I thought this was going to be a new range of hospitality boxes in football stadia to encourage fans to bring their spouse. "It might be 0-0 with no chance of salvation from the bench, but you can still score with the Smooch Cabin!"

It looks like a scene from Inception, doesn't it?

I seem to recall songs being sang about Barmby's wife when he returned to our ground with Everton. Can't remember any specific words. Not a player, but my father in law was in the Leeds away end at Burnley in the 60s and remembers them chanting "Sieg heil!" at Montgomery when he came out on the...

A lot of teams seem to have different shapes for in/out of possession. I think that with the huge increase in athleticism over the past 20 years, formations aren't to be followed dogmatically when wingers and forwards are routinely getting back throughout the whole match and defenders are...

I'd often enjoy flicking through Playstation World magazine at a friend's house in the late 90s. No place for it now in a world of YouTube streams, walkthroughs and reviews. I think every other magazine I got as a kid is still going in some shape or form.

It's so tedious now that they go into March a few points behind and a couple of games in hand. I've no love for Arsenal or Liverpool but they have provided genuine competition and while yes they have both spent big over the years, everyone knows that City have got these judgements looming yet...

I saw them getting off the team bus at their hotel yesterday and stupidly thought that they wouldn't want to come all this way for a spanking again. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Didier Drogbank. Mohammed ISAleh.

If they're not passing out from the back then they might have a real find on their hands...

It would be a return to the glory days of a fat bloke up front who loves the booze and fags, yet has a graceful touch to curl it into the net after a big kick up front.

I would lap up every second of the inauguration speech at the Capitol when Trump is held back by Melania, Obama stands there with faux shock on his face as... Bahgawd, it's W Bush with the chair!

Brede Hangeland. Must've been about 6'5 and we spent the entirety of a 0-0 against Fulham floating high balls towards him during Southgate's relegation season. The man must have lost 10% of his IQ by 5pm after making so many clearances with that elevated bonce of his.

There is a very interesting book about the fall of Labour heartlands to the Tories by Sebastian Payne and it's relevant to Houchen because he is closely aligned to the tactics of Johnson. When the author spoke to people who went Tory, it was predominantly about 'talking up the area.' Not...

The quality and quantity of television coverage in the top leagues makes it even more ridiculous when these people act like Hannibal Lecter has just tried to peel their face off after a feather touch to anywhere within a foot of their chin. Looks embarrassing, everyone can see you're making...

I think we barely touched the ball in the first three minutes while they just passed it sideways and made no attempt to get to our goal. The Swansea manager could look at it positively and say that they killed the atmosphere with their boring tactics. As for a charity match, they were the one...

Replacing a player who is comfortable with the ball at his feet is incredibly difficult in this league because so many of them were hoovered up as youngsters by PL clubs and drift between loans earning more than any of our first team. That's why McGree is a good example of looking further...

Mine have enjoyed the Tower, a ride on the riverboats between Westminster and Greenwich, the museums in Kensington, ice creams by the river at Embankment, visiting the Lego store in Leicester Square. But if your kids are more cultured than mine they may prefer tea at Fortnums and retiring to...

Now I'm just imagining a real life Roy Kent from Ted Lasso...

I still recall the guffaws on FMTTM when he was wanting £40k p/w and claimed that the reason he wanted £10k more than the Boro offer was that he likes to give lots of money to charity.

Sometimes these published figures for musicians are way off the mark if they simply multiply tickets sold by average cost because she doesn't get every cent and penny from ticket sales. Trucks, drivers, air freight and dancers don't work with a musician as a charitable donation.
