Footballs heading down a dark path and has been for years, Football is a win at what ever cost, If we fail to win then there's a fall back...the Referee, I've said many times on here...I'm no fan of some of them, They hold winning/losing in their hands, But Taylor imo had a good game, Mourinho thought otherwise, He stoked all this up because of who he is, The Roma fans now believe it was Taylor who cost them the game, Mourinhos tactics or skulduggery need to be seen for what it is...my name if Jose Mourinho and I'm bigger than the game, The media stoke all this up and feed his ego.
Now up to you UEFA👎  

I haven't fact-checked those claims, but the fact that money has ruined the game stands anyhow.

The only thing more risible than old Pip painting himself as the victim in this tawdry affair, is Eamon Holmes giving it the 'come on if you think you're hard enough' routine. Just a pair of narcissistic bellends IMO.
 

Looking at his face, Holmes has been under the hammer.

He says there was no toxicity at This Morning, but later whines that there’s homophobia. He says he’s lost everything yet nobody whipped his £8 million out of his bank account did they? 
The person he feels most regret for is the young man involved. Really? Bet his wife and kids loved that extra little kick in the teeth. He’s unbelievably self centred 

The one thing I've taken from this whole saga is that Eamonn Holmes is an attention-seeking twonk.

Snob

Love the north east, Runswick Bay, Robin Hoods Bay, Alnmouth, Bamburgh. Also Anglesey and Pembrokeshire. 

I know all of those areas well having been area manager for North West and Mid Wales but we now stay in a cottage on a working farm near Abergele. I would hasten to add though that every day we head West towards Conwy, Caernarfon and Anglesey. 

Where do you go?
I'm a fan of the Aberdovey/Barmouth/Harlech/Porthmadog/Criccieth/Abersoch stretch of coastline

We’re off to NW Wales for the third consecutive year in September so I guess we must like it. Might give it a miss next year though and either return to the Lake District of give Northumberland a try.

Currently in the Isle of Wight, which is always a pleasure.
Devon and Cornwall (all over), Suffolk (Southwold / Walberswick), New Forest, the Peaks and the Lakes. 

Mine are Devon, Cornwall, Whitby, Wales{North and South), Isle Of Wight, Lake District. 

They gave England a scare last time they played them in a test, before collapsing in the second innings

Fine as a limited overs game, test cricket only works when the teams are pretty evenly matched. Underdog team pulling out a heroic session or probably ends up not mattering over a 5 day test.

North Yorks Coast/Moors, North West Wales and Dorset as regions,
Southwold and Wells next the Sea as resorts.
Calstock, Langton Matravers and Castleton as villages.

My favourite 5 would be similar to yours. 1. Mansell. 2. Hamilton. 3. Senna. 4. Gilles Villeneuve. 5. Jenson Button. 

Having finished 7th and now in a better financial position, it's obviously reasonable to expect an improvement next year, but at the moment all these "anything less that top 2 is a failure" predictions are not yet based on anything other than expectation of what 'should' be happening because a club of our size and we did well last year yadda yadda.. and it's not yet based on any team we may actually be able to put out as there are going to be a lot of both outgoings and incomings.
Since the end of the season we have lost quite a few players who played a fair few games between them and we have not seen any signings yet due to the window not being open. As such, I can't really say what I expect next year until I have seen how the squad is added to because as of this moment we're paper thin and have a weaker squad than last year. That's not a surprise or a criticism in any way, but I just have no idea what team is going to step out in a Derby shirt yet.

Best 5, not fave 5:
1. Schumacher, 2. Prost, 3. Senna, 4. Alonso 5. Hamilton.
Stewart and Lauder are just ahead of my time but I remember the end of the prost senna days in the early 90s.
Favourite 5:
1. Mansel, 2. Senna, 3. Mark Webber, 4. Mika Hakkonen 5. Montoya

RadioactiveWaste who would you say are the top 5 Formula1 drivers you have seen in your era? My top 5 would be. 
1. Senna. 2. Prost. 3. Lauda. 4. Schumacher. 5. Hamilton. 

Only sports I really like are football, Formula1, cricket and tennis. 

Hopefully. I’d be happy to see him go to Birmingham permanently, even better if we get money out it. They’re an uninspiring move as I can think of and that would make me feel somewhat better about losing a talented player.
