If they get the slightest contact they go down pole-axed, often holding their face when no contact has been made with their face. ...and let's not forget the pounding the hand on the grass routine like they have suffered some major catastrophic injury that is physically unbearable when all they hav...

Agreed on the damp walk back after the game. I walked to the ground from Bournemouth (Central) station before the game and, despite a bit of drizzle, the mile+ walk seemed reasonable. After clapping the lads at the end of the game, I walked back to Pokesdown station to get the 17.22 train. That walk...

Well no, it’s about beating your opponent. Football is played without a crowd as well you know. Of course watching teams in the top division you hope to see a certain standard but the manager and players will be paid on results not entertainment. That's it; the bonuses players get at the end of the...

Co-op Fairtrade Carmenere. Best £6 odd bottle of red that I'm aware of.
Didnt have a drink down in Bournemouth and got wet through trekking back to Pokesdown station so deserving of a few glasses this evening to celebrate the 3 points.

Pope 7 Handling on crosses was excellent in the rain and wind, distribution a bit problematic 2nd half but conditions much to blame, otherwise didnt have any saves to make. Bardsley 7 Played their key man Fraser very well (got quite a lot of help from Hendrick and then Lennon), not showing much goi...

Restricting it to football

I used to get some of that the last few years I worked (when I was 58-61). I used to get up 05.30 and leave home 06.30; in work all day then coming home in the dark. That lack of daylight definitely gets to you when you're older. I started taking the vitamin D in Dec-Feb which may've helped but reti...

aiza @fzjmmd As BAME Officer for London Young Labour, I utterly condemn Jess Phillips' overt racism. Our movement is broad, but there's no space for transphobia, anti-blackness, or the frankly weird levels of ignorant white feminism and self-obsession she exhibits. Is that real or a spoof? It's dif...

They've progressed to a point behind us in the league.

LeadBelly

Brighton have easily had the best of that and a half-decent pen shout (by today's standards especially). I've had a couple of bob ion a draw but it's looking more like 0-1 at this stage unless Roy can work some magic re formation/subs. Mooy is looking good, can't see him going back to Huddersfield d...

LeadBelly

Current bottom three for me. Norwich have had some decent results (such as beating City) but they let too may in. I dont think they have the £ to recruit and correct that. They don't score that many either and will really struggle if Pukki gets injured/has a poor patch. Watford have some decent play...

1-0 not an early appearance on MotD.

I thought the two major celeb endorsement that turned it Labour's way in the north and midlands were probably Lily Allen and Stormzy. Stormzy shared a video on Twitter in which he said: “Today it’s very, very important that you vote. Man’s never voted, man’s always looked at politicians and thought,...

Amid all the political excitement, I almost forgot - tickets on general sale today. Got mine online no problems - Im hoping to see a hat-trick of victories down there.

FRom post 675 Until diehard Labour supporters like yourself stop blaming everything but themselves they will never stand a chance. The answers lie within your own party. The direction it has gone in..the badly misguided judgements made. Out of touch. It has become a party that satisfies the bloodlus...

There are a lot of Corbynistas in denial but Caroline Flint (having lost Don Valley to Tories) says, more realistically: ====================== But shed no tears on my behalf. Defeat is in some ways a blessed relief. A respite from a miserable period in politics. But do spare a thought for those man...

There's a fair amount of backstabbing going on already within the Labour party. People who were licking JCs backside yesterday now calling him/momentum etc out. I'm finding The Guardian excellent reading (it must be reporting through gritted teeth with tears falling). EG ============================...

One further point amid the congratulations. You're possibly taught this nowadays but..... remember to cut your Mrs a lot of slack, can be a hard time for some women to readjust amidst the hormonal changes, can lead to problems sometimes if you dont account for that. Hopefully it wont be a factor for...

Cant wait to see Owen Jones's face if the exit polls are correct.
Is he on tv anywhere tonight?

LeadBelly

Yep. I voted Tory for the first time in my life today and it felt odd. I first voted Labour (Dan Jones) in 1970 and voted that way at all elections (various places) up to the second Blair election when I voted LibDem (or whatever it was called then), then LibDEm again when Clegg was the leader- what...

I used to hate sprouts and most other greens but once past about 40 started to like most of them. Taken me to 60+ to get to grips with sprouts but I like them in moderation now. I dont like them enough to buy them on a regular basis (like I do with cabbage (especially savoy), spinach, runner beans e...

