    What are British values?

    When I hear things like "British values" I don't take it as meaning a list of definable virtues. I see it as our shared understanding of the world and the way we communicate with each other without explicitly saying something. Anyone that has spent time with people that speak the same language...

    What sports were you good at?

    I can pick anything up and have a go and be ok at it but I never excelled at anything. I was quite good at cross country as a kid but I hated it. That was probably the only thing I was one of the best at but it was miserable. I have never really run as an adult. I was always good at footy and...

    Lewis O'Brien wants to stay

    He's good but if we keep Hackney then I don't think he starts so really depends how much we are willing to spend for our 2nd string. I see it as him or Hackney for one position and Howson and Barlaser for the other (when so are fit). Ideally we'd replace Barlaser with a better player, a...

    Next seasons realistic aim

    No. We had a fully fit squad at the start of the season and we were awful. Without the injuries we could've scraped into the playoffs but I'm not even convinced that is the case because the difference between our 1st and 2nd string isn't massive. We've lost a few points from injuries but not 20...

    Next seasons realistic aim

    We are going to be 10 points worse than we were last season and last season included a dreadful start and a change of manager. We were an automatic promotion quality team for 2/3rds of the season, probably looking at 85ish points at least over a full season. We're not even close to that now...

    Next seasons realistic aim

    The season ticket renewal prices being the most expensive in the league means that anything other than challenging for the automatics is taking the ****. Last season we had the same and were let down very badly by the recruitment team. If they don't improve this year and we have another bunch of...

    F*CK VAR

    It wasn't just offside. It was so offside that it is absolutely ridiculous. The other incidents that were more marginal, like Bamford's goal, might have been chalked off with technology. I'm never going to agree that horrifically poor officiating is better than the alternative. I think people...

    Bamford Celebration

    I have no problem whatsoever with former players celebrating when scoring against us. I would be less happy if it was a really key goal that got us relegated or stopped promotion when it was a nothing game for them but in 99% of situations it's fine. I would expect a player to be trying their...

    Boxing training for kids in Middlesbrough

    Yes. Choose a hobby that doesn't involve being punched in the face.

    F*CK VAR

    Winning the ball isn't enough anymore. It's about being in control. It was probably a foul and a booking but not a red. VAR would have done nothing, it doesn't give out bookings.

    How do you make a cv?

    That must be for the full version but not the web version. https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-download-and-use-microsoft-word-for-free

    How do you make a cv?

    Pretty sure the web version of Word is free these days.

    Coventry v Man Utd

    This isn't true though. If Zenden's penalty had been disallowed because he touched it twice we might have still won the trophy. If Ehiogu's "handball" had been given as a penalty it might have been saved. However, if Festa's goal in the FA Cup final had stood we might have won a trophy many...

    VAR - For or Against

    I'm not discounting anyone's opinions. I am saying that the majority of people that don't want VAR are the same as the majority of people that wanted the referees to have help when they didn't have VAR and if you got rid of VAR the majority would want something to improve and so on. I think...
