The Midlands is the bit of no man's land in the middle that has all the bad bits from the north and all the bad bits from the south and is just there to act as a UN-esque buffer zone between the two.

I quite like that!

Almost, but being from the South anything above NORTHampton is North.

Midlands doesn't exist whoever heard of a North /Midlands Divide or a South / Midlands Divide.

Yep I watched it….thought it was never going to end !! Tommy really blew it - or his caddy did to be more accurate. On the 18th before the playoff he advised him to take the iron and lay up put of the rough. No idea why he did that - the lie looked fine to get his 5 wood on it and he would have bee...

Fleetwood was excellent in his final round of the 72 holes but he was bloody awful on all the play off holes. So many poor shots, maybe we "big up" our guys too much in these events certainly Sky's coverage does.

Wouldn't dream of telling VK his job but there's another lad at Southampton who is a bit good and can play up front.

Just to throw another curveball into the goalkeeping discussion, Daily Telegraph journalist Luke Edwards is saying Leyton Orient keeper Lawrence Vigouroux is set to sign for us. https://twitter.com/LukeEdwardsTele/status/1668159104580296707 Can't see it happening but Vigouroux is a very good goalke...

I worked there as a student in the summer of 1990. Was having a wonderful time till the Germans won the WC!

Best 6 months of my life though....

I've been there 4 times now....not in the Jagerhouse though...... that first view of the castle from the Marien Brucke never disappoints.

The Jagerhouse in Neuschwanstein Germany, early winter night time views of a floodlit Schloss Neuschwanstein were absolutely stunning and once the tourist hoards had gone for the day the silence was fantastic.

Football Fancast suggesting £2M for Lyndon Dykes as our target "focal point".

aclaretinstevenage

I'm guessing Sky had a lot to do with this. Their editorial has - to me - been getting closer to supporting all things LIV this year as opposed to promoting the up and coming players.

aclaretinstevenage

£1600 per month for a family with two kids will go further in Jarrow than it will in East Finchley so I'm not sure a flat rate will be the solution.

It will be interesting to see the actual results if it goes ahead.

I have two total 't knee replacements and get Patella Tendonitis even now. Granted I don't play top level football in my late sixties but that doesn't sound like a serious injury to someone who does.

aclaretinstevenage

Varane and Casemiro both turned away from a very weak shot meaning De Gea sees it late........but he still should have stopped it.

aclaretinstevenage

Anthony Taylor is perhaps the "best" referee left now...........and that speaks volumes about the standards!!

He did well in the dreadful Europa League cheat fest during the week though to be fair to him.

Alex MacDonald has signed a deal for next season with Stevenage which will be the third time he has played for Steve Evans - Gillingham and Mansfield the others.

Along with George Boyd and Nathan Peel I think MacDonald is just the third player to have played for Burnley and Stevenage.

The significance of the win at Boro' will have it as favourite I think but for me QPR away was total dominance and with the special celebration with the manager after JBG's free kick it gets my vote.

Occasionally go to Barnet or Borehamwood and on a very rare occasion Hitchin Town.

The perfect response for all those who think this is the best way to go up. I’ll take being able to sit watching it on tv.

The best way to go up is by being Champions so yes being able to watch others suffering is quite satisfying.

The fact Sky Sports are reporting he was conscious when taken into the tunnel and his parents have gone to the medical room suggests more than a leg/ankle injury. Wish him well. He attacked a corner in the Coventry box clashing with a defender. To then fall down as he did a minute or so later could...

I hope it works out for him, just wondering how the impact on his family will affect things seeing as how they seemed so settled in the North. Will they all move down?

Virtually no point watching a City match if you are a neutral unless they are playing one of the top 4 sides. Nobody else can get near them.
