Missed the other thread - well covered in that one

I thought 3 and Hyundai had pulled their sponsorship - still on shirts today

MotD review of our perforyesterday performance We keep moaning about lack of striker but what was interesting was Shearer review on our final ball - “poor decision making and lack of quality” and showed examples from March, Macallister, Trossard and Maupay . So we are not giving ourselves the...

Didn’t realise he didn’t get booked

Just got back home and watched Sanchez ‘tackle’ on Diaz - at best you’d say clumsy but I still don’t see how he wasn’t sent off. Maybe goal being scored saved him. Otherwise we’d have been down to 10 and missing Sanchez for ? how many games for second red of season.

No, no, no - it’s a great film - the likes of Judas Priest, Saxon, Scorpions refused to like it as it was based on them

I read manure offered him better contract = more money, he will have better path to first team here but who knows how much more he is being offered

Agreed but original comment was on petrol / diesel distribution (and refining) and why we pay so much at the pump where there is very little money to be made in the market sector. Shell are probably the world leaders in gas exploration especially since they bought BG Group 5 years ago

Not defending Shell but the profit margins in refining and fuel distribution is close to didly squat - most of what we pay at pump is tax. I don’t think She’ll or BP have any refining capability in uk anymore.

Indian cooking had no chillis until the Portuguese bought them to India in the 16th century Vindaloo is a Portuguese dish (meaning something like pork in wine), Tikka Masala is a Scottish dish (meaning something deep fried)

Good points, that’s why the majority of people in the UK technically don’t have a vote as first pass the post means thoughts living in safe seats (either party) effectively have no vote - eg Horsham where the Conservatives could put up anyone and they’d win. This means that really <20% of...

Was just chatting about this last week. If we really want to improve the quality of how this country is run we need to get the best people to run it - not average journalists. So I’d put in rules - minimum age (you need wisdom), had to have done a proper job (not worked in politics your...

As POC/IOC have bottled it we now need all the athletes to refuse to play them in any completion - unfortunately most events are solo type runs. Imagine if all the skiers refused to take part then POC/IOC would have to react

At long last

What’s an ‘English pound’, must have missed the rest of the UK leaving Sterling

Needles ain’t that bad - roughish for Horsham but mild compared to most council estates. My neighbour asked the local police about rough areas in Horsham - he was coming down from London and was laughed out of police station. Important location is the age of any kids you’ve got and whether...

I remember a player (played for Southampton in 1980s) scored 4 goals in a game in a 2-2 draw

Every club in the world has early leavers, especially when you go 3-0 down at home, playing rubbish football and crap weather. I was on a coach so unfortunately wasn’t able to leave early (and I meant half time not when the third went in), so had to suffer the whole game. Anyway I’ll ask...

Knowing that of all our defeats this meant a lot to one of my friends. Lifelong Burnley fan, it was his 60th birthday yesterday and he was at the game with his whole family (all Burnley fans), if we had to lose at least he got a break birthday present

Yes, two or three nice touches - just needs more game time
