  1. I've done a couple of NCL cruises so far this year. Both were mostly full of Americans. On there own they are lovely but please don't let them gather together into a crowd. I can't stand that awful whooping that they do and when the Cruise Director comes out and says, "Make some noise!" Followed by, "Is everybody having a good time? Then, "I can't hear you! Is everybody having a good time?" Don't. Just don't.
  2. Best to walk all three. Just to be sure.
  3. If you win the toss then bat first. Surely?
  4. That just goes to show how unreliable these 'statistics' are. The methodology used is worse than questionable and we have never established spread and variance in the published figures. Without that the results have no meaning and are just random numbers and in any list of random numbers one name will be at the bottom and another at the top. Far better to use your own eyes and experience and even then there will be a wide spread of opinions. My views are well known. He is 'OK' at best which might be enough for us this season but I would prefer someone better. I would also prefer someone with more of a dominating physical presence. I wasn't too impressed by Ramsdale last season to be honest and I think he got bullied off the ball on more than one occasion.
  5. Give it a rest. Those shots will beat any keeper. If only we tried taking a shot ourselves more often.
  6. Of course he 'shouldn't' have saved them. Hard and low beats any goalkeeper. Your opinion is coloured by your prejudices. This constant slaughtering of him is getting ridiculous now.
  7. It means you're facing entertaining football.
  8. His wife didn't want to move.
  9. Desperation breeds speculation.
  10. Is that the England management team?
  11. There's a lot more to it than that. Try looking at BBC iPlayer from another country.
  12. Some sort of personal favour?

  14. I've got our two. One for me and one for Friend & Family (my grandson). He can't log in under his own account. I have to say that it all went rather smoothly except for the one Captcha that I couldn't read.
  15. I presume it covers depreciation of his value over the fraction of what's left of his contract.
  16. I supplied them with a pair of 10m x 1m led scoreboards over 20 years ago. The last time I looked they were still working although they have installed a pair of modern full colour ones in the corners. You're right. It is a lovely city.
  17. i've just had a couple of calls to the ticket office to confirm our eligibilities for the Portsmouth game because my grandson had some difficulties logging in a couple of weeks ago. They have confirmed that those who had season tickets last season and are now members are eligible provided that they have also bought a ticket for this season under their membership.
  18. Is that when he was on the bench?
  19. Thanks for all your "efforts", Jan, and j hope that you look back on your time with us than we do. Incidentally, why would he need international clearance as a EU citizen working in an EU country?
  20. I'm a lot more concerned by Stephens and to a lesser extent Smallbone than I am about Bazunu.
  21. 12 points? That's a very precise figure. He's not as bad as you and others make out but I agree that we need better.
  22. Impossible to say that. McCarthy was nowhere near their shot that hit the bar, for instance.
  23. Because Martin's tactics involve Stephens trying to pass the ball around in his own penalty area.
  24. He destroyed my love for football and for that reason alone he shall remain forever in my pile of discards.
  25. As well as Commercial Union and National Trust for Scotland.
