    Things that annoy you

    Excuse my ignorance on how mortgages currently work but what happened to getting a mortgage for 25 years like I did when I bought my first 2 houses in 1985 & 1988? Then the only choice I think was an endowment or a repayment mortgage. It just seems crazy to me that houses are now bought by...

    Premier League thread

    This is what BBC said this morning "Newcastle and Chelsea are currently in sixth (Europa League) and seventh (Europa Conference League), with Manchester United potentially missing out on Europe, as things stand. Although, should Erik ten Hag's side finish in eighth, where they currently are...

    Premier League thread

    According to BBC Man Utd will only qualify for the Europa League if they win the FA Cup. I thought if Man City win it then the next placed team that doesn't qualify for Europe (8th?) goes into the Europa League

    Tesco parking

    We parked twice at Tescos & spent £50 both times but never got a ticket. Someone told me that you can park at Burger King for 5 hours.

    In summary

    We need to improve massively on our own set pieces and defending set pieces. Our corners are very poor with very little variety and having 4-5 players attacking the front post and nobody on the back post seems really basic. Having all players back to defend a corner seems to be a modern trend...

    Wembley plans

    Had to hire a car as have a problem with mine. Pick it up in Stirling at 1pm on Saturday & drive down to stay in travelodge near Coventry. Set off on Sunday morning around 10 to Wembley where I'm parking in someone's drive. Drive back after the game to a travelodge in Birmingham, then up early...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think it's strange that opticians can diagnose things on their high tech equipment but can't write a prescription (definitely not in Scotland, not sure about rest of UK). When I had my cataracts done and needed some eye drops I had to get a prescription from a GP who was no part of the process...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    I am not sure if I will renew as I will only have been to 8 games this season. The cost is a consideration as I also have to buy a ticket for my son when he can make it as well but as it costs me about £160 in travel & accommodation each time on top of ticket costs it isn't the main issue. If...

    Bidwell appreciation

    He kept drifting inside yesterday leaving Bidwell exposed. I would think that he has to be more disciplined otherwise MR/AV will sort him out or get rid.

    Slowpoke RIP

    That looks like the name that was in the memorial, not sure if it had a picture with it. If he was still tweeting probably not him then!?

    Slowpoke RIP

    Was he up on the scoreboard at half time with the Sky Blues fans memorial? Did I notice Jan (can't even start to spell his surname) in the memorial? Wasn't he ashbyjan on here & was involved in the Sky Blues Trust?

    Cashless Society

    I don't know if it is still the case but the charges vary between credit & debit cards. When we had our B&B debit card charges were 25p per transaction and credit card were around 2%. Bigger companies will negotiate this rate down.
