1-5. Finally managed to NOT fvck up the pre-start and get away first, and did just enough - especially on the downwind legs - to stay in front. Don’t think Prada were overly fussed about letting one go, though. They only need to win 2 of the remaining 7 races, and are still comfortably on top...

0-5. Outfoxed in the pre-start, stung with penalties, and never in it thereafter. One more race to go this morning, but it’s as good as over. We’re just not competitive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Italians get their way. Racing starts again tomorrow, with no spectators. At 0-4 down, GB really need to win 3 of this weekend's 4 races to even stand a chance of getting back into this. Not holding out much hope, but will be up in time to watch Race 5 (7am here).

Agree about Rooney. If you look at his achievements on paper, that sounds ridiculous, given the titles he won and records he holds. But you’re right, his peak was around 18. The 2004 Euro Championships in Portugal he was outstanding, and looked like he could go on to be a true world star...

Couple of releases today I’m looking forward to checking out. The new Mogwai album, As The Love Continues... https://youtu.be/VWjzlJEmmxM And the second one from Cassandra Jenkins, An Overview On Phenomenal Nature. Her Laurie Anderson talk/sing style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but...

Moral of the story? If you're up for a scrap, head for the nearest fast food outlet...

These games are always a mix of eager, buzzing anticipation, with that touch of heightened dread at possibly loosing. The pulse beats faster, and the butterflies, well, flutter more. Bring it on. Just don’t lose! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here you go – Hart's Shirt's red scarf from that very day 35 years ago…

Thanks for the heads-up on this one, I watched it last night and it's a great story. Both hilarious and tragic at the same time. A lot of truth in how 'different' the 1980s were for children growing up, not necessarily specifically at Action Park, but just in terms of the era.

The obvious parallel for us in terms of “first name you want to see on the sheet” was Zamora in his prime. Always remember when he was out injured for a bit, and then unexpectedly came back earlier than planned for an away game at Peterborough. The buzz among the fans as word spread that day...

That was SO cold. I remember we ended up having to stand in a part of the terrace where one of the entrance tunnels was directly behind us, a few rows back. It meant the ice cold wind was being funneled through the tunnel and onto us like a knife. Bloody freezing. Sent from my iPhone using...

But surely evening games are perfect for a pizza delivery?

My pre-SatNav away game trick was drive to the town, and pull into the first garage I came across. Pop into the shop bit, and they were bound to have a local street-map guide on the shelves. Spend a couple of minutes perusing that to get an idea of where to head for the football ground, buy...

Blimey, £100k. Is that all? Barely seems worth all the effort and stress, does it. So Leeds should just up their offer to £25.1m, really. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On behalf of all expat Albion fans, yes. Midnight kick-offs are a pain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apologies for derailing the political bun-fight for a moment, but to go back to the original point of the thread... I voted worse off. Financially I’m probably marginally better off, but emotionally far worse (as my life as a Dubai expat worker with a family in the UK able to zip back and...

Now 0-4. GB messed up both today’s pre-starts, and Italy comfortably brought both races home thereafter. Hard to see a way back from here, with first to 7 going through to face the Kiwis. Massive disappointment, as we bossed the last round and looked set to reach the finals. Wednesday...

My wife and children will be watching The Masked Singer on the living room telly. I will be ‘shared family time’ live-Skyping them on my laptop during this, from 7000 km away, with the Albion simultaneously on my telly. It will be 2am by the time all this finishes. Sorted. Sent from my...

I broke the ‘collecting bin’ part off the front of my lawnmower once, so all the cuttings were just flying up in the air and then being left strewn across the lawn. A fair proportion of them ended up sticking to my legs, shoes and so on too. Took ages to clean myself up afterwards. Days...
