Wednesday were woeful against a very composed and well organised Brentford side. Not sure what happened at half time, but it was like two different sides in the second half. Fletcher scores another brace and it is the first time in over two years that we have won after going behind.

Must have a real Stilton. Can’t have Christmas without it. My brother also raves about Barry Norman pickled onions.

wow. I have had never had a family Christmas dinner like that. Insane amount of work. I love the Christmas Day cooking, chilling with a glass of Buck’s Fizz while the radio is on.

I think I almost love the planning of Christmas dinner more than the eating. This year it will just be me and my girlfriend so I am making Beef Wellington, Dauphinois Potatoes and some tasty veg sides (not sure which ones yet. I am making the Gordon Ramsey Wellington. Did a practice run at the weekend and although it was super tasty I know I can do better. What is everyone else planning?

That is truly wonderful. My favourite moment at Wednesday happened a few years back after the king of Thailand died. We had a two minute silence, the mascots observed it impeccably, and there was a photo on the big screen of the king stroking a beagle.

Why can’t we defend a simple corner? We looked really sharp in the first 15 minutes but ran out of steam and let Swansea dictate too much of the game and we resorted to aimless long balls. By some miracle we took a 2-1 lead in injury time and it just seemed inevitable that Swansea would equalise and they did. Gutted. Still, at least I got to see one of favourite things, which is football mascots taking part in the minutes silence.

Cameron Dawson is a poor shot stopper and I knew Cardiff would score as soon as the whistle went. Our second half performance was so frustrating. We are not good enough to just defend a one goal lead.

I can’t see me ever owning a thermomix , but I love this thread and people’s passion for good food. Keep posting please.

Hmmm. Just done the combat tutorial and then given an error message and told to close the software. Anyway else have this? Might lower the difficulty level after reading the above comments.

More that I needed something to get my teeth into.

I needed a game to keep me occupied on my flight to Tenerife this weekend and this thread reminded me about the game, so I approve of this new thread. It arrives tomorrow.

American Gangster 3.5/5 Usual rise and fall gangster film, but Washington is always watchable. Decent way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Collection of Mans is £23.44 in the same. Do I just have my rose tinted nostalgia glasses on or is it worth another play through? I have never played Trials of Mana but Secret holds many great memories.

Awful game at Hillsborough yesterday but we got the win. We lacked any tempo or quality on the ball and only playing one striker at home against Wigan is a baffling decision.

Road to Perdition 3/5 Not sure why it took me so long to see this, but it never really hooked me. It was enjoyable, but just drifted by. i was left wanting more.
