My wife and kids went to Edinburgh last week for a few days and I basically just spent every evening raiding the fridge and cupboards eating anything and everything that wasn't nailed down. Jar of open gherkins that haven't been touched for a couple of years? That'll do nicely, now where are...

Exactly this, there is nothing wrong with getting to and from the Amex by public transport and it compares pretty favourably with other PL clubs: Villa Park: awful last week, took 90 minutes to get back a train back to New Street, but never had any major problems before Liverpool, Everton, Man...

We started a complete re-watch of all the films in chronological order, as happens on screen, a few weeks back in the run-up to this release. What I found was that Eps I-III remain as awful as I remember. There's a kernel of a story somewhere, but everything is so dull: the characters, dialogue...

We need a twist. Rey is the Emperor incarnate, which explains her Force strength, and her fight with Kylo Ren at the end is actually flipped and he's trying to save the day. The grandson of Anakin Skywalker is the ultimate hero, finds redemption and hence the line of Skywalker is risen once...

Train wasn't much better. Had a 45-minute wait at Witton before being told by staff that due to a problem it'll be another hour from where we currently were in the queue. Brisk 20-minute walk to Aston station and only just made our 18.30 back to Euston. Basically took 90 minutes getting to New...

Yep, I said at the time that Potter made a mistake here in not making an instant change. As admirable as wanting to keep two strikers on was, it was clear that Burn was suddenly massively exposed with our very narrow three in the middle and all the Villa attacks at the end of the first half were...

Has there ever been a scheduled TV kick-off in this country later than 8.15pm? Just bizarre.

Oh god, the repetition! He's unbearable as it is, but once you notice how he repeats every single thing he says it just makes me want to rip my scalp off (I have no hair to tear out).

On the second gif, the women's face at the bottom just to the right of the TOT!

One point gained. Despite our dominance we never had the lead so were never in a position to lose two points. Yes, we should have been in front, especially in a truly astonishing first-half performance, but scoring goals is the hardest part of the game and we came up short yesterday. Burnley was...

My mates got me a signed Kerry Mayo (unused substitute) away shirt for my 30th birthday a few (ok, many) years back. Got it framed and hanging up in a games room of sorts. The frame's probably worth more than the shirt. My in-laws have got a manky scrap of paper framed and hanging on the wall...

I bet you're the sort of person that says "another thing coming" as well.

I agree. I hope I don't forget to set my VHS video home system to record it. Might even put in a fresh E180 Scotch tape if a get a new multi-pack on Christmas morning.

We stayed at Hard Rock for one night this summer to take advantage of the two-day pass deal as Bozza suggests. Was really nice, a very pleasant 10-minute walk to the parks and you can get a Fender and amp delivered to your room (for a $1,000 deposit and if you don't have two over-excited kids...

The thing with beer prices is that no one bats an eyelid paying a premium for decent wine, whisky, vodka or whatever, but £6 for a pint and people run a mile. We've got to get out the mindset of chucking as much cheap lager down our throats as possible (although there is still a time and place...

I'm on 23 years, but past four have been editing research and a quarterly client magazine for an investment bank. Have previously worked across newspapers, B2B and contract publishing, and the pay here is much, much better than I would ever get doing similar work. One of my good friends is a...

I suppose it comes down to whether you're in the camp of not really giving a shit if every decision is technically "correct" or whether you're happy with this bizarre desire for perfection over human emotions and fragility. I'm 100% in the former. It just doesn't bother me whether a goal is...

Yep, I've actually enjoyed women's football a lot more once I've stopped comparing it to the men's game and basically treated it as a sport on its own merits. Also agree that the habit of now merging stats with the men's game, such as so-and-so overtaking Klose to be the leading scorer in World...

I see the Premier League have said that VAR will not be used next season during a penalty to check whether a goalkeeper is an inch off his line. This will be up to the referee to decide. Can't wait for the first manager to moan when a penalty is "illegally" saved and not spotted by the officials...

Sheffield United: Haven't been since the Leon Knight injury-time winner, Sheffield always a good day out. Spurs: Missed last season due to illness. Palace: Yes, it's a hole. Yes, it's a ballache. Yes, it's awful if you lose. But when you win... oh my god, when you win.
