    So what’s permutations please

    I hate to be negative, but that seems like a reasonably likely scenario to me. Assuming I've worked this out correctly, I think it looks like this... Sunderland's game at Preston looks eminently winnable. Preston have got nothing to play for and aren't on a great run on of form. I reckon...

    Bag of f****n nerves

    Spurs, 97, in the days when I still smoked. Listened to it on the radio and had so many tabs (and no little alcohol) that I threw up afterwards! :D https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2020/may/great-escapes-spurs-1997/

    What A Difference A Decade Makes

    Exactly this. C'mon fellas, let's quit the fighting until after the game when we can have a big pile on about which was the best goal; Hamer's forty-yard scorcher or Wilson's overhead volley that sealed his hattrick. :)

    iFollow with VPN for Todays Game?

    Many thanks. If I get moving now, I should just make it. What's the traffic like on the ring road at the moment? :)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    "Yes Constable, I accept that technically speaking I was holding a sawn-off shotgun whilst asking for a large cash withdrawal in unmarked, non-consecutive, low-denomination notes. And the ski-mask was perhaps was a poor choice of outerwear given the weather. So I suppose that some people might...

    iFollow with VPN for Todays Game?

    Same here - I've stuffed up rather epically on this one. Wasn't sure where I'd be this Saturday and left it far too late to get a ticket. Any ideas on iFollow etc. welcomed!

    Death List 2023

    I don't suppose you could have a listen to this for us, could you? 😁

    Wasps new stadium plan

    London Welsh tried Oxford, and it really didn't work out well for them. I can't see (London) Wasps doing much better. I think the clue is somewhere in the teams' names, but I can't quite put my finger on it. 😄

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Entirely my personal opinion Pete, but I don't think that sort of person would actually be allowed to be a part of the current Labour party. They're currently too busy fighting for the Daily Mail vote to allow someone who stands up for the poor, the oppressed, or the working class, to rock the...

    RIP OldSkyBlue58

    I'm so sorry to read this. I never met Mark in person, but you always knew that an OSB58 post would be calm, well-reasoned, and pretty much impossible to pull apart! We probably differed on a few things, but it was always done with such grace that it was impossible to take offence. Plus he was...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I did wonder about this idea of old tanks as artillery, turns out it's not a brilliant idea, but if you're scraping the bottom of the barrel it's a possible option. (TLDR: Nowhere near as good as proper artillery, but they will at least survive for a bit, unlike in combat against modern...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's as well thought through a post as I've seen for a while. I appreciate that's a pretty low bar, but still. 🙂 I think the one place where we might politely differ, is that there are some open goals that Labour seems to have moved away from since Starmer took over. I can't imagine that...

    Driving round Coventry in the 80’s

    You didn't see many of them about even in those days, as I recall. I'll rewatch! My old man had both a Chrysler 180 and a Chrysler 2 litre at some point. I loved how they looked as a kid. They really are incredibly rare these days. Knowing my old man, I suspect he bought them because he could...

    Driving round Coventry in the 80’s

    I always assumed it was a safety feature so you could hear them coming. Talbot: Loud tappets save lives! 😄

    COV RFC 2022 - 2023

    Fwiw, my experience of taking young kids to the Butts is to sit in the stand, take fruit shoots and sweets in with you (because the club don't seem to cater for kids particularly well, imho), and have a tablet or phone with plenty of charge for when they inevitably get bored. 😁 If you're under...

    Driving round Coventry in the 80’s

    The cars! Two Austin Landcrabs, a Reliant Robin, Vauxhall Viva HC estate (properly rare), couple of Series Landys, and a surprising amount of Talbots. When's the last time you saw a Talbot on the road?! Poor lane choice on Four Pounds Ave though... 😁

    Fiona Bruce

    Fair point on what he was (or claimed to be), NW, but you've only got to look at his Twitter feed to see what he is. And yet strangely, the BBC have never pulled him up on their social media guidelines...

    Fiona Bruce

    Yeah, except for Andrew Neil, Alan Sugar, and Nick Robinson, who were overtly Tory, and Kuennsberg who interviews Tories like they're her best mates whilst actually making up stuff about Corbyn, and Bruce who for reasons known best to her and her millionaire Tory husband, went out of her way to...

    Issue with SBT on Mobile

    It's gone a bit bananas on Chrome on my Android phone. I'm thinking Nick has been dabbling with something. 😁
