I’m more annoyed that we’re still having to pay a toll to cross it.

Thanks for the update but I cannot imagine that my matchday experience will be affected in the slightest.

I have just noticed that we are on page 404. Does this page actually exist?

For those over 40, a trip back memory lane

I bear some responsibility for Teletext. Working in a team at the IBA we developed the specification for the system and produced the first computer-driven transmissions from the transmitter at Crystal Palace in about 1975/1976. -
It’s called a ‘diplomatic illness’.

Is that you Mrs. McCarthy?
-
I don’t see the point of it. Once the game is over we know the final score.
-
A terrible angle from which to make such an important decision. Another of my gripes about VAR.
-
Point taken. My post was not particularly aimed at you but at the wider audience* out there. Not that the sorts of people who don’t look across at motorways would ever read this thread. * ‘audience’ is not the right word for an Internet forum. I suppose ‘readership’ would be better.

That is so petty and childish. Well done

I thought they were one and the same person. Have you ever seen them in the same room together?
-
Surely you know me better than that Some people seem to have a visceral hatred for anything with the word ‘European’ in it.

That’s not relevant. The Highway Code is quite clear about joining the motorway. You should match your speed to the traffic that you’re joining before moving across to join them. Whether that traffic is doing 50mph or 70mph the method is the same. I regularly see joiners who seem to think that they have right of way and don’t adjust their own speed in order to blend in smoothly.

The ECJ is nothing to do with the EU.

Yes, lovely goal. I don’t know how many were sitting in the stands but there were another twelve spectators on the pitch
-
With football contracts lasting three or four years it takes quite a while for the incumbent players to move on and a manager can arrive at a team of his choice.
-
Yep. Yellow at least. “strikes or attempts to strike” is a direct free kick.

The commentator said that Romeu had a Champion’s League medal from sitting on the bench when Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on penalties in 2012. The same match that Bertrand earned his winner’s medal.
-
No passengers today, just like on Wednesday. We saw a group of players who were playing as a team, for each other No panic, no just getting rid of the ball for the sake of it. I’d like to think that other top sides are looking at our performances with envy.

The Minsk Memorial Thread (and continuation of his work)
Whitey Grandad replied to Minsk's topic in The Saints
So sorry to hear your sad news. May I make a request to the mods that we rename this thread in his honour? -
It is a refreshing change when you come away from Old Trafford slightly disappointed with a draw. A bit more composure from Broja and we might have won there. Stephens did well when he came on and I never thought I’d say that.
-
Offside all year long. Twice.
-
And Broja would not have seen the assault coming. A classic case of man before ball.
