The ex tory was apparently a senior member of the local CCP who had little time for Truss right from the outset in 2010 when she was parachuted in to the uber safe seat. Prior to that GE was when her affair with Mark Field became public. Something she omitted to mention at the selection...

That piece a few days ago definitely had a vibe of testing the water on behalf of the club. Indeed, they'll only feed him what suits the agenda.

It's rare for German clubs to allow any approach to a manager under contract. More so during the season. The Potter scenario wouldn't happen in Germany. (yes, I went there) Managers get sacked mid season here but it's always a promotion from within, whether temporary or permanent, or an out of...

Looks like Stuttgart padding up their fringe squad with the Champions League schedule in mind. Those I know, nobody stands out. Watched Leweling quite a few times. Decent at BL2 standard but nothing special at Bundesliga level.

Then we have a player who doesn't want to be here and downs tools after the hope and expectation of playing Champions League. We then end up offloading him for much less in the January window. It makes no sense to be 100% rigid on the fee for all parties.

Till death do us part - which might be anytime after lunch.

That's always been my impression. Potter has turned down at least three jobs after approaches since getting the boot from Chelsea. One way or the other, Southgate is surely gone after the Euros. The job has Potter written all over it. It wouldn't be so surprising if Potter hasn't already a nudge...

Brussels operates something similar. We had a hotel booked last October and was informed there was a local tourist tax to pay at the hotel - couldn't be paid for in advance. Fairly sure it was cash only too which I found odd. It was a chain hotel just along from the EU Commision complex not a...

Many large cities worldwide have clamped down on short term AirBnB rentals due to their impact in causing rental stock shortages for locals which in turn forces up rents. What has been described by the previous poster sounds about right for a large city. Berlin and other German cities have had a...

Standing behind her with a side of pork and block of English cheese should suffice.

No idea if previously mentioned as I don't have the will to trawl back through umpteen dozen pages. If a fixtures job then so be it. Anyway.... According to Swedish media reports of the story, Rydstrom's bestie buddy is none other than Björn Hamberg, Potters regular sidekick who moved into...

A no brainer for me. No particular admirer of Southampton, plus having them and Portsmouth in leagues below us keeps them firmly in their place above the big teams of Brighton and Bournemouth which grates on both of them when reminded. However, THE Leeds, THE biggest club in the world come into...

Yep. They wouldn't have done it if not potentially voteworthy for them. Spanish pensioners and Australia/NZ migrants who remember the bad ol days of the 70s no doubt being at the forefront of their thinking.

I've been registered as an overseas voter for nearly ten years now. I always vote in the GE but unfortunately my last address was in a 'blue-rosette-on-a-lettuce' type constituency, thus to all intent a dead vote. Frustrating as previously I was East Worthing and Shoreham where in the upcoming...

I think Ipswich I think that idiotic banner a few years back and this character. Always a strange fanbase. It's on the way to Turnip Taliban territory so not overly surprising. Bigger club? Meh.

That might have been the incident where he was refereeing a European game and gave a player two yellow cards but didn't send him off for whatever reason. As I remember he gave up top level refereeing not long after although I believe he did continue at local amateur level.

No! The Stasi were a covert organisation who didn't wear uniform. You do get to chose between a company issue Wartburg or Lada though.

Prior to the North Terminal expansion early 90s there was the GAT (general aviation terminal) parking area for private jets. Very few smaller aircraft at Gatwick these days. During Wimbledon the cargo stands would often be stacked with a few jets. Agassi once had a 727 parked up there for the...

As welcome as a turd on a dinner plate....

Bexhill Downs. Never renowned as an elite academy of learning back then.
