like he's had enough. Treading water trying to get this team somewhere for years while is mates Bright, Ebs, Seny have their big contracts elsewhere. I'm not surprised he's run out of energy having to put up with the crud around him for so long. I'd have thought sod it and gone elsewhere by now in his position.
Besides Dunne, Cook, Smyth, Frey, Saito, this team lacks bollocks (and of those, Dunne, Smyth and Frey lack quality). No dominance. No swagger. No sense that anyone thinks they can impose themselves on the game and make something happen.
Yes, bonfire. Bonfire of the calamities. |

It’s a tricky one but you have to show belief in celar.
I think we could do with chair in a midfield three. He can receive in tight spaces, he can carry it, and he can keep possession. Get tight and narrow, and have celar run channels on the counter to bring smyth and Saito in

In my time watching...(and they have to have played a few times, and it's calibrated a bit by their reputation versus performance).
Cesar
Malcolm - Rehman - Samba - The Warren/Bruce jobshare
Barton - Sandro - Dozell - SWP
Hately - Moore
Gash players like Sean Goss, Ben Gladwin, Lee Charles, Armel Tchakounte didn't play enough to make the cut. And Niko Ham just misses out. Controversially Bobby Zamora nearly sneaked in. |

I agree. Even if we know he's not going to jump for it, the opposition might not and would need to put one of their big men on him or risk a mismatch. |

I though Madsen showed his best bits since he's been with us, but I did comment that he looked pretty exhausted even before the end of the first half. That's alarming.
Actually thought Field had a very decent game. He carried it forward once very well after winning it. And his crisp first time passing when marked was key to our momentum in the good bits of the first half...it was the difference we've been looking for.
They actually played better than they have this season, from what I've seen. But the bounces and deflections went well for Hull and they dispatched their chances, whereas we kept finding the keeper and then our heads dropped.
Anderson appears to be shot and Marti's faith in him is not being repaid.
Santos has speed, but so many mistakes and doesn't look up to the standard at the moment. |

Looked him up. He played more games for us than any other team. Astonishing. I'd totally forgotten about his ban for abusing Sergi Canos |

I am also satisfied with the start and think this team will improve. |
