The phrase "you can't buy taste" springs to mind. Horrible, horrible design which, having lived in that part of London, I sincerely hope gets built so as to annoy the snobbish locals.

I think they'll be looking at Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986.

Burnley at home in our first season at the Amex, when we lost 1-0 with 9 men. I was so drunk I thought our second red card was a replay, even though I was looking at the pitch rather than the big screen.

American investors will be looking to get their money back via higher ticket prices - they will have looked at what West Ham are charging this season and wondered why Palace, in a similarly shabby part of London, are not charging as much. I don't take any joy in this - although I'll vigorously...

The main problems are that it rains a lot, we have fewer places to play, we watch too much TV and play too many video games, our coaching techniques are often in the dark ages, and we let big kids dominate at youth level rather than making them play against older kids their own size. This...

Villa signed three players called Jordan this summer. This suggest that their scouts have a basketball or glamour model obsession.

He was a partner (that might mean he was a consultant, rather than actually having a share in the partnership) so he was by no means a junior lawyer. He had also been headhunted by this US firm to set up their London office. I suspect they've got what they needed out of him and saw no reason to...

Our badge is pretty awesome, and I've always admired the simplicity of the Wolves badge. But Scunthorpe takes the day. It's the only badge that contains a particular rude word of which I am rather fond.

Wonderful description of Buzzfeed. On the bright side, this list of 18 places to drink does mean that the type of people who read that site, being sheep, are unlikely to venture elsewhere. The rest of us can therefore drink in (relative) peace.

I would love to play rugby against Boris. The fact that he fancies himself as a prop forward would provide ample opportunity to rearrange his spine.

I'm very pro-EU, but if anyone could convince me to leave, it would be her.

Even if we assume that there are 50 million in professional fees that would not get included in the cost of a private build, that is still 650 million pounds of public money on a stadium that, since work started on it in 2005, has been used for about 6 weeks. I think the media are doing sterling...

Went on Wednesday, was sat along the side of the pitch, at the front of the upper tier, and the view was similar to the back of the West Upper at the Amex - I suspect all the West Ham STHs will sit in the tens of thousands of seats along the sides rather than the ends behind the goals. On the...

Japan is definitely in the Northern Hemisphere.

He's much more entertaining than David Haye was with his silly decapitated Klitschko T-shirt.

Two games should not ruin it - we don't have as fragile a pitch as Wembley.

I've been debating this one since my first year of law school and I still can't make my mind up. I don't want people to suffer unnecessarily at the end of their lives, and I don't have any religious convictions that set me against the Bill, but on the other hand, I've seen the scale of...

Alexander Carter-Silk is sent a connection request by Charlotte Proudman (for her own benefit, given that he is a solicitor and therefore capable of sending her work) in which he (stupidly and unnecessarily) complements her on a photo: she finds that objectifying and offensive, so publishes it...

And while we're at it, surely something needs to be done about her name. Snow White is clearly exclusionary to those without a pale complexion...

This is an elected official who is refusing to follow court orders, and in doing so denying US citizens their constitutional rights. You have to be incredibly naive to swallow the line that she is some kind of martyr.
