Love to visit London but I think it would be a difficult city to grow old in. Transport/pace of life etc. It's a younger person's city.

Some good shouts here. Streisand, Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell. Surprised no one has mentioned Judith Durham from The Seekers. Class act, whatever age you are.

Yes. The Czech anthem was used by Dvorak in his concert overture My Home. Brilliant anthem.

A few shining wits on here:-)

Not sure about that. Wasn't Yaya critical of Bony's fitness and physique in the period after the African Nations Championship?

And this false consciousness, according to Marxists, has been cultivated by the capitalist ruling class. The proletariat are compliant due to the encouragement of jingoism/empire and the false sense of social and racial superiority that convinces some of the working class that they are above...

There is some truth in that. Marx the historian and economist eclipses Marx the political philosopher. His most lasting legacy is his brilliant analysis of capitalism. He knew exactly how it worked (both he and Engels should, after all) and predicted its development. Capitalism's subsequent...

Happy Xmas War is Over (John Lennon) Fairy tale of New York (Kirsty McCall and the Pogues) Solstice Bells (Jethro Tull)

Joe (and many of us for that matter) sees himself as an elite player. As has been pointed out, the elite teams are served excellently by top level keepers so I don't buy into the argument that dropping Joe will lead to him seeking a transfer. I also think Joe is above that. There are very good...

There is no other player in our squad who can make such basic and regular errors with impunity. If Pantillimon impresses on Wednesday I would keep him in goal for the weekend. Hart is a good goalkeeper but he doesn't command the area at set pieces and acts crazily in situations like today...

Joe was certainly at fault today. Can't help wondering whether his impetuosity this season (remember the Villa game) is based partly on our high line and the need for the goalkeeper to act as a de facto sweeper when long balls are played over the top. He seems primed to rush out and is...

Stayed in the Hotel Croatia in Cavtat. Great hotel in a lovely town with easy access to airport and Dubrovnik. One of our best holidays. Enjoy!

You need to apply some chamois cream before you head out. You can get this in any good cycle shop. It's also worth getting some repair gel in case you break the skin because of friction burns. If you are new to cycling you just need to bed in your saddle. The more miles you do the less painful...

Re: Samir Nasri is NOT useless Ex-Arsenal. Spurs played before us. While not a London crowd, I think there was a bandwagon effect.

I disagree ever so sightly in that I think Quintana had exactly the right idea, what he needed though was for some of the other GC contenders to roll the dice and try and go with him. If two or three of them had gone up the road together they would have had a much better chance of forcing an...

Quintana showed real guts but his strategy benefited Sky alone, and as someone here has said, all Froome needs to do now is stay upright. I actually thought he looked really uncomfortable on the last climb while Porte seemed the stronger. However, his acceleration was amazing - he destroyed the...

On the subject of hard to remember defenders - Dragoslav Stepanovich anybody? He was a CB of course. think he arrived at a similar time to Deyna. Ah, the memories.

I'm pretty certain Kenny Clements was a right back (perm and moustache) - Corrigan; Clements; Booth; Watson; Donachie at the back and what a defence that was!

Totally agree. Women's cycling is outstanding at the minute. Arminstead, Trott, King and Rowsell were Quality. While all track riders do lots of road work as part of their training schedules, the ability to perform at the top level in the velodrome and on the roads is quite remarkable and the...

I'm not sure whether the dynamic between van Garderen and Cadel Evans will be positive enough to help the American. That said BMC have looked strong this year. I would agree with the point about how unpredictable the first week of the Tour can be - anything can happen as Wiggins found out in...
