I love Twickenham if someone bungs me a ticket.
I used to go to every Oval test (all 5 days) but it got so expensive I jacked that in.
Also really love Wimbledon but I don’t watch any other tennis. In my younger days I would queue up to get in.
During a 2 year stint of going to the US a lot I discovered baseball. Now that is a game I could watch a lot.
No interest in Formula 1, NFL or NBA. Golf-there was a time when I played twice a week. It got too time consuming. Now the professional game is a joke. Sky TV and Saudi sportswashing. Ughhh. As for boxing—should be banned globally. |

I’m no great fan of Starmer but the Tories have to go. Labour it is. I don’t need to spell out the reasons in full, but how about these;
Inflicting Brexit and telling porkies on an epic scale.
They partied, people’s relatives died.
Use the Rwanda outrage as ludicrous alternative to a fair and well run asylum policy (with legal routes to enter the U.K. to address the small boats issue).
Hollowing out the public realm so that nothing works any more.
Pretending that climate change is someone else’s problem.
I could go on. Just do it and throw the rascals out!! |

I can see Luton strolling to automatic promotion. Burnley will fall apart if Kompany leaves. Sheffield United look to be in free fall.
There is a chance to make it up-but don’t bet the farm please. I also think Eze will stay at Palace for another season. Glasner has really got them going and European football is possible if everyone stays. So no crock of gold from there (just yet). |

My interest in boxing crashed when Bradley Stone died after a boxing match. I knew him. He worked in our firm’s mail room. He was one of those cheery cockney guys. Always cheerful. What a waste that was. So no more boxing for me. |

20 years? Crikey. I wore my retro top to that one. I’ve never worn it since. Was lucky enough to be about 10 rows back in the upper tier and right behind the goal. It was SO loud. |

Alcatraz is hard to get tickets for. Book in advance. Take a boat ride out to the Golden Gate. It’s just great. If you have time go to Sausalito. |

Was happy to see Manure have their backside handed to then by Palace. Eze is almost Bowles like. He can do anything (including being misunderstood by a tactically inept England manager). |

Stoke are ahead of us by having scored 3 goals more, so if we do better than they do in the last 2 games we go above them. They are away to Southampton and home to Bristol City. That is another possible insurance policy. |

The scenarios for us to go down are now getting into fantasy island. Assuming we get nothing from the last 2 games;
At least two of the following need to happen for us to be relegated. Any points secured in the last 2 games makes us safe anyway,
Huddersfield need two wins and to reverse a goal difference of 11.
Birmingham need a win and a draw, but if Hudds beat them (see above) they can’t catch us.
Wednesday need a win (and reverse a goal difference of 13). I assume WBA will win their game against them. They are at Sunderland on the last day. Had they lost today we would now be all but safe.
Plymouth need a win and are away to Millwall and home to Hull.
Blackburn need a point from matches against Leicester and Coventry. |

Was he the one who came on as sub in his first game for us and immediately crocked himself? |

Lower Loft terrace or East Paddock in the early 80’s. Then season ticket in T block (wonderful view and great atmosphere). Since mid 2000’s have lived away so occasionally in SAR (more comfortable but less atmosphere). Occasional Upper Loft as well in the early 80’s. Never been in School End. |

It did. I love this piece. Wasn’t at the Leeds match but certainly was for that Spurs match. Penrice’s goal was perhaps my favourite. That dummy. Brilliant. |

To enlarge on my theme, I think Marti is currently studying at what I would call the senior command college. In a couple of years we will see which of my two types he is. Therefore, he should stay with us for a bit to burnish his credentials. As others have pointed out, there will probably be a bit more money next season. |

My perspective on football managers is that they can be divided into field marshals and sergeant majors. The ones who drop you in it are the latter who think they are the former.
Examples;
Mark Hughes
Steve Bruce
Steven Gerrard (surely the most overrated manager ever)
Wayne Rooney
Steve McClaren |

Great pictures. My personal favourite is the one where Jimmy Dunne lets fly. If I were him I’d have an A1 sized framed version hanging in my sitting room. |
