Right. It's quite painful listening to him giving his "analysis" of these games. I'm not just sneering at his accent or anything, but he clearly isn't very good at conveying his thoughts. If he has any, that is.

I was just going to write that Gary James's "Farewell to Maine Road" is a fabulous book, with innumerable photos of the old ground. The ultimate record of what was once a great stadium.

Footballers with their socks pulled up over their knees. Don't they realise how stupid they look?

Is the Imperial War Museum in China?

My wife's gone to Indonesia Jakarta? No, she went by plane My wife's going to Provence to see the old papal palace. Avignon? No, she's deadly serious I know this youmg woman from a university in North Wales. Bangor? No, we're just good friends,,,,

Quite right. I read reviews on Trip Adviser about pubs or hotels and find that "the chips wwere amazing" or "the staff were amazing", or even "the bread was amazing". I have never been amazed by a chip or some bread in my life. For some reason, it is used o mean "very good", which is a total...

I don't know if this is the right thread, but I've just been looking at the Home forum on here, then history/players/ A-Z subsection, letter A, and I can find no mention of Julian Alvarez. Is this deliberate or just an oversight? Ric?

The next decade or two? No use to me - I won't be here then, nor obviously the next decade.

It's here to stay, yes, but "cntinue to refine & improve"? We've had it, what, five years now, and there's just as many cock-ups and bad call as ever there were, if not more. I don't see it improving, because there is still so much subjectivity involved that there will always be controversy...

Noah receives a visitation from God. The conersation runs thus: God: Noah, I want you to build me an ark. Noah: Yes, Lord, like the one I built when we had the gerat flood? God: Well, this is a bit different. I want it built ten decks high. Noah: And you want me to fill it with animals, two...
