I'll be disappointed if Vyner and Dasilva start, both been very poor recently.

One of the best single nights darts performances I've ever seen from Price, still can't stand the bloke.

Wade very unlucky as well.

MVG fear factor most definitely gone now.

Clickbait on OTIB what is the world coming to...

In fairness we are just as bad without him.

Not always, if he had stayed on for the remainder of the Reading game we would definitely have conceded. Looked like he was a pitch invader.

Based on what? It's getting harder and harder for the base material to be drilled at a price that makes commercial sense. They may not become extinct but they will become an anachronism like gas lamps or steam engines. 

Oh yes they will certainly not be the most affordable method of propulsion but they will always be around and able to be used albeit at a higher cost.

They will follow the same pattern that horses did. They were once used as transportation, now used primarily for entertainment, leisure and hobbies.

My worry would be how long combustion engines will remain viable.

Combustion engines will never go extinct. 

The time frame thrown around for them to even be in the minority is vastly overstated or 'sped up' if you will.

Definitely both worthy of a yellow card no doubt about that but the second should never have occurred.

The play should have been halted when the throw in was impeded and Martinelli booked (or sent off?) and a free kick taken from there.

FA:

'An opponent who unfairly distracts or impedes the thrower (including moving closer than 2 m (2 yds) to the place where the throw-in is to be taken) is cautioned for unsporting behaviour, and if the throw-in has been taken, an indirect free kick is awarded'

Certainly wasn't the case at Blackpool on Saturday.

One of the most infuriating things for me so far this season has been our corners.

We very rarely seem to put the ball in the box direct from the corner, most of the time it goes short, switches from one side to the other and is then lumped into the box at a much worse angle. On occasion this season it has also gone straight back to the corner taker who is then offside! 

I know we are not the biggest, most physical team currently even with the addition of Klose but just put the bloody ball in the box every now and then, defenders may put it in their own net or the keeper might spill it.

When most teams get a corner there is excitement at the chance of an attempt on goal, when City get one it's a disappointment as you know within 5 seconds the ball will either be back with our keeper or the opposition.

Apologies should have said, leaving from Wiltshire at approx 4pm so I will be amazed if we do it in anywhere near 3.5 hours!

Anyone done Blackpool away before and driven up on the Friday night?

How long does it normally take? I'm anticipating 5 hours minimum.

After his release from the hospital, Elliott drinks a bottle of vodka and swallows a handful of pills, while Helen speaks to her coworker, who tells her that while she can't forgive Elliott for what he did in his previous life, everyone deserves a second chance. Just as Elliott has resigned himself to death, he receives a text from Helen, an emoji of a burrito that represents a private joke between them, and he smiles.

That just makes me wonder even more!

Thought the first 2 episodes were painfully slow, but it got a lot better once the action started.

Ending a bit odd, did he actually OD and die or did the text make him rethink?

Anyone got a recommendation for a family car? I am undecided between a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and a Taycan Cross Turismo. 

Both been well received by journo's and customers, the Ioniq slightly more so I would say.

But with the Ioniq starting at 37k and the Taycan at 88k not really a fair comparison to make.

Very different cars for very different requirements.

I'll take these if NTTDS has no need for them.

Surely the blame lies with our own selfish ********* who think they can stand anywhere without a thought for their fellow fans. I.feel.for you mate it's one of the reasons I select my away games very carefully

Crowds/stands at away games have historically a lot of the time been unreserved. 

You can’t have gone to many away games if you think people standing where they want is a new thing. 

If this stays like this and with Blackpool already out does this mean our game up there will go ahead as scheduled?

Answered my own question.

He’s in League Two, for FGR v Exeter.

So, demotion? Or was this a case of a higher league ref being shipped in for a local derby?

They’ve got Stevenage today?  Is that game later in the week?

Maybe he hasn’t got a game for NYD fixtures then

I actually don't think he should be frozen out entirely. He's got that bit about him and some games our creativity is close to nil. I know he's frustrating on his day but you'd be hard pressed to find many in our team that aren't.

Don't disagree with you at all.

My comment was more based on what Nige seems to think and I'm fairly confident he wants Palmer no where near the team and is definitely one of the players he wants to move on.

IN; Semenyo, Janneh, Palmer.... Out/SUBS; Wells, Massengo, Martin; not much chance thoughmore likely start the other way around. We need livening up a bit up can hardly be any worse

You're going to be disappointed if you expect Palmer to play in a city shirt again.

Worrying but predictable that hardly any on here mentioning the positives that Simpson is bringing to the squad. Very obvious that he was always going to be more of a 'mentor' to the younger players rather than a squad player playing 90 minutes every week.

Numerous times this season at the final whistle he has been straight onto the pitch to one of the youngsters, arm round their shoulders with a word in their ear as they walk off. This can only be a good thing and one that Nige would have had in mind when he brought him in.

What a pleasure it was to watch the Darts without Mardle. Itv4 coverage is so much better than SKY

Yeah thought the ITV production was decent.  No hype, bullshit and prats who think they know it all but only once made it to a world semi final. 

Not really too fussed on the commentators but overall the ITV coverage of the actual games was embarrassing.

The cameras missed more shots than they captured. So slow to switch back from the players face to the board that most of the time you missed the shot going in/missing, demonstrated by the crowd being silent for a few seconds after big moments as they didn't know either!

The cameras were blatantly being controlled by people who had no knowledge of darts as well as numerous times the camera didn't follow the 3 dart route that was being taken by the player and again missed the winning dart going in. 

Out for Sunday. 

Poor bloke is cursed. 

We walk through the gate at the Raynes Road entrance and there was no security measures there at all.

You can near enough see that entrance from the main KFC one so a completely pointless exercise as anyone who wanted entry without being checked could have just seen that, walked round the block and gone in that way.
