  1. He’s on loan from Tottenham at 1899 Hoffenheim. He joined Spurs in 2019 for a mere £25m. Might be worth a punt though at the right price or even on loan.
  2. Next Tuesday 18th at 18:00 I will probably have to collect my grandson straight from sixth form college. He is in the middle of exams of some sort,
  3. I am clearing out my children's books and came across Chicken Licken. Spoiler Alert! He gets hit on the head by a falling acorn and runs around shouting "The sky is falling in" until he and his friends get eaten by a fox.
  4. We are in row EE in the Itchen whcih is some way from our normal seats in central Kingsland but hey ho!
  5. I have probably seen and heard all the evidence more times than you have. Both bullets hit him from behind and on the same trajectory. I don't see what the other subjects you have raised have to do with this assassination. But there really was a Suez crisis and the Twin Towers really did collapse. Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. - Occam's razor.
  6. Eight goals so far with three games to go. That seems pretty close to ten.
  7. No he wasn't. There were probably three shots two of which struck the President. One missed altogether and I have seen an analysis that seems to show that the car went out of view behind a traffic sign at the probable time of this shot. The sign was replaced and scrapped not long after but there is some photographic eveidence that suggests there was a small hole in it at about the place you would expect. The first shot to hit him went through his neck and hit Governor Connally in the chest, wrist and thigh and was later found on the hospital gurney. The second fatal shot hit him in the back of the head and the exit wound exploded his brains out in front of him.
  8. Historically the best goal scorers have operated in pairs - Shearer and Sutton come to mind.
  9. If we were to think of him as an attacking midfielder who pops up with a few goals does that change our appreciation of him?
  10. ? Not that it matters but it is off the B556 Bell Lane. Take the southbound exit of junction 22.
  11. On the other hand it will free up his wages which I don’t suppose will have been cheap.
  12. Not at the moment. I’ve been to Egypt four times and I don’t plan on going again any time soon. 😎
  13. They gave me the option of paying with the credit that I had on my account from this season’s tickets. I thought it better to use that and make up the extra later.
  14. For professional footballers the important location is the training ground and not the main stadium. In Chelsea’s case that is Chobham. Arsenal’s is at London Colney just south of the M25 to the north of London. Tottenham’s is just on the East to the north of Enfield. Geographically it is a mile from where I used to live in the 1960’s. I don’t think he will be going to either of these two.
  15. This won’t have come as a surprise to either party. They will have been talking bout options for some time now.
  16. Yeah, it's like sticking your fingers in the bicyle spokes and expecting compensation. it is cheating and I don't like it. Just don't expect any changes soon.
  17. Oh, that one 😳
  18. Is there a website for them?
  19. Sure. There's no reason why he wasn't, and I have seen many analyses of this incident. That doesn't mean to say that he was acting alone or that he wasn't put up to it.
  20. Indeed. That's why we get Boris Johnson.
  21. Thanks for your service. Good luck with your new venture. Who's our new left back?
  22. Good post. Well worth his place just as long as you don't expect him to score twenty goals a season. If he did he wouldn't stay here long.
  23. That was instinctive. He had no time to think about it.
  24. There's another saying, You don't fatten the pig by weighing it.
  25. I was with you until the bit about JFK.
