Off Topic Bill Nicholson Arms

Was that the football manager game that took about 40 minutes to load? You really committed to playing that game but it was highly addictive

 

I can't remember how long in particular that took, though for the record and our younger members I should point out that most programs (at least before the disk drive became available) loaded from a compact cassette tape. I remember "The Hobbit" (a text adventure) took about 15 minutes to load.

[Did you have a disk drive - to you I say LOAD "*",8,1]

 

No disk drive just one of these with all the same problems that music cassettes would have!

 

With one additional problem: if you put one of those on your stereo, your ears would soon start bleeding

Paulo Dybala has tested positive for the coronavirus for the fourth time in six weeks, according to reports.

Many outlets reporting

 

He's having real trouble shaking it, despite not having particularly bad symptoms, apparently.
Initially tested positive while feeling ok, got quite badly worse and has slowly got better, but still has it.

 

If we'd bought him, he'd be dead...

 

That would've put a particularly fetid cherry onto this season

 

I got sent this...it put a smile on my face...

 

Book ordered offline???? Is that a shop?

 

It's funny how this lockdown brings neighbour's together I'm having a water fight with an arsenal fan ...just waiting for the kettle to boil

The former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is “motivated for his next project” – but wants to return to the club one day to finish the job he started.

Pochettino left Spurs in November, six months after leading the club to the Champions League final, and has been linked with Newcastle in recent days. Reports claim the Argentinian is the main target of the Magpies’ prospective new owners should they complete a takeover but Pochettino could not disguise his desire to return to north London at some stage in his career.

The ex-Southampton boss, who spent more than five years at Spurs, told BT Sport: “It was an amazing journey that finished the way no one wanted it to finish. But deep in my heart I am sure our paths will cross again. From the day I left the club, my dream is to be back one day and to try to finish the work we didn’t finish. We were so close to winning the Premier League and Champions League.

“Of course I am looking forward to moving on and I am so motivated for the next project. But deep inside I want to go back because the fans are so special. Maybe in five years, maybe in 10 years, but before I die I want to manage Tottenham.

“I want to feel what it means to win one title with Tottenham because the fans are amazing, all the love we received was amazing and that is a good opportunity to pay back all the love they showed us from day one.”
