Zagreb is a lovely city for a weekend break, but possibly not as much to do as other places mentioned.

When we were in America on holiday recently, we were staying in mid-range hotels, and without exception, self-service breakfasts used paper, plastic or polystyrene plates and single use (usually plastic) cutlery. The piles of waste generated from every breakfast session were mind-boggling. Not...

I like the idea, but this would have the unintended consequence of defenders believing that committing fouls or deliberate handballs in the box would not be a nailed-on goal, so would be more likely to do it. It was the same when they made a try in rugby 5 points, with the hope that it would...

A point my GLW raised on Sat was about the fairness of taking the first (or second) penalty. I recall they trialled the ABBA system in some league or competition a few years back, but it never got rolled out more widely. Anyone know why?

Tearing up the Championship isn't necessarily an indicator of success in the Prem, is it? But other examples were cited yesterday where that trend has been bucked (although more often staying with a team after promotion - Wilson, Toney, Vardy, Bamford to name a few)

Don't you remember how well Callum Wilson did when playing off Leon Clarke back in the dark days of League 2? I think he could play off Vik the same way, after some ongoing improvement ...

They've got a C&A in Wenceslas Square too (y)

The slight issue i have is with those who refer to "occasional" attendees (who love the City but have their own reasons for not having an ST) as day-trippers or plastic, yet are perfectly willing to get a second ticket for Wembley as part of their ST allowance and have that ticket used by...

Well that's true enough

In Turkey, for sure, but why headline news on the BBC website for two days? Is it Turkey's strategic location or it being a NATO country make it more important?

Was this the one?

I was nervous for Eccles taking a pen as he'd had a few poor moments after he came on, and i questioned whether he has the mental resilience. Well he put THAT to bed, didn't he? If i'm honest, if there was one person i thought would miss it was Kelly, and he proved me wrong too. Yesterday...

Lucky, lucky boy! A howler like that would have attracted far more flak than anyone missing one penalty under that level of pressure. He has been MOTM a couple of times in our end-of-season undefeated run, but not good enough generally.

Wonder if they'll be blasting out Herman's Hermits this evening. Would that be a first?? Gotta be the poshest pronunciation of SISU ever!

Good lad, Peter Noone.

Some of the time in our school it felt like it was practice at reading aloud!!

For major league baseball, you can ONLY get your ticket through the app. No smartphone, no ticket (which might have been blessed relief for me recently - YAWWWWN) As you say, how would that work and be inclusive for all our fanbase?

It does seem to be not just a UK problem. We used some Ubers in Washington DC recently, and in general they didn't have a clue how to drive in city traffic - or even how to follow Google Maps!

You probably won't have the time or desire this holiday, but to anyone reading, i heartily recommend taking a bus or tram out to a site called Plaszow (pronounced PWASH-OOF). it is the site of the actual concentration camp where Amon Goeth (as portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List) was...

Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mockingbird are less like works of fiction and more akin to commentaries of contemporary history and attitudes at the time. You simply can't deny this sort of thing didn't go on - in fact it probably still does in some areas in the Southern US. They are two of the...
