Unless you were born in a specific part of England/Wales and support your local team, you're a bandwagoner. So don't worry about it, you can't win there.

I know exactly where you are. Will try to stop in. We are spending most of our time in lower keys and KW, I've got some good spots to fly fish down there.

If Yulee is in fact partial qualifier he can practice but not play. Based on other reports he has yet to take SAT once... Looks like a non qualifier based on the chart I posted. .

agreed, they'll bounce back. it's also odd there may not be a single club from Northeast England in the Premier League next year. seeing both Sunderland and Newcastle go down together will be sad if it happens.

That's really strange for a bluefish to not eat just about anything, but yes, there are chum flies. There are guides that chum for sharks and cobia in the OBX and tie big rabbit strip flies to drift back in the chum line. Sometimes they eat them stripped, other times just on a drift. If blues are being picky and only eating chum, you can definitely drift smaller versions (Size 2, 1/0) of these flies at them and see if they will take it. Buy some crosscut rabbit strips in tan, pink, white or whatever color suits you, put down a base of thread on the hook. If you want a "tail" tie in a plume of marabou and then tie the crosscut rabbit in at the bend. Spread some super glue on the shank and wrap forward and tie off at the hook eye. The super glue will make the fly a bit tougher for the blues to chew up. Really simple and will look like a piece of chum drifting in the water.

I prefer to use an intermediate line when drifting chum to get the un-weighted fly down a bit. I don't like to weight flies that are supposed to dead drift near the surface or a few feet below, if you do they sink quicker than "natural" chum and fish will be less likely to eat it. I'd fish it on 30 pound flouro. If they are being picky on what to eat they won't likely won't bite wire. If some spanish macks show up as well you will have a better chance with the flouro. Tie a bunch of them, as you well know the blues will go through them quickly.

I watched it after they did the running of the bulls highlight show.

definitely dont think they'll win it all, but a top four finish is reasonable with no europa or fa cup matches for them. it'd be great for the league too.

We are Liverpool tra la la la la

KLOPP IS THE GOAT.

when you sign away two of your best players (benteke and delph) and are on your third manager in a year, its hard to win.

once you get into the EPL, i would also recommend the Men in Blazers show. its on NBCSN on monday nights and is a 30 minute highlight of the weekend chock full of british humor.

This is obviously an odd situation for Villa though. I don't think they'll be gone for too long.

Crock pot is sealed. You get better flavor with a braise - minimum liquid, instead of a boil. You will be surprised home comes out of the meat and veggie. If I am adding a grain at the end as a side I sometimes need to hot chicken stock to the liquid (nuke it to boiling first) to get enough, but a shoulder has a lot of connective tissue, so a lot of liquid collegen cooks out and is full of flavor.

He almost definitely is, but United did supposedly meet with him this week (though they deny it). At this point, as long as the next guy brings in a return to form, and aren't named Jose Mourihno, I'll be happy.

except leicester city, who was last at christmas 2014 and is now leading the league

The championship has several teams with English and European history. It's not easy staying in the Premier League when there are 30 or so clubs who consider themselves traditionally top flight English Clubs and there are only 20 spots for them.

Wow I just looked and I didn't realize that they were doing that poorly this year. There are still a lot of games to be played though (16 for Villa) and they are only three wins from being safe from relegation so anything could still happen, but yeah it's not looking good at this point.

Yep, they've been mismanaged and unfortunate the past couple years and will probably go down this year. They'll be back though.

Agree completely. 12+ hours on the egg at 212 with applewood chips is the best, but I often hit the crock pot. I use about a 1/2 cup eastern style vinager suave in the bottom, and rub (meaning cake on a thick as I can get it) with 1/3 cup lowrey's seasoned salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and a 1/3 cup mixed garlic, herbs and spices from the spice grinder. It barks better on the grill, but it will in the crock pot, and it is the sugars. Either way it is done when tongs can pull out the blade cleanly.

FWIW the cartoons for Clone Wars and Rebels, which ARE in the new Canon have strongly hinted that Obi Wan was just as tested by his vows as Anakin was, and he seemed to have a thing for the Governor of Mandalore until she gets offed.

So not outside the realm of consideration that he decided to find a female companion at some point.

Umm won't they get relegated this year?

yeah, the Bundesliga is like the EPL in many ways for spots 2-18, but Bayern rule the roost. i tend to not watch many Bayern matches for that reason, but the rest of the league is very competitive and entertaining. it's better than Spain where 2.5 teams will dominate the league (i'm counting Atleti as a .5 for their recent successes) and the rest of the league is borderline unwatchable. i will check out Valencia and Sevilla from time to time if they are on.

i guess another good lesson for the OP: clubs like Bayern, Barca and Real Madrid tend to focus more on Champions League because they don't have much domestic competition. There is no English club who has such a luxury, which may be why English clubs as a whole have not seen much success in Champions League in the past decade or so. When Chelsea won it, they didn't even finish in the top 4 in England because they chose to shift their full focus to Europe. It's hard to win multiple competitions for English clubs.

nah i think pep is going to city. but diego simeone from athletico madrid would be a tremendous coach for any epl team
