    Isn't it about maximising the value of Sarr even if it reduces Sema's effectiveness a bit?

    More importantly, back to the philology of kitchen equipment. Why do we call it a refrigerator when it holds stuff that hasn't previously been frigerated?

    Oh definitely, I think the tradeoff when Sarrs on his game is definitely worth it. But when Sarr is having an off game like yesterday then we lack effectiveness from both flanks rather than just one.

    Wonder if Sarr will have half a eye or two on the World Cup ?

    Not that long from a players point of view .

    Okoye to see the light of day for our FA Cup exit?
    Incidentally, where are we at with FA Cup replays now? None this year because of the World Cup? None ever again? None only in certain rounds? I notice there were some in the qualifying rounds.

    I too am relaxed about the term air fryer.

    In fact, I have air fried almost every day of my life since I learnt to cook 40 years ago.

    I truly swear by trusty old air fryer, or if you like , fan assisted oven.

    I think we know this is Sema's level and he does too. He has been good this season so one off day yesterday isn't too bad and I won't be hammering him for it. He does work hard and can cross the ball, links up play and when he isn't passing the ball off the pitch he can be hard to predict for other sides. If we do somehow end up going up, I am sure he will be one of the first out the door in Summer. However if we don't I expect him to stick out at least one more season with us, and considering that would almost certainly be Championship again I'm ok with that.

    On another culinary note, yesterday we went in search of the famous Wigan Pie-Kebab.

    On the train up, the debate was fierce. What type of apparition could this fast food Frankenstein's monster take ?

    Very dissapointed to learn it's just a pie with a bun wrapped around it. Thats it. Although they did butter the bun, for a reason none other than courteousy I must surmise.

    It seems Wigan's culinary imagination, not unlike their football, was severely lacking.

    How was it? Did you put mushy peas on it?

    Two full eyes, I reckon. An alarming number of players have recently got injuries that will keep them out of the World Cup, including one of our own.

    No peas in sight. It was more of zero rather than five a day place .

    The pie was actually very nice, perfect pastry. I chucked the bun away.

    Players in the qualifying rounds are unlikely to feature in the World Cup, unless they're Scottish.

    Why would you put a pie in a bun? That seems very strange.

    I get the feeling @I Blame Bassett has a massive library built into her loft or hidden basement that is full of philosophy books by famous historians. Some amazing quotes you come out with my dear, really impressive. :)

    Not quite!
    However I do have books piled up like a monstrous Tower of Babel, subscribing as I do to the Iris Murdoch school of interior design!

    Come to think of it Mr IBB may be under some of them! He's been very quiet of late.

    Not to mention her enrmous collection of vintage TV comedy videos, all in black-and'white and none of them American.

    I did have videos of Lovejoy as I recall.
    Infact I still have the club's one of the previous 4-0 at *****! Not to mention one that starts with Furphy and a team talk with Endean looking gormless and then progresses to the GT years.

    I wonder where they are?

    Wait, so this is telling me that Okoye is even worse than Bachmann at claiming crosses? Jesus christ, we really have got ourselves a dud there.

    Overall, a triumph.

    I'm still playing around with timings but the liver, broccoli, bacon and mushrooms were all perfect. The onions were soft but not as crisp as I'd have wanted.

    I usually use about 3 pans and the grill for this dinner, but this was all air fryer apart from the gravy.

    I'm very happy and I've boxed up an extra portion to heat up to eat with Tuesday's Bargain Hunt.

    What a weekend!

    Oh and washing up the baskets took all of 2-3 minutes. Now watching Hocus Pocus 2 with the kids, safe in the knowledge that my iron levels are through the roof.

    I would put one in the air fryer. Thats what I'd do.

    He sits deeper on his line than Bachmann, but achieves similar claims per game to Bachmann to the average in the league. So yeah, both aren't good at it.

    Not exactly Bunny!
    I am prone to rewatching them at any opportunity if shown, especially Blackadder.

    I do like Bob Newhart to assuage our American fraternity. "Nutty Walt" the original and of course "Don't pull out Mrs Webb!"
