    [Drinking] Wednesdat Whistle wetting warblings

    I am halfway through a socially distanced (by several hundred miles) Burgundy en primeur tasting. I have 42 bottles of samples of 2019 Burgundies to taste. They are only 20cl each but I have to make notes...

    [Drinking] Fridat Night drinkies

    Bolney are one of the few English (NOT British-that's a whole 'nother thing) that do reasonable reds. Their Pinot Noir is usually among the best red wines made in the country but only small quantities are made, the Lynchgate is more variable but in years like 2018 it can be really good.

    [Politics] Christmas TV 2020

    I can't wait. As a keen home economist my thoughts will certainly be turning towards Christmas 2021 as I baste the 2020 bird. And you can't beat a bit of Ainsley...he's such a character!

    Indeed. And then drove from his parent's home to Barnard Castle. Admittedly he claimed that this was in preparation for his drive home so perhaps his favourite song is "Preparing to Drive Home this Easter"?

    [Albion] Zonal marking v Man marking at set pieces

    I would also add that man-to-man wouldn't stop this. If Dunk was marking Westergaard, all it would need is a successful dummy or block and Westergaard is free and you get the same result.

    [Albion] Zonal marking v Man marking at set pieces

    You put your strongest aerial defenders in the most important/ dangerous zones. In the case of Brighton, Dunk, White and Webster were in the key defensive zones with Bissouma and Welbeck trying to cut off the whipped ball into the 6 yard box and occupying the forward zone. Connolly stopping the...

    [Albion] Zonal marking v Man marking at set pieces

    As a top coach, I introduced zonal marking for Linfield U16s almost 10 years ago. It worked very well (as long as everyone remebered what to do) - much better than man to man, particularly in games where it was more man to boy. I suspect the reason it gets used so much in the Premier League is...

    Man City 17/18 - 27 goals conceded, best in the league. Zonal marking.

    [Football] Where were you born (Sussex born people ignore this thread)

    Hmmm...the picture is building. We've had date of birth in "how many days old are you"; we now have place of birth. When is the "what's your mother's maiden name" thread going to appear? Washington DC - so now it would be DC United but not sure what it was when I was born. If it had to be a UK...

    [Football] Millwall fans covering themselves in glory again

    Booing black players because they are black is now socially unacceptable and may get you thrown out of the ground. Booing "taking the knee" allows racists (and the hard of thinking) to justify their racism with the ingenuous excuse of "'cos it's Marxism etc".
