He was bloody AWFUL at Newcastle yesterday, and has been a shadow of the player we saw banging in that hattrick vs Newcastle a year ago. Right now, he's just not cutting it. He needs to sharpen up if he's going to contribute this season. Being young isn't an excuse, we just cannot carry...

It truly is. A few years back, I lost a close friend to a brain tumour. She lived a healthy life, exercised regularly, ate all the right things, didn't drink excessively, and was a picture of health. Then one day, completely out of the blue, she collapsed at home. It was a stage 4 glioblastoma...

I'm guessing you're right, its very much at the judges discretion. This was going into the third week of what was (supposed) to be a 2 week commitment, although of course it all depends on how the current case was panning out. Once it became apparent we were all back again on Monday to continue...

Oh I absolutely had her guilty, she's an absolute LOON. Check out the article below. Here she is holding a vibrator to her crotch outside court. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/16175245.neighbour-hell-alexandra-al-capone-jailed-bottle-attack/ 3 or 4 of the other jurors didn't believe there was...

In my experience the 12 of us were selected at random, and then told by the judge in a pre-trial briefing that if we know the defendant then we MUST declare it. Then he went through the other rules (strictly no discussing the trial outside of court, no postings on social media, no on-line...

A regular haunt of mine when I worked in the Lanes - ahh, that famous spiral staircase. My company used to give everyone about £20 a month in Luncheon Vouchers (remember those ?), and as they were accepted at Uncle Sams, that was my go-to when I had a hankering for some beefy-cheese goodness...

We were reduced to 11 when one of the blokes with us doing jury service was allowed to leave, after the trial we were on went over into a 3rd week (we'd already sat on a couple of trials during the initial 2 week period). The guy was self employed and said it was costing him fortunes to be off...

I think The Detectorists has one of the finest endings to a comedy series ever. Its up there with Blackadder IMO (in a different way of course). Just superb writing.

I was, of course, kidding about the racist thing. I saw it in a US comedy series once.

Pretty sure you can duck it once if you have a reasonable excuse, but the second time, you gotta go. Alternatively, just tell them that you're a racist

Quite simple really. Football (mens) is the National Sport. It carries more weight, more history, and more fans than the rest of the sports you list put together. It means more to more people. As to the reason we haven't won anything, you're probably right. Had we appointed (say) Ancelotti...

That was a Q&A at a town hall in Pennsylvania. The music there went on non stop for 39 MINUTES with Trump shuffling around to it. I'm not kidding.

You're comparing the mens game to the womens though. They're almost different sports, with entirely different histories and a largely different following.

I aways call them the scotch. Its one of my foibles.

What exactly would be the point of International football if countries could buy, sell and trade players of whatever nationality, the same as club sides ? Unless I'm missing your point.

Which non-Brazilan have Brazil appointed then ?

Scotch, for sure. Can you just imagine the "bantz" from our clinically obese drunken drug-addled cousins from over the wall if we appointed one of their mediocre nonentities to manage England ? I'd just give up on the whole thing and walk away. I'm not overly happy with the appointment of TT...

I thought it was in tribute to Bobby Charlton. Which would be a really nice gesture, to be fair.

Scotch. I call them scotch.

Carsley is as Irish as Andy Townsend and Tony Cascarino. Like multiple others, he just played under a flag of convenience because he wasn't good enough for England. My grandad was scotch, but it doesn't mean I'm a fully paid up skirt-wearing caber-tossing haggis muncher.
