I think our front line and midfield share this view. They certainly enjoyed watching him do whatever the f=-k he wanted. So frustrating to see us give him acres of space to just do whatever he wanted to in. Really poor.

Anyone recommend somewhere to part outside London. We are staying at Tower Bridge next weekend but would like to dump the car Friday rather than driving in. People have recommended Brent cross or Finchley but just wondered if anyone else had any opinion? A decent alternative to the tube is the Tham...

You do realise that our defenders can also challenge for crosses. Goalkeepers are not solely responsible for free headers. I’ve only got as far as this post before I had to reply. It implies that the first goal was partly down to the defender for not challenging for the ball? Listen to the goal on ...

I'd like to apologise to you, it appears from reading back that I appeared to be patronising and condescending to you, with a reference to "average joe" on a message board.

Why so aggressive? I didn’t belittle you at all. I like EVs and my observations about the charging network are as valid as yours. I’ll leave it there, apologies for having an opinion, I won’t do it again. You tried to imply your line of work and discussions with ‘academics’ gave you a superior insi...

I would never dream of filling up my diesel at a motorway service station. Genuinely interested, are chargers at service stations not more expensive to utilise than home / elsewhere? Does this not negate some of the cost benefit? The Tesla chargers are cheaper than others. The Tesla chargers at ser...

Rather presumptuous to say I’ve never owned an EV, though I admit I haven’t. I have driven several, and I do like them but that doesn’t negate the issues I have with them currently I also work with 2 people who have them, and they both concur with my observations regarding charging points and they ...

1fatclaret

Stop being purposefully obtuse. I made an observation about the charging network. You may well disagree, because you think I am against EVs (which I am not, read my other posts on this thread) and then you mention queues at pumps as if that is a fair comparison. To educate you, it is not. I can ref...

It depends on whether you actually want to go anywhere of any distance, in the knowledge that you're actually going to arrive. Bournemouth away would be interesting.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately not available for my car/charger combination yet.

Best thing to do here is lie. I did, twice. All you actually want is cheap electricity between 11 and 5. Your car will most likely be able to set the charging schedule and octopus don’t check you car / charger combo.

The vast majority of my time sees the car running on electric mode alone. It is just a pain that electricity is so expensive now.

On an 18 mile full charge? Ok. Not many people can survive on 18 miles without using their ICE engine. You’re clearly an exception.

1fatclaret

Just to throw in my experience. I have a plug in hybrid. It cost me about 8k to trade it on for my old ICE car. It was already 1 year old. In last year’s summer I was getting about 28miles from a full charge. This winter I do well to get 18! I am one of those people whose electric supplier went bus...

And more accurate in 2021. 2-3p per mile is now closer to 15-20p per mile on public chargers now Depends. Off peak charging on Tesla network is 40p pkwh I get about 4 mile pkwh. At home I pay 10p pkwh so 2.5p per mile. I get 8ppm from the company and save £600 a month on bik tax. Absolute no braine...

You dont need brands you need layers - its all physics

I disagree with this. If all your layers are badly fitted, wrong materials (cotton for example) and don’t repel and disperse water properly, you’re going to have a miserable time in the wrong weather, no matter how many layers you have

Look at any film or TV crew in some remote location for a month and all you'll see is North Face and Arc'teryx.

Maybe, but one of those brands offers low grade, high priced tat that diminishes their brand. Their top end stuff is fantastic quality. The low priced gear is poor and overpriced

Have a look at the Frahm parka

Finally jumped in and bought one on the resale. Absolutely love it. What a piece of kit. I’ve got warmer coats but nothing that looks and feels anything like as good as this.

As long as I don’t balloon or diet, I reckon it’s a 15 year investment.

You can use pretty much any charger, there’s a drop down box on their website to select from.

I was on a 3 pin plug at the old house as I knew we were moving so didn’t fit the charger.

1fatclaret

Yep, I’ve got it. Having issues setting up in the new house but it worked perfectly in the old place. Set your car to charge in the off peak hours and the octopus app does the rest.

Really good. Works out about 3p a mile if you get over 3 miles per kWh

If you leave your EV at Manchester airport for a fortnights holiday will it hold the charge sufficiently to get you home to Burnley when you get back or does it lose some charge over time?

The cold weather doesn’t do much to my Tesla. 5%-10% probably the max drop off.

But you can’t both play him offside and run at full pace in the same direction towards the ball. You either stand and hold the line to play him off, or you go for the ball. Can’t do both

Rules are the rules. Tella ran toward the ball then didn’t touch it. Rashford ran toward the ball then didn’t touch it. That’s why they’re both legitimate goals by the letter of the law.

Why’s he yards behind him then?

Because he played Rashford offside. Watch the build up, he clearly spots Rashfords run and let’s him go. By doing that he then ends up on the wrong side of Rashford.

If Rashford doesn’t run into an offside position, the goal doesn’t happen.

1fatclaret

Your not offside till you touch the ball, as can be seen in every game. Assistant ref does not flag till they touch it. Had a defender tried to get to the ball and was impede then he is interfering. So for me it’s a goal. If that’s the case, why does the linesman flag for offside? Simple answer, th...
