because they're only 3 games in.

They're shite & they're nailed on to finish in the bottom 6, probably the bottom 3.

Gutted because I thought you mean the Kung Fu Fighting bloke.
That's an all-time classic.
Just looked him up, he's called Carl Douglas & he may not be as fast as lightning anymore but he's still going strong at 84 years old!

For what it's worth here's my starting XI if everyone was fully fit.
Obviously this is not the team we'll be putting out against Charlton or West Brom!!


Charles

Lamptey
Dunne
Edwards
Kemper or Cirkin (not sure I've seen enough of either to decide that one)

Madsen
Kamara
Chair
Poku

Very minor irritations - Calling songs by the wrong title
at 10:27 5 Sep 2026

My mate Darren gets very irritated by people who put a "The" at the start of a bandname where there shouldn't be one.
e.g. The Buzzcocks, The Pixies, The Sex Pistols, The Talking Heads

Slightly related quiz question, which very famous band had a "The" at the start of their career but then dropped it from their name?

It's got the other bit in brackets.
Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

That song's massive where I live.
My nearest town (Northwich) has a Pina Colada festival every August in honour of Rupert Holmes who grew up there.

Not getting my knickers in a twist but yes maybe I'm more irritated by this ridiculously overpriced transfer than all the others because I remember how poor he was for us & I just couldn't believe it that someone is paying even the 12 million for him!!
How many of those 30 games last season or 50 games overall did he actually start?
I live in the north west & know quite a few Toffees. They can't believe it either!

I must've been watching a different Tim Iroegbunam to many of you when he was at QPR.
I don't care if he's well-liked by the rest of the players.
I expect the same is true of the bloke who drives the coach.

He certainly did down tools when he was with us. He had about as much effect on most games as other lacklustre midfielders we've had. He was basically a younger Karl Henry but people gave him a free pass because they believed the hype.

There have been some crazy transfers fees going on this summer, but £22 million for Tim Iroegbunam is just downright insane!!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo

This lad didn't exactly pull up any trees on loan in a very poor QPR team a few seasons ago.
Since then he's been at Villa and Everton, started less than 50 games, scored zero goals & 4 assists.
How da fuq does that make him worth 22 million?!?!?!?!?
Someone should show Hull a video of that match when we let in 6 up at soon-to-be-relegated Blackpool. Iroegbunam's attitude that night was a disgrace. Unbelievable lack of effort.
That's what Hull will be getting from him in 12 months time when they're back in the Championship.

I have a good mate who's a Dundee United fan. He says he's been quietly impressed with Bennie so far and he has definitely not looked out of his depth in some very physical matches.

Decent squad player. First class attitude.
Runs his bollöcks off every time he's on the pitch.
Good player to bring on as a sub to stretch the opponents. Defenders don't like players like him, especially late in a game.
There's a thread on here asking if we need to bring in another striker. Maybe we do, but they cost a lot of money & we have Lloyd already here who we already know has the right attitude, some different attributes to our other strikers & some potential that may or may not be fulfilled. So he's worth a gamble in my opinion.
I'm sure he won't be on a big wage & if he does goes on a scoring run we can sell him at a very decent profit.

One of my best mates lives in Bigbury-on-Sea so I know the Pilchard Inn very well.
Just don't miss the last sea-tractor back to the mainland!!

Talking of the southwest, I was in the Hatchet Inn in Bristol the night before we won there last season. Reckoned to be the oldest pub in the city and supposed to be haunted if you believe in that kind of thing. Blackbeard apparently used to drink in there, and the locals claim that the big heavy door is partly made out of the skin of a hanged convict!!

Holiday observations
at 12:45 26 Aug 2026

another vote here for getting the ferry from Portsmouth to France and going to a Eurocamp.
We've done quite a few holidays like that, in the Normandy area.
Generally quite a few Brits there, but it's mostly Dutch families.
Decent enough weather but you don't get the scorchio temperatures that are causing more southerly European destinations to be borderline intolerable or literally on fire during the summer.

