I was in 534 and noticed a scuffle right up at the back as I went down to the toilet at half time. When I came back up, the stewards were bringing an older bloke down who’d obviously copped a sweet one - had his cheek split with a big swelling and quite a bit of blood. Guy must have been mid-60s...

And was a KGB agent.................

No offence taken. This is, after all a forum where civilised debate can take place. I just think that we’re on a slippery slope with the religious stuff. It’s only last year when City’s own Marc Guehi was given an official reprimand from the FA/PL for writing a Christian sentiment on his...

At a risk of being piled on here, I do think that there's a strong element of virtue signalling here. I personally have no religious faith and made the decision early in life that it wasn't for me, but don't mind anyone else practicing whatever religion they choose. Somebody mentioned the...

So many to choose from over 50+ years and an awful lot of them in recent years too. But without trawling back through 20 pages, has anyone mentioned Dave Watson’s header against Ipswich in the late 70’s ??? Bullet header doesn’t do it justice……. Absolute .50 cal

Correct !! A Bill Forsyth classic

There’s loads of places in Saddleworth where Yanks was filmed hence why they have a weekend celebration there every year. Dobcross was used for a lot of the village scenes. On a separate note, made it my mission a couple of times to stay at Pennan Bay and Camusdarach beach in Scotland where one...

We genuinely weren't mate. We had 3 Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches + 3 coffees in a typical diner and it was the equivalent of 90 quid !! ridiculous money

Yeah - it's mad barking bonkers expensive mate. I took the missus and daughter there in 2023 and a bottle of beer, glass of wine and a coke was regularly around 45 dollars. You can pay over 100 dollars for a steak in a decent restaurant. Still a great place to see, but you almost need to...

Washington Street in Dumbo on the Brooklyn side of the river. Amazing view and used extensively in the best film ever made.............

Morning TH - I personally don’t think that we need a massive rebuild. I just think two genuine fullbacks and a creative midfielder to replace KDB. These three could be pretty much balanced with the exits of 6-7 players. Thoughts ??

I’m no relation whatsoever, but she definitely was as fit as back in the day

Anyone need a ticket for tomorrow night ? Working away now and can't get back in time. £25 face value. DM me if needed

Yes - I’ve been to Lidice and it’s truly harrowing. Am back in Prague this June with friends and intend to show them all the sites. Lezaky may be a little far out to see. Prague is a genuinely beautiful city and it’s hard to remember that events like that actually occurred there

Operation Daybreak was re-made a few years back as 'Anthropoid' (which, as you say was the correct title of the operation) with Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan. While the assassination and battle scenes are a bit grittier, I don't think the remake tells the story quite as well as the original...
