How about "no, have doubts we'll get any more points"? I only saw 1 league game last season thanks to long COVID so I'm grateful to be seeing any football and despite an 8 hour round trip I'm still hopeful of making the final 3 home games. Points in any of those games would be wonderful. And I...

Seems odd having a de Zerbi team and formation that picks itself

Me too. Travelling in hope rather than expectation but that's part of the fun.

I checked IFAB law 11 and it has a definition that the play is the first point of contact.

I think that's where I'm headed. I believe that voting should be compulsory given our long struggle for a universal franchise. But I cannot bring myself currently to vote for any of the options. To be fair my old constituency only ever had four candidates and I don't know what the option will be...

We moved from Orpington to Lincolnshire last year and have gone from basically pigeons and magpies to a whole range of birds. Last summer a young spotted woodpecker found the nut feeder and is a regular visitor again this year. I did try a bird table but that disappeared in a cloud of rooks and...

I understand the resentment at City's success but don't share it. Surely we can all rejoice in a Palace defeat as City have plenty of games still to lose?

The NFL isn't the model that's being touted. The NBA, which is, does seems to allow you to keep spending and just pay higher amounts of 'tax'. I say "seems" because I'm new to the subject and it seems crazily complicated. The USA has a thing for trying to keep sports competitive but this sounds...

.22/.303/SLR/handgun in the ATC. Shotgun at the fairground at Le Mans. Useless at all of them.

This is where I am. It's one thing to have an ambition of CL qualification and another thing entirely to have a plan to make it happen. There are 9 other clubs that have greater resources than us. In a professional team sport that is always going to tell in the end. So without some means of...

From that list I would probably choose Murray at Wimbledon, with the Rugby WC a close second. But for me, Wiggins in the yellow jersey leading out Cavendish in Paris for a British team is a clear winner.

Loved Ducados, but then Marlboro Red were my usual brand. At least no-one else would take them!

He did a lot well and some he could have done better but it's a hard job when half the players on the pitch are doing their best to press the limit on the rules. One does also have to remember that the guidance for the UEFA competitions is different from the PL. I'm confused by attitudes to the...

What about 4-0 and win on penalties?

1997 Port Vale 4 QPR 4 4-0 at half time. 3 goals in the last 5 minutes.

I don't know what but this has always appealed to me. I think it may be the simplicity.

Why is the armpit itself used? The definition in the IFAB law is "For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit". I thought this allows the ball to strike the outside of the shoulder down level to the armpit. That would...

I love the irony of it being those two that should have benefited from someone else's financial doping. In other sports if you cheat you get disqualified. Deducting 6 points or 10 points means nothing. Perhaps Lance Armstrong should have had a few minutes added to his finishing time.

Me too. I'm just aftertiming

Glad I jinxed that
