Oh don't not see it based off this one grump's opinion! Sounds like you'd really enjoy it and would get a big kick out of the interviews with all the big hitters, and behind the scenes footage (there are some 'filmed on a handheld camera while they're actually shooting' clips so beloved of the...

I'm in a phase of one 'easy' book followed by one by an author I feel I 'should' read at least once, worthy or not. PD James didn't work for me but The Forsyte Saga is currently fantastic. I'm a "will not not finish" reader, but I will skim read like a mf if I can't bear it.

I rewatched Aliens the other night, and have finished their "Making Of...", a new-fangled extra. Oh how I wish it had been made by the Robocop guys. For a start, I'm not sure the film itself dates too well, what with the little girl and Ripley's mother/daughter issues; overall it comes out as a...

I was going to say, he was brilliant at free kicks. One game (v Southampton?), I remember they tried defending one of his free kicks by not making a wall at all, they seemed to have no effect. Tried in vain, I should obviously add.

I do, and now stand corrected twice :)

Agree on all points. Hope he stays though.

I've spun my own little story for each of these. Based on nothing but my own musings to make me feel better! Burn gave splendid and solid service, is a very nice bloke, and wanted to play for his home town club. A real shame, but no problem. Trossard threw a strop and seemed like a little sh*t...

I don't know what 'silly money' is, just that I'd've thought it'd be the only leverage left on our side. But then again, as @GT49er has pointed out, Dan Burn and Trossard wanted to go and we didn't put up too much of a fight. I stand very much corrected!

But if Gilmour wants to go and FH wants him to stay, then aside from spending a few weeks trying to persuade him to stay, Tony's last stand is to hold out for silly money, isn't it?

The weather always plays its part for both teams! But I like what you noticed - JPvH giving Milner a mouthful last week shows it goes both ways!

Maybe he was referring to some of our passing in the first half?! :)

Exactly. I've lost count of the times I've read a younger player praise him for helping them with this thing or that, be it the football or attitude. 22 years is bound to slow one down a bit and he won't do 90 mins too often anymore, but having him there amongst the youngsters (ie everyone else)...

Not a moan or anything, but I don't like Slow Horses.... I mention it only to perhaps find out what I'm missing. I read his first book but couldn't get on with it (the peculiar character names put me off from the start), but I did rather enjoy the season 1 performances on TV. Then I binged 2 and...

I had to read the caption twice as I was thinking "Bray Hill? They name their bikes?" Lovely pic!

Gosh I've got hers too! And Neil Adams, her beau at the time. Wow that's taken me back!

I use NSC much as I used to use Twitter, and indeed before Twitter even existed - see what people are talking about, see what people are watching, chuckle at some of the daft puns, then leave a tiny bit more educated* about our new left back or what Shane Duffy got up to last night in Pryzm...

Totally agree, and it's made 'worse' by being where we are at the moment, in that nearly every rumour might actually just be true. I think the first time I really wanted one to be true was Kanchelskis. Nowadays it feels like you have to be a connoisseur of all football everywhere to have an...

I can think of a few games last season where Beethoven's Sonata Pathétique would have been more than appropriate.

Nice one, I didn't know that (y)
