    Are they good because of her, or despite her? I struggle to think of one where she is the lead that is a great episode, apart from the one above.

    I liked the Dustin Hoffman one. It was good but also one of those ace Simpson episodes that hits you in the feels as the kids say.

    My issue with 'newer' Simpsons is the amount of guest voices they cram in to an episode which kind of forces it to be based around that person(s). The better and more watchable episodes in Season 20-somethings are the ones where they stick to the basics. They still tell good stories and jokes when they're not trying to shoehorn guests in. There are a lot of good episodes that they don't really get credit for, because of the widespread opinion that Post-S8 is terrible, but the ratio of bad to good episodes in S20 onwards is in favour of bad, and that ratio gets larger with each passing season.

    They still put in some pretty cringey jokes too though. Like when they just decided the Rich Texan was going to be obsessive compulsive. What's that about? Awful joke that they keep bringing back. That's just one I can think of off the top of my head. There are others.

    And Lisa. Lisa episodes are always terrible, apart from the Jedidiah Springfield/Hans Spungfeld episode, though she's not the reason that episode is good, but she manages to be bearable. She seems to have become the main character in S20 onwards. When they make Lisa sing, with that voice, it has to get switched off.

    There are some good LIsa episodes and you know it!

    It's going ot be called "The Craftsman Company" it has the windows done with the decals etc and there is a facebook page but it doesn't look anywhere near ready to open. Was speaking to the guy who runs the Wig and he said they were looking at opening a pub there but because they turned it into offices which literally no one used it was going to cost about 100k to turn it back into a bar. No idea how accurate those figures are like.

    I've a lot of time for Arsene Wenger and what he has accomplished at Arsenal, but he has certainly ran his course and probably should have left several season ago. I want him to depart purely to raise the standard of football "banter" across the internet. "lol wenger" has become a pretty tedious meme. It's not quite as bad as "lol liverpol havenot won da title in 40 years!!!!!! crylaugh emoji" but it's definitely up there. Get in the bin, Mr. Arsene.

    I'm so glad that us an Sunderland are going to pass each other on the way up/down. That really capped-off a successful season for us. Utterly sick of the derby. I like a bit of good-natured trolling as much as anyone, but I'm pretty tired of the bile and venom those games tend to provoke. I hope they rot in hell, and we never play them again.

    I disagree, after recent history I wish we were playing them next season. Would be our best chance in a long while. Give them a spanking...then not play them for a while.

    Pigeons keep destroying the fairy lights pinned to the fence in my garden.

    Is there such a thing as Pigeon Repellent? The kind of thing that will just turn them into pigeon sludge as soon as they take one peck at the repellent?

    They're a right set of bastards. I used to feel a bit sorry for them in Aberdeen, they always got bullied by those mutant sized seagulls. But now I hope all pigeons get swallowed whole by seagulls.

    Put the fairy lights away like a normal person.
