  1. Oops, so they are. I didn’t look any further than Southampton. I wonder why they do that? Usually they pu TBA or similar.
  2. The BBC has it down as the Saturday at 3:00 pm
  3. I've always liked him. Strikes the ball well. A proper footballer. Probably never going to be a top international but one of the first on your team sheet.
  4. We can take them. As Shakespeare wrote in Henry V, "If we are mark’d to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour."
  5. I tried that once but I couldn't close the door.
  6. With a nasty cough like that you can't possibly go to work 😜
  7. That usually works the other way.
  8. Bugger. That means I shall miss it.
  9. Yes, weird. I suppose that the last two rounds are at Wembley makes a difference.
  10. They seem rather pleased with themselves. I'm surprised they've still got the energy.
  11. I saw somewhere that Arsenal were blaming the wind. He should keep off the onions.
  12. Please don't ruin it. The last thing we need now is the kiss of death.
  13. Well bugger me backwards with a bargepole. I wasn't expecting that. So three visits to Wembley this year?
  14. Walls don't have any relatives.
  15. But how fast was the wall going?
  16. Not quite. One hand but a few thousand hairs. But I've got no sympathy. If you're going to have a ponytail then it's asking to get pulled.
  17. Just look at the photo.
  18. And Edozie is holding the Norwich player's shirt. Half a dozen of each.
  19. Because my judgement wasn't wrong.
  20. Why because he was offside and ran towards the ball???
  21. Mistakes? Six points is a lot. And all down to just the one player. Wow. Any in particular tgat you'd care to share? Conveniently ignored the points that he gained for us, of course. Personally I think that five at the back was significantly more significant.
  22. I agree. The high kick was surprising. Difficult to see how close it was from my position and angle but but usually you would try to nip that sort of behaviour in the bud. I think he tried too hard to keep the game flowing but sometimes a few quick free kicks are needed to let the players know where the tolerance level is set. A referee needs to sense early on when the games should be allowed to flow and when a touch on the brakes is needed. This judgement comes with experience but as the saying goes, "Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment"
  23. Indeed they are wonderful, but the National Trust is ridiculously expensive.