Film 2026; don't think we have such a thread yet
at 21:26 25 Aug 2026

went to see the new Spiderman with the kids, we all liked it and thought it was the best new Marvel film in quite a while. (but perhaps that's quite a low bar?)

Other films I've enjoyed recently...

The Life Of Chuck (not what I expected from a film based on a Stephen King short story)
Infested (well-made French horror, do NOT watch if you have arachnophobia!)
The Rip (decent police thriller with Ben Affleck & Matt Damon)
Da 5 Bloods (Spike Lee directed film about Vietnam vets)
Obsession (another well-made horror film, I think you'll either love or hate it!)
You'll Never Find Me (weird creepy Australian horror film)


and some good music documentaries.....


King Rocker (Stewart Lee's documentary about The Nightingales, available to watch for free on Youtube for a limited time)
McCartney: The Hunt for the Lost Bass (on iplayer)
Pavements (about the band Pavement)

and an excellent football documentary The Bus (on Netflix) about the France football team's disastrous 2010 World Cup campaign)

I'm one of those 8 that CheshireR is referring to.
I have been in the northwest for 23 years now and in Weaverham, Cheshire for the last 14 of those.
I don't go to that many home games these days, but I'm usually at away games in the Midlands or above.
Having said that I can't make Blackburn this weekend, so the next match I'll be at will be West Brom away.

Favourite Cocktail?

Love a Dark n stormy but that's already mentioned.

just got back from holiday in Normandy yesterday. While my kids were on the waterslides, I found a nice shady spot to enjoy a few Tomates. (Ricard with water, and a bit of grenadine syrup)
I'm very partial to those aniseed drinks like Ricard or Ouzo but they're dangerous. Sip away at a few of them nonchalantly and before you know it, you're pretty out of it.

also quite partial to a Mai Tai but it's definitely a holiday drink. I won't be ordering one in the Shepherd & Flock.

Tattoos
at 19:21 5 Aug 2026

Back in the mid-90s, I decided to get a tattoo of the QPR badge on my arm. Someone recommended a new tattoo and piercing place just off Glenthorne Road in Hammersmith so I wandered down there.
When I told them it was a football tattoo, they reacted as if I'd just curled out a massive turd on the counter.
That always struck me as a bit strange given some of the other stuff they would have been willing to do.

"How can we help you today, sir? You'd like us to pierce your nutsack with a metal stud, yes sir, certainly sir, step right this way."

"What's that you say? A tattoo on your arm with the crest of a local football team?!? GET OUT & NEVER DARKEN MY DOORWAY AGAIN!!"

Anyway, someone else recommended a place over in Hillingdon so I got the 207 bus out there. When I told them I wanted a QPR badge, they had a whole booklet showing various different versions.
I got the current badge at that time (picture 3 shown below) but I didn't know how much it was going to hurt so I just got the letters from the middle, not the round bit on the outside.


I've never regretted it for a second, I only wish I'd got it done bigger and got the full badge.

I've also got a big lobster on the top of my other shoulder, no particular reason, I just think lobsters are cool.

Been wanting to get more tattoos ever since, loads of music-related ones that I've thought of getting.
But what if I get a tattoo of one of my favourite singers or album covers & then in a few years it comes out that the person was a massive wrong'un?!?
There must be people out there with a tattoo of Gary Glitter or Lostprophets or Noel Edmonds.

I'll probably get Paul Simonon smashing his bass on the cover of London Calling one day. But I might wait until he dies, just to be sure nothing awful comes out about him.

I'm in a WhatsApp group with some mates & the subject of John effing Terry came up recently.
Surprisingly some in the group have said maybe he's not all that bad.
I'm not fùcking having that!!!!

Clive did a few paragraphs of pure brilliance on here a few years ago summarising various examples of what a prize c**t he is.
I've tried to find it but can't.

Can anyone help?
