Everton's problem is that their covid losses claim includes in the region of £100m for "a significant contraction in the transfer market which resulted in the inability to generate the level of transfer fees which could reasonably have been expected pre-pandemic." No other club made that claim...

I know. It's such fun watching the Spring Training baseball from Arizona when the MLB website quotes Eastern time, the Brewers website quotes Central time, and they play in Mountain time, and then half-way through March they change the American clocks so that some of those times change by an...

Charity shop. Especially if like me you only need it for a hospital stay. That's where they get most of their dressing gown sales.

Even if public transport is free, many people (those that can afford it) will still prefer to drive. Public transport can never match the convenience of a car. They would need to make car driving ridiculously expensive and would have to close half the roads for buses-only to make a big...

There were five ants went to hire a flat, but were turned down. So they found five more friends and then had no problem - they were ten-ants.

He doesn't. He gets down from a duck.

Unless they were storing other missiles at the hospital. I think we can be sure Israel didn't deliberately target the hospital. Unless they had another massive intelligence failure, it must have been a misfire from somewhere - unless Hamas did it themselves. Almost nothing can be ruled out.

Before the fuel crisis it cost about £20 to put the lights on for a PL game. (Might be a more for older light systems that don't have LED.) The saving isn't great.

Tesco would make more profit if every other shop went bust. Man City wouldn't. Even the richest PL clubs still have a tiny bit of residual knowledge that a strong lower league is better for the game.

England on VAR disallowed a winner for Burnley against Forest, for an imaginary handball. He didn't get a ban for that. This ruling makes it pretty clear to referees - get things wrong against Burnley (and I don't doubt Brighton) - no problem. Get things wrong about Liverpool - black books...

Not that small. If the choice is local league or nothing, there's a good chance that local league wins. If the choice is local league or Brighton on the telly, local league suddenly has a strong opponent.

I was in Israel in 2012 and Jerusalem was the capital then. Not sure that one can be pinned on Trump!

True enough. My house is 200 years old next year (well, half of it is) and I had to relay the whole roof a few years back. ;)

I don't quite see how Hamas can be keeping Islamic fundamental jihadistic terrorists from the borders. Hamas are Islamic fundamental jihadistic terrorists.

Professional offence-takers strike again. A tenuous and (as it turns out) imaginary link to a Jew in a Shakespeare play can't be a reason to sack someone.

Not enough pitches. If they used smaller goals, they wouldn't be able (at grass roots level) to share pitches with men.

Plenty of emissions from that electric vehicle! 😉

A rugby league player earlier this season got a red card and an 8 match ban for swearing at the referee. It genuinely doesn't happen often.

That's good news. It's nice to know that they were only shooting dozens of bullets into babies, and not beheading them. Seen the Daily Telegraph (and I dare say other papers) this morning?

When Hamas surrenders, then Palestine can get on with its life. Hamas is Nazi Germany, small scale. They kill Jews, they kill homosexuals, they kill anyone they don't like. they don't have elections, they continually run small scale (ie. omly murdering one or two) incursions and rockets...
