While it can't be nice having to endure 30+ temperatures without aircon I've got to say you're lucky the humidity is so low. I imagine it'd be horrible/close to unbearable for most of Britain if it was 50%+

It's an interesting one. My initial response is to be against it or rather, like Farehamseagull think that it's a bit pointless at that age group. In Japan there's very little heading going on at U-12 and below although there's always one or two kids who love it but even then there's not a lot...

Is that 21% humidity?

What if you're not middle class?

I'm sure it's been posted before, I've probably posted it before, but bloody hell it's good enough to deserve repeat playings, That guitar!

32 and 62% humidity in Tokyo. Quite pleasant outside with a slight breeze.

I think the LCB and LWB/LB will be the same player. That's the only position I expect us to bring a player in for unless Clark shows himself to be a good enough CB and is capable of playing/filling in at LB. I think we have enough in the other areas to go with what we have. Unless we look...

And that's how she'll get capital punishment reintroduced.

I quite like the idea of a footballing version of parent teacher evening. but yeah, I mostly agree with what you say. In a parallel world there is a Guardiola whose first job wasn't Barca. That would be fascinating to see how things would have panned out. My bet is that he would have found...

The lower leagues are great for teams being crap one season and good the next. Cooper took over Forest in the relegation places and in the same season got them promoted. Poyet took over a team in or on the edge of the relegation places and 18 months later we had waltzed our way to the title...

If you don't value the champions league why do you value winning it? I am not and never have said that Guardiola will win a shed load of top trophies at any club. He will however improve significantly any club, IMO. His record speaks for itself. If it was so easy why are they more succesful...

Re Guardiola being in management as long as Ferguson, I think you're right. 40 years is an incredible length of time to manage at the top. As for Barrow. Yes, why not? Are you saying that Barrow have no chance of ever getting promoted as Champions with their current resources(whatever their...

So why are you bothered by how many champions league titles he has(n't) won for Man City? If he took over the team now? Yes. If he took over the team a few seasons ago, same budget but the players would presumably be different. This is not a slight on Potter by the way, who is proving to be...

Yet Forest only won the league once in those years. As for your comment about money, I don't disagree. It's debatable which club has the stronger squad( City did after all win the league without a striker) but again I don't disagree that Klopp is an excellent coach. I'm not sure what points...

Er, yes. Sir Alex was an outstanding manager too. But just for fun... Sir Alex had 50 trophies over a near 40 year career. Guardiola has 33 in 15 years. Including a club record 14 at Barcelona. But yes, Sir Alex was an outstanding manager just as Guardiola is.

The Champions league is a cup competition. It's open to the vagaries of a one off game. It's one of the reasons why Nottingham Forest have two European Cups to their names. Would he win the premier league with Brighton? Unlikely I would have thought, not unless the stars aligned like they...

You always need a relevant level of talent to be successful. I'm not and won't deny that. If he started in league two with an average team and scouting etc I am confident that he would eventually walk the league because he would acquire the requisite talent that he needs to. Poyet did it with...

So it's a recent addition. I'd love to know why they started adding it. Maybe I'll fly back specially for the pre season fans meeting thing and ask...

No to both. Football is now played based on possession. On keeping the ball. On playing out from the back. Defenders splitting at goal kicks. Goalkeepers being prized for their feet as much as their traditional goalkeeping? That's Guardiola's effect. How Brighton play? That's...

Maybe Poyet was very confident and persuasive?:) Do you know when the first time yellow appeared in one of our home kits? Is it something that has been going on for decades or is it a recent thing?
