While driving to the gym this morning I commented to the Mrs on the poor parking of a car we passed (on its own driveway) it was quite skewed . If only... Having just swapped our Fiat Panda for a Suzuki Vitara, I've discovered why everybody moans and complains about the size of public parking bays ...

Ally Mcoist was a good striker but talks absolute bxxxxxxs on the commentary ditto Alan Smith the ex Gooner.
These things are always relative/comparative, so all the while Chris Sutton is working as a pundit, the rest, even Mrs Merton, will appear competent.

The talk on X is that Forest get 4-6 points and Everton get 2 based on double jeopardy rules. So Everton's FFP breach penalty will be set lower because they've incurred one before; on that basis Everton can presumably now spend what they like as their next breach would incur a 0 points deduction an...

And for 17 matches, not 19.
Most of which is counterbalanced by those prices presumably being shown in €uros rather than GB£, so 12-15% lower than pounds.
Those Hoffenheim tickets look cheap mind... Aren't they the ones with that really good Dutch striker?

But the correct way to eat a Donner kebab is in the early hours of the morning when it's dark and you're ******; at which point the kebab's visual appearance and indeed hygiene are, by a long way, of secondary importance.
