    [Travel] Record-breaking driver who drove length of Britain in nine hours should be prosecuted.

    I remember the old M4 challenge. The whole length ( 189 miles ) as fast as poss. Noel Edmonds averaged 140mph.

    [Football] Zidane

    Enjoys working ( at something he loves ) and wants to keep doing it as long as he is physically and mentally able. You have to keep going in life. Too many people wind down too early. They think all the rest and relaxation is good for them. It is better to maintain activity and keep that edge...

    Ah....but had any of them managed 7 cup finals and lost the lot?

    ....is the correct answer.

    [Football] Zidane

    You are dead right, it will never happen. Real only appoint winners. .....Jurgen ( P7 L7 ) Klopp has a helluva lot to prove yet that he is not a serial loser.

    [Football] Zidane

    Its ' Arry ' for me for Madrid. Ideal man to lick that squad of overpaid, underperforming and cheating ponces into shape. Only problem, could they afford him?

    Could see it happening. Could also see Chelsea having a sniff at ZZ.

    [Football] Great world cup moments

    The Carlos Alberto goal is the pinnacle for me. Nothing will ever come near the brilliance and exuberance of that side and that final goal just signed, sealed and delivered the perfect ending. They played football with a joy in their hearts and magic in their boots and should be held up for all...

    [Football] Salah/Ramos: Not sure this is going away.

    No, to be fair, one of the cleaning ladies did give the small memorial a polish this morning.

    [Football] Salah/Ramos: Not sure this is going away.

    Perhaps indicative of how much they have relied on Salah this season. Not dissimilar to the effect that Suarez had on them. Take either player out and there is a big difference. Take Ronaldo out of Madrid and they can still function in pretty much the same way.

    [Football] Salah/Ramos: Not sure this is going away.

    I doubt it as well. Had it not been 3-1, Bale would have squared to Ronaldo, for a simple tap-in ( it was obvious and foregiveable that he tried to get a hattrick ) They had the clearer chances. They had far more power on the bench and would have managed the game as the circumstances dictated...

    [Football] Salah/Ramos: Not sure this is going away.

    I cannot repeat what I said. Well, not before the watershed anyway.

    [Football] Blackburn, Wigan and Rotherham.

    It goes back to the Great Exhibition in 1851 ( at Crystal Palace ) when a pair of Golden Eagles where on display. Legend has it that the eagles escaped and lived wild in the locality for a period of time ( more rural then ). Hence the nickname developed from there.

    [Football] Blackburn, Wigan and Rotherham.

    Yes. Feel a bit sorry for Shrewsbury. So many Wembley heartbreaks.

    [Albion] Fulham at the Amex

    It doesn't matter when we play Fulham, we all know what is going to happen. They will totally out-football us in both games. They will score first in both games. They will miss clear chances and probably a penalty as well. We will get battered in both games. We will defend quite well in both...

    [Albion] Fulham at the Amex

    Yes it was and as usual, the sceptics claimed that there were a lot more inside the Goldstone.

    [Football] Blackburn, Wigan and Rotherham.

    Relegated from the Championship last season....all promoted back up at the first attempt. Doesn't happen that often ( does it? ) Blackburn were clearly a bit unlucky to go down with 51 pts and Mowbray was already starting to turn them round. Wigan also looked far too good for Div 1. Is the gap...

    I doubt it, after spending many years invading other people's privacy as a paparazzi photographer.

    [Football] CL Final FTA

    All the ex-pro's know that it happens all the time and is barely worthy of mention.
