In Thatcher’s own words, her greatest legacy was Tony Blair and New Labour. Blair is the worst Prime Minister by miles because he abandoned most of the principles of the party he was leader of. I didn’t like any of the Tory ones but at least they remained true to Tory principles.

Evolve or die. The FA Cup has changed in several significant ways since it was established in 1871. Replays weren’t even in the tournament rulebook for the first season! BOTH teams progressed in the event of a draw. The cup holders once had a bye to the final. Penalties weren’t introduced until...

Stalybridge Celtic and Stafford Rangers are probably not quite top flight standard. If you mean the odious Glaswegian clubs - no thanks. They would ruin our league with their sectarian nonsense.

Apparently the default passcode on all Nokia phones is 12345. If that doesn’t work, I think you’ll need to contact Nokia customer support. However, their site seems to suggest they can’t help with forgotten passcodes. https://www.hmd.com/en_gb/support/nokia-3310-user-guide/keys-and-parts

Were Arsenal singing that dumb ‘stadiums are empty - everywhere we go’ chant today?

An ex g/f of mine decided she wanted to keep chickens in our tiny garden in central London a few years back. I said I thought it was a silly idea as there were so many urban foxes around. Four weeks later and our friendly neighbourhood fox is sleeping off a delicious chicken midnight feast...

Retire the stadium and turn it into a museum to Jude Bellingham.

Did we win the FA Cup?

Another time Adrian Morris’s investigative process has been called into question: https://www.gmb.org.uk/assets/components/pdf/brighton-sack-three-ground-staff-during-witch-hunt-over-team-sheet-social-media-leaks.pdf

Seema Misra, who was investigated by Adrian Morris and latterly convicted of false accounting and went to prison for 4 months after he gave evidence against her, is on 5 live now.

Half time pre-orders is something I’ve said we’ve need from the first season because the biggest reason for the slow service at kiosks is not the sever - it’s the dithering customers. The amount of people who get to the front of the queue without knowing what they want or adding to their order...

Great conspiracy theory, but Leicester themselves are facing charges for overspend last season and the two prior to that. https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11712/13106633/leicester-reveal-losses-for-2022-23-premier-league-season-amid-charges-for-breaching-profit-and-sustainability-rules

The next ball timewasting tactic will be asking the ref to check the ball because it is too flat. Leno and Martinez are probably working on ways to remove a little bit of air from the ball as the lay on top of it as we speak.

I’m sure I read a stat that teams are most vulnerable to conceding after just scoring themselves. I think, like most annoying things in football, it is partly cynical gamesmanship.

I ran Southampton Marathon to try something different. Nowhere near the level of Brighton Marathon in terms of organisation and support (most of the course was empty by the second loop as most runners were doing the half marathon distance). The two-lap structure also made it dull and running...

A change in the law that would allow the game to kickoff as soon as the team who have conceded have got the ball on the centre spot after a goal and all their players in their own half should be brought in. Let’s see how many corner flag self-aggrandising group hugs we see then.

Clearly written by somebody who needs a history lesson.

Didn’t hear a peep from them until they went 2-0 up.

If kids need bribery to get them to games then it’s not for them. I have been going since I was 7 and never needed any incentives. I suspect if I hadn’t just watched the game, I wouldn’t have been taken again.

Tom Pellerau lost 8 out of 11 tasks including his sole time as Project Manager and was still the winner because he had a product Sugar wanted a piece of - the curved nail file. The biggest joke was that the product Tom actually invented for investment was a chair that Sugar binned off in favour...
