Fake or ironic Spackmans. A genuine Spackman must be unwitting. |

There have been loads of boundary changes for parliamentary constituencies for this election. Borough boundary changes are much rarer and not connected. Constituencies that straddle borough boundaries are much more common than they used to be. |

That sounds like an awful lot of bollocks. |

What are the differences between the ways that it didn't work with Sven and Capello and the ways it didn't work with all the English managers that preceded them? Are there any? They all failed, I'm not sure nationality has anything to do with it, |

I think lace-up balls were obsolete before the war, but they may well have still been made and used in the amateur world after then. |

1937, apparently, before which the regulation weight was 13-15 oz. Since then the regulation weight has been 14-16 oz.
I've never seen any research suggesting that brain damage or dementia among footballers is restricted to the time of older, heavier balls, in the absence of which I'd assume that narrative to be unevidenced. Of course the balls weren't heavier, but if we accept they did become heavier in wet conditions they would then travel more slowly, be in the air less often and softer on impact. I'm not sure when water resistant balls became a thing but I certainly had one in the mid 70s so it must have been before then. |

Of course bookies are going to quote odds, it's what they do, and it's in their interest to widen the field as far as possible. |

I can't look at the scoreboard clock until the ball goes out of play. Easily rationalised by claiming it reduces obsessive clock watching when the game is tight (which is most of the time) but really it's more of a superstition. |

Dom Ball's in the Premier League. Dorse was right all along. It's terrifying now to think about what else he could be right about. |

Any and every one of our players would be off like a shot if they had the chance to go to a PL club, let's not kid ourselves. |

More than 100% of the uplift will go straight out of the door because that's what football does. Why would it be any different this time?
The clubs are analogous to gambling addicts. You can give them however much you like, guess where it's going to go. And they'll still beg, steal and borrow more. |
