German trains are frequently late, but bloody hell they are incomparably cheaper.

On principle yes, in practice in the modern Prem not sure. Sterling would have been calling for a field surgeon, and unfortunately those histrionics can make a difference. It was a dirty kick and if we'd done that they'd have had a better chance of the red through their reactions It's more he was l...

Exactly my sentiments Bumba. The best squad in the world at present and we will never win a major tournament under GS. All the Argentians who play in the Premier League, that appeared in the WC Final which Argentina won, would NOT get in the England team. What does that tell you. We need Eddie Howe...

I had my hand luggage checked at Manchester Airport to ascertain what the metal was showing up on x-ray. It was my Hafners Meat & Potato pies wrapped in foil for eating when we got to our Hotel in Crete as it was a late flight. The lad who checked was local to us and loved a Hafners! Probably would...

di Maria seems high. Maybe my opinion is clouded due to him getting absolutely leathered by Mike Duff on the Turf.

They were only released as footy boots when I looked into em a bit ago - so someone has deffo resoled them.

Have they not just had the studs unscrewed? You can see what looks like raise bits in the first picture that look like the bit you screw them in

It's not that surprising that there are very few "Anybody received their digital tickets in the post" threads, or "I've had to pick my digital ticket up at the away ticket office" posts given that none of the clubs have away digital tickets ...

You shouldn't include non-smartphones in the stats for people who can get BFC apps and digital tickets. About 13% of adults don't own a smartphone, according to this site. https://www.finder.com/uk/mobile-internet-statistics#:~:text=As%20of%202021%2C%20it%20was,91%25%20were%20using%20a%20smartphone...

Loss of profits for the businesses directly affected for a start.

If they aren't a direct party to the contract, I doubt that they can calculate LADs on that basis.

Having driven past there yesterday I’d say they’ll be lucky if they have it all finished this side of 2024, and I genuinely think that. It’s a mess, and the past 3 times I’ve gone past there now during normal working hours there has been nothing going on. No workers, no activity. £6m? It sounds lik...

Following the Champions League draw and Newcastle getting drawn against … 🇫🇷 PSG 🇩🇪 Dortmund 🇮🇹 AC Milan My question is if you could only go to ONE of the away legs which would it be and why ??

Might be being a bit naïve here, but why would you go to the effort of buying a DSLR if you're not interested in being able to control the camera yourself?

Cricket taking a huge loss at the minute, the Ashes ending was so stupid and ridiculous it likely turned potential fans away. How can a best of 5 series be decided by weather? People were invested and watched days on end, for the result to be decided by the weather, pure garbage. If the Ashes is so...

Onion rings. Not onion rings in a bag of crisp sense. But those horrific things you occasionally get served up with, for example, a steak. Absolutely no taste of onion, just mush with batter. Find it bizarre what people see in them. TBF, a proper onion ring is what it says, a ring of onion in batte...

And you can stand up, they still have regular terraces!

You can get a season ticket at Eintracht Frankfurt, in the standing section for €190 as well. Insanely cheap.

You are quite right. Eyres missed a penalty in the 1-1 home draw with PNE in the 1997/8 Waddle season. Andy Cooke equalised late on after Nogan had given Preston the lead.

That's the one. Didn't realise Nogan had been there that long

Eyres was sold by Waddle in the previous season.

Aye he was, looks like he actually played for PNE in the game mentioned above. It must have been an earlier game I am thinking of

For me, one of the most natural forwards in my era watching Burnley (started in 91-92). Very clever player, both on and off the ball. I remember him scoring against Hull on the last day in front of a crowd-filled Longside. I also remember his fantastic chipped goal at the Cricket Field End for PNE,...

I know we need Kane playing well for the sake of England and everything, but it'd be hilarious if he brought Tottenham's curse to Bayern where you're basically handed out trophies like Jimmy Saville handing out sweets. It's certainly plausible, they got very lucky with the league last season after ...

Recommended us to Ian Wright. In fact, I think Ian stayed with him whilst he was here.

Didn't they get turned away from somewhere by Sam Varnavas as they were in tracksuits the night we won promotion away at Scunthorpe?

Aye, there's a reason shots that hit the woodwork aren't counted as a shot on target.

Happy to report that the wurst, spicy and plain were both excellent as were the potato wedges. The brezel was pleasingly warm and salty (quiet at the back) and the beer went down very well if a little hoppy

I couldn’t stop singing “Dean Marney” all afternoon.

Can’t think of anywhere “Mainz” would be pronounced as it has been this afternoon.

Correct pronunciation is "My-ntz" as opposed to "Mains"

I was an insurance fraud investigator for 11 years or so, got fed up with it so binned it off and went to uni at the age of 31. Now a RICS chartered QS, currently living in Germany.

Ah nice! Would that cover me on the non-ICE route Frankfurt Airport to Mainz then? Yeah, just go to the Regionalbahnhof in the Airport and jump on either the RE trains or the S8 to Mainz. It's about 25 minutes. Worth downloading the RMV app, or going to rmv.de, it's pretty straight forward to use
