Yeah, I am annoyed at Mark Beard for that, as much for the player as for the club. It highlights that there was an issue that the club felt was bad enough to let him go over, even if Mark Beard felt it was a harsh way to deal with whatever happened. It’s clear it wasn't a case of not being...

Looked to be trying too hard, and I remember a shot he took that went off target seemed to drain him. He looked the better prospect than Connolly in academy games, both lads perhaps not mentally ready, but in different ways.

Suggestion here that he was more moved on than poached? No detail, but I can only imagine it was not to do with his ability as a player. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/toby-collyer-man-utd-casemiro-29853180 Does Mark Beard have an axe to grind?

As the sun rises always in the east and is visible for longer or shorter periods of time as you move north or south, it proves the earth is spherical. Try and imagine how you would achieve a long period of daylight in the north at the same time as a short period of daylight in the south with a...

If it was a disc, you would get elliptical shadows most of the time with a lunar eclipse, but we see a circular shadow every time, from anywhere on earth.

The same way I know it isn't sausage shaped.

No, you can observe lunar eclipses from all over the world, and always see a circular shadow, therefore the earth is spherical. You can navigate the surface of the earth and prove to yourself that it is a globe. You can observe the sun, its rise and fall, and the changes to that over the year...

There is zero probability that the earth is flat.

Gillian Anderson, was and is a crush for me, though her playing Margaret Thatcher took it down a notch.

This is correct though, these are the UEFA places available for finishing in those positions.

Freedom of speech has always had limits, the limits may have moved a bit, but most people can express their feelings without saying anything illegal.

Yes it is easier, and it's definitely a draw for some. Dodgy employers you see. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1578178/Illegal-immigrant-found-cleaning-Commons.html https://www.myhrdept.co.uk/latest_news/illegal-immigrant-found-working-in-commons/

No, his assister ran towards him, and Cashman ran away from him. I don't like that.

Pizza delivery would require a hefty tip though.

China would Nuke Russia for destroying its customer base.

You can't discern who someone will be for the rest of their lives, on one act aged 12. We know nothing about the circumstances, nothing about these kids, but let's say they are without redemption and lock them up for 20 years or more. Doesn't seem to work in most of the US, not as a deterrent...

"I could hear his gingerness in my head" gave me a proper giggle, thank you.

I didn't quit, but the most painful read ever for me was Moby Dick. Like many games of football, a promising first half, followed by a second half that was incredibly dull and painful to get through. My daughter had to read "Emma" for A-level English, and hated it. She would complain about it...

On a tangent, I once saw The Rt Hon Kenneth Clarke KC get on the bus at Kennington Oval.

I was told once, by someone who should know, that Traffic Police on the Motorway travel at 60 to 65 mph, because if they travel at 70mph, most people won't overtake them, and traffic will back up behind them.
