In the old days club owners were in it for a bit of personal glory and sometimes because they held the team in genuine affection. Now most owners are in it for 'sportwashing' or profit (or maybe even money laundering I often wonder). I remain to be convinced that our owners are ultimately...

That is brilliant. Fair play to the lad too, because even when they're coasting the pros go faster than I could sprint!

He'll fit in well with the clickbait crowd, no doubt. I seem to vaguely remember he was quite funny on his football program, but a bit less so when on his political rants... still, if it keeps Grendel happy then there are worse things I guess... :)

Got to be happy with that, great comeback. Loads of positives in that performance. Big George would've been happy with a centre half who takes no prisoners winning the game for us.

Christ, even Boris had to listen to the scientists eventually. This is getting like flat earthers. There's a absolute ton of evidence that masks suppress transmission, a ton of it. Google it for yourself. If you don't want to wear a mask for some other reason, that's your choice, but let's...

What a man. I don't know anyone, City fan or not, that doesn't hold him in huge regard. I'm sorry he's gone, but I know his lads from some way back and he's left a terrific legacy in more ways than one. As an example of a life well lived, I can't think of many better. R.I.P. Mr Curtis.

Not too worried about the result - but do you think their No. 35 might be interested in a loan spell? :) Not impressed with the Sevilla stadium though, I was expecting something a bit bigger. This was more how I picture the Fisher/Warwick Uni Arena. :D

I think there might be a tiny spec of dust you've missed on it, just towards the very bottom of the centre-stand. But I haven't brought my microscope, so I can't be sure. 😄

What I like about them best, is their subtlety. 😁

If I had the money I'd cheerfully have a CRF, much nicer than my old mid-90s thumper, a DR250. It does for me though, if I'm limited on the road I'm even less competent off it. And I bruise more easily these days. :) The Raleigh is brilliant, I'm sure my mum had one like that, briefly...

Proper moped, with pedals and a push bike seat and everything, love it! The beemer is a lovely looking thing too, but it looks like I'd need a step-ladder to get on it. :) Those adventure bikes are decent sized bits of kit. I've got an old Suzuki dirt bike to potter around on these days...

I was dead jealous of my mates scooting about on mopeds like 'fizzers' at 16 (though undoubtedly I'd have killed myself). I had to wait to buy my first big bike, a Honda C90! Not exactly classy, but completely indestructible. I dropped it more times than I can remember (including within ten...

I might be the only person on the planet who quite liked Superdreams (maybe it was just the font) :), the 400s were pretty rare weren't they?

I obsessively look forward to England games, but I've got to admit that I've not greatly enjoyed watching them in this tournament. I'm not trolling here and appreciate people will differ, but I just get the impression of an over cautious, almost joyless approach at times. Sterling is...

Ha. Given my riding ability, a properly fast bike would be a waste of time. Mine was the mundane road one, more popular as a 250. Lovely looking thing though, in my opinion, and plenty quick enough for me. I always wanted a 400/4 but they were out of my price range. I might mock them, but I...

Twin-shock, drum brakes, just like my first big bike, a Honda 350K4. Though possibly a little faster, and with a more capable rider. :) I wish I still had that bike... I do like those classic mid-late 70s unfaired bikes. Simple, and if you had a Triumph, always full of brand new oil by dint of...

So no one on the right here has actually addressed the government's own social mobility study, which shows beyond any doubt the disparities in life chances (and even life expectancy) because of socio-economic status. All you hear is 'work harder, it's your own fault'. They have to tell...

I vote for something that I think might at least give the poorest of them a better chance (even if it might mean that personally I might be slightly worse off). And I challenge obviously crap arguments, not in the hope of convincing their proponents, because they'll rarely engage in serious...

There quite patently isn't the same chance for everyone, that's a ridiculously stupid thing to say, even for someone as deliberately ignorant as you. I'd say read an official report or two (link below) but I know that despite your pleading the opposite you've never really read anything that...

And this, 'lefties don't like the country' is utter bollocks and you should know it. I can't believe you're spouting Tory propaganda. I love this country enough to want to make it work for everyone. For everyone born here to have the same chance to make something of themselves, regardless of...
