It was freezing and wet that day (just before Christmas, wasn't it?). Fair play to him. Agreed, though, great away day; good game, good win, Joe Hart back, and we were loud. The Pablo Zabaleta song really got going that day. For me, I have have fond memories of the 3-2 win at QPR, November 2011...

Clichy was a top, top player. That 2011/12 season we were blessed wtih four top full-backs (be it through talent or form). I'd put Clichy first, Delph second, Kolarov third. I think Mendy is awful and I'd probably think that were he playing for us 10-20 years ago. We're a much better side with...

Mine was only a mild dose as my depression wasn't too serious (as much cause by physiological/biological imbalance as it was by stress). But that small amount was enough to really give me a huge lift; honestly, it's hard to think of a time in my life when I felt better. I'd say I felt 'cured'...

I was put on sertraline about 5 years ago at a time when lots of shitty things all happened at once and it all got a little too much for me. I found it horribly numbing; just completely took the edge off to the point where I lost the ability to care about anything. Yet I was always aware of the...

I felt they played a big part in the atmosphere that night. As others have said, it was a perfect storm, and the Hamburg fans set the tone. Getting the goal back, chasing the game, Elano out of this world; probably the biggest applause at the end of a game for a losing team I've ever heard...

9 years, in fact! Was 2011, I think. I recall thinking after the game that we looked a proper, title challenging side for sure. They were stubborn, and we hadn't always got results there, but we wore them down with some real quality. As for the Savic comments, I still maintain that he was/is a...

Disc games can be bought second hand and can of course be sold on if you don't want to keep them. Can't do that with digital. So, you might possibly save in the long run if you have the disc option. Furthermore, not every disc game gets a digital release. Most of the 'big' games do, but if you...

Be cautious of these. They are simply Raspberry Pi computers, which can be bought for £30-40, and those SNES/NES/MegaDrive style cases are about the same price. The games (ROMs) can be found on the internet if you know where to look, it isn't too hard. The operating system that runs the...

Xbox Series X is clearly edging the PS5 in terms of specs, but having better specs means nothing if there aren't the games for it. I have both PS4 and Xbox One and the absence of exclusive titles for the XBO has made it a glorified Netflix box; same could well happen for the Series X. Backward...

Like most of you, I lost interest around the time that bloke with the tiger appeared. Not just because of him (although he was bad); the series just seemed to really drop in quality around that time. 16 episodes a season is the main problem; it completely drags out the story and forces the show...

Spot on. There is not a single freedom or right that doesn't come with some restriction, condition or caveat, and for a good and simple reason; an absolute right/freedom inevitably infringes upon the rights and freedoms of someone else. This was properly understood and sorted out over 300 years...

My point was that it's not the 'house' that needs to collaborate - just the Remain parties.

I think tactical voting is going to be the key to resolving this crisis; otherwise, a small Convervative majority is likely (even with the Brexit party splitting the Brexit vote, it's still only a two-way split), as opposed to a 3 or some cases 4-way split amongst Remain voters. I was talking...

I was out yesterday so had to follow the game on that god-awful BBC Sport live feed (which always reads like it's being written by some social media intern whose knowledge of football comes from having played a lot of FIFA). Anyways, when I read for the first goal that Otamendi had been...

Yeah, the PS4 one isn't great. Console players are getting short changed on this; I'd happily fork out for a more robust HOTAS. Well I took a bit of a hiatus after joining the Distant Worlds 2 expedition, got married halfway through and fell behind the fleet as was too busy to play. Ship was...

Thought I was the only Bluemooner who played this! Haven't they released HOTAS stick for the XBox One now? If so I'd recommened it - I use a flight stick for my PS4 and PC accounts and it mkes the game so much more immersive.

A quite devastating read from Canada here : https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-how-bad-is-boris-johnson-we-cant-even-find-the-words/ Interesting to see how Brexit is viewed outside our own media cauldron (away from psychopathic editors and dubious donors). Almost every...

I thought there were unlucky with the penalty appeals; both should have been given, I think. But regardless of that bad luck (or karma some might say), Spurs really do look bad. We should have put 6 or 7 past them, and they didn't really do enough to warrant a result (lots of meaningless...

Couple of weeks ago I went on a trip to Budapest to see some mates. Booked my flights - 09/08/19 to 11/08/19 - and then forwarded the confirmation e-mail to my wife, who is Canadian, a couple of days before I was due to leave. Her iphone tried to be 'smart' by extracting the information from...

Sorry, but I think that has to be one of the worst places in England. A theme park designed purely to fleece tourists and parents. It's a tragic waste; a beautiful castle that played a huge role in our history reduced to stalls selling plastic swords and numerous extra charges to access parts...
