Kelly has arrived in Australia. Understandably put a few pounds on since her heyday but she’s still got a couple of things to offer.

These anniversaries of things you remember like yesterday were depressing enough when they were 20 & 30 years ago. Now it's hitting the half century mark, I'm feeling like I may as well just camp outside the undertakers, to save them the bother of coming round.

It's pretty much a standard reaction amongst virtually every player in the league now, that if you get fouled ( or even if you don't ) you screech like a little girl, roll around a few times and then lie motionless clutching whichever body part is handy, until everyone gives you a little bit of...

I've been wondering if, no attacking players in the six yard box until corners have been taken, might be a good rule change? You'll still get all the fucking about on the edge of it but at least it would end the tedious pushing and shoving and manoeuvring for position around the 'keeper.

It was interesting. Not really sure they'd be a huge demand for the Guide Bridge to Stockport line? But as it's already a passenger line, it may not need a huge amount of investment to bring it up to scratch for a more regular service. Similarly with making the Altrincham line more frequent...

I would have rather put my bollocks in a fruit blender than go to a musical for the first 40 years of my life. And then I met a girl a bit out of my league, who was into shit like that, so agreed to go along to a few shows. There were a couple that were as bad as I imagined but have to admit I...

Three comfortable but not embarrassing defeats was probably about as good as England could have realistically hoped for. You don't need to be an expert to see there's clearly a huge gulf between the sides. Fortunate for England and probably Super League that the Aussies never really clicked in...

The vast majority of the clubs in the National League are full time professional these days. If you live at an extreme point in the country, travelling is always going to be an issue. Truro for example have nearly 150 miles to their NEAREST away game this season. There is also always a heavy...

Neither did I, but hey ho, it's all good fun.

It obviously takes slightly longer for two substitutes at the same time, than one. But there hasn't been an increase in the number of times play can be stopped for substitutions for 30 years.

Sunderland lost their last five league games last season and then I watched them scrape past a much superior Coventry team and then Sheff. Utd. in the final and thought, I'm really pleased for them, but my God they're going to be so far out of their depth in the Prem. that Derby's low points...

I don't even care if it was genuine or a set up but my favourite ever clip on Twitter, was that one where the pizza guy walks out of the shop, knocks on the door literally adjoining the shop and a big, fat girl in pyjamas answers and takes the delivery off him.

As mentioned in another thread, IFAB did discuss speeding up re-starts at their latest meeting. I struggle to see how it can be implemented though. The laws of the game don't just apply to the top tiers of football, with multi ball in use. What about lower down the pyramid when they have to...

Like every measure ever brought in with the good intention to speed up the game, it was immediately seized upon and exploited by coaches, looking to find a way it could be used to cheat.

How many minute's silence have there been recently that are unrelated to football or local events, apart from Remembrance Day or the Queen dying, which it seems are both still ok? Only one that springs to mind was that guy who had his head lobbed off in Iraq and that was over 20 years ago.

I'm more interested in someone who joined the forum in 2008 knew that 'Fourinarow' would be a good nickname on here?

Yes, I appreciate you'd have to be very old. But the number of people over 100 has doubled in the last 20 years and quadrupled in the last 40. So I reckon they'll still be a handful knocking about. The other thing is about 80% of over 100s are women. I've no idea what % of a typical crowd at...

I know this is just for fun, but it's got me wondering how many people might still be alive who saw City at Hyde Road? I'd imagine there's still some. But can't be many left now.

Everything is a breeze when you're young. I can absolutely guarantee that if we were still at Maine Road, the same people whinging on a weekly basis about the public transport to the new ground, would be doing the same about getting to and from Maine Road.
