Good game and a great result. I thought Kante was very good last night while Maggasa wasn't.
Just hope Summerville's injury isn't too bad

15 for yesterday and 12 for today, thanks Zico

12 today thanks Zico.  But I think a case could be made for Jane Austen being closely associated with Dorset. AI would seem to agree , if you concur, you can add a point 😉 Yes, Jane Austen is strongly associated with the county of Dorset, specifically the coastal town of  Lyme Regis , which she visi...

Watched on the box last night, before the game I said I would settle for a scrappy 1-0 win and that is exactly what it was. I also predicted that the ref would be poor because he was inexperienced. But it doesn't explain just how bad VAR was; there was a deliberate move towards the ball for the hand...

Black Heart aside, Brewdog beers were over hyped rubbish, and if "fans" of them put money into the company, they simply doubled up on their lack of judgement. Feel sorry for the workforce and the treatment they appear to have received.

I've always wondered why refs hold up play to go and warn players while waiting for the corner. Just give a penalty or free kick straight away. They know the fucking rules. I agree but I think if there are two players pushing and shoving each other before the corner and the ball isn't in play the r...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0431l6lzpyo If, like me, you are fed up with the ridiculous amount of holding that now takes place in games, you might enjoy the above article.  When you've read it, post a suggestion to solve the problem. I would suggest a change is needed, not just at...

15 thanks Zico A pedantic note or two, just because I haven't had one for a while😀 The Elgin Marbles have little to do with the town of that name but are linked to the Lord that shares his title with the town's name. And for even more nit pickiing Gretna Green is a small village not to be confused w...

Spurs .. will be safe on 46     Not a chance they come close to that. Maybe survive sure but not by that amount of points. Look at their fixtures mate. They have an easy run-in 😢 Spurs           0         Fulham  away 3 1 0   1.166666667         Palace home 3 3 1   2.666666667         Liverpool awa...

I have today brought out the spreadsheet for a bit of PERT-based analysis. Used normally to predict the expected time for events in projects, I have adapted the method for assessing the likelihood of points being achieved ( rather than timings). I won't bore you with the workings, but in previous ye...

14 thanks Zico, I'll let you know if it is a good weekend at about 7.30 pm tomorrow

The origins of the club are as shipbuilders in London. Mot sure why you'd be so desperate to claim the club as some poncey Essex turnout. Not sure why you think I am trying to make out that West Ham are some sort of "poncey" Essex outfit. West Ham was historically part of Essex that is al...

I didn't know this until I just checked it ot but it seems The Thames Ironworks was itself primarily on the Essex bank of the River Lea. From AI The Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company was primarily situated on the  east bank of BowCreek  (Canning Town/West Ham side).  However, the company wa...
