Not going, simply because, having got through the whole sodding, miserable winter without so much as a sniffle, I now have the cold from hell 🤬.
Annoyed to miss it. Not sorry to miss the selection of three and four coach chuggers that constitute the post match rail service for midweek games...
As an adjunct to Mims Davies jumping ship (again) to a perceived safer seat, I noticed Jonathan Ash-Edwards, erstwhile undistinguished leader of Mid Sussex District Council, will be standing for the role of Police and Crime Commissioner.
In Hertfordshire.
Sometimes politics defies parody.
Like De Zerbi. I hope he stays. I like the fact that he's passionate rather than bland and anodyne. He perhaps needs to consider how his words will be received given the press propensity to create a ludicrous hue and cry about any remark. But he'll learn and wouldn't want him to change that...
It was cancelled after season 3. Reasons are complex, however, it was expensive to produce and the ratings were good - but not high enough for NBC. This was in the days before demographics and the producers didn't appreciate how popular it was with the key 18-34 group.
For season 3, the shows...
As I mentioned, it was pre Covid, October 2019 if I recall right. Stewards were clearly more interested in bad language from home fans. Hence it seemed pointless complaining just to receive a bland, anodyne stock reply. Plus we won with a late own goal and the guy got (well deserved) pelters...
Standard of refereeing for the supposed 'best league in the world' is appalling and inconsistent.
Brooks is just the latest in a long line of hopeless fuds.
Gave up bothering about this.
Pre Covid, there was a guy in the East Upper wearing Everton colours,/celebrating their goals when we played them. Pointed this out to stewards. Told me he 'wasn't doing any harm'.
Same match, guy we know was warned for using, shall we say, 'Robust language'...
He can hardly expect to be welcomed back after the way he downed tools to engineer his exit. In normal circumstances, therefore, I might be inclined to boo him.
But the hat trick he scored in the scousers back yard means he's upgraded from dislike to indifferent.
Sadly, the late, great Ray Moore passed long ago.
Back when Talk Radio first launched in 1995 I recall Dr David Starkey doing one of those phone in type shows where members of the public are encouraged to help debate the topical issues of the day. Starkey isn't everyone's cup of tea but it was...
Have to agree. I find him a refreshing change from so much of the bland, anodyne pish that characterisises so many football interviews where people don't say what's on their mind.
Is he always right? No. Do I always agree with him? No.
But stay or go, it's been fun. And football should, first...
