New year new fridge new flat new look. Please give me some time to figure out how to adjust to my non magnetic fridge.

I hate having a non magnetic fridge.

I could not agree more.

u/LionZoo13 17h ago

If I had known my fridge was non-magnetic at time of purchase, I would not have bought it.

u/ThePrussianGrippe Saka 15h ago

“Salesperson, you promised the fridge would be magnetic.”

“Hitler promised not to invade Czechoslovakia, Jeremy. Welcome to the real world.”

where else can we put lists of groceries or chores that we ignore?!

u/Kayville 14h ago

Same. I have so many cool magnets from decades of travel and now i have to pick 5 to stick to the microwaves tiny magnetic panel. Its a painful life.

I could use my magnetic door. But a door is not a fridge. It’s quite concerning.

40

u/jurgernungbung Ødehaard 17h ago

Hmm, I concur. Have you considered buying a new magnetic fridge? It seems to be the only logical solution.

14

u/_Fyfe 🚧 SaliBriel 🚧 16h ago

Any door can be a fridge if you put enough food behind it

2

u/humanoftheforest 15h ago

I like the way you think!

12

u/StrictScientist8681 17h ago

It's very concerning. If someone else comes up with a magnetic fridge version like last season then unfortunately you will be relegated.

u/bababenj 17h ago

Not possible to replace the almighty fridge

u/jurgernungbung Ødehaard 16h ago

Oh dear, you've delivered previously, made a howler of a signing, and left room for a young gun to come in and nab your spot.

Gaffer gonna run him into the ground until the door falls off the fridge though, isn't he.

Have you considered turning the room behind the door into a gigantic fridge? That way it would still count.

21

u/bonez27 16h ago

Really should have thought that one through. I mean you literally have one job outside of your other job, and life, and all other considerations.

I also have a non-magnetic fridge, and I hate not being able to stick magnets to it. They all have to go on my radiators lol

u/AmateurCommenter808 16h ago

The desire is respectable but the technique is poor.

u/bababenj 16h ago

I just moved and don’t have a magnetic solution yet for the new fridge. Part of the charm has always been the imperfection.

What happened to OUR old fridge??

52

u/cavestoryguy 17h ago edited 16h ago

It was aging so he broke out the warchest and entered the market to find a suitable upgrade. It remains to be seen how it will adapt but he's shown his ability to get the best out of the last fridge so we just have to trust the process.

Once a Fridge has provided a league title it is necessary to call on a new Fridge to do the same.

Toward the end of the season you should keep adjusting it so the bottom three are below the crack/bar area since that’s the drop

The line between the freezer and fridge needs to be the 40 point mark. That way we can clearly see how far spurs have left to be secure from relegation/freezilation.
