And if it automatically cut out and stopped drawing it when you turn 60, you’d have a point. It stopped 10 months before I turn 60, and I do still need the prescription. I don’t have to reset all my other DD’s every year, so I wrongly assumed I had nothing to do with it so I relaxed, thinking my pr...

Seems pretty logical to me.

The PPC is for a 12 month period so, as prescriptions are free once you turn 60, it isn't automatically renewed to avoid you paying for something you don't need. I would imagine you'll have received an email to let you know it wasn't being renewed.

There was a lad whose surname was Pilkington, who came on as sub in one game under Cotterill (I think!). As soon as play re-started after the sub, the ref blew for full time.

I don't think he made another appearance.

Joel, I think?

Max Homa's year has been such a nightmare that he hasn't qualified for the Open and is playing in California this week.

I'm on MacIntyre and Hatton, shamelessly cribbed from Ben Coley's (who has an excellent record) Sporting Life tips.

The one Curricella is playing in. Not sure if it's the women's or men's game

Must be the women, I've never heard of a male player with that name.

Aren't there two Longstaffs at Newcastle?

If so, which is the better one?

Matt Longstaff left Newcastle two years ago.

Sorry to all the medical & sports scientists on this thread but I’ve seen Bayer twice, outside the ground end of season & at Manchester airport, walking really well with no signs of a limp or injury, looked in great nick & taller than I thought.

What about Beyer though?

Saw them two years ago after last seeing them on Bruce Dickinson's first farewell tour in the early 90s.

They've still got it.

Didn't he make that comment months before Esteve was signed?

The charge isn't new, just the method of payment.

Something else I learnt last week. If dropping off at T3 follow the signs for T1.

And yes, the new drop off payment method is an absolute money making scam. Why else would they change it?

Maybe to help the flow of traffic if cars no longer need to stop and wait for barriers to open?

In Premier League terms, those transfer fees are peanuts, and you know what they say you get when you pay peanuts...

It doesn't need data. Anyone watching a game can easily see when a team creates and misses a load of good chances. No need to quantify it more than that.

What if they haven't watched the game?

Tall Paul

Or they might have said, "we got beat 5-0, but our xG shows that we probably shouldn't expect that kind of result every week" and they'd have been right.

Tall Paul

But no professional person at a club anywhere in the world uses xG as a single stat which is what most fans who defend do. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c1k4vy0xwlgt#MatchStats I wonder if Palace said after the above match ahhh but our xG No but they might have said "if only we hadn't m...

I don’t subscribe to TNT but was able to watch it free via Discovery + on Sky. Whether that option will be available for the Champions League final I don’t know.

If he goes abroad doesn't that mean Burnley miss out on the compensation they'd get if he moved to another English club?

That's obviously not what Ian or albo were talking about. There's no tax on the punter on gambling winnings.

Yes, it is what people wanted given the time that was spent analysing and complaining about incorrectly given or disallowed goals for offside before VAR was introduced.

Tall Paul

Not really. Too much is unstated. We sold players for £88m after 31st July, but bought players for an initial £1m - presumably this means that all the fees for Flemming, Humphries, and Antony won't be included. One of the effects of modern accounting rules is to make accounts less clear, which is i...

No, you've made your clever point, Pace has not personally pocketed £125m, it's a company of which Pace is the beneficial owner.

The FL record is held by Port Vale, not Gillingham.

Of course, the Port Vale keeper must have missed at least one game then as the record is 29 held by Gillingham's Jim Stannard.

Tall Paul

Trafford needs one more clean sheet for Burnley to equal the record of 30, although he'd need a shutout in both remaining games to equal the record himself, due to Hladky playing in the home win against Cardiff. No, I believe the Gillingham keeper also missed one game in their record 30 clean sheet...

I still can’t get my head around why clubs have to pay these fees. In my simplistic world, player wants an agent, player should pay for his agent.

The club would still end up paying it.
