The PL welcomes such a clean team with a history of sportsmanship and fair play unparalleled in the sport. (Please note that it is a legal obligation to use the phrase Dirty Leeds whenever discussing them). I saw a sign as the fans celebrated promotion that said 'Are you watching Manchester?'. The a...

I'd want us to buy any replacement before we sell otherwise every club will know how much money we theoretically have in the bank and bump the price up. I would also like us to start using this European scouting network we supposedly have as buying from English teams is an expensive exercise.

Seems like we were actcually 35 years ahead of Bolton.

I knew we had the final won from the look on his face after that second leg.
It had “we can’t beat these” written all over it.

I also knew we would win when I saw that look on his face. A man looking for an answer to an impossible question.

I expect us to do our off season shopping at the relegated clubs. Deeney isn't the player I'd target at Watford though.

It's not a particularly good guitar either. Martin do make some exceptional acoustic guitars but that isn't one of them.

At least the person who bought it is going to use it to raise money for charities.

He returned hope to us after such a long time and for that we should be forever thankful. That championship season was painful though.

Tullamore Dew standard expression is currently £16 at Tesco. Absolute bargain at that price. It is a solid Irish whiskey, very smooth and a little hint of sweetness.

Hoping to visit Isle of Arran on our travels, there's a distillery there, any idea what the whisky is like ?

I've had a couple of very interesting single cask releases although I don't know much about their standard expressions.

Don't let a bottle of whisky that is more than half finished sit for a long time. Either drink it quick or slowly decant into a smaller container. If you don't the whisky will oxidise and will taste much worse.

G'Day Wile E. I met the author of the book that Secret City is based on last year, he seemed like a decent bloke, I could let you have a signed copy, but the book isn't much more gripping than the tv series.

Also, keep a brew diary, noting down all ingredients, method and outcome. There's nowt more annoying than brewing a great-tasing pint but not being able to repeat it. ;) +1 on the diary. I made an altbier once that was amazing but forgot to write it down. I've never come close to replicating it.

Try and avoid using normal sugar in brewing and use dried malt extract instead. Yeast has to work harder to break down a sugar molecule and this can cause a number of different issues. There are styles of beer where you would use sugar but get comfortable with the basics before introducing these ele...

I've won a few brewing awards so thought I'd chip in on this. If done correctly then the quality of beer made at home will far exceed what can be bought. This is because the home brewer can afford to use the highest quality ingredients. Commercial brewers have to bring the cost down as much as possi...

I've lived in a lot of cities around the world and Liverpool is definitely the friendliest and most welcoming of all of them. Good people.

Reminds me of a story I heard Frank Worthington say at a dinner. He nutmegged Chopper Harris and was promptly told if he did it again he would get both his effing legs broken. Frank turned to the ref and asked if they had heard it. The refs response was along the lines of 'Chopper wasn't talking to ...

I'm half way through. It is very well researched and you definitely get a feel for Bob Lord's personality.

They might not get the crowds but the money backing them up is significant. I'm sure Mick McCarthy said something about it when they got promotion from the championship. It is not as much of an underdog story as the media try and spin it as.

A medical scientist recently said that the first person to live forever is alive now. Technology is moving at such a speed that it won't be long before consciousness can be stored digitally. When that happens freezing a body will be irrelevant.

Entirely possible as my memory plays tricks on me. I remember the goal being ridiculous though.

Robin Van der Laan for Port Vale against us sometime in the early 90's. 30 yard screamer into the top corner. Then the game got called off for a waterlogged pitch.

I've used them many times. I've had a couple that were average but some that were incredible. As many have pointed out, read the reviews left by previous guests. You can get really good deals if you are a larger group booking out an entire property.

You'll be fine. It will feel a little uncomfortable but it likely won't be painful in any way.

The brothers of our very own Joey Gudjonsson, Thordur and Bjarni (and their half brother Bjorn Bergmann Sugurdarson) all played for the same Icelandic Premier League Team (IA) at the same time. Joey also played for that team but not at the same time.
