I can’t do this as I don’t live in Burgess Hill and have never been to the place in my life, but crikey, you’ve brought back some twenty year old flash backs with a vengeance there. I took, and failed, A-level Geography because I’d got an A at GCSE due to the fact that the questions were all...

That’s the crux of it for me. I felt, wrongly it transpires, that he was on a hiding to nothing at Rangers in that he probably wouldn’t win the league and so could never truly succeed there. Ultimately he did, but how much of that was down to his managerial ability and how much was it due to...

At this precise moment that's probably a fair comment to be fair, but he has time to learn and improve, to be fair.

At this precise moment my life remains positively unrunied by Clinton Morrison, to be fair.

It’s that difficult seventh album isn’t it, made all the trickier by the fact the last five have been shit.

I don’t know, but I’m still not sure we’re quite ‘there’ yet in terms of preemptive screening. Given the amount of medical scrutiny elite athletes are subject to, it surprises me how many players slip the net and suffer major cardiac events, often in the heat of battle. I’ve suffered chest...

I have a number of discreet Amazon Echo speakers hooked up to a number of regular Lithe Audio speakers throughout the house. It’s a good way of getting a good, smart and linked-up Bluetooth setup without spending a fortune. Would recommend.

They’re certainly the closest thing to a real life Harchester United, aren’t they? Helicopter crashes, 5000/1 title wins, star striker signed from non-league, Wagatha Christie, youth team sex scandals, the list goes on. An interesting coincidence given that Leicester were generally the team...

Thanks for that, it’s an excellent and helpful articulation of a very complex issue. It seems perfectly reasonable that in a world where you cannot comfortably be yourself in many everyday settings to want exclusive venues where likeminded people can share each other’s company without...

That’s a great post and you raise some very good points. I do wonder though whether the word ‘tolerant’ as a (clumsy) way for inferring acceptance of LGBTQ people is a an oversimplified reversal of the word “intolerant”. I’ve been to a few countries, including obvious ones like the UAE and less...

Just read this story on the BBC. Tragic, shouldn’t happen in this day and age.

It’s a thought provoking thread this, and I do sympathise with you as some of your comments do strike a chord with me. I’m 36 and to be frank, the career I’ve had to date has totally transcended my academic achievements. I’ve transcended people a lot more academically inclined and well educated...

Here's a fact for you. S Club 7 have had twice as many UK number one singles as Adele. For the record, I haven't had any (though I'm renowned for the occasional killer number two on a Sunday morning after a night out), I just find that her actual record doesn't quite live up to the adulation...

Honestly, one of the most positive things about this story is that it’s barely been reported, to the best of my knowledge at least. Yeah, I heard it briefly on TalkSPORT yesterday and of course the tabloids are going to cover it, but increasingly there’s a sense of “yeah, and?” about it. Don’t...

100%. The bollocking I was getting when I turned out of bed at 4:30am this morning to watch the fight, in case I woke the kids up, was absolutely worth it. If the first round was cagey, everything after was absolutely monumental. I've still been getting shít all day about going down at that...

Oh, clearly he did. Let's not forget that not that long ago he was 27 stone. Ok, he's 6ft 9" which is pretty colossal, but even still that's an absolutely massive weight (roughly 8 stone heavier than he is right now, with his 'slightly pudgy' midriff'). His body has been through one hell of a...

Maybe you're right, it just seems a shame that any AJ fight will be a shadow of what it could have been in terms of a spectacle. That said, I think at least we now know how it would have ended, so that's an itch scratched nonetheless, even if indirectly.

I'm not sure there's anything left in Fury vs AJ. For that to happen, Joshua would have to beat Usyk to take control of the belts to tee up a fight with Fury to unify the belts. Even if that were to happen, gone is the mystique over who would win - it now feels like it would simply be a...

On a serious note, hope Wilder’s alright after that. Took punch after punch after punch there.

Devastating. Wilder did well to last that long, but absolutely fúcking incredible from Tyson Fury. How does anyone beat him? I don’t see anyone on the current scene that could.
