Used to be terrified of the Dracula movies when I was a kid. How tame they look now! I just hope that no one puts a stake through Christopher Lee's heart just to be sure! RIP Dracula.

My bad, English teams kicked out of Europe when we qualified.

I am not saying it is an excuse.

The only problem I have with Europa football is squad size. Will we invest in a bigger better squad or will be play the kids? We should be in it to win it so I wouldn't want to play the kids. Europa has caused problems for clubs of our size in the past and clubs have gone down when being involved in Europe (us, Ipswich). It is a positive but it needs to managed well.

Don't leave us hanging! What were the stories about Cortese?

Having just watched France v England I take back what I said about the standard improving! Nice to see the England team trying to emulate the men's team! At least France seemed to have some idea. England were dreadful.

Went down in a lift with Terry Wogan once (ooer missus). Just as he appears on TV and doesn't stop talking!

The standard seems better than when I last watched it a few years ago although the goalkeepers still tend to be rubbish. Not so many munters in our team as there used to be either!

That looks familiar to me Hutch!

If other clubs do it, as it appears they do, surely we would be foolish not to? As I said before, people have choices. Perhaps forgo a new replica shirt if money is an issue?

I saw a quote from him yesterday about the Welsh chances of qualifying and the article said he was a Ath. Madrid player so make of that what you will.

LOL, that was pushing the boat out. I remember very creaky sets too - I think they mostly filmed outside shots in quarrys as they were cheaper. Enjoyed the programme though!

Not read anything about the GoT rape scenes but did see the woman from the Sissors Sisters get uppity about the fact that some scenes have been changed from the book and some rapes put in. She failed to mention that many of the characters in the book are under 16 and have sex and that they have been made older in the TV adaptation which is a good thing. Seems to me that Martin is using the TV adaptation to build on what he created (assuming he is involved) and to make changes to the plot that improve the original. The simple fact is that the dark and middle ages were very brutal times and people did get raped. She didn't seem to mind the fact that people got their eyes popped out or their heads crushed.

Fair point!

Well done for completely missing the point, not for the first time.

Most if not all clubs would be more than happy to have won that 'tinpot trophy' two years running.

After last week's episode with the White Walkers I wondered how they could top that for the last 2 episodes. Last night was even more enthralling probably because you know that anyone could die at any time so you aren't safe in expecting a happy ending. Next week's finale is unmissable and the Old Gods and the New only knows how they can top the last 2 weeks. Best TV ever.
