Couldn't bare to come on here last night, I was so pissed off with our performance.... and in the cold light of day....I'm still pissed off! We were so predictable last night, it came as no surprise in the end, and I think we got what we deserved. Palace worked themselves to the bone in defence...

Botryoidal - a great word

I'm no royalist, but I do see the that there is some value in keeping our monarchy.... If we really were to sell their assets "for the good of the people", who do you think would make money out of it? Capitalist and mates of the Tory party, if any other public sell-off is anything to go by...

My first car - although in reality, it was actually my Mum's - was a 1968 Mini Countryman van :) First car I bought myself was a Vauxhall Corsa... Best car I've had was an Alfa 147..... and so that would be my answer to your question: should be able to pick up a 2nd hand Alfa well within your...

Have been working my way through Series 1 again on Netflix this last month. Excellent stuff, although rather sillier than I remember!

So, I browse the EDS forum from time to time, and the debate in a lot of the threads is the same: is player X at 17/18/19/20 years old ready for a taste of the first team? I can see valid points made for both sides of the argument. But one question that always comes to mind is: how good are...

I'm well proud of getting an amazing education, somehow getting into Cambridge, loving every weird moment of my time there revelling in being the novelty northerner, and getting a sporting half-blue despite being fat and unsporty, and then going on to get a PhD with published, novel research...

Not seen anyone mention Milner (although I've not looked very hard) or Lampard...

Nice to see a lot of recommendations for Northumberland.... so here's my list of just the 10 best places in my home county, and just outside... 1. Farne Islands, especially May/June when there are thousands of sea birds and seals 2. Lindisfarne / Holy Island 3. Druridge Bay 4. Cragside NT...

Not bad views in Northumberland in the end, and the cloud actually helped... https://scontent-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/1484688_10152889081612739_7632355733295492307_n.jpg?oh=c5084af8803a168fc917713aac37fdc5&oe=55759932

What a mixed up performance that was! Joe Hart: world class! Yaya: pretty dire Team performance: mostly disappointing, but....but....we still created some reasonable chances, and although Barca could have had 6, we could have had 3 or 4. But it's so frustrating to see us give the ball away...

Haha! When I saw the thread title, I thought that this would be the subject!

I drink on my own quite frequently. I travel a lot for work, and spend a lot of nights away in hotel rooms in random cities around Europe, so there's not much else to do other than sit in your room watching foreign telly, or go out and try to find a decent local bar. I've got favourite bars in...

My grandmother had a premonition about my grandfather's death about a week before he died.... I'm no believer in any of this kind of thing (any more) but it was remarkably accurate, and spooky in the extreme.

Aches.... my god, everything aches. A lot. I'm "only" mid-40s, and although I've never been particularly fit, I still cycle 1500 miles a year.... but I'm crippled for a couple of days after any ride longer than 10 miles. My back hurts, my legs hurt, even my feet hurt. WHat the hell will I be...

I heard she was a rag, too...

Exactly this. If we were to just hate both teams because they are/were managed by a bullying, arrogant tosser, then Chelsea still have another 20 years or so to catch up. Even my Grandma used to spit out "That Ferjie's been on the telly again" and she was 95 and half senile (her use of the "soft...

I think these are all volleys in the commentators' sense of the word "volleys". It annoys me all the time when commentators call a volley when the ball has already bounced, which they do a lot....

my favourite pet when I was young was my hamster, Humphrey. He was very agile, and lived to the ripe old age of 3 years, but he came to rather a grizzly end. We used to leave his cage open, and he could climb in and out of it whenever he wanted; he was more-or-less house-trained, and would go...

It's a quite understandable feeling, especially after what you have been through with your brother. It's very different, I know (because grandparents are "expected" to die), but I was 17 when my grandfather died, and although at that time I had some belief in the afterlife, I found myself...
