The only way is up was a hit for Yazz in 1988 the season after Orient game. That was our rock bottom and Yazz knew it..... Rock bottom was a UFO track. The track before was "lights out", which, I suppose, is one way of looking at our 2022/3 performances. If it follows that trend then we'll be OK 20...

We had almost sixty thousand fans on Sunday at Perth Stadium in Western Australia for an Women’s Olympic qualifier. Australia v Phillipines. Australia won 8-0.

And yet the Philippines are now second in the group with 6 points from three games.

Whatever it is, it can't be more annoying than the canned rubbish put on during the rugby world cup in gaps. It was the same at every match and seemed to have been borrowed from "the hundred" cricket tournament. I guess that England might still be able to win a 20:20 world cup. Any more than 160 bal...

I've posted links showing that gun ownership is declining yet mass shootings are increasing. There clearly is no direct correlation between the two. That's the only point I really want to make. That's because they've got past the stage where it makes a great deal of difference. All the mad redneck ...

And they can't bring in the kids, realistically, as Jong Ajax are bottom of their league too.

I have the inglis book.

Aye, at Old Trafford. Thinking they'll probably have a minutes applause for Sir Bobby. Perhaps they can make it a joint one for Charlton and Francis lee. That might defuse things a bit, otherwise you'd assume that there would be retaliatory songs from the small portion of man u that makes a noise a...

, chanting about the killing of 116 children and 28 adults at Aberfan, is just about as low as it can get, and by a long chalk too. It's not particularly accurate geographically either. If Aberfan is near Cardiff, then Burnley is East Blackburn. That's about half the distance. Hence its just about ...

At Colchester last season in the 4th tier, nowhere near good enough for us. I don’t rate Sean Longstaff highly either he will soon be replaced with the money Newcastle have. Yes.

I’d no idea until I watched it that Robert’s had been sent off, so stupid to get the first yellow. Not that we deserved any air time but they never mentioned us once, even how bad we were after the game, it was all Brentford. Only they did mention it. And showed the incident. What they didn't menti...

Quite a flattering mock-up of boston's new ground. Good to see a few non-league on there.

And the reason there is less atmosphere is because the tippy tappy backwards and forwards possession is king football is mind numbingly boring. It wasn't particularly exciting when we were doing it last season and winning. Now we get both sides doing it (in some games). It was shyte to watch when Sp...

I suppose if its limited to some sort of death march noise whenever the game stops for a var review but shuts the f up the rest of the time, I'd not moan too much.
Unless we get to play celtic, when it ought to be a big ass drum accompanied by tin whistles.

And the goal's he scored in "escape to victory" 😂 Well let's face it. Ronaldo would have wanted to play for the Germans.

I was there on Tuesday. Not in that particular location. The tramline that goes up to knocke-heist is guarded most of the way up, and dualled, so this might be a rarely used bit of track. That said, there are lots of sections of tramline over there where you basically drive along the same bit of roa...

I suppose this sort of thing is interesting for some, but it was a lot better when Watford were in the Premier league. It was like it's a knockout when somebody played their joker.

Tompkins at centre, thankfully as the back-ups have looked pretty poor. Rio dyer winger off the bench. The argentine winger who looks almost as fast as zammo. Fraser Thomas at merthyr. Devon witherspoon at nickel. I mean, yes, I drafted him thinking he'd be good, but holy crapp, he's just insane. Th...

Rugby var got two decisions "wrong" yesterday when it wasn't clear that the match official had got it wrong in play. Zammo try that wasn't and a line call where an Irish foot touched the white line. Generally, though, their system works a lot better than ours and it is about time that those in charg...

Just after the ones where we are worse than the City game. Well we still have 16 games left to go against sides in the top 11 where we have lost every game. And 14 against the 8 that are with us in the relegation league where we are unbeaten. Of course losing to one of those 8 might automatically m...

Money talks. These money clubs didn't need to join the super league to ruin the pyramid they've already done it

And yet there are six squads this season that cost more than Newcastle 's, two of which cost not far short of double.

We mock the Brit refs, but some of the dross from Europe is another level of rubbish.

But their var corrected the clear and obvious errors - whereas ours just makes things worse.

timshorts

Plus avoiding saying anything too truthful about the ref and var after the game, as if he had, even though all except the spiced up ***** in the VAR booth disagree, he would have been on a charge and potential fine.
If anybody is bringing the game into disrepute right now, it is the officials.

Always thought a VAR team should include a former player that has some understanding of how a game is played and would have some idea of whether the movement a player makes is intentional or not That is all the more obvious when you hear Paul merson talking a lot more sense in the studio than an ex...

Hojland has one scrubbed off for ManUre. Ball had just gone out over the deadball line. Thank goodness for VAR.

It must have been really obvious for Brighton to get a var decision v man u. I suppose they will feel obliged to level it up in the second half.

Ok.

Is that relevant?

Is it something about Sheffield?

If they put a dead body in that hearse, then maybe the badge auto-instigates a dodgy var check, resulting in a lazarus style recovery from within the box.

There isn't a long journey back from Plymouth after our 3-goal deficit.

Shocker. Amazingly booked Brownhill for a clean and fair tackle, while missing Sarr’s two footed lunge for their second goal. Oh and why the VAR doesn’t disallow that goal I don’t know. Well mike dean in the studio had no idea why the footballers watching it had doubts. It turned out that he had ju...

Still struggling trying to imagine being a Geordie. It's easy.

PSG no. The ferry that I can walk to goes most of the way there, but Paris is a bit of a hole compared to rouen.

Milan. Best city of the three. Most likely to cause trouble because of their loss of Tonali.

Dortmund is a dead loss of a town, but will have the best atmosphere by far.

For me "Close To The Edge" by Yes.
