    FAO - Matt Stevenson - urgent assignment!

    I'd expect a lot of City players have less distance covered, particularly games they pin teams in. That one at Dean Court where we didn't have a shot, we barely got out of our half while they just passed it about, I doubt they moved that much at all. Could be entirely wrong though.

    Non - The Middle East

    Not a politics post, but the weekend was pretty noisy here in the UAE. The house was rattled 3 or 4 times when missiles hit their targets, most were just booms where they were intercepted in the air. Other than that life has been pretty normal, I don't know many people that are worried, just...

    Wolves v AFC Bournemouth

    Adli needs to come off I feel, can see another yellow for a nothing foul

    Non - Can This Bloke Become President Of The United States?

    Half a side step to the right would have done it. He was intentionally in the way of the car, she was trying to drive away. Moving out of the way is the logical decision rather than standing your ground and firing bullets, especially when the outcome of that is the drivers foot is likely to go...

    Post-match thoughts v Brighton

    For the penalty, the only thing that made it clear and obvious was the booking. I think if he wasn't booked, it's not a clear and obvious error and VAR don't get involved. It's funny though, if that happens in the middle of the pitch you get a freekick regardless of whether the player is...

    Trouble at Spurs

    Did we leave them in the away dressing room or something? How else would he get an Arsenal cup at Bournemouth?

    Antoine Semenyo

    I think it's smart for a club like us. We have got at least 6 more months out of him from the renewal and a guaranteed £65m. He'd probably have forced a move in the summer if we didn't do it.

    Where do you think Google got the data to notify him?

    Google are probably alerting you the password for this site has been breached elsewhere if you've reused the password. Stick your email into haveibeenpwned.com to see where the actual breach might have been.

    AFC Bournemouth v West Ham

    Feels like a bit of a must win to get a bit of momentum back going into a very busy period. If we lose I can see heads dropping. Edit: Just realised today is exactly 10 years since the start of our unbeaten run in the first PL season until Arsenal after Christmas.

    Non: Retirement and pensions

    Compounding period is probably the difference, for stock markets it would be a daily compound. For the 13% I just took the total gain since 1996 which is where the google chart started and divided by 29 years. I do agree it's lots of if buts maybes, but there's got to be a better solution than...

    Non: Retirement and pensions

    Nope exactly, everything is just about getting re-elected in 5 years time with no consideration for making actual beneficial (very) long-term changes. In the UAE we have 2030, 2040, 2050 plans which in a democracy you just can't do. Not that I'm advocating for dictatorships before I get jumped...

    Non: Retirement and pensions

    If you gave new-borns £3000 into a locked pension until 67 invested in the various FTSE's, in 67 years time you wouldn't need a state pension and would only cost the state £3000 per person, total, whilst also injecting some cash into British companies. For reference, your pot at 67 with a 7%...

    The Golf Thread

    What a session of golf that was. So tense, you could tell everyone out there was absolutely grinding and didn't have much else to give. Both Rory and Scheffler lost strokes to the field. The best 2 players out there were Henley and Shane, both gaining nearly 4 strokes on the field.

    The Golf Thread

    How wonderful would that be, but I suspect Keegan is telling them don't let them take the record. It's pretty much the only incentive he can give them, there's no way we don't get 3 points out of the singles. I'm a little surprised that Luke didn't leave someone like Rory or Rahm out late to...

    The Golf Thread

    A few late nights coming up for me. Bit of luck for the American's having their weakest team against our strongest in the foursomes, but a guaranteed point I guess. Probably the same for them in the 2nd match. The wind is currently helping on the first but obviously could change over the next...

    Post-match thoughts v Newcastle

    I wasn't able to watch yesterday, but everything I've read suggests they came to not concede. Sounds like one of those games that in years gone by we'd have lost 0-1 or 0-2.

    Non - What to watch?

    I couldn't get into Mad Men, but agree about the others. Top 3 is probably Sopranos, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire. The Shield was a lot of fun and might make it in there, but the other 3 are substantially better in terms of filming and storylines etc. Of those 4 I've only rewatched Sopranos and...

    Breaking Bad started pretty slow in season 1 as well. Your experience with Better Call Saul is exactly what happened with me in season 1 of The Wire, but eventually it got it's hooks into me badly and is probably my favourite ever series I've watched. It's also not one I'd rewatch though, if...

    Mobland very good with a great cast. I've watched 4/10 episodes. Slow Horses new season begins next week.
