Thanks both

Slightly off topic but don't know where else to put it. Coming up from London but can't leave until late due to kids' school but booked on the City train on the way back as only way of getting home tonight. City train tickets come with express lane or whatever its called for the tram. Do...

I am trying to buy for my 3 kids as I am on the scheme. On the phone for 2 hours and still 39. Got through on the website but it's taking so long to load the seat map that the window you have to complete each purchase has elapsed twice now and now I have to leave. Unbelieveable

... and then back again is a nightmare and means you get home at 02;00. Agree that getting back from Euston will be a problem (although not for me as I live close enough to cab it). Thing is they should make this open to those who already have a ticket (like me) rather than having to fork out...

You'd be surprised - I get the train from London for every home game and there are a lot of Blues on there. I have been waiting for Virgin to set up a late night train for night matches for ages as driving all the way from London up the M6

From the more modern period, these are all amazing: Bulgakov - Master & Margarita Zamyatin - We Grossman - Life & Fate Kurkov - Death & Penguin *might techn ically be Ukrainian but very funny)

Funnily enough when my mate in Singapore sent me the link to the story, this was the first game that popped into my head. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I'd ever seen us beat Liverpool. And whilst a lot of nostalgic rubbish is written about the atmosphere at Maine Road, the Etihad has...

I am genuinely shocked by this. As there was no City game, and given my wife and her dad are life-long Wolves fans, we all went up to Molineux to watch this match. Whilst there was plenty of controversy and passion in the match, the fans were all mingling outside with no hassle at all. I find...

I can honestly say that is is not just a blue-tinted specs thing either. My other half is a Wolves fan (so life has been a little less stressful this season than when we relegated them on the way to the title last time) so she doesn't come to the matches with me and the kids. She was naturally...

Dave I have to agree with this. I have taken my kids (now aged 13, 10 and 8) to as many away games as I can (primarily in London as that is where we now live) and to Wembley on several occasions (never thought I'd be able to write that) including Wigan and Sunderland. I am by no means...

Chris I wasn't saying it was wrong and any group has the clear right to structure its arrangements however it wants provided they are on an arm's length basis. As Petrusha says I am absolutely sure that the club will have had the valuations that sit behind any buy-in checked and re-cheked to...

Petrusha's comments are accurate and helpful but I think saying they are the industry standard is a little much. CSAs are heavily used by IP dependent groups such as those in hi-tech and pharma (with US groups using them very frequently) but less IP rich groups (such as consumer products ones)...

I don't post v often but feel compelled to after last night for the reasons I set out below. In many ways, it is games like last night's even more so than the 6-1, 4-1, 6-3 etc etc that blow my mind as to just how far we have come. I remember Lomas moving to WHam (like Flitcroft to BBurn and...

I can't be bothered checking the stats etc but has he really scored 50 in 74 games. That is an amazing strike rate.

Me too - my 8 and 9 yr old boys would love this plus it's the older one's birthday next month and would this save me buying him some ridiculously expensive lego set he's after

Given the average Tarquin's definition of history seems to be "winning trophies since 1992", I have often wondered how long does their trophy drought need to be before they don't have any either? Presumably, if they can make it a decade without winning anything we can accuse them of not having any?

Had but long lost - had it permanently tied round my wrist in the 70's as that was what the hard older lads did. Not sure it was "silk" in the generally accepted sense however. Wonder what the new kids' scheme will come up with?

Definitely way too emotional to take it in at the time but the train back to my London exile was essentially a 3 hours love in with the QPR fans. I got texts from mates/family who support Liverpool, Everton, Sheff Utd, Leeds, Swansea, Hearts. Wolves and yes Utd etc etc - to a man they were all...

My kids (6,8,12) with me in the family stand - gloryhunters the lot of them.
