    What do fans want to see in a game of football?

    There have been a few comments on the City v Chelsea FA Cup thread about how City are boring to watch and others have mentioned how they like the way they play. None of us are right or wrong and I am sure those making these comments don't want to see a Tony Pulis style football of lumping it...

    Can anyone recommend a Physio?

    I've struggled with neck pain for some time now but after a recent MRI scan, I was told I had rheumatoid arthritis in my spine. I've previously had two operations on my lower spine to fuse discs and was offered an operation on my upper spine some years ago to sort my neck out. I refused at...

    I am amazed at how technology is moving on

    Technology is a wonderful thing and I am amazed at how fast it is moving and allowing people like myself who aren't tech-savvy to use devices to stay in touch with people. On Wednesday, I received a text from my mum stating she was sharing her new phone number. Something we've all done but...

    Liverpool v Man City

    This should be a good game for the neutral and will go a long way in deciding who wins the league. I am sure Arsenal would prefer a draw but it to be close but fancy City to win this one.

    St Peter's Church South Bank

    It is looking more likely that this beautiful old church is going to close and will be demolished if the diocese gets its way. I understand that the numbers attending mass have dwindled over the years but keeping it open is not about how many attend the mass, it is about a building that should...

    Water Rates Gone Up

    Northumbrian Water has had the cheek to put my water rates up by £64.37 a year and we are now paying £613.74. If anything these cheeky gits should be reducing what they charge until they got on top of crap they are pouring into our rivers and seas. I'll show them tonight though, I'm going to...

    Injuries

    According to this list, which isn't accurate (Howson started tonight), we could have a few players returning over the next few weeks and into Easter. Too late to save the season, but we could finish on a high. If fit, all of the players on this list would be in contention to start and have...

    Sky Highlights Boro 3 - 1 Norwich

    The sending off was the game changer. Still not sure if it was a red. Also, Rav and Clarke are dreadful for Nowich's goal. https://www.skysports.com/football/video/30998/13088789/middlesbrough-3-1-norwich-city-championship-highlights

    Birmingham

    I'm just looking at the league table and Birmingham are fifth bottom and only a point above three of the teams below them. At the start of the season, Birmingham looked the part and many on here wondered if they could get into the play-off places. They then decided to sack the manager and...

    BBC Four - The Read

    Alex Kingston is reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Is this an adult version of Jackanory?

    City or United?

    The games got the makings of a good game and could have a say on how the title goes. I would like City to win it and also go on to win the league.

    Redcar & Cleveland Council - Parking Charges

    We all know these councils are on the bones of their backsides but is increasing parking charges on a struggling high street really going to help? It seems there are plenty of business and visitors to Redcar who are not happy about this decision with one shopper stating "Parking charges for...

    Subbed the sub

    I see Morgan came on in the 29th minute and was taken off again in the 79th minute. I haven't been watching the game but know he had previously received a yellow card and not sure if this was to protect him.
