    Sorry to say this again but ….

    I'm as confident as I was going in to the Leicester match.

    Coventry City tell their fans "No Persistant Standing" at home games!>>>>

    Fixed that for you. Moaning is what we do.

    What was your favourite arcade machine

    There was a great one called Gauntlet in the 80s; first one I recall that allowed more than 2 people to play together. There was also a Japanese-made football game (possibly called Super Sidekicks, but I may be wrong about that). It was clearly made by people who hadn't watched too much...

    A summer of short form cricket

    I agree about Sri Lanka, but the West Indies always have a chance of winning a match. I think they've won a test on each of their last 2 tours of England, and drew 1-1 in Australia this Winter. Their problem isn't a lack of talent; it's a lack of consistency, and when it all comes together they...

    Just been watching all of Mike Tyson’s knockouts on YouTube

    Looking back, Tyson's rise looked unstoppable. From pro debut to capturing the world title was less than 21 months. In that time, he had 28 fights and won them all. Yes, a lot of those fights were only 1 round, and you do wonder about the quality of the opponent that he was paired against, but...

    Fenerbahce

    I think I recall a proposal for a league between the biggest clubs from the low countries, Scotland and Scandinavia a few years back. Big clubs who had seen their stock fall due to playing in small leagues. I don't think UEFA blew the whistle on it; there just wasn't the enthusiasm for Rangers...

    Best free kick scored by a boro player

    Agree about Jimmy. What took the shine off FRs for me was the number of freekicks he'd taken previously that were a danger to the shipping behind the North stand. My reaction was to that one going in vs City was more "well one of them was bound to go in eventually" rather than "what an amazing...

    Most underrated premier player ever

    Southgate is a good shout, as much for his on pitch leadership as anything else. Ugo, for all his talent and physical ability, was not as good a player without GS alongside him. Riggott was better with GS there too. I think Carrick is a decent shout too. For all he was never that high profile...

    Famous people who fooled you with their real accent.

    Tony Cozier. One of the great cricket commentators, fantastic accent. But I only found out he was white on his death.

    The Schmeichels

    Gudjohnsons were the ones that sprung to mind for me. I think Eidur might be the only player to come on as sub for his Dad in an international match? I wondered about the Charltons (brothers, I know) but Jackie didn't get close. The Ayew brothers both have over 100 caps for Ghana, but their...

    Hope we go for it this summer

    Feels like a good year to do it, given the teams coming down. We brought in some raw talent last season; it's had its chance to adapt to the English game, next season will be the time to deliver. I do think the sales this Winter have put us in a good position. I am wary of trying to change too...

    Steve Bruce on Mike Ashley

    Is that massively out of line with Newvcastle's history? Between the end of the 2nd world war and the Keegan promotion, they spent 16 of 46 seasons in the 2nd tier in 4 spells: over a third of their seasons. They finished in the top 5 of the top division on 3 occasions. They had a decade...

    San Marino have taken the lead in a football match!

    Yes, I suppose if they're not good enough to qualify, we have to trust that they'll get knocked out before the finals. I do think 24 qualifiers is too many though. If a team that loses that heavily in qualifying still makes it, I don't really know what purpose the qualifiers serve. I don't base...
