According to some in the media that defensive record would have been 100% down to Harry Maguire..... even the Wolves clean sheet would have been as a result of his influence in pre-season or something.

Ditto. Never had one either!

This is one of the most sensible things I've read on here in ages! Spot on quote to be honest. There has been a lot of drivel posted on here and on social media about things like pink caps over the last week and frankly a lot of it is pathetic. The safe standing supporters want people to respect how they wish to watch the game which is fair enough and are pushing for standing to be a thing at the KP stadium and across the country. On the other hand, there is a portion of fans who go to every game who will appreciate things like the freebies and the pink caps that are being given out and will choose to sit and just enjoy the game without singing. Everyone likes to watch the game in their own way and the ridicule that this has created about it being embarrassing is a load of crap. To tweak the above quote, "safe standing is like a pink cap, you don't want to wear a pink cap, you don't have to. You don't want to stand in a safe standing spot? You don't have to". Neither is wrong and neither makes you less of a Leicester City supporter! Do I want safe standing? Couldn't care less about it! I go to games with my dad who is retired and wouldn't stand for 90 minutes and I will soon take my kids who I would rather were sitting so they can see the games. Did I vote against safe standing? No - because some fans want it and it's not forcing me personally to change how I watch and enjoy the game. Do I want a pink hat? No not really. Do I care that the person next to me will wear one? No - because some fans want it and it's not forcing me to personally to change how I watch and enjoy the game. The main thing that is wrong at our club at the moment is the lack of respect between our own fans.

The most ridiculous thing about this for me is that we got more for him than we did for Mahrez!!

Packers @ Seahawks in 2012 - the fail mary with the final play to lose the game. I was fuming to lose the game with such a crap call at the end of it having played so well. Likewise Packers @ Seahawks in the play offs in 2015. We were on a great season and seemed certain to win the Superbowl. Championship game, comfortably in front against a Seahawks team who were near unbeatable at home it seemed.... 19-7 up with three minutes to go and after some awful play calling and a disasterous attempt at recovering an onside kick, we ended up being 22-19 down with seconds remaining. Got it back to 22-22 to take it to overtime but heads had gone and Seahawks finished it off something like 4 plays later. Never like Seattle after that those two games. Other mentions: England v Germany in Euro 96. Still wince when Gazza slides in and just can't stretch enough to knock into the empty net.

You're not alone - took me about 20 attempts to beat it!! Can you change character in adventure mode as couldn't find a way of doing it so had to stick with Crash throughout Shortcut?!?!?

Yeah I'm on the hoods but still taking getting used to. Enjoying it much more than my old hybrid though. Done a couple of 25 mile rides and felt good after them whereas it was a slog if I did that before. The main difference is the hills though, the difference in weight of the bike means it's so much easier getting you some of the smaller ones. Don't get me wrong, it still kills me but my slow death is now 25% or so quicker

Someone has already noted on twitter that there are a potential 406 Trevor Benjamin derbies if you factor in all teams he has played for.

Probably younger!

What Game Are You Playing At The Moment ?

Beat Saber on PSVR..... horribly addictive and nothing more frustrating then slicing your way through a track on expert difficulty only to come unstuck on the outro and fail the song! -
Final Fantasy 7 remake announced (First on PS4)

I was never really a huge fan of the FF series but I remember being addicted to the card game in FF8! -
Picked up my first road bike on the cycle to work scheme last month and loving the difference between that and my hybrid. Spent some time looking for a bike I wanted and then managed to get it price matched from a lower site to the point where a £1k bike has only reduced my net pay by £35 per month for the year. Well worth looking in to if your company does it!! My commute takes about 15 minutes in the car door to door and only about 7 minutes longer to do it on a bike. Average speed is generally around 16.5mph so not great but did hit 17.4mph on my commute home yesterday. Main difference to the hybrid is that you can't afford to lose concentration for a second as when you're hitting speeds in the low 20s, you really do feel like you're flying along and the slightest knock or bump could leave you on the deck. Struggling to get used to the location of the brakes as well so never trust myself to go flat out down a steep hill!

