  1. Nice home draw. Shame that I shall be away for this one.
  2. Each way?
  3. The draw for the third round is tonight just after the Tranmere Newcastle game. We are ball number 24. Ties will take place during week commencing 7th November. https://www.efl.com/news/2022/august/carabao-cup-round-three-draw/
  4. Yep. Londoln Colney, just on the south side of the M25. Not ideal from Birmingham.

    I think it was more likely to have been a faulty ejector seat.
  6. The pitch size is 110 x75 yards, ours is 112 x 74. Ah, that would explain it. When I saw a match there in 1971 the was nothing behind the southern goal except a load of allotments and the ball kept getting kicked over the fence into them. I counted more than twenty occasions.

    On a diesel? (No, I don’t know either)
  8. He was good tonight. played mostly wide on the left. It would be asking a lot for him to set up the goals and score them himself. We had a nightmare journey back. Road closures and restrictions everywhere. The A101(M) and the M3 south of Winchester were both closed and there were lane restrictions round the M25. Signs said the M3 and parts of the M25 nearby were also closed. We finally got back to Chandlers Ford at five past one.
  9. Nope, afraid not. The bias is all on your side.
  10. And will not contribute to increased CO2 levels.
  11. There were some initial complaints that the lifts were insufficient. She’s a bit big for us with a capacity of but having said that we have effectively jumped ships to Princess and are sailing next on Sky Princess whose capacity is slightly more. When we sailed on her across to Fort Lauderdale last November there were only 1300 on board, 250 of whom were British. It was wonderful.
  12. An outright sale would suit us better but I can see that there might be commercial reasons why another club might prefer a loan. A purchase would put the player on the assets list and increase the capitalisation of the club with his value being amortised over the length of his contract. A loan goes straight against the overheads account, much the same as renting a photocopier would.
  13. Scared by the possibility of a Labour government.
  14. That lasted well

    Softly softly catchee monkey.
  16. Too quick and painless for them. Just kill their pets.
  17. He’s a nasty piece of work. A wrong ‘un. You can spot them a mile off. Besides, why does he feel that he has to pose like Mussolini all the time?
  18. You can't possibly know that.
  19. Nothing wrong with the first Spurs goal. The defender comfortably got the ball first.
  20. Thanks. He did more than rubber stamp it. He somehow saw a foul that nobody elese in the stadium did.
  21. He's signalling that it's a goal, of course Any referee will tell you that they are pleased when theyu play advantage anf the team offended against benefits from it. Especially if they have a big ego.
  22. He’s not celebrating the goal, he’s making the gesture for ‘advantage’.
