Found guilty of 45 counts of sexual assault.

People who start every sentence with "so". People getting on the bus or at the supermarket checkout who suddenly realise that they have to pay and then spend ages fumbling around for purses, cash etc. People who can't find their seat at St Marys and stand in the gangway looking around with a puzzled expression. It a row number and a seat number, how difficult can it be?

1-0

That's right. We got the same amount as Watford (who were on 10 times) even though we were only shown 8 times.

This made me smile... https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/liverpool-allowed-to-carry-their-points-over-to-next-season-20190513185544

There are reports on social media that John Gittens has died at the far too early age of 55. Very sad if true.

Just wandered over to Hill Lane to give him a cheer as he sets off on his bike ride.

Playoff semi-final live on the SFC website.

Congratulations to Eastleigh, through to the semi-final of the National League playoffs after beating Wrexham 0-1 last night. They play Salford City away on Sunday. Solihull also in the semi-finals managed by Timmy Flowers.

Those on this forum should have been at the Bournemouth game rather than fannying around in town.

What are the thoughts on Gary Cahill? I know he's 33 but he's feeling unloved at Chelsea and would bring a wise head to our back line. Problem would possibly be wages and would Ralph prefer to go for a younger prospect?

Probably Sajid Javid staking his claim for the Tory Party leadership by showing how "tough" he is. With the Tories in chaos they need to make some effort to stop the gammons going off to the increasingly weird UKIP or Farage's new lot.

Beautiful spring day on the sunny south coast.

It is indeed a very dark day: https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/politics-headlines/brexiter-looks-out-at-britain-still-slaving-under-the-yoke-of-unspeakable-tyranny-20190330184163

They were a nice "respectable" middle-class couple so had the Daily Mail on their side. If she was a single mum from a council estate, the tabloids would have had a field day.

Interesting article today about why nothing is ever Harry's fault: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/mar/23/harry-redknapp-is-playing-a-familiar-tune-to-disown-birminghams-blues

I used to work with a guy who was the Treasurer of the Ex-Serviceman's Club in Archers Road. They used to show the Sky games for years, paying a couple of hundred quid a year. Then Sky upped the price to £5k. Not surprising that pubs went down an alternative route.

Strangely enough, when Chris Nicholl was sacked there was a feeling among the fans that he would be replaced by Redknapp, who was making a name for himself at Bournemouth. He was to be assisted by Jimmy Case as player/coach. Ironically, when Branfoot sacked Jimmy, he went down to Dean Court to join Harry.

Interesting suggestion but how do avoid getting some of the utter incompetents that we have at the moment (Grayling, Fox, Bridgen, Chope, Abbott.... the list is endless. Educational attainment is no guide, there have been some very good MPs from modest backgrounds whereas some of the Eton lot have been disastrous.

She needs a good spanking.

Taking my nipper down to Staplewood, being able to wander in and watch the players training. Getting autographs and photos. Place is like a fortress now.
