Be surprised if the team that miss first are more likely to win a shootout. Purely because they're already at a disadvantage. Away team I think I could get as the nervousness and tension in the stands when the home team take a penalty may be harder to deal with than hostility towards an away...

I liked the ABBA system and felt it levelled out the pressure well. Not ideal but better than ABAB in my opinion. For some reason people didn't seem to like it though and it got dropped.

But we're putting a lot of resources (financial, technical and human) into keeping track of Covid and I can't see that being feasible longer term as it takes it away from other areas. We only know which variants are spreading because they're spreading rather than we identified them beofre they...

I think we may see some of these established players join clubs quite late in pre-season as they will be holding out for offers but with the market situation and Covid I think many will be disappointed and eventually sign shorter-term contracts on less money hoping the market recovers next year...

Burroughs isn't a RB, RW or RWB by nature as far as I know but a attacking midfielder who can go a bit wider if necessary (SBChimp I'm sure can correct me if I'm wrong). Eccles isn't either - he's a DCM. I'm sure they'd be willing to play there if asked but I feel we'd be doing them a...

No-one put in the score. I'm taping it and don't want to know the score beforehand.

It's really annoying how we've got a small number of people who have to be complete and utter dicks all the time. To a much lesser even the dick that invaded the pitch. All this is going to ensure there's a reason to make sure we don't host a tournament for a fair while. As for the abuse...

But in both tournaments he had pretty favourable fixtures, and this one was practically at home for us. I'll admit I got quite a few things wrong about this tournament. I wasn't convinced on Maguire's fitness. I wasn't sure about Phillips and Rice but both were immense. I thought the likes of...

I think being in the Lords gives you more freedom to not tow the line. Most of the moderates have been removed after the necessity to pledge allegiance to Boris and his Brexit deal at the last election.

Can I just say I don't give a fuck that you don't give a fuck that he doesn't give a fuck. ;)

I know regardless of party cabinet positions are handed out more regarding politics and power deals than relevant experience but it would be a pleasant surprise to have a cabinet based around at least some sort of experience in the sector they're in charge of. But with most politicians being...

Don't like that - changing your mind. Make the decision and go for it. If the keeper pulls off the save, fair play to him. He was looking at the keeper, not the ball, when he struck it and with those stupid steps it makes it so much easier to mishit it anyway, let alone changing your mind half...

That stuttering run up he and Pogba does disrupts your rhythm and makes it harder to strike the ball, which given he missed the target shows. You can't get as much power on it and so if a keeper can hold his nerve and not go early it actually gives more time to save it. It's like a panenca - it...

Very disappointing. Great start and the wing back formation was causing them all sorts of problems. Then after about half hour they started to get into it and we never reacted and lost control of the game. Their goal had been coming for a long while yet we hadn't tried to stop or change it...

Promotion it is then!

Starmer's problem is he's appearing weak and indecisive and I reckon a lot of that is down to advisors. Milliband was the same. Starmer wouldn't have been a QC if he acted in court the way he's acting in politics. He *should* make a good PM - attention to detail over numerous different areas and...

We can thank the government for the vaccine rollout (esp not giving the rollout to one of their mates at a huge extra cost) but can we also say we may have been returned to normal already if they hadn't made such an utter shitshow or pretty much everything else requiring us to keep on putting...

To be fair, Australia is pretty remote for people to get to even for it's neighbours and even them quite low population for area size and density is much lower and so only have the major cities to really worry about. I do think they've handled it much, much better - they've been quite...

There's quite a few cities that consider themselves 'Phoenix' cities, having recovered from a stagnation/decline and some that were bombed during the war. I do think we're a good contender to be the 'official' Phoenix city given the level of destruction and number of times we've bounced back...

But not remembering the Irish and Thierry Henry...
