Krueger's Korner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Over the years my hayfever seems to have been getting more and more concentrated. By which I mean it used to affect me all summer with sneezing and itchy eyes but generally was bearable, but now it affects me for a shorter period of time but is completely unbearable. For the last couple of years it's basically been concentrated entirely within a couple of days, and during those days I've been completely incapable of functioning. After that I'm fine and can enjoy my summer.

 

For the Neymar deal, presumably? Or not.

 

Phew...one fewer team that the media can link to Shaw. What did they do wrong?

 

Must be one pollen in particular you are sensitised to....locate it and cut it down or spray it with weedkiller....your neighbours will understand

 

Marc-Andre ter Stegen in.

 

They will appeal and win.

 

Literacy Skills Test today..... Hum. I hate English. Also, I hate American English being considered an incorrect answer. Bloody xenophobes.

 

Well we are in England and not America!

 

They will just buy him and loan him out.

 

I reckon Barca will still be allowed to sign him. The deal has been agreed and Gladbach have a replacement, so it'd be damaging Gladbach if the deal fell through. I reckon the Halilovic deal will go through as well, unless it's that transfer which was illegal.

 

The Barca ban relates to transfers of minors.

I think it was Shaw. Chambers, on the other hand, got us out of a rare bit of trouble in the 6 yard box in the first half with a lovely drag-back to take the ball off (I think) Cisse, and then calmly cleared.

 

For quite a few words, American English looks better than the English English equivalent, for example Practice looks far better than Practise. 99% of people don't mind which you use as long as you're consistent.

 

Probably right. I think the ban was about signing kids aged about 13 but might be wrong.

 

Luke had done 2 within 10 minutes of the start. Even Adam hadn't done one by then.

Chambers did a couple of drag-backs to take the ball away from Cisse and calmly cleared the ball into touch.

 

Nothing to do with the age. If I read it right clubs are allowed to sign two under 18's a year,Barca signed 10. They will appeal, I bet Barca aren't the only ones doing it.

If Barca appeal they can sign players in the next window anyways.

 

Looks like Chile has got off fairly easily from the 8.2 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Chile. Waves 2m higher than normal reported but the danger of a tsunami seems to have past. 6 people dead so far but could have been a lot worse.

 

Ah here we go

Oil seed rape is coming out at the moment. That's what gets me going, but only for a few days, so yours might be the same.

 

My hay fever has started getting quite bad now. Being stuck in England over Easter doesn't help as the temperatures are higher and all that. Usually it dies down around the time of my birthday in June so that's all good.
