All sorted by more stringent penalties for knife carrying. I and many others don't feel the need to do so....so why are so many youngsters doing it?.....because its status orientated amongst their peer group. They are under no more threat than elderly people or any other group. Re-classify them...

" There is an inch of difference between the Tory party and the Labour Party but it is within that inch that we all live " ( Richard Neville...Oz co-founder )

You know the saying...... First half belongs to the players....second half to the manager.

How are they going to judge ' progress ' His predecessor only won the Champions League, Super Cup, World Club Cup and reached a number of Cup Finals, unluckily losing two on penalties.

My three favourite TV shows were.....Jim 'll Fix It....The Rolf Harris Show and It's A Knockout.

David Ornstein ( The Athletic ) " Chelsea hierarchy intend to judge Graham Potter by years, not months or games. CFC expects progress but giving the 47 yr old significant time. Joining new project mid-season, ongoing re-build, injuries and youth drive mean job seen as safe + long term " So...

I have to say that corner was a classic. Everyone up in the box. Away fans excited , only to see it dribble behind the goal on about the third bounce. I loved the way Solly examined his boots afterwards.

Another misguided marketing decision. Lilt is a strong and distinctive brand name and had a stand alone identity. Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit will get lost amongst the Fanta and Tango ranges. They keep doing it. Tango Cherry became Tango Dark Berries not long ago. Just leave be.

Likewise the three straightforward chances that Mac missed, that should have put us out of sight.

The PL has become a vehicle for six clubs to enjoy the spoils, get stronger and stronger, more elitist and more self-entitled. They have a 15-20 year start on most of us, building up a global fanbase, buying the best players and earning fortunes from European competition. Only mega wealth ( e.g...

Got hit up the arse in a three tonne truck by a young guy doing 60-70mph on a major A road. It was enough to send me hurtling, out of control, towards the middle intersection. It wasn't the standard metal barrier but a concrete wall. Everything seemed to slow down and in the split seconds before...

There has been enough fruitless river searching now to realise that she didn't fall in the water. She would have been found well before now, bloated and floating. All points to a self-induced disappearing act or abduction.

Do you remember just before the rivalry sparked off. Under Peter Taylor Mk1 we played Palace on the opening day ( think it was 75/76 ) and 26,000 rocked up to the Goldstone. I think Ian Mellor got the only goal. Huge number of Palace there that day.

Detest the ugly atmosphere. The simmering undercurrent of hate. As a mature, pre-rivalry fan, don't get wrapped up in it as much as many others, including my son. Now regard the enemy as the Greedy Six. They are raping and pillaging football, playing scant regard to the precious pyramid...

According to reports that is why the deal eventually broke down. Arsenal had been ' at it ' for weeks. Shaktar said that they had been negotiating directly with the player. They got thoroughly pissed off with the whole situation and as Chelsea were prepared to do business through the proper...

I give those dogs a wide berth. If I am being approached by the archetypal yob, heavy chain and slavering animal wrenching his arms off, I try and cross the road or let it pass with some width. If that is not possible I feel uncomfortable and feel myself bracing for something. I mentally start...

We are in the top 5 countries in Europe for fatal dog attacks ( against humans ) since 1995. The number is increasing significantly as certain breeds have gained in popularity. A 2021 study showed that the numbers of fatalities are a very small tip of the ' dog attack iceberg ' Every dog is a...

My favourite is Middle Bacon, which gives you the best of both worlds, a flavour somewhere between Back and Streaky and an eye from the back of the pig and a fattier tail from the belly. Price wise it is pitched between them but not as widely available as it used to be.

According to Carlos Tevez, Buonanotte could be quite something.

Geez...why is it all about Arsenal and Chelsea? There are bigger clubs out there who will be watching the situation and preparing bids in the summer ( more hand rubbing from TB )
