    You can complain about whatever but I just don’t see the point in blaming a short term manager who was given no backing and players who don’t fit his system (and are ****) but when this season is all said and done Juric will be way way way down the list of reasons as to why we are where we are. It’s like ofsted blaming the late notice supply music teacher for why the school has failed the Maths part of the inspection. There’s many other places to point the finger and the supply teacher won’t be here much longer anyway and wasn’t even qualified to handle the position he was put in. He has done very poorly and made some shocking desicions but what do you expect when you’ve put him in a situation that he really couldn’t unleash his expertise on.

    I can’t stress enough we could have had Ancelotti and we’d probably still have 12 points max right now. The issue is the utter ****e recruitment which has been plaguing this club for years.

    Sack Juric tomorrow and absolutely nothing changes. There isn’t going to be a new manager bounce, they aren’t suddenly going to be giving 110%. They can’t be ****ed.

    Yeah the bakery is class. Love the brownies though my teeth don't.

    I use different ones for different things:

    Lidl is frozen bits, tins, water, herbs, and a few niche things.

    Sainos for bread, meat/veg and nicotine. Though I do use a butchers for meat a few times a month.

    M&S for when I'm feeling flush <laugh>

    Drives my nipper my crazy as going shopping for me never simply means one shop. I'm also one of those ****s who goes basically every day.

    You can’t beat a proper butcher for meat, a proper cheese shop for cheese and a proper Italian deli for, well, Italian things

    Good luck finding a proper Fishmonger
    When I moved to Basingstoke in 86 it had a Pork Butcher!

    We get all our fish from the lakes in our grounds. Well, the groundskeeper gets them.

    Isn’t that how all fish come?

    For what it’s worth, there are very few different fresh meat suppliers in the UK so the majority of the pre-packed meat that you pay a premium for in some supermarkets is no better than the cheaper priced meat supplied to Lidl and Aldi.
    In my time working in the Lidl depot we saw incorrectly delivered products with competitors labels, but higher prices, so don’t automatically assume that Lidl meat is of a lower quality because it is cheaper.

    Waitrose for Mrs No7's Veggie sausages and her cheese soufflé
    M&S veg and meat
    Aldi for the take away microwave curry - the curry only not the ones with rice (honourable mention to Asda too)
    Sainsbury's for dog beef/chicken (lol it is human food, but my dog is fussy)
    Tesco for most other stuff.

    When I drank, Aldi for their 'Rich Italian' it was a lovely red.

    I don't think their fresh produce is of a lower quality but I do tend to find it doesn't last as long. Generally if I buy fresh from there I'll cook it that same day.

    Talking of supermarkets, what own brand food can't you have? Some own brand stuff is excellent, but the below have to be the original

    KP for nuts
    Hellmans for Mayo (though Aldi's own good)
    Nespresso for nespresso capsules (though I use my Illy machine mainly)
    Lurpack for butter
    Diet Coke for cola
    Stokes/Heinz for ketchup

    Hence, local butcher, local meat from small suppliers, butchered (not slaughtered) on site
    Likewise, Cheesemonger (they are blessed), Cheese from small suppliers, not pre-packed

    Theoretically we could still finish on 45 points, above Man City.

    I don’t think we will though.

    I'm not fussy, but given the Mrs is distinctly middle class with her tastes
    Ketchup
    Mayo
    Cereal
    Loo Roll
    Have to be proper brands. The only thing I won't buy is shop branded energy drinks

    Strangely I like loo roll from all the major supermarkets - as long as it is quilted.

    Anchor for butter
    Cravendale for milk (though that's more that it's filtered than a specific brand thing)
    Heinz for ketchup though I barely use it.
    Don't generally get own brand crisps
