  A deliberate handball on the line to prevent a goal is a red card, why not the keeper there?

  Also why is the linesman so reticent to put his flag up for offside where there is 3m of daylight? There is no doubt to be benefited...

  "Arsenal winning a game they have made no effort to try and win"

  Pfft, Since when has that been a concern of English teams? Let's just stick with who's scored the most goals?

  150k votes for green and lib dem, I'd guess 90,% of those are going to khan. It's a feature, not a big of the London gla voting system...

  Any further tips? Feels simple ish to me but also worried about messing it up.

  There may well be a more sophisticated approach but I would place wardrobe in alcove, drill 2 holes each side at 2/3 height, mark the brick or plaster, remove wardrobe, drill and plug, then replace wardrobe and fix in place... That won't come down without ripping it down

  Ours was renovated by the seller, who is a builder, prior to us buying it. Most of the work is "ok", and passed the structural survey anyway, but a lot is quite bodgy and clearly done by a jack of all trades.

  I don't follow this thread regularly, bit I presume VAR has been covered and the conclusion was it is an ill thought through stain on the game that will damage the game more than the ESL would have?

  The band of the mipky way rises and falls throughout the night, it passes through some obvious constellations though, I'll look into them up. Easiest to find them and then stare at the milky blackness
