  1. That's what caused the delayed decision but it was correct, he was miles offside.
  2. You're forgetting all the Champions League games.
  3. And the Dell was the first ground with permanent floodlighting. That's real history.
  4. Very true. And these are the very people that the dissatisfied should be holding to account for the current state of our country instead of inventing some bogeyman from Europe.
  5. We might have faced a similar situation a few seasons ago when we and Coventry had identical records near the end of the season. Thankfully it never came to this.
  6. Like everybody else I have at times been caught in the crush at the bridge but there is no room for a station north of the bridge, and that would still be the other side of the bottleneck. There could be a platform squeezed in behind the bike sheds but that would require trains to drive up the spur and then reverse back onto the main lines and then possibly change direction again, none of it ideal. I am aware that trains regularly use the docks spur for car freight and that they often stack up there for the cleaning sheds. The real answer is to improve the bridge and I did read recently that plans are underfoot to 'widen' the existing bridge route by installing a new bridge alongside the current one. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/14408397.Up_to___250m_to_help_solve_traffic_problems_in_Southampton/
  7. There's no point in a station without trains. Who would run them and where would they go?
  8. What is this 'massive bureaucracy' of which you speak? I have never experienced any. Please offer an example or a frinstance.
  9. We were relegated because we were crap. We certainly didn't need any helpful push from any other teams.
  10. I sit in the central Kingsland and I wasn't aware that we actually had a PA system.
  11. Why would he make a backwards step when he's actually waiting for the Arsenal job?
  12. Did I hear in MOTD that Newcastle spent £50m in January? Which three players will it be, Mané, Wanyama and Long?
  13. It's been known for decades that the number of NI numbers far as exceeds the number of people in the country, by a factor of two or something.
  14. To be honest I took it from the FIFA site but these days you never know how old the page is. I prefer the old-fashioned ruling, unless the player's lying in an offside position on the ground with a broken leg then flag him for offside.
  15. Speculation, it's what they do.
  16. Ah but some would argue (with some justification) that the IQ tests are weighted towards Western societes.
  17. Not in a hurry we couldn't. There are 'only' 27 parliaments that we would need to get approval from and not all of them export to the UK.
  18. CHDAJFU? (Only joking)
  19. Nada. Nothing for us but Palace get an EL place that is righfuilly ours. So the best strategy is to cripple half their team on Sunday whilst sticking a dozen goals past them.
  20. I think that Wikipedia article is itself one big fallacy.
  21. That's worse than mediocre.
  22. I expect they're used to it I remember overhearing a Leicester fan after they were relegated in 1969 saying 'I see it as a chance for restructuring and rebuilding' and sure enough, 47 years later look where they are now!
