Pep's yellow card accumulation - possible targeting by PL PGMOL

[Blue_eyes]

Pep is a victim of the rules.

Ref fucks us on the pitch

Pep quite rightly highlights this to the fourth official

The fourth official cries to the ref through his mic

Ref comes over and books Pep

Just surprised he doesnt get more yellows, with how "incompetent" the officials are.

Dont forget though that webb told us how "distraught" that fat fuck was after shafting us v spurs......awww.

Pity he wasnt distraught enough to resign.

Different rules apply to other managers. Arteta should have at least one every game.

Arteta already had four before Xmas.

The only stats I could find are a week out of date, and Pep has got two in two matches, but on Boxing Day Arteta was top, with Ten Hag and Marco Silva on 3. Pep and lots others had 2 at the time (obviously Pep was banned for 3 cards, but one was in the League Cup and I can't see any stats including those).

Forget Pep. Can we get back to talking about Calvin & Hobbs please.
@JASR to me it was never intended for children. It was very clever humour. From your description Waterson sounds very much a private person, almost a troubled soul.

If you liked Calvin & Hobbes, I recommend Bloom County - My usual Avatar is Opus the Penguin.

This was Opus's 1st Sunday strip appearance (i didn't see it till i started collecting the books - it appeared in the Guardian, along with Doonesbury)

It's probably where I got my love for puns and play on words. NB Opus looks a lot better these days.

@JASR That looks very good, will give it a once over but can you have a word with the mods, the likes of @bluenova and @Blue_eyes keep derailing the thread

My apologies, I had just managed to "pull myself" away from that porn film thread on off topic and obviously my mind was elsewhere.

I will head back there now as theres no chance of me derailing that one.

Bill Waterson didn’t even do interviews.
He communicated a bit with his fellow cartoonists Gary Trudeau (Doonesbury), Berkley Breathed (Bloom County), but kept himself very private - and still does.
I have a vague recollection that he sometimes went incognito into bookshops, and signed his own books, before putting them back on the shelves.
After X years, iirc he felt Calvin had run its course, the limited range of characters, despite his in-depth and brilliant use of drawing and dialogue , was an issue. Calvin, Hobbes, mum, dad, teacher, moe, susie and uncle - I can’t remember anyone else.

Great documentary, even for those who don’t know the pleasure of riding with Calvin!
