Perhaps you are unaware that 11% of tax collected by the Inland Revenue comes from those who are on the State Pension? Are you suggesting that winter fuel allowance should be means tested? . Yes, of course it should. But that would be "stage 2". We have a bit more of a problem at "stage 1". The win...

Michael Portillo on great railways. A well dressed clown who visits some fabulous places. Great wind down after a days work, would much prefer it was presented by someone else tho. Say Keith Lemon?

Michael Keane is the classiest English defender that I have seen come through for years. Give it a year and he will be the mainstay of the England defence - unless he ends up sitting on a bench at Man City or something. I just wish he was welsh. and that he stays. Burnley has been good for him and v...

He couldn't have been charged by the FA when still registered as a Rangers player. They don't have jurisdiction - the Scottish FA do.

Once he was registered as a player in England, then the English FA could charge him.

If we put a giant mirror 10 light years away from Earth and looked at it through a telescope, theoretically we'd see 20 years into the past. No you wouldn't because it wasn't there 20 years ago so you couldn't look at it. You mean "and looked from earth at the place where the giant mirror had been ...

I don't think we made Swansea look good. Bob Bradley just made them both look and perform exceptionally badly. They actually aren't a bad team, and are, I think, the only ones to take 6 points off us this year without cheating. If only we had played them when they had the American in charge............

Can somebody please remind me? I went to a Maidstone match, but the game wasn't played at Maidstone, it was played near the Dartford Bridge. Whose ground was that and why was it played there? There were about a 1,000 clarets on a covered terrace alongside the pitch. Didn't the pitch have a very big...

Sort of embarrassing, this thread. I spent some time on the committee of a non-league club, and was club secretary for a period and soon learned that slagging players off (even long after they have retired) for being poor is just not on if they have put in their best efforts (or something close too ...

The one that scored against Belgium in the Euro quarter-finals last year, so it can't be an English person and isn't JBG either.............. Admittedly he was born in Southampton, but then the hospital in Chester is in Wales and yet I've never thought of Michael the injury Owen as anything but Engl...

2004/5 Hunters and 1970/1ish.

Being Welsh blooded, I have the characteristic lack of a neck, so ones with collars are never that great.

I prefer Burnley kits to have predominantly claret arms so that I don't get mistaken for a West Ham fan (and they look better anyway).

People bleating on about how good Steven Gerrard was. The English rugby team. What they stand for - and now their irritating coach too.

"Financial Fair Play" is in effect a device that effectively protects already rich clubs from having competition from their "noisy neighbours". It was fine as a concept, but then when put in place actually has an opposite effect from that which was originally intended. But then what did we expect? I...

My travails all started at Eton then on to Harrow for a semester and finally Westminster, an eclectic mix of torture and trial. I broke in to Westminster School on a number of occasions.

Newcastle have been sh1te against Villa regularly of late - even to the extent of that French guy in a tuxedo (Thauvin) winning man of the match one time out.

That said, all 3 of the last games have ended in draws because Villa are (even more) sh1te too (but lucky).

1-1

There's a nasty run of games in the middle that looks as if they'd be lucky to get 4 points from 6 - but then they took 6 points from Newcastle somehow. Thankfully, they are just as likely to get dusted by Burton away.

" nobody knew what they were voting for ". What nonsense. There were only 2 choices. You could say the same after every election. Who voted for a Con/Lib coalition in 2010 ? Nobody.

If you were telling the customer to p1ss off, then, of course, that would have a different calculation than the ham.

It wouldn't be a problem if we were allowed to stand up. Sitting in the rain is crap. Standing isn't too bad. And there are loads of holes in the JM roof - most of which look to be there deliberately for past light fittings or something.

I saw him play about 20 times for Chesterfield, and the version that I see now (say, v Bristol City) isn't the same player in many respects. His distribution looked dreadful, he seemed to worry about going forward (which was always one of his better traits), but still looked ok positionally at the b...

I honestly don't see how this would work in football. It's too easy for the ball to get around the pitch quickly, and if you were injured in your own half, it would hugely affect the offside rule. Teams would also abuse it and aim the ball towards the opposing injured player to try and gain an adva...

I think there are two ways of "improving" it. Either:- a) 1 and 2 go up b) 4 play 5 in the semi-final c) 3 plays the winner of 4 v 5 in the final. Some years that would be much fairer (look how far ahead the 3rd placed team sometimes is) - but I don't think we need to go that far. I'd rather the "or...

Well based on the evidence of the last round, and in particular the number of Bristol City fans that turned up to half fill the away section, (as well as all the previous detail of Lincoln season ticket sales) the allocation was prima facie reasonable.

Ok, so it was loud at the back where we were all standing up for 90 minutes, and not so loud at the front then.
