I find him an utter twat.
I met Chris Sutton recently, I said he deserved a medal for putting up with Robbie Savage! Chris Sutton was very personable when I met him, I know he plays along a bit to the professional Mr Grumpy image a bit!

I watched Wrexham v Birmingham City instead. I wonder what that would have been called.
The men in blazers podcast, while interviewing Ryan Reynolds called it "the high cheek bones derby"

In case anybody is interested:



And apologies for misremembering it, it was actually the "high cheek bones classico"

The most curious thing..
Commentator mentioned this several times tonight during ManUre Rangers game.

My pal Bob with whom I watch telly football was livid.

A horrendous moment in history when countless young men died, is not equivalent to a Europa league football match.
What the actual f***.

I appreciate this may seem like small beer.
No doubt Robbie Savage will call the last 10 minutes a Holocaust for Rangers.

:facepalm:
I don't think you can effectively "trade mark" words or phrases like that. You hear people using "D-day" all the time, and I haven't come across anyone having problems with that.

There are holocausts and there is "The Holocaust" - the two are not the same.

Yes, you are probably right.
I don't want to start turning into Alfredmizen!

My pal Bob was so cross, though.
I guess I got swept up in some washover.

All the best from not very windy Faversham :thumbsup:

I thought the white cliffs were part of Dover, not off Dover?,
Did they play The white cliffs off Dover?

Well both right - Despite some very significant coastal erosion over the decades, the white cliffs haven’t quite all fallen off yet so some are still part OF Dover but certainly some are OFF. 🙂