Her heart is in the right place, bless her. I liked that she crossed the Atlantic in a boat rather than a plane (as per most "green" luvvies) but I think she's being a bit "used" by various factions. I hope she survives into adulthood with some equilibrium but that might be difficult.

LeadBelly

Congratulations.
Chances are that you'll never lose that love and urge to protect/guide- even when your kids are bigger and/or cleverer and/or more popular and/or more successful than you.

Thanks CT, I do enjoy both the footy info and the background context in these articles. I was surprised by the gate of 26,249 which seemed surprisingly low for Highbury. I had a check up on their usual gates for that season and it varied a lot. They kicked off the season with 47.6k v Sheff W, 41.6k ...

Cant beat a nice pair of Loakes.damned expensive though. Yeah, got quite a few Loakes's (otherwise mainly Barkers). I use 7 pairs of black "everyday" shoes and 3 of those are the same Loakes model (771B); I also have a brown pair of 771Bs. (Have other all leather shoes too). I swap shoes after each...

I'm a leather uppers/leather soles, made in Northants man (I'm not Sean Dyche though). Wearing flip flops/sandals walking around outside (other than on the beach) is asking for trouble- like doing a fry up in the kitchen whilst naked.

is it time the manifestos which the politicians go to the country with, are legally binding for the winning political party?

You must be a comedian.

Probably be our lowest away following of the season this one. I think you only get 1500 anyway (as 10% of the capacity). It is a tough trip down from Lancs -especially just before Christmas & maybe we wont sell all of those. Only an hour on the train for me though so I'm hoping to get a general rel...

Moyes and Pereira are neck and neck bookies' favourites at around evens. Howe and Marcelo Gallardo after that at c 11/1. Had to look up Gallardo- manager of River Plate (ex Argy international). You'd think they wouldn't rush into it but I guess they've been pondering a replacement for a fair few wee...

I'm not watching the game but BBC stats show: Possession 52/48 to Brighton (for what that's worth); Shots on target 5:2 to BHA; Arsenal committed 7 fouls, BHA just 2 fouls. Looks like BHA are pretty much on top from the stats and 1-0 well deserved. Another goal for BHA and they'll be past us in the ...

Steve Bruce, not only a very good CH over many years but a genius manager. Getting the Toon "back where they belong".

LeadBelly

I'm not a fan of Marco Silva but Everton's recent problems are down to more than just him I think. Some dithering/inconsistent manager appointments, poor transfer spending and many fans who expect too much (maybe the new owners have over promised). I had a scan of their fans' forum after they lost a...

Yes RIP Bob. A big surprise as he's been on Sky cricket programmes fairly recently & I was unaware of any illness. As per many others I well remember the 1981 ashes series. Having been on the 1st (lost) test at Trent Bridge (got married at 10.00 at Nottingham registry office before the 2nd day's pla...

Only just tried this for the first time today, good to have y'all back folks.
I'm not sure if it was the same for everybody but when it was down the main page header backgrond was in orange, thought the site had been hijacked by Blackpool fans.

Why would anybody want to do this sort of imagining/depicting ffs? Let alone want to look at the output.

Perverts. Must be all those hormones in the water.

I wonder how many of the 396 (currently) "NO" votes are from Clarets?
When this vote was flagged on here (and presumably other Claret-related sites) the voting was something like 49/51 now 27/73 split.

LeadBelly

Pile in there. "NO" leading at the mo but not much in it (I expect it might be the other way round if you exclude Clarets fans voting strategically).

LeadBelly

Thanks for the heads-up OP. I'm off shopping shortly; this is just the excuse I need to pop into Morrisons for some Bury black pudding, see if there's some decent bottled Lancs-made ale whilst I'm at it.

I was at Woburn Abbey too. Thankfully the weather was fantastic that day. What an amazing setting for a concert. I was living/working in South Wales at the time. I had a company car and was "the driver". By the time I got out of the car park there, drove back to Wales and dropped everybody off, I h...

I'm not a huge fan of the recorded music of TT (or Bowie for that matter) but saw TT live at Woburn Abby around 1990. I was pretty much coerced into going to that show by some workmates but it was a fantastic performance; Ive been to hundreds of gigs over the years but remember that one very fondly.

To be fair, he's better than the average punter. A few years ago the BBC site opened up the weekly Prem predictions competition, there were hundreds of thousands entered and I recall Lawro finished in the top 5% or so. What irks me though is the "oponent" he gets each week to compare his predictions...

I think LeadBelly is from that area. He certainly watches the cricket regular there. Aye been a Surrey CCC member since I retired but actually live in Hampshire -Basingstoke.
