I won’t feel confident of avoiding that until @Giraffe sorts out the tracker for this table.

Decent reason to give neither. It was inconclusive whether Hinshelwood got a touch on the ball = no pen. Villa defender’s arm in a natural position when the ball struck it = no pen. Decent refereeing IMO.

Arm was in natural position.

Didn’t have a ST. Was 15 at the time but did a few trips up on the old B&H double deckers with a friend. Not sure what was worse, the football or the long wait before the game. IIRC the buses were scheduled to give people a bit of drinking time before the game. Only if you were 15, there...

That’s where a shin pad should have been. One of my modern football bugbears. My Brian Robson sondico shin pads would have left a dent in the post and I wouldn’t have felt a thing.

If that price being suggested makes it easier to keep one/any/all of Mitoma, Pedro, Van Hecke or Baleba, then I would consider it good (albeit not ideal) business. I would love to go into next season with an unchanged squad (perhaps a new CB), but I don’t think it will happen.

From experience (I miscalculated my drive time somewhat) they have stewards at the entrance around 2 and a half to 3 hours before kick off. It certainly wasn’t less than 2 and a half hours before kick off, and I was one of the first cars in.

Fair play to him for doing the quiz when it’s in his second language. Can’t be easy, but doesn’t take himself too seriously.

I can confirm exactly this. My leaf is 11 years old and going strong. Hardly spent anything on maintenance on it. Over half of cars here in Norway are EVs now, and the oldest left on the road are this make and model. It’s got no value apart from the miles the battery has got left, and I think...

I watched it pretty much in one go. It is a brilliant, and more than that, important piece of television. I’m a secondary school teacher and see signs of this kind of behavior quite often. I have pupils in my form group that show some dominant behavior patterns that pop up on tik tok. I have...

Wahey! Good point earned. But perhaps more importantly taking two points off (dare I say it) a rival for a European place.

In 1989 when I was 7 I promised my parents at Arundel Wildfowl Trust that if they bought me the soft toy gorilla I liked in the gift shop I would look after it forever. Still sits at the back of my wardrobe.

What have you ever done? He’s thrown a kettle over a pub!

That was a terrible, awkward watch. Zelenskyy utterly ambushed and bullied by two clowns. You could see him visibly getting upset the more shite those two spouted. It will be very interesting to see the reaction by other heads of state now.

neither team deserved to lose. In the first half we were sumptuous. In the second we dug in. Fabian got most things right, again. I am enjoying Diego Gomez.
