Most likely explanation here is that your mum misheard the phrase as a youngster and then didn't want to admit she was wrong. "Spitting image" dates back to at least the 1880s and has nothing to do with "splitting". https://www.etymonline.com/word/spitting%20image

This always annoys me too. I'd much rather hear the crowd noise and commentary, even if the latter isn't in English (in fact, now that I think about it, especially if the latter isn't in English). Even if I liked the music, I'd prefer not to have it on these videos. But it just so happens that...

This is the key thing for me. I don't want him to be forced to stay, I want him to be convinced to stay. But if we can't convince him, then so be it -- he's been magnificent and deserves all our best wishes.

I suspect that, sometimes, when an agent wants to engineer a move for their player, they specifically claim we're interested in order to create the impression among other clubs that "this player is probably better than you think; if Brighton's data says he's good, we should be looking at him"...

We haven't signed anyone in DAYS, this is unacceptable

For me it was probably the Kanchelskis rumour.

I honestly don't feel too bad about yesterday's loss. Spain were clearly the best team at this tournament. There's no shame in finishing runners-up to them. The delayed Euro 2020 still rankles more with me, because we were the best team in that tournament and failed to win it by the smallest of...

I hold a lot of contempt for men who justify their violence by saying "look what you made me do". I also hold a lot of contempt for states that do the same thing.

I don't think you've grasped the point I'm making

We've not been great to watch this tournament, but we're in the final anyway. I genuinely think we were the best team at the last Euros, but we failed to win it; maybe this time we'll win it despite not being the best team at the tournament (which this time is Spain). As for Southgate, you...

I feel like this makes RDZ's comments even worse somehow. I'm not sure why I feel that way, though.

Meaning no disrespect to the Bundesliga, I feel like it's a more "striker-friendly" league than the Premier League. Look at how many Harry Kane scored last season -- he scored a lot in the Premier League, but he's found goals even easier to come by in the Bundesliga. When you consider that...

I honestly don't know how to answer this question right now. As someone else said, this season could be anything. I'm surprised to see us so active in the transfer market - our team will look pretty different next season, and of course we have a new manager and that's always a "could go either...

How does something become an "interest story" though? Who decided that the Reform Party doing well in this election was more "interesting" than the Greens doing equally well?

Greens and Reform have the same number of seats, but one has its own entry on the BBC results tracker and one is lumped in with "Others". Bet you can guess which is which.

I recall some people were surprised with Estupinan being Cucurella's replacement. We don't really know how any of these moves are gonna turn out, but I tend to assume in cases like this that there's something in the club's data that we don't know about. Maybe we've figured out that he'll shine...

I don't mean this as a dig (fwiw I think you're being a bit harsh but I see where you're coming from), but I'm sure people used to say exactly this about Solly March.

He is 69 years old. How is that middle-aged? Are you expecting him to live to 138? So tired of morons trying to turn everything into some kind of culture-war bs.
