Asturias, Cantabria both stunning areas of Spain. Had a great stay in Llanes a few years ago, not far from the beautiful Picos d'Europa.

That's certainly worth noting. Michael, if you are on your way, could it be to Southampton please?

Stuart's post on social media indicated that there was a real possibility that this might be Scott''s last appearance for Burnley and, if so, that they'd have fantastic memories to treasure for always. I guess a lot of footballers reach a stage with their club when their future starts to become quit...

Doesn't seem very long ago (circa June 2015) that we were fretting about SD taking the vacant post at Sunderland; didn't it emerge later that he was quite close, or was that a bit of a myth? If it was true then he might well be similarly interested in the Palace job; let's hope it comes to nothing.

Salisbury market day, usually bump into a Claret or two.

With way too much time on our hands for a few weeks some of us might be having a crack at some long overdue odd jobs around the house. Please add your tips/handy hints, plus any old wives tales that somehow seem to work like magic. Here's one to get us started: Bring back the sparkle to kitchen and ...

Once we'd signed Brady I was probably expecting that SA would drop out of the starting 11 for the remainder of the season, but then how often do new players play to their strengths right from the start? At Palace it seemed as if Scott had been rejuvenated, perhaps the competition is what he needs. B...

Parked up near Richmond, SW London station to get the overground in the direction of Wembley. Saw one Claret but no other football fans for the first 30 mins. Changed trains and immediately noticed a familiar face looking at me from the other end of the carriage. "Can't be", I thought, looked again,...

Although the delay in naming victims could be due to identification issues in some cases it's also possible that names are withheld from the media for a given period to allow each family time and opportunity to contact close relatives who are away on holiday or who live abroad. Can you imagine for e...

When I was little I loved gollies, as they were referred to at home. Did I grow up then to believe that black men were only worthy of menial, subservient roles in society? No, because that's not what I understood the Golly to represent and also because in that same era there were plenty of black per...

Prior to that season I'd lived abroad for a number of years and could only follow our demise from afar. I returned to GB at the beginning of that fateful season and was shocked at the reality of where we now were and the pitiful attendances (the the last time I'd been to Turf Moor had been v West Ha...

Yessss!

They've only been out of the bottom 3 on a few occasions this season. It's been great to watch them suffer that indignity for month after month. If they do scramble clear on Sunday then at least we can look forward to more of the same angst next season, too, probably.

Unfortunately, it's likely that the "warning about future conduct" could also be intended to protect against him attempting to enter a football ground. For example, if our club (or any other for that matter) turned a blind eye in sympathy and allowed him in, or he quietly slipped in unnoticed, inevi...

If, as CTU pointed out in #57, the club wish to sell MK, then it sounds as if it's inevitable one way or another. With his recent successful appearances for England, his value and interest from big clubs have probably soared of late, the club may sense that his stock is perhaps peaking now. And that...

As 2 other relegation candidates are in a bitch vein of form, unfortunately, there's more than a glimmer of hope for Rovers now. If they do scramble clear we can console ourselves with the happy memory of watching them squirm uncomfortably for just about the whole season gone by.

Sarum

Villa fans may be happy for Rovers to win if it will result in their City neighbours going down.

Sarum

City wasting chances, too. Come on Ciderheads

Come on Forest, your turn to drive another nail in

Enjoying the Rovers commentary, they do sound just a little bit anxious.

Rovers ahead

Sarum

Yes, CFC, started last night with hake and celeriac curry, with leftovers today. And bread, of course: 5 rolls and the 2 bits of fish. That's it for the day.

Mind you, if Forest take all 3 points this pm there may be a small alcoholic accompaniment.

On the BBC etc "research" is nowadays routinely pronounced, North American style, as Reesearch, instead of rersearch.

Tom Heaton at Brighton:

Thanks CT. I had a feeling Matt Gilkes was incorrect.

Not much of the Wall left to see now; you can get a good, long view of a relatively longish section from across the river on the Kreuzberg side. You could then wander over Oberbaumbrucke (bridge) to get a closer look, if that appeals. The DDR museum is quite small and gets crowded at weekends, but o...

another late goal ruins the day

Not sure when that would've been MrH, but the area's populace has changed a bit in recent years (since the build up to/post the Olympics). Certainly in 60s, 70s and 80s Stratford was one of a number of WHU heartlands (but not exclusively so, with Orient also not far away.)

Sarum

The Boleyn ground was further from the Olympic stadium than Leyton is, but then the Boleyn Ground wasn't in West Ham either. If you live in West Ham itself then you're directly adjacant to Stratford, which has long had a big West Ham following. Hardly surprising given the fact that West Ham town hal...

1-3, but only because they're streets ahead of the rest. Anyone else and I'd have us down for at least a draw.

From BBC Sport "Carl Ikeme tipped a Kightly shot around the post and a free-kick over the bar before the winger, who joined on loan from Burnley on deadline day, finally claimed the equaliser by converting Marvin Sordell's pass." Sounds like he's off to a good start; it's helped keep Burton 3 points...
