Some interesting comments from Peston in his Goalhanger Podcast Liz Truss book rewind economy crash special. Including: Trying to avoid political points on a money show, he says the long term hit to the UK economy and reputation was far worse than reported The best that can be said about the...

Well done to those admitting to learning or moving on from thinking racism was acceptable. Maybe social pressure was part of it but I do recall in old Division One days hearing chants, like, say, against Justin Fashanu of Norwich, and feeling ashamed at those around me, though though it was...

But I don't think the risk is that high so as to worry needlessly - and maybe the stats might show that... The difference is that we play expecting possession at the back so nearby team-mates are aware the ball could be lost so are in support, and the goal keeper is prepared. The panic comes...

I listen to most of those mentioned. I like Brighton Rock podcast best when the presenters are more than usually slurry.

I think this was answered by @El Presidente in his latest podcast. I think he said that UEFA allowed ownership so long as the second club interest was less than 30% ownership. (and 10% for two premier league clubs).

I took the course rather than points having being caught doing 35 near Halnaker. Although I considered myself a safe driver I can say the course did change my behaviour. Not for the obvious reasons of thinking more about the consequences of speeding, but not wanting to be associated with...

Sorry to stray slightly off topic... On the one hand, kudos for driving no more than the limit, but two things to note. You really should not be driving (rat running) through Richmond Park. It's a nature reserve and you're spoiling the nature and air. Please leave your car at home or the A3...

Yes, observant article and helpfully not that instructive to other clubs. The ‘system‘ is described as the root of success without defining what that is. It could be in part stability and long term thinking but those are characteristics of, not a strategy or plan, of what’s done that now seems...

I watched the first 25 minutes of the full game last night, and, bloody hell, despite knowing all that would ensue that close to the precipice passing was fairly anxiety inducing. Don't forgot to breathe on Saturday everyone.

That’s what I spent some time doing last night, of sorts. Facebook and Twitter have blocked access to Russians but Google maps worked last night. One suggestion, though impossible to know what impact it has, I followed is to give 5 star review to multiple restaurants and business along with...

Oh dear. Seems like his well-honed routine of calling the Radio 4 today programme to say the reporting in his obituary are gross exaggerations... may no longer continue...

Putin is shallow and obvious; he's no genius he wants more of this: Purported leaked photos of the strip club, opulent theater, and bathroom inside Putin's alleged secret palace

Jacob Steinberg’s sum up in The Guardian: ‘ This time it was not even about Chelsea’s wastefulness. They barely created anything after taking the lead through Romelu Lukaku’s header in the first half and could have no complaints after this costly draw with Brighton, who thoroughly outplayed the...
