9 pages and no moaning about the D/L calculation. Just because none of us understand how to calculate it doesn't mean it must be right. It clearly needs revising for 20/20 and I'd be amazed if it isn't. Set less than half the total with just one over less than the total overs, an extended...
How busy is it likely to be? Would walking up and paying on the night be straightforward or would it involve much queuing? Didn't look overly crowded on the TV last week.
I went to this game but remember very little other than losing 3-1 and getting on the wrong train home (it seemed like it was going in the right direction but then set course toward Horsham) The main thing that has stuck in my mind to this day was the intimidating atmosphere and near the end of...
Got there at 1pm that day to 'help' (get in free) my mate who helped match days in the West Terrace seated area (Bill, who often calls the phone in these days) We both worked in East Croydon back then and know a Spurs supporter at work who had told us that they had been buying up tickets for the...
For those that think its a done deal you can have 6/4 against it happening on Betfair at this very moment. Recent results and performances have been more positive, or at least we haven't looked a bottom 4 side - today nothing went right for us. Its easy to look at the table after a 0-4 and...
Haven't done any extensive research but I don't think that can be true. I think Sony BMG own all 3 charted versions and Cohen would have got the songwriting royalties. Cowell would only have got a cut out of the Alexandra version.
Its a bit much to call the No.2 part of Simon Cowells stable. It was an anti X Factor attempt driven from Facebook to try and oust Burkes version from being the Christmas No.1. Started well too late to derail it, with a bit more advanced planning it really could have done. With a bit of luck and...
Agree that Adlington ticks all the boxes over Hamilton. The big negative though that you can't ignore is the prospect of the split Olympian vote. Its a complete 3 horse race with 2 of them Olympic Gold medalists. Without Hoy on the shortlist, she would be as good as past the post.
Thats interesting Mtoto, whats caused Adlington's price to shorten like that? Can't view Betfair at work, wondered if the Exchange forums knew anything. Would love to see her win, its not like she had the best motorised float to win her gold medals - 100% pure physical ability in a highly...
Lots of good choices there. Like PeteinBlack I saw the Jam at the Top Rank Suite which must have been 1977. I'd previously been to see the Rolling Stones at Earls Court and remember thinking the Jam had been the better live group. Whats seems quite amusing is that when Weller broke the band up...
Not just more matches, but more subs get on than in Moores day which inevitably means more caps so don't think the amount of caps makes anyone necessarily better or belittles achievement. Can't argue with Beckhams cap haul up to now but can't see last nights appearance with 3 mins to go was...
you live a shelterd life then
Urban Dictionary: window
From what I've read on here and from those I've spoken to, there were about 95% of us leading sheltered lives up to last week!
I've a pretty good attendance record for big Albion games down the years so not being at Hereford is the stand out for me (went on Peter Wards debut 20 years earlier) The shameful reason at the time to almost quote Micky Adams is that I'd lost the faith! My mates were going, my football team at...
Hull would have been bigger than 14-1 on the Exchanges more like 20 plus to beat Arsenal before kick off. I do know that when Arsenal were 1-0 up Hull traded at 600 and were matched for small money! Not saying you would have expected it mind but that price was way too big.
Not for one minute questioning your allegiences on the night Harty, but did you have any mixed feelings as I seem to recall City are your 'other' team?
Plus, if you want some negativity, I was given tickets in H Block with my youngest son, the inevitable result of which was the City supporters...
