Whitey Grandad

No I wouldn’t. I thought I made that clear. It could be seen as misleading. It reminds me of when you buy something in America and then get the sales tax slapped on top. But what’s the point of it?

In my opinion the price that you see should be the price that you pay. The only time that there should be an additional booking fee is where that fee is fixed and independent of the number of tickets purchased.

The Butterfly Effect does not exist. It was a mistake in someone's figures. The Central Limit Theorem on the other hand...

The draw is Saturday morning on Soccer AM or something. WTF?

At least we can now concentrate on the league.

Penalties will be live on SkySports

No VAR tonight

Straight to penalties. Only the semifinals and final can have extra time.

They bring out the best in us 🤨

N’Lundulu scores for Lincoln.

A few for Vitesse Arnhem too last season. 30 appearances, 10 goals, finished as their joint top scorer in the Eredivisie.

They were supposed to be ready for the start of this season, then the date was put back to October, now it’s November. Remember that the Kingsland was closed for the preseason friendlies because scaffolding was still in place for installing them

Seeing those shots of hundreds of people leaving the ground and streaming away I never again want to hear about how wonderful their fans are supposed to be.

Like everything coming from China, delayed. November sometime was the last date I heard.

It doesn’t work like that, and I suspect that you know it. Being fit is a starter for ten, or in Latin a ‘sine qua non’

He’s just jealous.

Amazing! That's exactly what they called him.

I seem to remember reading that he wasn't fit enough when he first joined and some of the senior players pointed this out to him.

For us or for them?

I would have liked to have seen him playing for England but no, he chose Albania 😳

George Best once had a bet with someone that he could go right through a game using only his left foot. He did, and he scored a goal with it.

I agree with you about FF. I am not a great believer in McCarthy and have often criticised him but having seen the replays of yesterday I find it hard to criticise him for their second. It was a dipping shot that went just inside the foot of the post. I would have liked to see a goalkeeper come and clear the cross for their first goal but such keepers are rare to find.

At that time I was working in TV research at the IBA. By 1982 I was self employed and had to fly to Canada to finalise a satellite TV broadcasting encryption unit that I had designed but it meant that I had to miss the World Cup that year so I splashed out on an Akai VHS home recorder. I think it cost around £400.

Correct. Are we sure this was a home recorder?

Perhaps he should stay around the dressing room.
