Just last night my wife was watching the Beckham documentary and there was a bit about Bobby Charlton and I was telling her what a great of the game he was.

Re: TV Fixtures
Is the Wolves one confirmed? Looking to book flights but a Sunday 4:30pm or Monday night match isn't doable

Re: Petro boarding
I did it once totally by accident 3 or 4 years ago here in Switzerland. I'd filled up and then chose a few groceries in the supermarket bit of the shop and must have absent-mindedly paid for those only. I was on a beach in Greece a couple of weeks later and had a very nice and polite call from the S...

Re: TV Fixtures
Wish they'd get a move on, waiting to book flights for the mid-December Europa/PL double-header but no good if moved to a Monday or late afternoon Sunday kick-off time

Re: Walk from Stratford International to Stadium
I’ve never been to any other events at the stadium other than to watch West Ham play. Out of interest to anyone who has been to see a concert or another sporting event there, do they still use the stop/go signs? Or is it just West Ham matches? I went to the baseball in the summer and stop/go was in...

Re: Smart Home
Out of interest do you have Phillips HUE switches? Do they need a battery? Our house is largely all Hue lights now, mostly controlled by conventional light switches but with Alexa's dotted around for any verbal customisation on brightness, colour, on/off-ness etc. The one exception is in the living...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
A bloke stumbled at the top of 241 staircase yesterday and dislocated his knee. Couldn't get up, fans tried to help hm, no stewards anywhere. There was one two blocks away but we couldn't get his attention, eventually someone went and found someone who managed to radio for St John's Ambulance to as...

Re: EAFC 24
I've had a couple of games from the EA Play 10 hour free trial. A bit disappointed that they seem to have done away with the bubbles floating in the air at the start of the match at the LS. Otherwise seems OK, a few changes to presentation but I haven't really dabbled too much to see many gameplay d...

Re: Crossbows & Catapults
On a similar note I was really tempted to buy a modern version Electronic Battleships the other day - a game I always wanted as a kid but never got, although a mate who seemed to get anything he wanted had it.

Re: The Physical Health Thread

On the morning of the match I was walking w...

Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24
Thinking of our away fans, I just hope we miss the clubs who have shitloads of idiots following them. Wouldn't want Marseille for that reason. I was thinking how much I'd love a match in my wife's home city of Athens as there are three teams in the draw from Athens/Piraeus, but on the same note the...

Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24
anyone know how they decide the order of the 6 games (and so which one is the first away) and when it is announced. Don't know for sure this time, but I think in the past they have drawn a second ball to show where each team is in the group and so fits into the predetermined Week X: A vs B, C vs D,...

Re: 2023 Cycling - Tour De France
I try and get to a stage each year when they're reasonably nearby, this year being no exception. For the first time this year I got to the start of a stage when it was just south of Geneva in a place called Annemasse. I didn't really fully appreciate the whole circus that goes on each day - a huge u...

Re: Border controls in Europe
There are border posts in Switzerland but they aren't always manned unless its one of the big ones on the autoroutes, and generally you're only stopped to check that you have bought a motorway vignette (40 chf) if you're going to be using the motorways, or very occasionally to check to see if you're...

Re: Club cash.
I think if you really push them on that we'd be more likely to lose Ticket Trader altogether - they want the money to stay in the Club. Yes that's my fear too - I live abroad so being able to sell back a portion of my ST for games I can't go to makes a big difference between me keeping a season tic...
