Hopkins speaks: small (if any coverage) of it in media. Perhaps a lack of attendance is picked up on and used to frame her as a bit if a tragic figure Hopkins is prevented: definite coverage in media, Hopkins seen as relevant as she is causing a reaction. If I didn't like Hopkins and wanted to...

the great thing about the Championship is that each game has huge potential. Not always fulfilled, but it's there. Much of the Premier League is either not being thrashed by a top 6 club or trying not to lose versus a mid/lower table team. The irony of Sky pundits complaining about teams being...

Hawksby and Jacobs are good, Colin Murray used to be. Jim White is Sky personified. What I find amusing is how they cannibalise the same 3/4 ex-players who work on the station as somehow relevant to clubs they once played for if that club is in the news. Few of them have any real insight into...

the points about substitutions are interesting. I either read or heard on the radio a discussion about subs, apparently the 80-90 min mark is a real red zone for some players. If you're managing any injury it's around this time that it can be triggered. It also depends on the type of player you...

The pitch looked very heavy (on the tv at least) last night, really empties the legs if those were the conditions. Perhaps this made a difference?

Thought the buyer has remained anonymous what I've heard (chaps on the radio) suggest it's a Middle East buyer, there's a Louvre in Dubai now so it could end up being located somewhere similar?

I've got a couple of boxes of them which I can't bring myself to give away. I stopped buying it when the cartoons all started getting very 'samey', perhaps they had fewer people doing them. Prior to that they had a wide array of contributors with some up there genius moments. The Letters Page...

Often they list the teams who finished 17th and thus safe along with their points and state these are the number needed. But in order to finish 17th you only need to be a point ahead of 18th, and this can skew things. Take last season, Watford finished 17th on 40 points, but 35 points would...

I pop in for the odd bet and I've noticed the terminals attracting a very zealous type of gambler. In some places you'll note the staff keeping tabs on whose coming in and trying to slink onto them (presumably banned customers trying to come back in). I've sat and been reading the Racing Post...

I think Dyche might have to change the way he plays if he was to move to a club like Everton. It would also be interesting to see him at a club with a lot of cash. That said I'd prefer it if he stayed!

Gary Neville made a couple of good points last night, the first that anyone expecting a goalfest was deluded. Newcastle aren't exactly exciting, so it was going to be a difficult one for the neutrals. The second was to applaud the defensive organisations (of both teams). It might be that he was...

The religious context needs a bit more unwrapping, as much as it is about theological differences the real issue was less about church dogma and really how it played out on the political landscape of the time. In short Catholic Europe vs Protestant England. The Armada was still fresh in the mind...

Bit of a bugbear of mine, the idea of protein=grow bigger is highly simplistic. If you are at that stage in training where you think you need protein powder the chances are you don't. It's much the preserve of elite athletes, you can easily get the protein you need for training from a decent...

A lot depends on injuries, the smaller clubs don't have the resources or appeal to get someone in if there's an injury or two. I remember when we went down one season we failed to get anyone in on the January transfer window, Sunderland were near us but could afford to spend 80k a week on Defoe...

ah - I see! thanks for the heads up (even though it did go over my head)..

wasn't at the game but the goal you conceded came from an uncharacteristic error from Bruno, not sure you can blame Hughton for that?

Merson's there to deliberately get names wrong, squeal and play up to the caricature of himself he's developed. At best it's just a bit embarrassing.

The main protagonists were Cheney and Rumsfeld apparently, Bush wasn't really in on any of it and they kept him away from the main decisions on the day and following days thereafter. Bush Snr had real issues with how the two acted and set themselves up during the whole situation.

This is the most plausible of any CT theory I've come across. The idea that it was allowed to have happened. You don't need lots of people in the know, just a few very isolated folk in specific places asked to focus elsewhere etc and who won't be aware of the bigger picture forming. You've the...

I remember something about this, a large WW2 bunker under the green?
