When this news dropped I got a little excited and went to Youtube to find someone who had a clue to maybe give me a rundown. Typing in "apt" was a mistake as all I got was that overplayed "meet me at the..." fucking song.

Aye I've never noticed it or even thought about it before, so thank you. I was just sat here and the thought crossed my mind so cheers for clearing that up, but has it ever been contested? I can just imagine some whinger like arteta arguing that they lost as they werent allowed to let their best corner taker take it from their preferred side.

It's pretty obvious that, for example, a keeper dives to the left and tips a shot around the post then the corner is taken from that side. But if it's fairly central and he tips it over the bar then how is it decided which side do the attacking side take the corner from? Can they just pick which side themselves?

I thought only old folk lived in Brighton. Like Florida in the states during the Golden Girls era before it became synonymous with "Florida Man..." headlines.

From the BBC website... 'Hope and excitement' - Nevin on Magpies' seasonpublished at 11:06 11:06 Pat Nevin Former footballer and presenter 04:19 Media caption, Newcastle United's was the most impressive performance from a Premier League side in the FA Cup at the weekend. Birmingham City had a great start at St Andrews, are currently flying at the top of League One and had home advantage in front of an extremely partisan crowd. With a little help from the officials, Eddie Howe's men still got through after fielding an almost totally second-string side. The difference is that Howe's second choices are not far off the standard of his preferred starting XI. Manchester City, in comparison, huffed and puffed against Leyton Orient before squeezing through, but once again their strength in depth looked questionable. Newcastle survived the transfer window without losing anyone, leaving them in a great position to attack their goal of finishing in the top four and make an assault on both domestic cup competitions. Their obliteration of Arsenal last week (showing that the Gunners' back-up squad is also threadbare at best) was emphatic and set up a mouthwatering League Cup final against Liverpool. It is decades since the ever-present hope and excitement at St James' Park has seemed so well founded. Is this true? Did I just dream Miggy and Lloyd Kelly leaving then?

I've had to cancel a course I was due to attend. It would have been fun, but no way am I travelling out of the region and throwing myself about all day in a place with no telly when we have a chance of silverware. Probably still just watch it in the house like, or my local.

"You, Isak and Josh" at around 45 seconds...

The PSR thing does seem to be something that the club uses quite a lot and the noises from the PL do seem to indicate it is a massive issue. I reckon the club are playing the long con here; make sure that every journo knows that the reason for no investment is the rules that cripple anyone who tries to challenge the establishment in the hope of crumbling the stupid rules.

I think I needed that. Thanks

Shit weekend result, shit transfer window, shit week, shit day.

They're insults for sure but I'm not sure how using either term is homophobic or misogynistic. My understanding is "karen" is about someone who is irritating and always going on about wanting the manager and going to email head office, whereas "gammon" is a term for thick racists who are easily led by laxley-lennon and farage.

Outstanding! Not to derail a thread about Matt Targett (who is a player I like), but does anyone know who was in charge of football reporting at the chronicle when Mark Douglas was there as well? Both had vaguely senior sounding titles so I couldn't work out who was whose boss. Not important in the scheme of things, I was just always curious.

Hot air balloon, like Willie Fog.

Maybe he's going to Leeds...Building Society.

The thing with ryder is he's always usually right about unpalatable news. I remember he was thoroughly enjoying telling folk that we were definitely getting steve mclaren. It's weird how he gets any info though because he is always the one journo at the press conference who Eddie has to ask to explain his question as it made no sense.
