Some years ago I saw on TV a tribute to Gerry Rafferty. There were two outstanding contributions to my ears:

Big fan of Show of Hands. Although I think Arrogance Ignorance & Greed might be their most pointed/best song. I love folk music in general, go to folk gigs/festivals pretty regularly, so may as well throw out a few artists I like that haven't been mentioned yet for anyone who might not know them: M...

Who's Al - Alan Pace?

Hipper

Oh, and Bob Dylan didn't deserve the Nobel Prize for Literature. I missed that. Oh dear! Marc Bolan rightly mentioned on this thread. I like the music primarily, but good, musical, lyrics can enhance that. The art seems to be to strike a lyrical chord with listeners so that they can generate their ...

I believe we had square ones to accommodate Mike Summerbee's habit of blowing his nose on them.

Statistically how do sides do who get promoted from the Championship with 100 points do? Based on this and a bit of Wiki: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ranked-10-best-championship-teams-ever-points-total In other words, they all stayed up.

Exactly my thoughts, Jedi. It’s difficult to know who exactly will be staying or going, but if Kompany is as astute as we are led to believe , then he MUST have one eye already on planning for next season. I hope Cullen stays in the first team now, and we start playing through him again. Yep, he mi...

He doesn’t fit into the system our manager wants to play. A very strange signing. Not so strange. I guess he was intended to be back up to the likes of Beyer, Ekdal or Al Dakhil. Unfortunately all three have proved both not good enough and injury prone hence we've come to rely on O'Shea who at leas...

On Heron, not mentioned in that documentary, was the fact that when they recorded their original album outside the mics didn't pick up the outside sounds, like bird singing, therefore they had to record that separately and add it on in the studio! I think I read that on the CD notes.

And Gladiators referee. I turned on my TV yesterday and Gladiators was on. I don't think I've ever seen it and I know I won't look at it again! Anyway, they introduced the referee and I thought they said Mark Clattenburg and it did look like him. Did he used to shout 'Forest Ready', 'Liverpool Read...

This morning I stumbled across this absolutely fascinating interview with Stan. If you've got the time, make an effort to watch it. A complicated character, who knew his own mind and just went for it with a bit of guidance in his early years. RIP Stan and thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

'The middling sort'. I'd never heard of this phrase until last year when I read a book on the history of a school founded in the Elizabethan times. It was used incessantly without explanation for many pages until I thought I'd finally grasped what it meant. I'm not sure I actually did! https://www.c...

Are we talking Jean-Louis Valois of the Valois dynasty?

Hipper

I find him and quite a few other modern TV presenters irritating - e.g. Alice Roberts, Helen Czerski (almost a female clone of Cox). They have this 'look at me' attitude and also this habit of appearing to be walking in front of you, turning their head and talking back whilst simultaneously offering...

1. Let's look at this idea that we have now learned to recruit from abroad - successfully. Yes we do recruit from abroad but where are the successful recruits? Starting with Cornet, Weghorst. Then the group we brought in last season. And then those for this season. I can't think of one of them that ...

Who decided it was a good idea to dismantle the existing scouting network in favour of using one associated with the current first team manager? There aren't actually any words to describe a club who run their business like that. What existing scouting network? The Dyche/Garlick one? Was that any g...

Hipper

I see Sammy Todd, Dave Merrington, Colin Blant and Chris Nichol. How many centre backs did we need?

Actually wasn't Blant a centre forward then and perhaps Todd a full back?

What’s classy about saying I played against your dad ?

I suspect it's because the football fraternity is so devoid of class and humour (at least at the media presented top level) that any scrap of it that comes along is lauded beyond reason.

I see nothing wrong with the headline if it is read properly.

You could try Googling 'Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration'.

Or contact your service provider.

Of course flashing is also done on a motorway as a courtesy to tell a long vehicle that they have passed you. That's probably not in the Highway Code either but it's useful.

Or is it down to the league? Is the gulf in quality so great that our good performances last year were against inferior teams? Down to VK because he is the manager, played for years in this league (ended May 2019) and it's reasonable to think he should have a good idea of what it takes to be a defe...

Hipper

the irony of which is last season you would be hard pressed to find anyone who thought Beyer wouldn't be top drawer, it was pretty unanimous we all saw great potential in Al Dakhil and we were all impressed by Ekdhal to the point we said THB would struggle to get back in the side. Great praise was ...

Hipper

The problem is not just playing four regular defenders. It's playing four GOOD regular defenders. None of our defenders has proved to be good enough most of the time - none of them. That's why VK has had to bring in two more on loan to try and improve things. Roberts - not good enough and now gone. ...

This may come as a shock to some but we don't pay for water here in Ireland I never knew that. I see there is a maximum usage over which you have to pay an excess charge.

True. I had forgotten that. I was sort of at that game with my mother. She was pregnant with me so I didn’t have the best of views !!!

I had a similar seat in my first game but it was a lowly Gillingham. I expect I did a few kicks to get into the spirit of things.

That looks a bit like Wilf Wrigley playing for 'Everton'?

Rodney Jones looks a bit like Tony Waiters and Fred Smith and Brian O'Neil (look in the background where it's either Spurs or our away kit) have also had paint jobs.

True, could look at it either way but youd imagine they could have got 50 or 60 million at his peak. Surely you have to trust your recruitment team to be able improve the team with that money. He was sold to Man U in 2013 aged 21 for £10-15 million (what would that equate to in today's transfer mar...

It depends on the situation whether you've got family, you hardly have freedom anyway if you have bills & mouths to feed or tied to a dead end job you despise but need to continue with.

That is somewhat inaccurate, they also whack them into the Cricketfield. The best I read on these lines was of Traore at Wolves. With Jimenez playing he always managed to cross the ball into the stands. Strangely when Jimenez was injured and actually sitting in the stands Traore suddenly became mor...

Six of those seven, and even the possibly seventh (strong support network) are the usual suggestions for a healthy body.

Do these make up 57% of the causes of mental health issues?

Who is actually going to change their ways on looking at this list?

My TV is 50" and I sit 2.8m away from it. I find that fine. I have it at eye level my eye in line with its centre.

With Virgin Media, if you are on a contract, the basic contract - (broadband, land line, TV) is the contract but additions, which can be added at anytime such as Sky Sports, are not, so one month's notice can be given to cancel these.

Personally I'd say that Foster, O'Shea, Odobert, Koleosho, Berge and Trafford have all noticeably improved. I'd agree mostly with that. Not sure on Koleosho as he was good to start with but I don't think got better - no real end product. Odobert the same. I'd add Delacroix, based only on Friday. Un...
