  1. Look at it another way. We have lost 7 and drawn 4, so dropped 29 points. Tranmere have done the same.. MKD have lost 9 and drawn 1, so they have also dropped 29. Wimbledon have lost 9 and drawn 3, so dropped 33. Southend have lost 11 and drawn 2, so dropped 37. So without the 12 point penalty, winning our games in hand would lift us clear. Btw Lincoln have lost 8 and drawn 2, so dropped 28.
  2. Only 6 on bench.
  3. We rarely lose more than one FA Cup-tie in a season.
  4. Brian Leveson struggled with this problem. He pointed out that, no matter what editors say, the issues recur a decade later. The 'freedom of the press' card is used whenever challenged, but framing rules which rein them in while retaining freedom is beyond difficult. Note that Cameron set up the Leveson Inquiry, then changed the terms of reference, and dropped part 2 of the inquiry altogether.
  5. Supreme leader?
  6. and a Nor'n Irishman.
  7. he has, since retiring, spoken about his mental health issues resulting from his obsessional nature.
  8. He ended up in Wellington!
  9. GL6 0FG
  10. My uncle, who emigrated to NZ in 1953 was an RL player (our sideboard clock was a Lancs Junior Cup prize). He hated RU with a passion (even though he played it in the Army). In fact he could not write RU in letters home, but simply referred to "that silly kicking game". What I never understood was why he went to NZ rather than Oz.
  11. It would be faster still if they dispensed with wing forwards (as RL did in 1906).
  12. Liverpool ended their winning streak and their hosts are down in 13th, 2 pts above the relegation zone. What's not to like?
  13. I suggest you binge watch "When the boat comes in" - it is frequently used by James Bolam et al.
  14. but a great finish.
  15. Hobbling?
  16. Shoes have always affected times. Why did Bannister sharpen his spikes in his hospital before his mile record? The IAAF have introduced shoes rules whenever they have felt the need. For example in 1957 high jumpers broke records with a built-up shoe on the take-off foot. IAAF then changed the rules to ban such shoes. And yes, Kosgei has been regarded as the rising star of women Marathon runners for the last couple of years. I agree 2:14 was not yet expected, but 2:16 certainly was. Which played a bigger part, her super shoes or her two male pacemakers?
  17. I was in Waterstones earlier and noticed they had "The Ladybird book about Donald Trump. They also had "Tiny hands soap" and small sweets called "Impeachmints".
  18. When I was a youngster in Warrington, the mid-Cheshire League team from my current pace of residence was Sandbach Ramblers. Not any longer - they merged with Sandbach Town and became Sandbach United.
  19. But if Chorley lose a replay it suddenly becomes Spennymoor away. The alternative to Southport is Altrincham. Dover away is definitely one to avoid.
  20. That's effectively what last out of the bag represents.
  21. Danny of that ilk. Over 100 league appearances for Huddersfield, then 90 for Rotherham and so far 36 for Cardiff (including 14 in last season's PL).
  22. MalcolmW replied to gonzo's topic in Terrace Talk
    Last club drawn gets a bye, plus the £36k for "winning" a tie.
  23. Which was the second club to play home league matches at Wembley?
  24. Birmingham player: "I can see your tits". KB response: "You won't be able to when I sell you to Crewe". And she sold her husband. Twice.
  25. Caused by the off season?
