Just been linking a few items together after a recent trip to Korea where I had a conversation on their depopulation issues with their fertility rate dropping to <1 for divert woman (sustainability rate is 2.1). Followed up by a number of YouTube videos and articles - is this now a big crisis...
Dear font of all knowledge, the Mrs and I have decided we are going to do a drive holiday down to Annecy / French alps regional (have a week there) then instead of heading straight back we’d drive into Germany and have 3 or 4 nights in a couple of places on the way back to the channel. So I’m...
I know someone will know. How many tickets have to be sold before ticket exchange is open. Currently over 200 still for sale but all are single seats (not much use when your going together)
Now the transfer window has closed who do you think will be the relegated teams. For me it’s Everton (sold their best player), Southampton (no striker of note) and Leicester (Needs Vardy to be outstanding or no goals), pushed hard by Brentford (Toney will be a big loss and his replacement out...
I need help on wisdom on NSC - we are heading to South Africa to a wedding later this year 4hrs south of Jo’burg but will be staying in the city for night of arrival and 2 before we fly back. How bad is the situation in J’burg, any tips / recommendations on where to stay (we’ve been told best...
Did we set a record for the number of teenagers (and or u21s) this season? I make it 8 played as teenagers: Colwill, Ferguson, Enciso, Sarmiento, Ayari, Buonanotte, Moran, Hinshelwood, With 6 others Gilmour, Caicedo, Van Hecke, Lamptey, Offiah, Peupion, being 19/20/21 at the start of the...
Anyone on NSC invested in whisky casks, if so any tips. I’m reading that you can make 8-10%/annum which is a lot better than anything else I’ve got. But I’m worried of charlatans / pyramid schemes / it being sold several times etc
Go on then admit it which of you had the dodgy bet with some Far Eastern bookie that game would be cancelled in 2nd half so then sneaked in to trip the lights to make sure you won
Just got back from a fantastic gig watching Placebo at Brighton Centre. Been on a bit if a run having seen Clutch on Wednesday and The Pretty Reckless the week before But placebo knocked both of them out of the park
Watching post match interviews (can’t remember if it was bbc or sky) after Leeds win on Saturday - it was interesting to hear Jesse Marsch state it was completely acceptable for the Leeds fans to boo them when losing 3-1, wonder if Mr Potter heard that
So beautiful day, we decided to go with friends to Shoreham Harbour beach this evening - didn’t expect to have entertainment. It wasn’t that busy but a few families doing the same as us, having bbq, kids in harbour with paddle boards etc. anyway 50yds down the beach from us a couple (in 40s...
Is our team getting so strong that the unthinkable at the start of this season may happen next season in that Lewis Dunk is our ‘weakest’ first xi player - is that not a real positive statement of what we’ve become - I’ve based this on team of:
Sanchez
Lamptey
Cucurella
Webster
Dunk
Mwepu...
FourFourTwo has done a survey across EFL top 10 players - so as we can’t afford EPL players (in fact have we bought a first team player from another premier league team? Lamptey being an u23). So should we go shopping for any of these - don’t watch that much championship at present so not the...
Just got back home and watched Sanchez ‘tackle’ on Diaz - at best you’d say clumsy but I still don’t see how he wasn’t sent off. Maybe goal being scored saved him. Otherwise we’d have been down to 10 and missing Sanchez for ? how many games for second red of season.
I don’t know if was just me and those next to me but it felt (especially in the first half) that we were playing a much more direct game with balls over the top- maybe a new tactic specifically to work on their weaknesses?
Just seen that Leeds win today leaves the bottom 3 on 10/11 points and Watford on 13 points. Is it really possible for 2 of them to get C30 points to meet the magical 40 or will say c32points be enough? If so we only need 5 points from 19 games
Just heard Tuchel post match whinge about injuries and too many matches. I’m bored of listening to the elite coaches go on and on about number of games and days apart - you’ve got large enough squads use them. They’ve got better squads than the rest, better u23s than the rest so just get in...
