At5twell was awful again today. IMO missed 2 penalties to Newcastle & a red card to Sheff Utd. Also kicking the ball away no longer appears to be a yellow. Alty Taylor also did not bother with the new rule about only 1 standing in the technical area either today. At 1 point there was 3 up in...

The Rise & Fall of D.O.D.O - Neale Stephenson & Nicple Gallard 2/5 The Defence - Steve Cavanagh 3/5

Well Taylor was at his worst again today. When Antony kicked the ball away , under the new rules, that should have been a yellow. Antony tried to blame it on not hearing the whistle. But if that is case who was he "passing" the ball to. Then to ask for a review of the penalty???

I'm sure last season was Stuttgarts 1st in the top flight for a good few years

Well I have had a good few weeks. Shortly after I posted about attending talk with Howard Webb I was hospitalized with Covid. Got out Wednesday. Am a carer for my mother so on Thursday morning went round to see her only to find her collapsed in her living room. She is now in hospital. She...

I know this might open the floodgates but I have been invited to our referees meeting in September. Howard Webb is the special guest. Any questions you fancy I should bring up?

The 6th Wicked Child - J D Barker 4/5 For fans of Chris Carter, Jeffery Deaver. 3rd in the 4MK series. All 3 have been absolutely brilliant

Last year I went for Stevie G & Frank Lampard to both be out of work by Xmas. Missed that one by 18 days. This year it's Everton to go down & neither Newcastle or Manure to make top 4

Going for 4th bottom again then?

Every year I have a bet with a lad i used to work with. It's a bottle of Champers as to who finishes higher in the league, City or Utd. Had this bet for 10 years. He has today contacted me and wants the same bet next season. However, he also wants to double it up with who scores more goals...

I have had a double on Sabalenka & Alcarez for about 3 weeks ago. I think my £25 will net me over £800

The Twisted Ones - T Kingfisher 4/5 Another King ish book only shorter. Really enjoyed it and thanks to my friend at Waterstones for the freebie

Yesterday on the bus I was driving 1 of them got on in his zebra tracksuit. We got to Peterlee bus station and he asked me "what time do we get to Sunderland?". I had to tell him that the bus was actually going to Hartlepool and he had got on the bus on the wrong side of the road. It kept me...

She got the England manager to be finished. He wasn't picking her so must be a racist. Funnily enough none of the next managers selected her either

You are correct. Mental

Harbour - John Ajvide Lindqvist 4/5. Very Stephen King ish. Reminded me of Pet Semetary& Stand By Me. Had previously read Little Star by this author and was very underwhelmed by that. The only thing that let this down was the end (which I find a lot in horror novels).

He has watched quite a few bands and says it's as if they have trainee's doing the sound. Also just been a story on the NE News. A young band from Cumbria were booked to play but were refused entry as had not "purchased" tickets. Apparently, if you are a true indie band you don't get...

My son did sound at Uni and he commented to me that not 1 band who has been on has sounded "right". His main gripes were Axl Rose (obviously), The Pretenders (he said the singing was in a different key to the band), and of course the Arctic Monkeys.

The 7 Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle - Stuart Turton 2/5 . Too many characters, too confusing

Got my ticket for the FA Cup final last week from my mate at the FA. Whilst collecting the ticket we were discussing the appointments for the final. He mentioned that the VAR officil is seriously being reviewed to loose his place in the PL next season due to his poor performances. However, he...
