    Festival of Thrift.

    I attended a small business meeting/appointment with Tees Valley Business a few months back and they mentioned Festival of Thrift is moving to Billingham.

    VAR

    It'll be the beginning of the end for the officials who were operating it for the Brighton, Chelsea and Newcastle games maybe but not for the technology which is absolutely fine; it just seems to be a real task to find anyone competent enough to use it with a real understanding of the game. One...

    Post your little known musical factoids

    This one comes under the 'allegedly' category! In the mid sixties The Bobby Fuller Four were recording what would become their future hit 'I Fought the Law'. However, the recording was a little problematic with the band not happy with the drum sound. While the band took a break from the session...

    Post your little known musical factoids

    The 14 year old son of M*A*S*H director Robert Altman wrote the lyrics for the film's theme song 'Suicide is Painless (M.A.S.H Theme)' 😲

    Fry

    'Like for like' is the problem! The main reason Fry is struggling to get into the side is his uncanny habit of launching speculative 60 yard balls upfield and visibly frustrating Wilder in the process. The Wilder approach needs his centre halves to be comfortable on the ball and bring it out...

    Larsen starts for Groningen

    This is a deal that would have to happen sooner rather than later! Man Utd have just had a bid of £7.2m turned down by Bologna for Marko Arnautović! Apparently our bids for Strand Larsen were higher than Bologna's but if the Arnautović deal goes through (and it will if Arnautović has anything to...

    Parking the Bus…

    Really? I doubt that. To pinch that goal they'd have to be more offensive, leaving themselves open to opposition attacks in turn. OK, they could maybe score from a set piece but that would still have come about from being more offensive. The longer the game goes on at 0-0 with a team being...

    Parking the Bus…

    I'm sure Tony Pulis would agree with you but how is that mindset going to change anything? I appreciate the importance of defending but it's a very dour art, hardly edge of the seat stuff. But, if people are thrilled or fulfilled by watching old videos of Bould, Adams, Dixon and Winterburn etc...

    Parking the Bus…

    Had a theory about this for a while, this is the solution! Doesn't involve any expensive technology, is completely free, would make for more attacking play and would, overnight, eradicate parking the bus and dinosaur managers like Allardyce and Pulis etc. It's a win win! The solution: simple...
