Pretty much every episode they define country as "and by country we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right", so as the Vatican is not a member of the UN it does not meet their definition. I don't know what definition they used, if any, for this quiz as I didn't go...

It wouldn't count as a nation on Pointless.

Is she wealthy then? I didn't read that anywhere. Not everybody who goes to Oxford is.

Think 8 might be Vienna and Bratislava.

Wounding with intent, not GBH I thought. Big difference.

Ha. I just read that as well and was about to post the link too. It's good isn't it? It'd be interesting to know the extent of the injuries, though we can perhaps infer they were more minor than most people would imagine when they read about a stabbing.

Yes, sorry, Saturday at midday local time. AFAIK Eurosport are not planning to televise this one which is annoying, but it could change. By winning the group England have done themselves a favour by avoiding Germany in the QF and France or Spain for the SF. Should they beat Ireland they will...

England topped group D after beating the Netherlands 3-0, so it will be England v Ireland in the QF on Friday.

I'd second that. It drives me nuts. Complete waste.

Ah. Not so strange then.

I think they face an uphill struggle to progress to the QFs now with Germany in their group. Judging by the UEFA stats alone they can consider themselves a little unlucky to lose. Seems a strange decision not to start with the competitions top scorer in qualifying.

Most of England's qualifying goals including several from Sancho. The one at 1:35 is the best IMO. https://twitter.com/Barryfrom/status/847862431531532288

I was about to post the same. He's a terrific player, but has been a peripheral player for Chelsea this season. He desperately needs game time so unless he's likely to feature regularly for them next season they might be amenable to a loan. There is bound to be a lot of competition for him, but...

I don't know if they get a subsidy like Seagulls Travel. I don't actually have any connection to them. Presumably they are organised by supporters volunteering their time and so with no staff to pay their costs are lower. This might be enough for them to offer travel at similar or lower prices...

There is a message on the Seatwave page now, "IMPORTANT NOTICE – TICKETS FOR THE BIRMINGHAM CITY AND BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION GAMES CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED BY ASTON VILLA FANS WHO MEET THE CLUBS BOOKING CRITERIA OF HAVING PREVIOUS BOOKING HISTORY, IDENTIFIABLE ON THEIR DATABASE. IF YOU BUY...

Is it a monopoly? AFAIK North West Sussex Seagulls run their own coaches. I am not aware there is anything to stop a rival operating a competing service.

Looks amazing and I do owe you for the champagne! I hope those prices are in Yen.

Good find. Terrible surface.

They close the upper tier of one of the stands for lower demand matches, but open it if the demand is there. 41,337 v Burton on Boxing day.

I wouldn't completely discount the chance of a crowd over 40k even though they will have nothing to play for. They got over 41000 v Burton on Boxing day and the last game of the season is always popular even with nothing at stake. But even so it seems a miserly allocation especially when we gave...
