  1. I must admit that thought crossed my mind. Wonderful that he wants to do such a thing, but yes very risky. Hopefully there will be backup rescue of some kind if he gets into difficulties.
  2. I’ve often thought we should do the same. From memory the Jockey Club or maybe another regulator can veto “dodgy” racehorse names, so you’d think we could at least do the same for kids of parents with over-vivid imaginations
  3. ……while regularly predicting that we will drub the opposition
  4. Fair point, but don’t forget that Wellens had the Chuckle Brothers to deal with. Not to absolve Wellens of blame for his part in our relegation, but at least this time around the regime in charge is light years ahead of Abdallah and Mo.
  5. Yeah I was invited by Ravens fans. They expected to walk it but lost something like 41-0 from memory, poor blokes were gutted!
  6. Ha sorry, that exact thought occurred to me literally as I pressed the submit button!! That’s the great thing about sports, lots of different opinions. Some of my mates can’t fathom why I find cricket, especially test matches, interesting
  7. I saw the Jaguars v Baltimore Ravens at Wembley about 5 years ago. It was my first NFL game - and last. I won’t be going again, one of the most boring sporting events I’ve ever attended!
  8. It slightly worries me when @GKing521 shows signs of optimism/enthusiasm. Doesn’t feel right somehow!
  9. Well I will be then - cut the fake humility/bollocks, it’s gone on long enough.
  10. You’d tikka bold font over no font at all, though. Could have been wurst.
  11. This is not at all a dig at you and I’m probably going to be accused of being a dinosaur, but the modern game’s insistence that every player, including strikers, must “close down” does my head in. If Nuttall can’t do that, but scores regularly from now on, then it’s Saul Goodman in my book.
  12. Went to see him at a speaking engagement in Evesham a few years ago. Forever a legend, of course, given his playing career. However on the night he was quite spiky and a bit arrogant in the Q&A with the audience. I came away thinking, he didn’t really need to be quite so unpleasant. I remember getting his autograph there, wonder if it was the same day!
  13. Really? I checked this morning and we were 12/1, hard to believe the odds would have come down that much
  14. I’m going back a long way now, I took my daughter to what if I remember was Capello’s first match in charge of England, must have been about 2008? I was stunned to discover the pies there (“hand crafted” ) were £12!!! All those years ago. I don’t mind sports venues having a monopoly on food and drink provided they charge fair prices and have plenty of choice, otherwise as you say let fans take their own buttes!
  15. Well that’s a good article and you can understand why Frank & co chose Arundel, great story. Does this mean Arundel are not as good as they were then? Or have we changed supplier? As you say, we need to know! Piegate!!
  16. I’m with you on this, and not just for station staff. Before I retired I used to regularly get a GWR train back late from London Paddington and the trains weren’t very busy at that time of night. It didn’t worry me, but if driver only trains get the go ahead and conductors/train managers get axed I can’t imagine lone females would feel as safe in some of the near empty carriages. NB that is NOT to be taken as a sexist comment!!
  17. Oh no further proof that I’ve lived in the south for too long Down here I’d run a mile from a pie priced at £4!! That said, if there are good alternatives as @redlion says then yes, the club should be shopping around.
  18. I know you’ve had a yellow card from Matt, but come on. This is as surreal as Trump standing up and saying it’s all my fault, blame me, etc.
