Seems these ‘top’ teams simply can’t cope when teams have a go at them - Man City let 3 in yesterday and Liverpool defending was utterly dreadful today - good performance from Untied but helped out by huge holes in the Scousers defence….

Great game with 30 minutes left - Newcastle 3-2 up against Man City

I wonder how much tape he had wrap round it to make it too big ?. Seems a bit OTT when there’s been no other issues and they generally give out suspended deductions first.
Can't have little old Derbyshire beating some of the 'bigger' clubs - better give them a points penalty to make sure they don't win anything.....

We’ve been handed a 2 point deduction because McKiernan’s bat failed to go through a bat gauge due to tape around it against Hampshire ?♂️
Just seen the statement - authorities state that he didn't realise he'd made it too big by taping it but that it is the cricketer's responsibility to ensure that his equipment is 'legal' - and then they penalise the club! - they're as crap as the EFL.....

Yes, it’s great but whilst I’ve not seen the last episode I haven’t really enjoyed Saul’s decline in the past three episodes. His humour and relationship with Kim were his redeeming features and whilst I understand the inevitability (and the parallels with Walter White) it has made it less entertaining. I’ve also missed Gus Fring and Co.
Very clever show, though.
I was of the same opinion, but the final episode is pitched just right and rebalances those previous episodes - think you’ll enjoy it…..

After 3 games I've been pleasantly surprised by the style of play from our opponents so far. - very similar to the Championship
Decent footballing sides and not the expected sh1thousery that I'd heard about - and no constant long balls, long throws or time wasting.
However, this week we play against a Steve Cotterill side & a Scott Brown side - so my opinion may have changed by Saturday night
I'd agree regarding Cotterill, but Scott Brown has been in management for about 10 minutes - not sure it's fair to criticise the style of play from his team just yet....

Why is it any different to any other pushy-shovey in the area?
Because it was so blatant - and because it had a direct impact on the result. Spurs player quite clearly had hold of a big handful of hair and simply pulled the Chelsea player backwards as the ball came into the area. If the ref gives the free kick, Chelsea hoof the ball up the pitch and win the game….

New rule, If you have long bushy hair you are allowed to pull it out by the roots, Chelsea Vs Spurs, Ball was in flight, Incident right in front of the Ref, He has a word gives another corner and Spurs equalise.
And worse than that, VAR reviewed it and didn’t see anything wrong!….

I was on water rates a few years back, Seven Trent put a water meter in FOC, My bills came down by a quarter as being single
I agree it's a lot cheaper for singles or couples (particularly if they have a larger property in a nicer area), but that's countered by big families (or selfish gits that want a lovely green lawn) using a lot more - never understood why the water companies have not pushed for everyone to have a water meter fiited - they wouldn't need to threaten us with hosepipe bans if everyone wwas already being careful about how much they used....

Nobody has said you can't water plants. Pisses me off to see sprinklers on lawns when I walk round where I live.
I've got a hot tub. The water has been in it since winter and I need no more than a bucketful every couple of months to keep it topped up.
I don't have a paddling pool but I would assume that they are emptied onto the garden anyway.
Annoys me more that we have a water meter so have to watch our use of every damn cup of water whereas those on water rates spray the damn stuff everywhere without a care in the world - that and the ridiculous number of leaks that the water companies bleat on about fixing but don't address properly via proactive maintenance....

I'd much rather we signed a young, hungry, goalscorer than an old, well-fed, non-goalscorer.....it's s big no from me...

Was just wondering if him making a prem appearance at the first opportunity would benefit us in the rumoured tribunal
Certainly should - they can hardly claim that they’ve signed him for the youth team now he’s played for them in the Prem….

I did some work in Paris 20 odd years ago - one evening we went to a large 'authentic' (i.e. full of locals) restaurant. One of the British blokes I worked with was a bit of a poncy 'gourmet' type who liked to try and impress with his knowledge of French wines and French food. We all played safe and went for chicken/beef or steak, but Paul had to show off and so ordered Andouillette - when it arrived, it looked (and smelled) like something that had recently been chopped off a donkey. To his credit he did try a mounthful,(but only one) before he pushed it to one side and ordered a replacement.....