I would love it if they remade Ocarina Of Time - was one of the epic games of my youth (along with Super Mario 64) and would love to replay it again with modern graphics as I'm sure the gameplay would still stand up.

I have a lovely community noticeboard outside my house for when I get to level 40 and they allow the general public to apply for stops!
-
I think there is something about hospitals not being stops and gyms as not really somewhere you want groups of people to gather and potentially get in the way.

I thought the only saving grace of that episode was Alex Horne. Iain and Lou have potential but think after the highs of last season, it's not going to be a great one.

I know the feeling. Played the best golf I'd ever played last week and so dashed over to the course once the kids were in bed last night for a quick blast around the nine hole par 3 course. First two holes, tee shots onto the green or close to it - relatively happy! Onto the third which is only a very short 85 yarder or so with a stream running across the front of the green. Generally it's a hole where I've hit some of my better shots historically and so confidence was high...... No one around so had plenty of time to take a few shots and practice some iron play..... 1st tee shot - pulled left, hit a tree and dropped into the water. 2nd attempt - pulled further left, hit a different tree and dropped into the water. 3rd attempt - topped it and it scuttled along the ground...... and into the water 4th attempt - pulled left, went over the tree and into a bunker 5th attempt - caught it thick and no real height - went like a bullet straight over the green. Confidence zapped in five minutes of madness and never recovered for the rest of the round. Stupid game!! That par three course costs me a fortune in balls!

Cheers for the advice. I had one lesson with the pro (a father's Day gift) and he was generally positive about my swing and just said the backswing needed some work. Grip and follow through spot on but was too rigid on the back swing and locking my left knee up. Tried to take what he said on board but hard to iron out errors that have become natural. Managed to sneak 7 holes in on the way home and played some of my best golf ever. My first birdie on a par 4 followed up with what would have been a par on a par 3 had I bothered taking the flag out. A putt hit the flag and pushed it back out when at that pace it would have dropped if it wasn't in. Valuable lesson there!!! I need to spend a lot of time on my short game. Little chips from around the edge of the green is a major weak spot and often I'm leaving myself with 10-15 foot putts. Just never seem to commit to them and leave way short. Problem is that it's more fun to be out on the course rather than the practice green!!

I started to play at the back end of last summer and have picked it up more now that the weather is warming up. Joined my local club and enjoying getting out and just playing a few holes or the par 3 as I don't have masses of free time what with work and a young family at home. Set myself two targets for this year: 1 - Shoot a round in 95 or under. (I've played 5 full rounds in my life so seems like an achievable target) 2 - Hit a birdie - already managed that on my second round of the year. I should have met the first target or come close already but lost my head on a round last week and had to walk away from a hole after losing three balls into water. Poor club selection meant that my second shot on a par 5 went further than expected and landed plumb in the hazard. Decided to have another go with an lower iron as realised I would be able to clear it...... under hit it and same result. Sulked my way down to confirm they were in the water and took a drop shot and then was so pissed off with myself that I topped the ball, it hit the bank and fell in again. Had been about +8 through the first 8 holes and that smashed my confidence and didn't play well on the back nine. My biggest problem is that I just cannot seem to hit two consecutive good shots. If I do a straight 250 yard drive, I'll follow up with a duff of an Iron shot that misses the green. Summed up perfectly on my last round when I scuffed a drive along the ground and it nestled behind a tree, had to just chip out sideways to the fairway and then hit a 200 yard iron shot to within 3 feet of the hole. It's such a ridiculous sport how you can go from a shot that the pros would be happy with to a shot that makes you think you should hand your membership card back and leave the club immediately.

I'm a manager at an accountancy firm. Not the most exciting at times but has its moments and they're a great bunch to work for!

I think the key to a good series is how the contestants interact with each other in the studio as much as the actual tasks themselves.

I suck so badly at this game!!! Probably helps if you play with friends rather than random match ups and know the map a bit better. Could do with a basic solo mode so I can have a play around and learn the characters a bit as like Manwell says, it's pretty unforgiving if you're a newbie!

Don't worry Bob, I've got this..... Won 2-1 against Strasbourg My life is now complete!!
