    New car.

    Couldn’t get on with my instructor’s horrible snatch on the clutch in her brand new Talbot Sunbeam so she agreed to teach me in my lovely Triumph Toledo which I passed the test in. Clutch control was dead easy as the biting point was about 3mm above the luxury shag pile!

    'Champions' League Final.

    Moura is the better foil for Son. I’ve never seen Spurs play their best football when Kane and Son are both playing

    It could be worse-we could be these knobheads....

    Hummell

    Is the easy answer “no”? How might this person know? Has he robbed a truck at Watford Gap?

It was 20 overs a side, but everyone in the fielding side (except the wicket-keeper - ME!!) had to bowl two overs each...

    Club Statement regarding EFL vote and stadium situation

    Club Statement regarding EFL vote and stadium situation

    I would have thought so too Clint. The Fixture list is published on 20th June. I presume the EFL will be working on the assumption that we are playing at the groundshare (i.e. to mesh with the host team's fixtures, policing constraints, etc), which can then simply be moved back to the Ricoh if...

    Rules you would change

    Agree whole-heartedly with 1 and 2. 3: you could have the pitch round/oval like they do in Aussie Rules (so that they can play in a cricket ground) 4: Adopt the following rules that work well in rugby:- i. Allow physios onto the pitch to treat injuries while play continues and without waiting...

    11 supporters banned from grounds after Sunderland / Coventry disorder

    I'd be VERY surprised if Sunderland haven't re-thought their safety strategy for the Stadium of Shite before next season!
