It's *already* a lost season. The owners might have already acknowledged this and have decided to just let Gerrard work through things and scrape out a survival campaign and maybe think that somehow he actually is good enough to try again next season.
Chelsea flying and Brighton struggling says it all. Potter is the real deal. I expect he'll have them better prepared than Leavie G will have us.
2-0 to them.
There's a BBC news announcer with a strong West Country accent who pronounces her Rs pretty aggressively, and it's always a bit jarring because you just don't expect to hear that.
NPR just hired a new daytime host who is an Australian native. Her accent is fairly typical, non-rhotic. "Mahkit" (market), etc.
So NPR allows for that accent, but they would never hire a Bostonian with a pronounced accent who would also say "mahkit".
I honestly wonder why.
I've devised a new pasta sauce method that is perfect for quick weeknight preparation.
Squeeze half a tube of tomato paste into a sauce pan and cook it on medium heat for 2 minutes. Save the water you've cooked half a package of pasta in and add half a cup of it to the paste to create a sauce. Add cracked pepper, salt, garlic powder and chili flakes. Dump the pasta in there and stir. Top with Parmigiano.
Literally better than any fancy jarred sauce at the supermarket.
