You know what really grinds my gears?

I thought Sagna’s number 3 was pretty sexy.

Yet, for some reason, I wouldn’t be able to wrap my head around a LB with a 2 on his back
:partey: It’s just not right.
2 is a pretty one dimensional number, just like 1 and 9, reserved for one position only.
Ljungberg had a nice shot with 9 on his back for the NT, but it’s not right. Saliba’s 2… :jorginho: He wears it well, but would look much more handsome with 4/5/6 on his back.

I like a striker with a 7. Sheva, Villa, Raul… A brilliant fit :+1: Btw, for me it was always the most special football number.

A striker with an 8 is nice at times. I though Moussa Sow looked brilliant with it.

Hours, days, months and years of editing players on old PES took a toll on me
:bergkamp: (I need help)

Ohh, I see…

:facepalm:

Haven’t watched Wrighty live (on TV) so I only had Sow as the best example.

Thoughts on this?

Nahh

Kanu’s 4 was somewhat OK.

Thinking again, that Adebayor 6 does look kinda psychedelic.

I like it now.

That I was 19 when we last won the league, and I’m about to turn 40 next month :grimacing:

Hello OA, long time no see. Jakey Boy suggested I pop back on, so I thought it was time to show my face.

Cyclists on the pavement

If you want to use your bike go on the road and don’t be a pussy.

Cyclist nearly ran over my foot today on the pavement and this is basically what I said to him, word for word.

And the kid’s mum tried to act like I was the fucking bad guy.

£10.10 for a single 16 minute train journey

9 years ago I used to pay £5.50 for an open return ticket from Oldfield Park (basically 2 mins from Bath) to Bristol - about a 15 minute train journey with an under 30 railcard.

When my railcard expired it was £8.70.

I just checked and it’s £10.70 now which actually seems to be a fairly reasonable increase over almost 10 years.

£10.10 for a single seems like a lot - we’re you going towards London?

There’s absolutely a London tax/proximity to London tax when it comes to trains nowadays, it’s fucking madness.

We’re moving back to Bath and I’ll commute twice a week to London (staying one night a week with my mate) and it’ll cost me £600 a month for two trains a week lol

Over £1,000 if I did 3-4 trains a week. Worth it in the end though, we’re getting an actual semi-detached house for less than we pay in rent for a one bed in Fulham.

Started my journey well into Essex and was going away from London.

There were no barriers at the start and I knew there were none at my destination, could probably skip the fare enough times before getting caught that the fine would effectively already be more than covered by the savings lol.

No wonder so many people do for those sort of journeys that involve no barriers
