The Romans brought cats over for pest control so there has been plenty time for acclimatisation

Stoke City announce their season ticket prices for next season. 19 seasons in a row they’ve kept them the same.

You should kick that habit asap Pete imho

Sorry Rob, head buried in nosebag. Yes, my annual visit from my GP's vampire must be due. She regularly comes back for a second bucketful too.

Pete - at least your moggy found blood at the first time of asking

I’ve got a big scar down my middle finger knuckle from trying to get a tablet into my cat’s mouth just as he decided to regain his strength.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

REPD - Hobo was a phlebotomist earlier.

Cats origatated in desert climates, so probably didn't worry too much about a bit of precipitation

How did cats and dogs survive in the rain before loving humans took them on board?

Next time, let the cat get wet. That'll learn it

Chances are the cat has buried the watch somewhere and done a big poop on top, they’re like that….

Cats always win in the end they only allow us to feed and accommodate them cause it suits them

The butterfly effect, pete style :- Saw our cat, Hobo, looking like a drowned rat, sitting on the fence. Being the animal loving, wonderful person wot I is thought, 'I'll save the missus a job and let him in'. Out I go, into the pouring rain and call him. Nothing; just sits and looks at me. After a while he sidles along onto the top of the gate, balance extraordinaire, where I can reach him. I lift him down whereupon he inserts a claw into me with surgical precision, not maliciously, but enough to draw blood, right next to my watch strap. Blood keeps coming, so take off watch, rinse gaping injury, get first aid kit and deal with life threatening wound. Red stuff still getting out so; go find wad of tissue; fold it up put it on top and think 'hold it on with watch strap'. Good thinking, pete. Now, where did I put the watch? I seeked it here, I seeked it there, I gave up and called the missus who, with a SoH likened to Old Nick, took one look at a bedraggled cat, soaked claret tinged hubby (who incidentally by now should have at least 2 nurses in attendance), the contents of first aid kit strewn all over her worktop with wet cat showing an interest in remaining contents, and burst out laughing. The cat is now dry, fed and purring his feckin' head off somewhere warm. The first aid kit put away, ready for the next crisis. Puddles mopped up. The watch is still missing. I'm told I'll survive. The wife says her sides still hurt.

Meadow - Folivi is both No1 and No13 on that list - how does that work?

West is best! 👌 👋

OI, then you're not a true pessimist, Papers worries right up to the AGM fearing a massive points deduction

Michael Folivi had the potential for such a great Genesis song about him

Thefishy currently has us finishing in 14th on 60 points, 10 points better than Wigan in 21st

Looks like Michael Folivi has found his level. [Link]

RP - the odds are strongly in favour of us staying up but I'll relax when we have those 9 points.

Looking at our survival chances... It seems to be generally accepted that 52 points should be enough to stay up this season. That's only 9 points more than the 43 we currently have. We have 8 remaining home games and the average current league position of the teams we'll face is 14th - the same as us right now. We also have 5 remaining away games and the average current league position of those teams is 10th, 2 places above us. Surely this is doable?

Yeah RK is a cockney compared to me. I think Mr & Mrs Pads live furthest out west of the regular wuppers.

Doesn't Trig live out in the sticks somewhere, even further than RK?

Braz - that would be an astonishing thing to happen, but the mixed emotions for Spurs fans would be so funny to see… To be honest, there are probably some of their fans who would take that right now… Trigg - you could always go to watch Sutton vs Morecambe tomorrow, or maybe Woking vs someone like Tamworth…
