This is the problem. Even under Rogers you could see what they were trying to do although it was ultra-defensive sideways passing but today there just didn’t seem to be any strategy or tactics whatsoever.

Ndidi was doing his job as a ball winner ok but he was being asked to play as a 10 looking for the scoring pass which he failed at miserably. Just because he did it once last week doesn’t mean he can play the role.

It is a simple fact that it is not possible to project a 3-D situation onto a 2-D image without a loss of information so unless the camera is more or less in line so effectively eliminating one dimension they are trying to do the impossible. The operator has no way to tell how far above the pitch JJ’s foot was so can’t know when to stop the vertical line, this obviously affects where the horizontal line goes. Dermot was just talking bollocks as usual about the technology always being right and the two nodding donkeys just went along with him. VAR should have the option to say “Sorry, we haven’t got a good enough picture here so we stick with the on-field decision”

I’ve driven dozens of EVs while plating and this is by far the worst I have come across. Checking online since I posted the max claimed is only 124 so about 80 useable with no accessories and reduced performance. Ok if all you do is short commutes and can charge at home/work but who buys a Cooper S for that kind of driving?

Originally dynamic pricing was airlines reducing the price as the date of a flight got nearer to try to fill the plane. The unintended consequence of this was that people waited for a ‘last minute bargain’ so airlines didn’t know how much revenue they were going to get until very late. If there is one thing businesses hate it’s uncertainty. Now the cheapest flight tickets are almost always on the day they are released and are increased according to the level of demand. The best (worst) example of this I have seen was the day the UCL fixtures were announced with hundreds of us frantically refreshing the RyanAir website before the announcement and the prices going up just because we were looking.

Anyone got any experience with a Mini Cooper S EV? I picked one up today to transfer to another dealer on Monday with 85% remaining charge and about 90 miles range. Stopped to charge on the way home and it is now sat on my drive with 58% charge and 61 miles range. This means roughly 1% charge = 1 mile range so keeping it between 20% and 80% charge gives a useable range of 60 miles. This was driving in green+ mode (no air con etc) and 20 degrees outside so goodness knows what it would be in freezing temperatures. Added to which who wants to drive a Cooper S in anything but Sport mode. Is this normal or is the battery fúcked?

The “We don’t want any more Leicester Cities” was in a slightly different context because nobody ever suggested we bought our way to the title in 15-16. The club with the biggest interest in this is the one with vast amounts of wealth that the rules do not allow them to spend. What they really mean is they don’t want any Newcastle Uniteds.

I have been saying this for a while but I would make the bond the cumulative loss over the previous 3 years whatever division the club had been in. You would probably have to do it progressively initially but if a club can’t make the bond then they have a transfer ban until they can. FFP was always about stopping clubs going bust not levelling the playing field.

It’s the inconsistency that winds up fans, players and managers alike. Both Skipp’s tackle and Tiellemans on Vardy could be described as ‘man and ball’ so either neither is a foul or they both are. Neither was dangerous so my preference is play on. It’s never a good sign when both sets of players and fans constantly questioning decisions. I don’t think he was biased, just breathtakingly incompetent. He lost control early on and never regained it but then it’s what we have come to expect from too many Premier League referees.

Spurs fans have always been a particular favourite target for him. Along with Palace and West Brom for some reason.

The last manager we had with strong Forest connections was not greeted enthusiastically by the fans - favourites for relegation but got a team playing with some fight. Didn’t turn out too badly if I remember correctly.

We spent part of our honeymoon camping at the foot of Mont Blanc but that was a long time ago. If you get chance take a trip up the cable car to the Aguille de Midi, ideally early morning. The view from the top across the Alps is breathtaking - literally because you are at about 11000 feet.

It depends on how many days you are going for or if it is just the final day but our general strategy is as follows: Pick up a relatively unknown group at the first. Less crowds will give you more chance to see the course. On about the 6th, get into a grandstand (or a good viewing spot around the green) stay there for an hour or so, hopefully some of the big names will come through in that time. Now pick up another group and follow them until about the 12th. Again, a less well known name will let you see more. Repeat the process, sit around the green for an hour or so. Finally follow a group round to 18 and get the best spot you can to watch the finale. You can, of course, just go straight into the underserved section of the grandstand and be sure of a good view of the winning putt but you miss out on seeing the rest of the course. If you are only going for one day personally I would go with my plan.

Much has already been said: No VAR ✅ Likeable players and manager ✅ Actually winning games ✅ Some banging new songs ✅ I would add actually being allowed to tackle meaning less play-acting and waving of imaginary cards.

5 wins out of 6 is enough, we have a game in hand remember.
