Last time I did that for patches on my front lawn I ended up spending the next few weeks shouting at pigeons.

Grass looks good though. 😉

I have a 75inch TV, they took over most of the bloody screen multiple times with games I was not interested in watching. I struggled to see what was happening in our game when this happened and hope they stop doing that.

Those with little screens must have had a postage stamp view at times.

It is mildly irritating to me that he did have at least a handful of decent players which he couldn't get anything out of.

He is a terrible manager.

I am rarely impressed with other people décor but this is absolutely brilliant.

Although I am a big Pink Floyd fan my ideal feature wall would be a huge Tubular Bells cover. My wife probably wouldn't approve unfortunately.

Did you do it yourself?

Miley is progressing very well, that is obvious to anyone who has watched him play.

The kid gets a big thumbs up from me and he is just getting started.

Exactly! We have to have a few versions of the starting 11. This could be a bit of a trial and error type situation but in the long term I think we are going to have to get used to this type of squad rotation.

Hopefully it clicks pretty well without too much of the error part. 😉

Ddave73 @ddave73.bsky.social · 19d

Outstanding idea!

I have been using allot of Rob Hubbard (Sanxion/Monty On The Run etc etc) in a similar way. For some reason probably related to my childhood with a C64 and then the Amiga, old synth or "chiptunes" really resonate with me and have a kind of calming effect.
