Just about every line in this is the best.

Might be fun if it could be used like a raffle or lottery. So owning the bit of turf from which Enciso used his foot-like-a-traction-engine against City won you a prize. Could be one moment per game. Not sure what moment it’d be for yesterday though.

One other consequence of this (maybe) is fewer Gatwick trains stopping at Clapham too. I regularly get the Eastbourne line back from Clapham Junction and there are periods of the year and times of day when any service that stops at Gatwick is almost impossible to get on due to the large numbers...

The efforts of the club to get some songs going appears to have take a troubling turn

I’ve worn Altra Lone Peak for a while now - they’re too cushioned to be truly barefoot but are zero drop and wide toe box which alone makes the a big difference https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/lone-peak-8/ The reason zero drop takes getting used to is your ankle and joints have to adjust to...

Yep - took me a while to adapt but I love it now. I used to do a lot of trail running (Moyleman marathon being my last "big" run a couple of years ago) and now mostly go shorter, still on the hills, just for basic fitness. I did the Moyleman in the barefoot type and phasing in to adjust was...

I don't use home delivery (I would, but my wife doesn't want to!) but during very heavy snow a few years ago I watched a Tesco, then an Asda home delivery truck turn around rather than try and get through our road which at that point had only had foot traffic along it. An Ocado delivery truck...

I had this off and on for YEARS what solved it was two things: a plantar fasciitis boot (you can find them on Amazon) worn at night. It's a bit clunky to get used to at first but works wonders. Exactly the same principle as the Strassburg sock others here have suggested. I recommended it to a...

There's a lot of games where I'm grateful to have inlaws in the midlands as a base to make travel easier, tying it in with a duty visit so everyone is happy - Leicester, Villa, Wolves, Forest, the Manchester and Liverpool clubs are all within a couple of hours, Sheffield too last season. Still a...

Oops

When I lived on Norton Road in around 2002 I’d see him frequently enough in the Blockbusters opposite Hove Town Hall when I’d nip in that we got on nodding terms after he asked me what I thought of a film I’d returned. Up until the last year or two his wife had a fashion design space she used in...

A few years ago Guy Ritchie did a Nike advert that was (IMHO) much better than the usual: He's now done a boxing promo that is...interesting. Would like to see his take on cricket or rugby or cycling next, I reckon all could be great for a different take.

Can you provide some examples of people not being allowed to think something and how they are stopped from thinking it? If reading minds is a woke super power I need to up my organic muesli intake. Also people can say whatever they like, they just have to be prepared for being socially...

Saw a guy at the weekend with what I assume was a knock-off, the thin stripes inside the blue were paler and didn't fade as much towards the top as on every other shirt being worn around. Other than that it was the same as others though including sleeve badges as far as I could see. The...

I was really taken aback a few years ago meeting someone who supported Ronaldo, not a team, not even whoever he was playing for, just him. This feels a bit similar and I guess comes from your hero being involved in a sport you love but for teams you have no emotional or geographical investment...

I've paid more for Mini Exile to go to concerts than I have for me - £220 her most expensive ticket so far, but for myself it was probably our recent semi final against Man United. I wasn't sure I could go until the last minute and paid more than I'd have wanted to as not many seats were left by...

Apologies if fixtures but it made me a little bit happier than I already was.

Hard to see from my seat but I think it was him celebrating Rice being sent off by trying to get us all cheering (though I don’t think we could see there was a potential red at that point)? He also, I think, went down injured at one point when Arsenal were attacking, and jumped up when the ref...

I’m sure early last season Gross got booked at Wolves for kicking the ball away to delay a free kick. I don’t remember us seething on the day but definitely the fact it stopped being applied within a couple of games caused some perturbance!
