The number certainly seemed familiar, my first thought was the Steve Wright In The Afternoon show’s spoof 0898 ad’s that were a running joke on the show but that was 0898 121 121, for example, two Rotarians and an egg whisk on 0898 121 121. There were loads of them, all equally bizarre and often quite funny.
Those Club Call & Team Talk lines were an absolute rip off, in fact, they were a double rip off because not only did they fleece the supporters but the clubs only got 25%-35% of the total revenue generated. Overall the biggest winners were the media companies operating the lines and then BT who took 25%-30% of the total revenue generated for themselves. Top flight clubs typically earned 10p-13p per minute depending on who they were, so, Saints = 10p/min, Liverpool = 13p/min

Likewise, I won’t rest either…
They missed a trick in the 2019 film Cats, they should have named Corden’s character Funt then he could have been known as Cat Funt 😄 |

Except on Sky? Absolutely right, the new narrative does not fit in with Sky’s relentless’Disneyfication’ of the Premier League. Of course, City are one of their pet clubs they love to gush over uncontrollably. Poor Sky, hopefully this will become a piece of history that they cannot rewrite. |

Seconded re Ludwig, a third series has been commissioned and starts filming this month.
New ITV drama The Blame is supposed to be good, starts 20th September.
Also looking forward to the second series of Nick's pick, This City is Ours on the Beeb, 8 Eps, coming this autumn. |

I can’t count up to ten in French anymore. 1 to 7, absolutely fine but when I get to 8 my throat constricts, I start coughing and my eyes get red and swollen and start to water. Turns out I’ve developed a bad huit allergy…. [Post edited 16 Sep 19:49]

What do you get when you cross a dyslexic, an atheist, and an agnostic?
Someone who stays up late wondering if there is a dog…
How do you know when a dyslexic was in charge of organising the drinks for the party you are at? There’s a bowl of melon slices to put in your gin & tonic…
Last Christmas my dyslexic friend went to a toga party dressed as a goat!
Meanwhile, his dyslexic wife took the kids to see Satan instead of Santa… |

I still do now! And they say cheats never prosper…
Your observations are spot on. Everyone knew as you rightly say. I’d go as far as to say England were hated by FIFA and UEFA at the time, it was only 12 months after Heysel so English teams were 1 year into a 5 year ban from European football at club level. The stigma surrounding English football fans affected the England team too IMO so what Maradona got away with was no surprise as a result. I reckon if that handball had been against Brazil or one of the other top European teams the goal would not have stood. |

at 13:49 11 Aug 2026
The vicar of St Mary’s Church in Southampton was so annoyed that he sent Hitler the co-ordinates of the road in Watford where SMC’s Vicarage was located but the German Bomber Command’s grasp of English wasn’t great so they launched a bombing raid on Watford FC’s Vicarage Road instead. By a stroke of luck the bombing raid was disallowed by VAR (Video Assistant Radar) as the lead bomber was offside as it entered into enemy airspace. The Germans complained as it was only by the protruding cap on the front of the lead bomber’s nose mounted propellor but the decision was upheld and Vicarahe Road was saved. |

Agreed, a decent fee and I echo the sentiments expressed above, good luck to the lad, I am sure he will not let Fulham down.
Fee is £26m base plus £4m add-ons and don’t forget City had a 15% sell-on clause. All said and done, enough left in the pot to find a replacement and get a decent forward in (not Jebbison!). If Celtic can get Kasper Hogh in from Bodo/Glimt for £11m there must be one out there like that for us… |

Spot on re the new third kit, I agree it is superb. I reckon it will outsell the 2nd kit many times over. Would not be surprised to see the initial allocation sell out quite quickly. |
