Is P Block not 'family' anymore? Just general admission adjacent to the away corner? Sounds like a better location than SK1 unless it's full of STH that won't move for the good of the atmosphere. See, swap the Kop with the Family Stand. No ones ever thought of that

Quick look at the Bournemouth forum and they thought it was a penalty and they got away with it.

I think we've got 6 points more than we had after the first 7 games the last time we were in the premier League. Cooper wouldn't have been my choice and not just because of the NottsF baggage. This season was always going to be a struggle whoever got the job. Never expected it to be pretty but I enjoyed the grit (and luck) to hold on for the win. I'm not downhearted and it's good to go into an international break on the back of a win.

I think we saw quite a bit of what he's about in the Everton game.

Not sure what the QR Code on the big screen was for with the announcement that VAR check was complete. Perhaps we were supposed to scan it for the line images

That's true but sometimes it is a pen. No one knows what handball is anymore.

MotD wanted to make sure they showed every Bournemouth chance so they had a hard luck story to tell. No time for owt else.

It's about consistency though. Could accept if it was the same in every incident, for every club.

It would've been given last season. Possibly this season if the players and crowd made more of it. Anyone got a clip of it?

Thought that our defending corners has improved this season. Not sure if that's due to the new set piece coach or Okoli.

Doing mental gymnastics from the West Stand when Stockley Park were trying to draw the 'right' lines to allow the Bournemouth non-goal. Very surprised they couldn't manage it.

That's grim. Unfortunately, UK law can't touch them as most of the vile abuse comes from overseas. Don't know if this stuff did.

She's backtracked a bit after being called out. So much for Starmers reassurance this sort of stuff wouldn't be tolerated in the Labour Party.

I made paying off the mortgage as the priority as we'd always have a roof over our heads. Also not racking up debt so having a clean slate by retirement. Agree it's a balancing act but just about being realistic and cloth cutting. If only we knew how long we'd live for. Probably best not to know I'm now trying to find ways to legally pass on my worldly goods to the kids without HMRC getting it

£65k is more than a very decent pension. Not sure what we'll have as a couple as Mrs Spud is 6 years younger than me and wants to keep working full time. It won't be that high though when she does retire. We don't have a mortgage so just need enough to pay the bills, run a car each, occasional holiday and my season ticket Might get the fishing kit out again

Didn't know that we have a dedicated Retirement thread albeit not used for over 3 years. This is my first week of official retirement. I'm one of those 'lucky' ones that qualifies for State Pension at 66. Got my bus pass but don't like busses much (or any public transport). Don't want to laze around all day and need to find a bit of a purpose. Don't want a job in Homebase or selling sofas in DFS, or anywhere else. I'm financially secure even without a winter fuel payment. My ex-boss retired at 60, didn't have much to do and died at 64. What do others do, or plan to do?

This is my first week of official retirement. Not sure what's going on yet. Feeling a bit lost

If only it was confined to that part of the world. It's rapidly being imported into the west hence the rise of the right across Europe.

The C4 News had two nutters, one from each side, on tonight. The one from Iran went all Comical Ali. Laughable if it wasn't so painfully serious.

I didnt vote in the last election for the first time in my adult life. I just couldn't bring myself to endorse any of them. Obvious that Labour were lying, they all were.

What's that nasty Cheddar stuff about? Needs to be Red Leicester.

Does that person have to be a Fox Member?

I've been an active supporter since I was a little kid (and a gobshite teenager) on the Filbert Street terraces but now I'm bored of it. Lost the passion and excitement (although I was punching the air when JJ scored that second). I've got a season ticket and travel 2.45hrs each way for a home game. If my son hints that he feels the same then that will be it. Perhaps just go to the occasional game if we can get tickets like we used to. Feels like we've already completed football and now have the t-shirt. I've been one of the very lucky ones that has been there for our golden era. I'll always the follow the club and count myself as a fan but not a regular match going one. I'm getting too old and tired of it all. All that said, nothing is likely to change whilst stadiums are selling out even at rip-off prices. It's got some way to go before the pendulum starts to swing back. I'll be long gone by then.

You can't let that happen whatever the result. He's only 7, get him the merchandise, tell him all about 2016, the '21 Cup Final. Mind games. It's good parenting
