Add enough noughts and it's OK?!

Too many cooks...

I'm surprised one could even catch half the game... They don't give a damn.

You're definitely less cynical than me! Let's see how long it lasts...

Jill Lewis 🌻 @jilllewis33.bsky.social · 1d

Yes to all this

Jill Lewis 🌻 @jilllewis33.bsky.social · 1d

Yes

I've watched both, VV and Fabio with Lange. I agree he presents well, I just think there's an agenda around the club which isn't necessarily as it's being presented, so for me I see everything through that perspective.

Guess I'll have to grit my teeth and watch it. With the caveat that I won't necessarily believe any of it!

Without any more skeletons I think he's probably just much better than Lange at what he does. Lange feels like the fill in while the Don was 'unfortunately unavailable'!

Haven't listened to Vinai, will read a transcript at some point. He strikes me as primarily a slimy PR man. Wouldn't trust a word he says!

As you say, we will see.

All the PR fluff says not, but like you I'll be surprised if he's around long. Again agree with you that I don't see a two headed beast surviving, I get they may have different talents, but nah.

That he's really good, so good he's playing for Madrid not Utd?!

My suspicion would be that, unless he does better than most of us expect, Frank's future is dependant on Lange. Frank is very much Lange's man

Jill Lewis 🌻 @jilllewis33.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe the perception that he was Levy's man was incorrect? Maybe he's very good at what he does?!

Jill Lewis 🌻 @jilllewis33.bsky.social · 1d

He's back.

How long do you give Lange?

And then Frank??

Ouch. We live not that far from Dungeness - Dengeness... Is it just a matter of time before Denge fever comes back...

Yeah, our vets sold out to a chain. Just about everyone in the area has now moved to one of two independents. We're lucky to have that option.

2/2 The worst thing is the cost of drugs. Buying online with a prescription is maybe 20% of the cost the vet charged. The last time we needed an animal prescription it was, I think, £11, now it's £30!

Well yes. But - Jones had a problem recently. Rang up the vet at 8:30. Saw vet at 10. Happened to be the specialist's day at the practice. Was diagnosed & home with medications by the afternoon. The downside, the bill, even tho' we're lucky that they're an independent it was still eye watering. 1/2

Weirdly, from a purely personal, practical viewpoint, 2pm Sunday is probably the easiest time for us. The train thing generally blows that out the water.

Jill Lewis 🌻 @jilllewis33.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly

Jill Lewis 🌻 @jilllewis33.bsky.social · 1d

Only half the trains are running from Stratford to Northumberland Park... Sunday matches always seem to be a problem.

If there was absolutely no promotional upside to book tours would you still do them?

So people say... From what I've read he's another having a poor season so far. Eze did more in 5 minutes than Rogers did all the time he was on the pitch.
