Just as an aside the geek in me likes seeing all the "stonewall". We all know what it means but it doesn't really make sense in the context of "a certain decision". Though it's become accepted to mean this it seems to be credited in some places to an angry Alex Ferguson getting his words mixed...

Fulham by far the most frustrating game for me. It might be my memory is warped but in my head that game is the benchmark for a team whose use of gamesmanship as a tactic avoids cheating by the letter of the law, but far exceeds it in principle. Everton were bad yesterday at times, but their...

What have the Romans ever done for us? (Except for medicine, irrigation, health, roads, cheese and education.)

If Gilmour scores against Chelsea at the Amex I think I might actually cry happy tears

Unfortunately it's not possible, but the amount of resentment I feel for the operators penalising people who work "normal" hours is off the scale.

They also need to stop pricing people off the trains. Trying to get to a train to Milton Keynes and back, just 120 miles away by 8.30am, would cost me £117.40 even booking 5 weeks in advance - 50p a mile pretty much. A Hummer, one of the most environmentally unfriendly cars it's possible to buy...

Even at the opposite end of the pitch as we all were everyone around immediately knew it was a straight red challenge and there wasn't even tooooo much fuss when it was initially a yellow because people were saying it'd go red with VAR. The fact it was so obvious to us blimmin miles away makes...

I'd query Elvis as a great musician. Great performer and recording artist, but don't think he is generally thought of for any stand out talent as a musician in the way others in your list are. He didn't really write any songs even if he played an instrument on them.

Have you ever read a book that seemed a little bit prophetic? What are the books of now that tell a convincing vision of the future? I've just read about this https://openai.com/sora - AI generated video. And it reminded me of a novel I read in the late 80s that I just spent an hour finding out...

On the Top Flight Time Machine podcast Andy Dawson has told a couple of anecdotes about encountering McCoist at Sunderland when Dawson was a young boy and Sunderland fan and McCoist comes across great in those too. Not just a decent person but one who knows how to make people feel special too.

Somewhere on the internet there's probably a copy of the agreement documentation from the period you received the loans. Might be worth a trawl.

Admirable optimism and getting behind the new man.

I was 8 and remember it very much as a "moment" - whole family getting together round the TV to watch it, and then I think being interested enough to go and see Robin Cousins at the Brighton Centre in some kind of ice dancing show that Christmas. Might be getting my years mixed up though.

This is a fintastic idea. Where would we be without the net?

I found this the other day. Perfect for finding songs to bring back good memories / provoke rage about light shows / power a strongly worded email to PBOBE about pre and post game music etc

With regards to the Single Market, my Brexit voting neighbour freely admits that he believed the Vote Leave supporters, some of them prominent MPs, who said we wouldn't leave the Single Market, and also those who said we'd have the upper hand in negotiations. He says he'd have abstained from...

It really doesn't have competition, it's unique and popular and works across different ages precisely because it allows the breadth of topics and conversation, not in spite of allowing them. That's why fans of so many other clubs browse the board as registered users and not...and personally I've...

I thought Michael Owen had found it on his way out of The Grand?

The Christmas before the first lockdown I missed a train to hear the end of this and find out what it was being sung acapella by a choir in one of the London stations. I've binged on it many times since for the harmonies and how incredible so few voices can sound. On YouTube you'll find...

I'd like to make a far ranging submission of literally everything ever sung by anybody ever on X Factor or Britain's Got Talent, and all their international variations.
