    I don't think it was fine margins personally, SM were much the better side and deserved the victory. No 10 for SM was far too good for that level! a few of his team mates weren't far behind. Hx gave it a go 2h but ultimately the better team won the game.

    Why did we need HS1?

    Read up about him then, horrible vindictive man.

    The 1st of his 3 goals was a cracker, as was B04's 2nd goal.

    What I find quite strange is that if they think the drainage is blocked, why they haven't camera surveyed the drainage from the main connection and to try to find the issue to see if it can be cleared without resorting to digging up the pitch. Of course the pitch being natural turf rather than...

    B.I.B There was never any danger of that not happening was there? It's just the consequence of what you can play football on and what you can play rugby on. FC might just be able to survive in The Shay on their own, but DB will need to stop running it like a part time plaything. I don't...

    I found this news very concerning when it broke. I mean what is the world coming to. Whilst i can accept that the time of black boots, mitre multiplex, minerva supreme and the sports argus has gone this was a link back to those days. It seems nothing stands in the way of progress, or profit!

    Cross Country overcrowding - shortage of rolling stock

    I would imagine that that is primarily a case of preaching to the converted.

    A big boost for Man City ahead of the UCL QF as Thibaut Courtois suffers another knee injury, to the right knee this time. But it's still season over for him just as he was approaching a return to the starting 11.

    Cross Country overcrowding - shortage of rolling stock

    The problem is that people want investment in, in no particular order, public transport, public services, the arts, education, health, defence all whilst wanting their tax burden to come down. As you pointed out......

    Kane to deliver the knockout blow to Arsenal? It's written in the star's isn't it?

    Not with Man City, they haven't qualified for the QF, yet! I thought BM played well in general, Lazio were in the game for 20/25 but then BM started to get hold of things and as so often happens the 1st goal changed the game and BM had the bonus of another 1 right on HT. Not sure which game...

    German Rail in decline ?

    In praise of DB I travelled Dusseldorf to Hannover, ICE, no problem whatsoever. Excellent service, on time quality of train was very good. On the way back it was again very good until we left Bochum and someone decided to trespass on the tracks. One thing that did surprise me was that the...
