I can't provide any of those lovely snowscapes but have to say, even walking round my neighborhood, there are some trees that I think are so majestic and love looking at them.

KateR

my husbands standard reply, when I ask how was work or how was your day is a standard answer, fair to crap, that's it 99% of the time. Occasionally though he starts to tell me something and I stop what I am doing to listen, because I always think, this must be important, it rarely is but it is clear...

KateR

I certainly do, it's because we've evolved past men and can multi-task , we like to share the pain

KateR

as I said quiet a while, BFC is there to drive the app business owned by ALK, it's a sound business plan but somewhat long term and fully dependent upon what the app does in turn to supporting new youngsters and financials at BFC. Are you amazed yet?

KateR

would be a lot easier for most, if not everyone, if you could list and agree the facts, then after that, you can try to fill in the blanks with guesses and speculation, good, bad, indifferent. Perhaps even develop a SWOT analysis around it, then produce a risk matrix so you could track the next few ...

Looking is what you meant to say....... :D well I have to say it does help when they are easy on the eye and he definitely is, but trying to keep a little bit of perspective, we have to consider that Cavani was up against the best two central defenders in the PL, if not Europe and the world (hence ...

KateR

Think not what AI Scout can do for BFC, but think what BFC can do for AI Scout, this is only the beginning, tip of the iceberg stuff.

KateR

will be interesting to see the new owners views of stats and AI for measurements and how they interpret them to SD along with a gentle nudge to "maybe change something". Love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation

KateR

always good to see different opinions.

I thought he held the ball well when he received it
I thought he did well pulling defenders away with his movement
Very Barnes like with annoying the opposition and questioning things

KateR

not a chance we get that record IMO

KateR

I thought Cavani was very good

KateR

It's difficult to see when he changes tactics, Wood out of form, confidence must play a part, keep encouraging him, big him up, starts games, try to help confidence believe in him, all good things, but for how long? When does the time come that he makes a change, tries a different tactic to shake hi...

And yet those who ran the " tight ship " have sanctioned and profited from this deal what we need to remember is those who did sanction it and profited from it will actually have insight to ALK plans and business model for generating more funds than the loan actually requires in repayment. So you c...

KateR

Well the problem is you’re taking any old newspaper article as factual which is always a huge mistake. Pace said the figures are inaccurate but you’re still banging on about an £80M loan. the problem is you're focusing on the amount and not what it means regardless of size, whether it 10MM 40MM etc...

KateR

it's to early and simply not enough is known in terms of facts regarding the deal to make any meaningful predictions beyond the move from what we were to what we are, that is in terms of different people with different ideas running the club and that we are in debt because of the loan taken. My expe...

KateR

makes sense to buy player who have the potential if using stats as a marker for the future business plan: buying low, selling high, which can allow the owners/manager to assess competency and development in lower and different international leagues. Of course if you go this plan it needs to be compl...

Drawing, always a bit like my spelling, but feeling a little vindicated right now

KateR

picture perfect, could be on a postcard, do miss it, the family have been showing me so knew what was going but love the picture.

Clear blue skies as the sun comes up over downtown right now, 8 degrees, going to be chilly when I go for my walk at a high for the day of 13 degrees

KateR

Glorious day today, 21C with light breeze, decided to get away from the computer for an hour or so at lunchtime, storm/cold front rolling in this afternoon. Buffalo Bayou Park is a short 10 min walk or 15 min stroll and it is so nice to have it right on the doorstep, can walk right into downtown Hou...

Strikers at the bottom. Barnes and Wood

my original thought on first looking were all three forwards at the bottom

getting like 50 shades of black in here hypothetically (of course) there is a lot of imagination being used in here I have to say that I was "secretly" awarding the gold star for imagination to MACCA. Howevre, now after those last few posts I simply can not get the image out of my mind of MACCA, in...

for this window, I just can't see anyone coming in as a first team player outside the UK & Irish leagues, when I look at that, I will be surprised if we bring anyone in that will go into the first team within the next six weeks. Therefore, our very own iceman returning to fitness and getting into th...

New Years Day on West Galveston beach, cold for us but a good brisk walk, no where as busy as Barley though

You need to be careful though, you never know what critters might be around

It wasn't that good, waste of time traveling, Fake news, I've never been so disappointed, ever!!

I'd be surprised if they drink at all

if not they will after a couple of weeks with this lot

KateR

as we get near, let's hope for a year: where tiers are only on cakes, that the weddings postponed come true where bubbles only exist in champagne, or what we drink for the young ones here where the Donald we discuss is just a duck, and that Disney opens it doors again to young and old where Corona i...

Hey Kate
I was a Texas Claret for two years - living in South Houston ( Clear Lake and Webster ) near the space center

I’m still a massive Astros fan too!

Whereabouts in Houston are you...?

Central, border of River Oaks and Montrose if you know the area. It's a walking area and love it

KateR

Cheers everyone

Houston......We have a Problem.

we definitely do,

but this time we are not alone and hopefully the solution will come to us all very soon.

KateR

enjoy as best you can, we will be six hours behind the UK so most of you will be tucked up in bed when it's our turn. We all got emergency texts last night regarding the rapid rise of C_19 in our county last night and instructions to cancel all parties, stay home, don't go out or mix!! Not venturing...

I expect very little and hope it is only a little.

KateR

obviously some major changes to how the club is now structured in regard to owners. MSD provided the loan, they will most certainly have guarantees in place that are related to the loan repayment, those will include BFC assets, nothing new here, MSD involved with Southampton/Derby/Sunderland. MSD Ho...

It's December, a lot can happen in Jan, and not just the window, a break for a few weeks can allow injured players to come back plus obviously where managers/owners want to go in terms of Jan spending so I think to early to say who is going down. I think there are at least six teams who will be figh...

2020 Played 33 games, won 12, drawn 10, lost 11, points 46 Last 38 Premier League games (in effect a season) Played 38, won 14, drawn 10, lost 14, points 52 It's hard to reconcile those numbers against what I read here on a regular basis, so can I please ask a) are you sure your numbers are correct...

Not a classic but pleasing win and certainly defense is close to the annoying best it can be, in opposition supporters eyes. Pope 7 Lowton 7 Tarkowski 7 Mee 8 Pieters 7 - Such a good back up when needed and in two positions, which is very helpful Benson 6 Westwood 7 Brownhill 7 - For me his best gam...

See if they’ll go on Amtrak instead of flying. I went from New York City to Los Angeles a few years back. I’d pick that way every time if time wasn’t an issue. Superb. Thank you, issues are, there is no passenger rail in Houston to anywhere as far as I know and have looked previously, lots of rail ...

Best wishes ecc from Texas, sorry to read about your issues but happy to read feeling somewhat better, here's hoping for an upturn and more happiness to come.

Merry Christmas

no where booked as a whole family for 2021 and will wait and see for now. My son and family have been booked to travel here, four of them with our two grandchildren, for Easter end of March. The flight they had booked for 27th March has already been cancelled and they are moved to 28th. However they...

A few Christmas funnies, hopefully to bring a smile during these trying times.

I tried to find the jokes and memes thread but wasn't able, not sure if me (most likely) or if something happened I'm not aware of, or as many might say, yes clueless

KateR

Merry Christmas to everyone, enjoy as best you can.

13 for me, did not get the UK one
