I can answer the OLD and NEW question by stating Cardiff and Leicester, beyond that this feels like a lot of hard work. I didn't even know Doncaster weren't at Belle Vue any more :p Anyway I've been to see league / cup games at 48 different grounds, representing 44 different clubs, all of whom...

Man United, FA Cup 4th round, January 93, 1-0 Giggs curler from a free kick. To my memory we competed quite well against the eventual inaugural PL champions, in the way a third tier side would struggle to do so today. Remember bumping into Terry Christian on the train, who I think was also...

To be fair it was bad against us, but that looked like someone trying too hard to impress his former manager

I assume that Australia still has a constituency system? STV is better but not full PR is it?

PR will hurt the conservatives, that's just fact. It will hurt the Nationalist parties more, and Labour a little less. It will benefit the Libdems, Greens, Reform, UKIP and so on. It kills independents stone dead. All that is reality and i suppose acknowledging it at least can give a path to...

Always thought he had potential to be one of the worlds best and haven't changed my mind. Early days at Chelsea, but the stats are interesting. From that article: Tottenham's Vicario (77.8%) and Liverpool's Alisson (76.3%) are the only keepers with a higher save percentage in the Premier...

Mid Beds may be one of the most outstanding Labour by-election wins in their history. They shouldn't be winning there. It is symbolic of the Tories 'respectable' rural loyal core vote being disengaged. Abandoned. 'What's Tory about the Tories anymore' should be a bigger discussion than it is...

Tories are so f*cked

Guess we can be reluctant all we want, doubt he'll sign anything without a release clause. However i think Mitoma is one case that, even with a 2025 contact expiry (that's right, yes?) we could get top dosh for him next summer.

Clicks means cash!

What's with all the gossip threads on NSC at the moment? Napoli want Enciso, Liverpool like Estupinan, now Barca want Mitoma. All these players have their own main thread that the endless unsubstantiated gossip can be posted on.

I was born in 74. Never realised my name was that popular!

I thought we'd done this, the rule got changed so it can be handball if it comes off your body first. I didn't know that, as it seems, most pundits in the game also didn't. Here's a penalty Luton got against Wolves which wasn't overturned by VAR...

Hey, I'm not oblivious to it. That Hitler has a lot to answer for 😡 Although the idea of creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and the movement of jews to Palestine heavily predates WW2. That was just the catalyst to formalise it, and consequently, to raise tensions in the region. Its a...

RNLI, always, do such an amazing job. Otherwise, well, I run a wildlife charity myself so don't have a lot of spare cash lol

Our country really f*cked up when it created the state of Israel didn't it? Imagine how different the world would be if we'd found them a homeland somewhere in Europe or America instead, or we'd all just learnt to live in harmony again after the war. I dunno, but you can't help thinking that...

Yeah, understood - but my take home from your previous post was that Zionism can mean different things to different people, and you would like people to accept the Liberal Zionism viewpoint as the established definition. I accept your argument that that is indeed the case, especially within...

Number 2 sounds plausible

I have also wondered if it was an electric car - we just had this case in Cornwall where an electric van caught fire and burnt down the house it was parked outside: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-67020502 I am a big advocate of electric cars, so the manufacturers better bloody...

My understanding of Zionism when talked about in a geographical context, is that its not just the belief in a safe homeland for Jews, but the expansion of Israel to cover the whole of their 'ancestral homeland' (according to the bible) i.e. much of the Levant. This comes into focus when looking...
