    The Championship Playoffs

    Definitely a difficult one to call, there’s usually a form team or a very good team that missed out, which I guess you’d say is Leeds but they haven’t looked that much better than the rest in recent weeks and seem to be feeling the pressure. I think I’ll go with Southampton as the winner on the...

    I like reading about football players doing things like this.

    Nice gesture! I'm sure for every horror story you hear about overpaid / overprivileged players there are 10 times as many good stories that don't get much, if any, publicity

    The rain in Spain.

    I've got a place in Alicante region, have thought about selling and buying in either Catalonia or Costa del Sol but their issues with water are definitely something that comes into the equation. From what I've read both those regions are a little behind in the investment needed to safeguard...

    Who Did Your Parents Have an Irrational Hatred of?

    Was a very well publicised fact, I seem to think it was mandatory to mention in any interview or profile along with him being a copper

    Who Did Your Parents Have an Irrational Hatred of?

    It's a long list in my case but the one that I remember because it came up almost every week when I was getting right into football was Glen Hoddle, my dad could never see a clip of him on match of the day without commenting about how he wasn't a real footballer!

    London stabbing

    It's shocking and sadly something that happens all too often. This case looks different to the usual gang related stuff but always tragic for all concerned

    Spending Cap from season - 2025-2026

    As said already, the big / rich clubs will have ideas on how to beat ant cap but got to be worth a try as the current system is clearly not fair or working.

    I love biscuits.

    Custard creams, can’t beat either the m&s or waitrose basic range ones for about 40p

    Inside the Force 24/7.

    It’s about the frontline officers and the absolute weapons they have to deal with on a day to day basis. Whatever the management get up to you have to take your hat off to these guys

    Andre Villas Boas

    There was this story about him and the senior Chelsea players in The Upshot last week, probably says more about his lack of ability to manage entitled senior players than him having an ego: It’s hard to think of a club more entwined in the murky world of global capitalism than Chelsea...

    Rogers

    Certainly taking his opportunity at the moment

    Ofwat and the water companies

    Ofwat have been either asleep at the wheel or powerless or both for years absolutely disgraceful the way water companies have been allowed to operate

    Merseyside Derby

    City definitely favourites but chances are they’ll drop a couple of points in one of their games, not sure where as they all look very winnable

    Merseyside Derby

    Great night to be an Everton supporter

    La Liga to start playing league matches in the USA.

    39th game will definitely be top of the PL agenda next meeting, every £££ counts, hugely depressing if this is the future for the big European leagues

    British Bulldogs

    Just seen ExeterBoro mention it on the what sport are you good at thread and believe it needs it's own thread. Loved playing this at school, used to have the odd PE session where the teachers couldn't be bothered so we got told to play BB but the best games where on a lunchtime where we'd have...

    Favourite butter?

    This or other decent French butter always seem to taste slightly better than most standard Brit butter

    Worst jobs

    Way back in time, I worked for a drain jetting and surveying company based in Surrey and we used to do some jobs on the old London system, was fascinating and definitely not the worst job in the world

    What sports were you good at?

    Loved footy above all else but sadly not that good, was the typical lump up front or at the back, however, was pretty decent bowler, was selected to play in one of the Middlesbrough youth teams but holidays and football got in the way so gave it up and was a decent back row rugby player, again...

    Doncaster

    Will be the form team as long as they don’t blow it at the last hurdle, the other 3 whoever they end up being have been a bit hit and miss of late
