  1. Where are you parking? They are only running one car park this year.....
  2. Further to this, I have again emailed the school and apparently they have been thinking of running parking themselves but they tend not to reply to emails/phone calls. Can anyone recommend somewhere to park reasonably close to the Stadium? Whilst I am not disabled, due to an illness I have difficulty in walking for more that around 10 minutes at a time. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  3. "Hoist with his own petard" is a phrase from a speech in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet that has become proverbial. The phrase's meaning is that a bomb-maker is blown off the ground by his own bomb, and indicates an ironic reversal or poetic justice.
  4. Bugger!! I read it and re-read it to make sure there were no mistakes, because I knew some clever clogs would find something! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hoist by my own petard!!๐Ÿ˜‚
  5. I am a great fan of his but It worries that he has done nothing really at West Ham or Villa. Is he past it? Is he more injury prone? I would rather that we were able to unearth another Rickie Lambert......that really is wishful thinking I expect!๐Ÿ™‚
  6. Being an old git who went to school in the 50's/60's, when spelling, and grammar etc. were deemed as very important, the thing that niggles me most is the inability/unwillingness to follow the rules of our own language. This includes the inability spell and to differentiate between uses of words. "Of/have", "there/their/they're" and "are/our" are some prime examples of this. Couple this with non-sensible Americanisms such as "Can I get...?" and American pronounciation of words such as "leverage" being pronounced as "levverage" instead of "leeverage," and my annoyance is increased. I keep being told that spelling, grammar and puntuation don't matter nowadays....it's all just about being understood. Maybe that is the way it is naturally going, but it is very sad if that is the case. End of miserable old git rant! ๐Ÿ™‚
  7. Three things...firstly, did Nathan Tella look like he wants to be "freed?" And where did a total of 15 mins of extra time come from? Finally, if refs are going to continue dishing out red cards like confetti, we are going to need a big squad....

  17. But is he in "The Circle?"๐Ÿค”
  18. Liverpool have tabled an improved bid for Romeo Lavia but are concurrently exploring a deal for Andre of Fluminense, if Southamptonโ€™s valuation for their teenage midfielder remains excessive. ๐Ÿšจ Sky Sports News understands the new offer from the Reds is still below an initial ยฃ40m, with Saints wanting ยฃ50m for the Belgian international. ๐Ÿ’ฐ
