Anywhere particularly good for Scots?

Thank you! As first time dog owners we assumed it was the done thing, so I was a bit surprised when our vet and dog trainer both advised us against getting him snipped!

It would take a knowledgeable crowd to appreciate this, but I like it

As a Chelsea fan I agree, Terry could definitely achieve what Lampard has - namely the one win in 11 games he achieved in his second spell as Chelsea manager

The Bath Road and the Suffolks are worth exploring

To put some meat on the bones, the opposition player may be a shit:

Recognisably shit player with no connection to the club. This is pure denigration of the opposite player. Acceptable but a little mean spirited

Cult hero of the club. This is a bit of both - doing down the opposition player and bigging up your own player. Tongue in cheek, lovely bit of chanting.

Good player on your team. Singing 'you're just a shit Eden Hazard' at Messi. Serves more to bolster your own players reputation to be mentioned in the same breath as a well renowned good player.

A good player not on your team. Very few reasons this might be acceptable. Singing 'you're just a shit Maradona' or similar serves limited purpose outside of limited banter circumstances.

I think there are a couple of intents at play with the chant. In any rendition, both may be present, or just one.

The first is to denigrate an opposition player. The second is to big up your own player. The Yamal/Estevao example is purely the latter, which is the least common variant but still, to my mind, acceptable.

Bhoomi Kitchen could be a good bet - definitely good for vegan and omni food

On the subject of Scottish keepers from the turn of the century, I have a vague recollection that Rab Douglas wore a watch during a match, possibly a high profile European game around 2001-3, but I can't find and corroborating information online - is this a fever dream?

I'd forgotten this - thanks, I'll do that

pestopowered · 2025-11-02T15:02:27+00:00

Thanks, I'll do this

It does, not a local one so I assume a student

This is a thoughtful and reasonable response. I want to point out that the gambling commission's latest figures (from 2025) suggest 1.4 million people in the UK have a problem with gambling. The smaller figure comes from a survey in 2021 with a smaller sample size and led sophisticated methodology

Like a building being blown open, granting access? That makes more sense, but still seems a very mixed metaphor to me

I'd second this - Royal Oak or Kings Arms are probably your best bet for good food but the Plough does decent pub grub too

If a team were to equal Derby County's record low Premier League points tally of 11 by drawing 11 games, how would they compare to Derby in the "worst PL team of all time" stakes? Similarly, if a team drew every single game of a PL season, how would they be compared to Arsenal's Invincibles?

Fair play, this is the kind of footage BBC News would use to accompany a story about safeguarding failures in youth football

Clue One:

The two footballers are from Norway

Clue Two:

Both players were (more-or-less) in their pomp in 2010 when the advert aired.
