I thought that was how they were going, with chips in both boots.

Ah, the times I came home with chips in my boots.

The Daily Express has an article about the Premier League bringing in semi-automated offside technology from next season. Apparently the Leagues longest ever offside VAR check lasted five minutes when Jay Rodriguez 's goal against Bournemouth was disallowed last October. Yes they really spent that ...

Something I’ve noticed whilst looking for an extension lead Why do they all have the cord coming out of the unit from the right? When the socket it is being plugged into is located to the left it looks untied when the lead is having to be “doubled back” Yes, I understand what you mean. They should ...

I would wager none of the posts I've read in the recent past are Mr Stott's - I doubt very much he would take up under another guise.

I mean, who would do that?

I once spent ten days in Marseille's Vieux Port waiting for some boat parts and absolutely loved it... Sort of Liverpool but with sunshine, a great city, just watch your pockets/back.

Marseille and Naples are two of my favourite places in Europe - don't always go by the guide books.

Recently at my local Aldi they did not stock whole celeries but they did stock "celery sticks" which are very similar but notably more expensive. Clearly the celery sticks are popular so I thought I'd share this simple recipe for celery sticks that you can use at home. It only takes about 2 minutes...

Agreed. Just what the hell were Sunderland doing that day? Without those 3 points the ‘Turds would really be in the doo doo

You'd think the betting companies would be looking at that.

There's unpredictable, but that was unimaginable.

Love it or loathe it,but the scent of Ramsons among the Bluebells is the first sign of spring for me.

Let's face it we have had some shockers this season. It can't be much worse next season. And we won't have the big club bias to contend with.

We are the big club. Everyone will complain about us.

Sorry, I just assumed that you thought officials were bent for financial reasons. They may of course be risking their jobs and reputations just for the fun of it.

And a measure of subconscious bias.

I have no doubt he would have improved this side.

How come at no point has Oliver declared whether it was for DOGSO or endangering an opponent?

Extremely relevant in terms of the ban.

They’re not going down. Rubbish how they’ve got away with it. 8 points is nothing!

It certainly isn't considering how bad us and Sheff Utd are.

Or even how to take one on my phone.

What happens if he doesn’t play in 75% of games?

Haven't you ever seen 'Gremlins'?

So what did Oliver give the red for, as he would have to declare that- was it denying the goalscoring opportunity, or an endangering tackle?

Got a 6 hour drive on the Saturday morning, had it been put back to 12:30 or something I'd have found it very easy to raise an excuse to not make it.

The Johnny Haynes Stand at Craven Cottage was built in 1905.

They have to preserve the 'Cottage' by order I believe - it would make development difficult.

We need to attack from the off and defend in Evertons half.Not give away needless corners and play Benny wide right to create more chances.

Not giving away needless corners is something we've really not been good at.

Have we ever seen him when chasing a game and when we are having a lot of possession? I definitely saw some technically really good play from him but having him wide meant he needed to do a lot defensively which he's never going to do. It would have been nice to see him in the role Odobert had the ...

Some interesting comments, particularly relating to his time at Newcastle and the fans' attitude to him. When he signed for them they had played 20 matches and won just 1 and conceded 43 goals. Eddie Howe was aware of Chris's workrate and his value at defensive set pieces. In the first 8 games that...

Can't believe some are claiming double barrelled names as something of a modern day trend. Probably blow the minds of these same people when they discover some nobleman particularly in the 19th century had quadruple and quintuple barrelled names like Augustus Henry Lane-Fox-Pitt-Rivers or Richard T...

I remember reading that if you took Chris Wood's goal away from him he didn't offer much

Somebody on R5 said exactly that about Haaland yesterday.

Used to be posh people with double barrelled. Now it's kind of the opposite.

It's like once upon a time only hard people had tattoos, and now it's kind of the opposite.

Where’s the Phil Bird commentary gone? Got crowd noise but no commentary.

They got a corner because of a blatant offside that inept lino didn't flag for at all, never mind late.

Was there too on the Longside roughly level with the penalty area, will be on that clip somewhere. How did we manage to go down that season? 1.

Just picked up on an interesting stat from the TC podcast. There were 29 fouls in the Man City v Arsenal game yesterday with 2 yellow cards handed out, which were both for time wasting.

I have really enjoyed watching Championship games this season. Overall it has been far more exciting and competitive than the PL.

The Championship is just brilliant.
