That would be an ecumenical matter

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation!

Think I was in the on the other thread but have disappeared? I'm still in please!

JellyBaby

Any recommendations? I've just finished Conor Niland's book about the less glamorous side of tennis which I enjoyed. Agassi's was also good from memory. I've read a few football ones but often find them a bit hit and miss, usually miss but I'm sure there are some good ones out there. I enjoy reading...

I'd like to join please!

JellyBaby

Agreed. Jacob Fearnley looks good too. Potentially top 20 in the next 12 months, then who knows!

JellyBaby

Yep, the music is always awful and often it's just people scrolling through social media playing videos etc. I've tried the headphones thing but as mentioned, why should I have to ? I usually do anyway but like the other day I wasn't on my own so I wasn't going to use them. The time before I'd asked...

JellyBaby

The other day I went nuts at someone on the metro (I don't live in the UK). It was at night and not many people in the carriage and I asked him first to please use earphones, as the poster above his head said. He said he didn't have any. I then said can you turn it off then. He said 'why should I?' ...

JellyBaby

I think Dyche is great for what he's done but that interview is next level Brent. I love it though. He's been like that for 10 years.

Wigan knocked us out of the Auto Windscreens Shield with a golden goal in the late 90s.

For some reason I have it in my head that was the first ever golden goal?!

Oh hang on, it can't have been. Forget that

JellyBaby

Cost me a small bet that he would score 3 goals in the prem! Still not over it

JellyBaby

You are not the only one. Commentators said definite red In real time I thought he retaliated and that is usually a red. Really glad it’s been overturned but you can’t always see these things through claret tinted glasses. Yeah I thought it was a red. Would just describe it as a kick rather than a ...

JellyBaby

But players know when they go for an overhead kick there's a huge possibility they'll kick the opposition defender in the face.....what's the difference? Did you notice in the incident that just before the collision Mateta actually pushes the defender out of the way which then actually put him in t...

So by theory every high foot challenge should be a red card and extended ban?
What about overhead kicks when they nearly catch a defender.....6 game ban?

No

JellyBaby

What about when players clash heads and one ends up serious? Lots of bad accidents happen in football and sport not everything needs further punishment. He made an error no malice whatsoever I'd say clashing heads is accidental, usually when players both going for the ball in an equal way. You know...

JellyBaby

Seem to remember Poch trying not to big him up too much and then saying he plays like Messi. He is/was a great dribbler. From what I've seen he's a premier League player. Potentially Excellent signing if it happens

Let's not pretend that we don't have players who feign injury at the merest touch.

Connor Roberts the obvious one.

Yeah I don't pretend that. I can't stand Roberts tbh

This Arsenal game is everything I despise about what football is nowadays

Totally agree. I actually went for a siesta in the first half. If both teams could lose it would be the only good outcome. Some of the childish behaviour I think has reached a new level nowadays

JellyBaby

Classic response from a classless club

JellyBaby

Colourful, noisy, dirty, cheap and excellent food... I was there 2 days ago! Only for a short time so others will have better advice. My only recommendation would be to get a prepaid taxi at the airport (there’s a counter, 1 level down after exiting arrivals) so then you know the price. I got to the...

JellyBaby

Agree with him being poor defensively. Looking at how we have been this season he may not have even got into our team. Technically good and I imagine he’ll be used further forward. Still young though and can improve

JellyBaby

Like when taking a set piece or waiting for a corner. Many lift up one short leg or both, is it to show off muscle? I don’t know why but it really irritates me!

JellyBaby

Not exactly a name but still makes me laugh!

JellyBaby

If its price over speed, then I'd suggest: Manchester- Crewe using Northern Trains. Some fares as little as £3.50 single Then Crewe-Euston using West midlands trains Both these operators still offer decent advance fares on those routes. Use the various ticket splitting websites to help. But don't b...

JellyBaby

The only Burnley game I left early because of disappointment. Thought we were down after that match. The bright side was I got home early for the first time!

JellyBaby

I, for one, absolutely love it.

Maybe that's Benson's issue? He's on the waiting list!!

Then he may as well retire now!

From what I've seen, when other players have done this ubiquitous ACL injury they crumple up immediately and are in utter agony and basically can't stand up and are stretchered off. I'm thinking of Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes as just two examples. Koleosho was clearly hurt, but actually tried to ca...

Do you use tesco clubcard points / vouchers?

No afraid not. And re via Crewe, I looked at that and it was still about 40 quid from Crewe! I’m hoping for these special price advance tickets I think

JellyBaby

Ok cheers all!

JellyBaby

Advice welcome about how to get a train from Manchester to London that doesn’t cost the Earth. I used to split a journey via Stoke but even that’s a rip off now. I’m looking at a trip in Feb but tickets aren’t out yet, are there usually cheaper advanced tickets? Any tips please?!

Im in Cagliari right now, can’t go too far wrong here. Excellent beaches and food, weather etc. talking of Sicily, one of my favourite trips in the past was visiting the islands just north with Stromboli, Lipari and a few others. That has everything including a constantly erupting volcano!

JellyBaby

It's always the referees that get called out for not spotting this. My view is they are doing their best but trying to manage a bunch of cheating prima donnas with the emphasis on the players being the spectacle - i.e. with one hand tied behind their back - is a thankless task. I bet they would lik...

Who blamed Trafford? I think pointing out his distribution issues were pretty fair.

It was his poor kick initially, gave it straight back to them when the pass was square to his left. Saying that , awful defending and I think generally Trafford is doing ok

JellyBaby

He has to get kicked out, and hopefully this will be a seminal moment in Spanish society when it happens. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a surprise that it happened and also the fact that such actions are being defended

JellyBaby

Last time I was in Penang I stayed in the Arte S Suite I think it was called a few years ago. Cheap and great facilities, basically an apartment with en-suite rooms for about 15 quid. A couple of quid for a taxi into the centre, walking distance to cheap food stalls and a snooker hall. Job done

And THAT’S why we all hate Man U

Superb show. Jarvis had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Scarborough should be brilliant. Hope you have an amazing time.

Sounds good! I’ll be there in Dublin

JellyBaby

It’ll be a long time before it’s solved in Spain unfortunately

His style of play reminds me of Maddison from the bits I’ve seen. I think he’s improved his physicality this year particularly and he has the potential to do well in the prem for us, especially with a bit more space which I think he’ll get

JellyBaby

Beat us 7-2 at home on last day of season, 2003. They were already relegated. I'm sure Nik the Greek feigned injury to be subbed by Beresford to avoid further humiliation. Those were the days. I was there on that day, think they hit the post a few times too. Should have genuinely been about 12 for ...
