I had a ticket for Ipswich at home to Newcastle today, got told my attendance there might compromise my quest to see every away game this season, and had to sell it.

I am very grateful to my wife.

He was only 7 years old when Southampton last played at the Dell.

Thanks for book recommendations - I'll open this thread up again when I'm in Waterstones with my voucher.

I enjoyed this, thanks.

Is Angels with Dirty Faces a good read?

Any other recommendations for timeless football books?

We're currently on a tracker mortgage (base rate +0.87%) as when our last deal expired last year, the talk was all of successive rate cuts in 2o24.

That's not really happened, and we nearly switched to a five year fixed on 3.89% recently.

That deal no longer exists, and the best rate with our current provider is now 4.09%.

Anyone else who has renewed or switched lately - did you stick or twist?

4.09% is still less than we're paying now, and the idea would be to keep paying what we're paying now so there was an overpayment every month.

Still bitter about Truss and Kwarteng - we were on 0.97% on our last deal.

I'm happy for him too.

I'd have enjoyed that against most teams, but this was especially sweet.

This 5-5 draw is going to be painful for Spurs fans.

That looks really nice. Looks very expensive with all that ply though...

Nice, I've seen a few that are really well priced and I've been tempted but also got a bargain built in oven and hob.

He (OGS) was at the game yesterday - ostensibly as a friend of McKenna's but maybe assessing the team.

Wolves looked really strong when they'd scored, a manager who can get some confidence into them could make a big difference (and make our attempt at survival harder).

He looked really promising last season, but I think he's nursing an injury and doesn't have the same pace yet. If we'd got another striker in, he'd probably have had a Champ loan, which is what I think he needs.

Has anyone got a yellow kitchen? Or something similarly bright/unusual?

Our kitchen is going in a former dining room which will have no windows (though the adjoining dining area will have rooflights and patio doors). I think it's going to affect how colours look and so I think something friendly might be nice.

That looks really classy, where's it from? We've decided on built-in double ovens because I can't be bothered bending down but I love the look of big range cookers like that.

What's your flooring going to be?

Also Liam Delap is suspended on Saturday so League Two's Ali Al Hamadi is our only fit striker. It might be a long trip home from Ipswich.

The inconsistency is also making it more interesting. Fulham look like they can give anyone a run for their money, but then lost 4-1 at home to Wolves, who looked absolutely bereft for most of yesterday's game.

The best thing about watching Ipswich this season (and even if we go down, it's not unexpected or a disaster) is that for the most part, we've played better the better the opponent, so even where a spanking is inevitable we've stood our ground.

Next games for me are Newcastle (H), Arsenal (A) and Fulham (A), with Chelsea at some point in between that I'm not going to.

1 point from 9 in those would probably be in line with expectations, but you just don't know.

It looks like Anderson was very lucky today - lucky to not have conceded a pen, and then got away with the foul before Elanga's goal.

At least my mates in the Donny supporters' group will be pleased.

Elbowing in the back of the head and then stealing glasses?

Cunha must have been a right little wanker in school.

Jack Taylor means I've lost my voice!

We weren't playing that brilliantly today but still tried to close out the game when that's not worked for us this year. When Wolves scored they really woke up and it only looked a matter of time before they ruined my birthday. What an ending though.

They always smash it out of the park with names in Italy, thinking of Antonio Di Natale (Christmas Tony), and Kevin Lasagne.

Juventus has a player whose name translates as Nicky Beans

"Oh good, five new pages of memes..."

This was our old one. It looked nicer than it was - the plinths were forever falling over and the dishwasher door was an ongoing nightmare.

Really nice.

We had the Ikea cabinets/Worktop Express Iroko in our old place and the kitchen was by far my favourite part of the house.

Hence feeling the pressure of trying to make a nice kitchen now we've moved!

That's really nice!

I really like the oak carcasses (an option at DIY but probably too expensive) and the floor especially - where was the floor from?

My son was ill so I had the day off work today and took him to the new DIY Kitchens showroom.

I liked what I saw, the staff were great, and aside from another wobble on colour it mainly shored up what I had in the plan rather than shaking me out of it which is good.

Please can everyone with a recently-done kitchen post pictures of it so I can be jealous/find inspiration/be sure that I'm happy with what we're going for before we commit to anything more firmly?
