My experiences couldn't be more different to that rule. Bordeaux, Lyon, Caen, La Rochelle, Nice, Tours are all splendid cities. I worked in Paris for six months, I enjoyed it but people have less time for strangers. In my experience the rest of France people are friendly and welcoming and there are...

Was it? Struck me (and caveat, I've only seen it once) that Fabianski had a perfectly good view of the ball as the lad in front of him was stooping allowing Lukasz to enjoy direct line of sight. It wasn't Alex Song vs Arsenal, that's for sure. If you watch the view from behind he is definitely in l...

Stood in the six yard box, in the goalie's sightline, having been stood tight against him to prevent the goalie coming off the line for the corner so a pretty clear offside - despite the fact that keeper wasn't getting to ball from the header. I agree that we'd be annoyed if it was our goal being ca...

If we had proper businessmen in charge we'd have much larger income from advertising, merch sales. This is the nub of the matter for me and why I have real issues with Brady, we are a moderately successful team in London - very close the financial centre of the Country - as a club we should be able...

What they appear to be condoning is a player gaining an 'unfair advantage' through their deliberate action. Oddly, this is defined as an infringement and the disadvantaged team awarded a free kick by every other 'Law' of the game. It also comes under 'unsporting behaviour' or 'ungentlemanly conduct...

I'm in a box with a load of Geordies so will doing my best to be upright.

Women of all ages turning to prostitution to earn money or being exploited into doing so is a tale as old as time. We’re all a bit naive when we tell ourselves that it no longer happens, or that we are superior to people in other parts of the world where it is more obvious. A good friend of mine tu...

Any advice on these? I see there are plenty of option on Amazon...... I was going to use my work SIM (Vodaphone) but would like backup. I've not really looked yet, and was kinda fishing for advice myself. :winker: I need to sort in the next couple of weeks to be sure we have them before we go.

I really fancy a roadtrip but this year we're doing something more like a multi-centre holiday in Florida, Marathon Key for 5 nights, a week in Venice, a week near St Petersburg and a week in Orlando. Accommodation pretty much all booked, car booked, its just all the other details like SIMs to sort ...

The best thing these men can do is get off dating apps. They are full of bots, women peddling their OnlyFans and psychotic women mentioned above who seem to believe they are entitled to the 3 sixes despite bringing nothing to the relationship and are 10 years away from becoming the local pump and d...

I've certainly used club cash to buy home cup tickets. My only real issue is the small amount you get for selling your ticket back and the expiry date on club cash.

Thanks Gary, just downloaded to enjoy all over again.

We're touring Europe for most of April in our motorhome, the plan was to stay in France unless the weather was awful in which case we might head to Spain. Now buttering up my wife that I might have schedule a stop so I can attend the away Quarter final. Wish me luck

Been going on for decades (make that centuries), daughter earns enough money from a rich man to keep her entire family. When I worked in Saudi in the 80's I knew several middle aged blokes who had a Thai girl, some merely owned her for the duration of their holiday but one paid all year round to be ...

I thought that he looked off the pace and the game mostly passed him by, so not dreadful but wasn't really contributing either in attack or defence.

The replays I've seen it clearly hits both arms before his head

If that isn't handball at the end what the **** is handball these days?

Some do, but not always easy. The bungalows near my mum cost nearly as much as her house is worth.

(“1 in 4 pensioners is a millionaire if their property is taken in to account”). I don’t know anyone who will sell their house to buy a ST. It doesn’t matter how much a property is worth as people still need somewhere to live. It is totally irrelevant as to how much disposable income they have comi...

Ultimately, the easiest way to get over handball shouts that go against you is to question whether it really prevented us doing anything. There are handballs that block a cross, on the goalline, passes heading towards goal that do genuinely interfere with a goal attempt (i.e. the Lindelof non-award...
