    The cost of a holiday ….

    I have a couple of colleagues who like to travel (I like to live vicariously through their child free jaunts) and the only places they've mentioned being good value/cheap in comparison in the last couple of years have been Bulgaria and Morocco.

    Hotel recommendations for London

    There's a Premier Inn just south of Tower Bridge which isn't too badly priced, within walking distance of London Bridge station, but if you drive then don't bother; the council made the access road one way a couple of years ago so you have to drive right around the hotel to get into the car...

    BMW recalls 1.5m vehicles world wide

    At least you could get your chauffeur to get it over to the dealership.

    Mobile Networks at the Riverside

    One day I will guess the password for the router next to the away team bench. If you're nice to me I may even share it with others if the action on the pitch isn't up to scratch.

    Starbucks Going Cashless..

    Plenty of coffee shops to visit if people don't like it. While I don't rate Starbucks as the best tasting place for drinks, I do like that they have relatively low caffeine values. If I have a coffee from Costa, I find that I become increasingly sure that I'm being followed by Jason Bourne, as...

    How are animals still alive from the dinosaur period?

    I've just searched Google and fewer than 100 T rex skeletons have been found, with around 30 of them almost complete. Time to get my shovel out and start fossil hunting.

    Just waiting for Everton to swing the axe on Dyche and then Old Trafford can finally appoint the manager their fans deserve.

    Anyone doing the Great North Run Sunday?

    I've done it a few times and would just say don't run with headphones. The chance to run so far with so much support and strangers shouting for you is such a fun experience. A colleague is doing it and told me a couple of days ago that the toilets are being split this year at the start by...

    Man Utd

    Casemiro's brain holiday for the first goal was similar to some of the gilt-edged chances we were dishing up a couple of weeks ago. Bravo.

    Shouting Commentator on MOTD

    That's because they can only show a set amount of actual footage. They don't do punditry instead of more replays. In an ideal world I think I'd like to watch a programme which is all highlights, no discussion and if I were I interested in their thoughts I'd listen to it podcast style, which I...

    What a difference a win makes

    Two big things today: we've avoided a bad run lingering over the break after labouring against newly promoted teams and the Stoke spanking; we didn't concede a goal served up on a platter to the opposition. Must've felt great for those who had made the journey for a lunchtime kick-off.

    Game Changer - Sadly CTE Head Trauma Diagnosed in Amateur Footballer

    I was listening to Shearer and Lineker mention this on a podcast yesterday. They suggested if you cut it out of training, it would disappear from games. It might not need to be banned, just agreed that it doesn't get practised.

    Why don’t we do this to Twitter

    It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if security services around the world use Twitter as a vacuum cleaner for all sorts of info on foreign bot activity in addition to sucking up the dirt from their own shores. To keep it legal is to maintain a steady information stream.

    Newcastle Utd / Transfer Window

    The stadium revenues are the difference between clubs who can have a £60m+ player on the bench and rotate for half an hour at the end of big games and those who would have him as a talismanic, guaranteed starter because that's the whole budget gone.

    Newcastle Utd / Transfer Window

    While not competing for honours, they're 100% secure in that league and probably well into the process of learning how they can work within the letter of the laws if not the spirit, like our squeaky clean treble winners. Their squad needed a lot of investment just to become a steady top half...

    Birmingham city paying £10m for jay stansfield

    Wow. That means that this Birmingham transfer (If we go with £15m) is the league one equivalent of a Premier League team making a signing for over £500m.

    Nice to see that whoever negotiated the fees on Fletcher and Saville has found a new job in football. 😀
