Cabbage, don't be expecting Jasmine tea when you come to my house for a brew. It will be in the usual beaker, not in a bone China cup and saucer.

What's wrong with drink tea out of the saucer?

Al Dakhil and Tresor were ready to come on. The papers were with the fourth official and he had the board at his knees.

Funny. I started reading this thread thinking 'yes, yes, I agree with that' and then realised that it was started in September after three matches. Yet here we are talking about him in exactly the same way. He does not seem to have progressed whereas others have. I would like to see Brun Larson give...

I thought it was an interesting sub that gave us more energy up front and led us to have more of the game and look a bit more threatening. I agree though it had little overall effect - we created very little.

Again from TV so no ratings. It was a good performance and I can only make a few nit picks. 1. Our two yellows. I think both given for the Spurs players rolling about in agony. They were nothing incidents at best so I'm not sure why Cullen's one was checked for, presumably, a possible red. 2. Their ...

From TV. Muric 6 Solid goalkeeping. Saveable saves and safe on crosses and corners. Passing difficult because, as has been widely discussed, players aren’t available to pass to. My only criticism of him was his performance on the goal. I’m not saying he could have saved it (a brilliant strike by Por...

I don't pretend to understand Spiral's opus but what I think I understand is that it is no help whatsoever! You may be right that we can only understand the universe using maths but most people don't think like that. I certainly don't. Beyond simple equations like E=mc2 I'm lost. Firstly we need the...

One statistic that really boggles my mind, is the fact that every single star that we are able to see from Earth with the naked eye, is in our own Milky Way galaxy. Stars in the trillions of other galaxies are just too far away to be visible, except to telescopes like Hubble and James Webb. Some of...

Speeding. Speed limits are there mostly for people's safety (also for traffic management and air pollution). Anybody who drive's over the speed limit is driving without consideration. People who get caught do not have my sympathy. Burglaries. We (in Hertfordshire) recently had a burglary at a Pizza ...

I prefer a more mathematical method - storm 2024-1, 2024-2 etc.. Or you could extend it to a whole date when it first hits the UK or is discovered - storm 2024-1-2 or whatever.

Or some number plate method with a letter for the year and another letter for the storm.

I'm full of good ideas.

You have to also remember that we have only been in space for sixty years or so. It's taken us humans something like two million years to achieve this. Then take into account our precarious and perhaps unusual situation - how our solar system and earth itself evolved leading to the the peculiarity t...

'At the beginning of 2023, Mr Potter said his wife told him about a holiday club in Lanzarote she wanted to visit. He wanted to take her but he could not swim.'

But the referees (through the instructions they have been given) reward that cheating. If cheating was punished rather than rewarded it would be a much more risky option and far fewer players would do it. There's pretty much no downside to exaggerating or initiating contact so why not do it? I don'...

His work was certainly thought provoking which made him different and interesting. However I later thought he had an agenda and no longer trusted his reporting.

Villa penalty - if that's a penalty, the game is broken, it's a dive and nothing other than a dive. The, in the aftermath, Jacob Ramsey punches Connor Roberts. It's seen by Attwell who YELLOW cards him.

The game is broken for me and likely many others. I just wish I wasn't addicted to it.

Hipper

Most referees are football fans and have likely played football but probably not at any significant level. How many fans on here have not played football yet sit in judgement of players and referees? More to the point, how many people on here have actually had a go at refereeing? Try it. Watch a gam...

Benson. Last season was his best ever at age 27. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Benson Can he get better? Doubtful. Can he play at Premier League level. Unlikely. If we can get good money for him now is the time to sell. Zaroury. Impressive start last season but post World Cup I thought he was...

The Sky Soccer Saturday pundit covering our game yesterday was ex player Steve Sidwell and during the second half commented “Lyle Foster has been really excellent and wouldn’t look out of place in a top six side”. If Lyle stays fit and well, and continues his rate of progression scoring goals, I wo...

I always look for a positive in any conversation relating to BFC and right now, it’d be very easy to throw the towel in on the season. So how do we go about trying to enjoy the rest of the season, when the outlook in the short term, doesn’t look too great? UTC We're still in the FA Cup. Perhaps we ...

Emma Peel of the Avengers was apparently M Appeal which equals Man Appeal.

The biggest issue in the Premier League is not the quality of referees but the incessant cheating by the players, probably encouraged (certainly not discouraged) by their managers.

Key decisions: Burnley goal given offside - Likely was a whisker offside but on the freeze frame they used to draw lines Fosters blur of a boot was approximately 2 foot long. Just goes to show the cameras aren't quick enough to accurately call those. Deliberate handball - Foster looks to be getting...

Hipper

It looks to me like the handball has given Foster an opportunity to score. Without the handball the defender is in control even after it bounces off his thigh.

I reffed the team I used to play for and was accused by my former teammates of being biased against them!

Yet their opponents said they were impressed I wasn't biased at all!!!

Of course the reality was I was equally useless for both sides.

Hipper

More than that though - A Milner type for example set standards from players that have played at the very top for a prolonged period. Jay and Redmond have undoubtedly had good careers in the PL in football and Vigouroux will have a lot of knowledge etc on life as a footballer that's dotted about a ...

I see that they list Sixto Rodrigues who’s remarkable life was told in the film ‘Searching for the Sugar Man’. Sold more records then Elvis Presley in South Africa apparently. We saw him give a perform in Birmingham about ten years ago which was the last time he played in this country I think. As I...

Blimey, I didn't realise Randy Meisner had died. He played bass with the early Eagles amongst others and had a high voice which was great for harmonies.

There used to be people that say KinG with an extended 'G'.

I know it's a song where perhaps anything goes but here's an example, at 1.08:

I think the Oldham boys, Barclay James Harvest, often used that 'G'.

When we got linked with Dier and Evans in the summer, a lot on this site turned their nose up, 2 players who would of been a massive difference, we tried to get Milner to again would of been massive.

Look at the impact Barkley and Townsend are having on Luton

Look at the impact of Redmond.

From what I've seen there is nothing to suggest that we have the capability to get the 'eight or nine wins' that some say we need. I wouldn't say I was OK with it but I find myself resigned to it. As I wrote somewhere before, how can anyone think you can use a group of mostly no or limited Premier L...

Honourable mention to Leicester in 2014-15 who had 13 points after 19 games, stuck with the manager who got them promoted and finished 14th. That should give us hope.

Have we ever had such a bad start at home to a season - one win, nine defeats?

On McNeil, of course he was younger with us and came in and was suddenly playing a lot of top football in a short time. I suspect he was still physically developing and it told. He's now 24, fully developed and we are starting to see the good player that he is pretty consistently.
