Does a one-team dominance detract from the Premier League product? It seems a breath of fresh air that Bayern Munich did not win the Bundesliga this year. City will do the double-double this year. Seems Pepsi might not rush to sign a new contract. Would you like him to replace Southgate? Would he ta...

We have been underestimated before and we will be so again.

Score draw.

I liked watching Ling Jnr. Unfairly maligned, Honest footballer, could put in some great crosses. A real work-horse. Good on him. This is the most unhinged and revisionist take on an ex-O that has ever been posted on this forum. Speaking of unhinged…is your response not a trifle OTT? I think he was...

My mate, a priest, saw a terrible accident yesterday…looked like a pig had been knocked over and killed.

He phoned the police. A cocky desk sergeant answered :”You’re a priest eh. I suppose you gave him the last rites an’ all?”

“No, I did not. I thought it was best to inform his next of kin, first!”

Had she just run a marathon?

His playing style reminds me of John Lundstram - similar on-field position, too. Now he has had a fairly stellar career.

I think VAR has added an extra dimension and layer of dramatic tension to the game. Events can happen so quickly - I have recently looked at a Cheating in Football video on Youtube. In real time the goals, penalty appeals, feigned injuries etc look genuine - but looking at the action slowly, one can...

Guessing that you weren't doing it for a career, just as a bit of fun?

May be "fun" to you....

What a great film, Spielberg’s first foray into movies? It is like a Western transported to the ocean. Good on Capitalism vs Humanity. RIP Susan.

Timeless classic.

Okay, yawn. I hope he doesn’t drop it.

Permitted on the last day of the season?

I think this a sound decision.

One of those players who is reduced to pay by game. Sad, really.

It's not that easy to write about idiosyncratic, trivial topics. Some light relief has its place in a weighty publication. Inoffensive enough.

Style and substance - could work as a team. Hope not.
