He wasnt lucky - its a scam - gotta check your receipt before you leave the pump

Obviously not. Hennessey isn’t the world’s greatest keeper but suggesting he has improved because of competition is basically calling him unprofessional and lazy because it is suggesting he simply couldn't be arsed to improve before because he didn’t have to, because no one was going to take his place.

I would imagine it is down to better coaching, better defence etc.

I think the added frisson of knowing if you don't perform, someone will take your place in the team is a key driver for players in team sports.

Its not suggesting that they are unprofessional, but a team with competition for players in key positions will normally outperform one without that factor.

Yes.

Liverpool ‘fans’ on Twitter from the US, Egypt, Ireland, Timbuktu telling me how Palace got outsung.

The Compare The Market Meerkats need to do one- actually they should have done one awhile ago.

Threads that disappear making me think I'm losing my marbles!

TV advertising that uses actors pretending to be real people off the street. Fabrication!

You really ought to be talking to Barry Scott...

Woosh.... And the actor is gone :supergrin:

Night terrors. At my age.

Did you send that CV?

The fact that the ‘critical reception’ part of movies on Wikipedia almost always have a quote from Roger Ebert

TV commercials associated with women's 'bits'. To many.

Early riser taking the hammocks by the pool and ‘reserving’ for his family. Karma achieved when pool manager removes all belongings an hour later and frees up for other guests. Angry man now arguing with pool manager - he shoulda read the pool policy.

Excellent news.

Push the ****** in too.

Superb. Entitled, selfish wankers.

Vos he arguing mit zer Cherman accent.

I was on holiday recently and the Brits were worse

Talking to people on the phone that must be wearing those head-set things...

I know I'm going a little deaf, but I'm pretty sure it's not all me. I'm forever saying, "say again", "excuse me", "one more time", etc., etc.

Also I tend to just say, "Yes" when I don't hear them properly, which apparently is not always the right answer! :wallbash:

The British on holiday are a f*cking disgrace, even in Britain.
