It's also great to get new players signed early so they can train and gel with the squad over the whole summer, and RDZ can work on/with them, rather than signing players on the last day of the transfer window who then need to spend several weeks 'bonding' with their teammates, adapting to our...

Yeah, Mrs Peteinblack has been suffering too

This glorious sunshine - forecast to last another couple of weeks at least - is being spoilt somewhat by a persistently strong chilly north-east breeze. The anticyclone bring this fine spell - and blocking the usual rain-bearing low pressure systems - is lodged north-west of Scotland, and...

A band who are renowned for their brilliantly satirical lyrics, wry social observations, and piss-takes of celebrities and ex-footballers, but who can also write some real lump-to-the-throat songs too. This one is about caring for a partner with Alzheimer's - but the end reverts to a rousing...

Beautiful melancholy

Ah, a fellow Sparks fan - seeing them do 'This Town Ain't Big Enough...' on TOTP in 1974, I thought "Brilliantly bonkers, but a one-hit wonder novelty record". I'm sure most people watching thought the same. Yet 50 years later, they're still producing fantastically quirky and...

My University has recently announced a 'strategic increase' in the recruitment of overseas students to be accommodated by reducing the number of 'home' students we recruit in future. Another predictable and lamentable consequence of turning universities into revenue-maximising businesses run...

They were what they were :thumbsup:

If/when she's sacked or resigns, she'll claim that she's the victim of a witch-hunt by the "Cultural Marxist liberal Establishment" and the "Guardian-reading, Tofu-eating, Wokerati" :shrug:

...for other people!

Maybe its not 'too small' but that what you're trying to push into the slot is too big :blush:

I had previously been hoping for 3 points tonight, but given that several key players are out injured, I'd settle for a point. I can't imagine Saudi United being as soft as Arsenal were.

One of my favourite political quotes: "“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are Conservatives..." (John Stuart Mill, mid-19th Century Liberal philosopher and MP)

Tories seem to be torn between advocating Euthanasia or
