Offsides are always an indirect free kick.

Bit spooky that he dies at 99 on the 9th day of April and the 99th day of the year.

The new "Duracell Cyborg" batteries didn't last as long as they thought. Off to backstage for a recharge.

Didn't go into detail. Maybe contactless only like London buses.

Any one else watch the YouTube video from David Thomas, the Head Commercial bloke? it was sent to season ticket holders and was basically him answering questions that had been sent in. Nothing very exciting. About 75% of existing season ticket holders have opted to roll forward the balance from this year's account to offset the cost of next season. They are refurbishing the concourses a bit and have new food and drink providers. They are also introducing contactless payments to try and speed things up a bit. The £75 million loan that we took out is repayable over the next 5 years and they will have to be careful with the spending (nothing new there). The old chestnut of stadium expansion was asked about but this is not likely in the near future. We've averaged about 95% capacity over the last few seasons and this is not enough to risk the substantial costs of expansion. They hope to have a few supporter type events at St Marys before the new season and, regulations permitting, Hope to open fully in August.

I've always been suspicious of Arial Bold.

Are they on nodding terms with a Tory MP?

Did you have a strange urge to go out and buy Microsoft Office?

Or maybe they knew that the supposed injuries would grab the headlines and they could quietly retract the statements after a few days.

What are you rambling on about?

My point is why did they say it if was not true. Police forces have Press Officers. You would think that they would check their facts before releasing it to the media. Who said anything about faked photos?

Avon and Somerset Police have updated the condition of the officers that they said had broken bones and a punctured lung sustained at the Bristol protest. None of them had broken bones nor a punctured lung. Why let the facts stand in the way of a good story?

"It was appropriate that she came from Knokke, because you should have seen her Knokke-ers when I got them out back at my villa” from the autobiography of footballer Frank Worthington, who died this week. RIP Frank

Much more an artist than an artisan. Should have had many more England caps. I was stood on the Milton Road end for that Coventry game, featuring a very young Stuart Pearce.

The whole of the British Army will be able to fit inside Wembley Stadium.

What font size will you use?

Perhaps we should sent a gunboat up the river to sort out Johnny Foreigner.

Back in 2013 the elder of my 2 brothers died. We were discussing funeral arrangements and, as part of that, what music we should have. I thought about the old Hollies song "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" but, for some reason, I didn't say anything which I later regretted. A few weeks later we'd just finished clearing his bungalow. I got back to the car, turned the key, and that song started on the radio. It wasn't half way through, it started from the beginning at the moment I turned the key almost as if it was waiting for me. Spooky.

Read in the paper this morning about a bloke who bet £5 on a 5-race accumulator at the Cheltenham Festival. His first 4 horses all came in and the fifth was due to run at 13.20 today. Betfair said that he could cash out after 4 races, winning approx £250000. He declined as, if his horse won today, he'd pick up about £500000. Managed to watch the race. His horse fell at the 2nd fence.

Record attendance at The Valley: 75000 in 1938.

Sheldon Report - Institutional Failings in Child Sex Scandal
ecuk268 replied to The Kraken's topic in The Saints
It was common knowledge about Higgins in the early 90's. I believe that someone put a brick through his window. After Saints ushered him out the door, he was running coaching classes for young boys in Riverside Park. -
To be fair, that's the case with most managerial appointments.

Jackett has gone.

Quite like Greggs vegan "steak" bakes. Can't really tell them from the original. The vegan sausage rolls however are definitely inferior. Meat is very inefficient way of producing calories. To produce 1 calorie of beef requires 25 calories of feed. Even the most efficient (chicken) requires 9 calories.
