    My school played rugby seriously. We played against private schools.
    We even beat Harrow (funny story that)

    Coaches pick up and drop off near the the ground so that is an issue for those that still need to travel home.

    I'm going to Aberdeen in a few weeks...by train it would have cost £200 by plane it was £50 ... completely stupid

    I agree with that. But the reason football is so popular world wide is both the beauty of the game is that you need almost no equipment...and you can play with two people at a pinch. So it is open to everyone to take part. But as in every other aspect of capitalist society...money is bound to win in the end.

    If there was any consistency in officiating this season then the foul on Willian is a red. End of.
    The bar is probably too low now, but you can't start changing that level mid-season.

    The other view is that it was Willian and he is fair game, the treacherous twst.

    No.
    Nemesis for him IMHO would be to suffer a financial loss
    equivalent to whatever excess he earned over Spurs
    during his Chelsky stint.

    The no is unnecessary. For the record, I don't actually wish physical harm to him or any other footballer.

    Nemesis for the likes of him would be him doing a Gazza-esque tackle.

    The instructions to the VAR should be to refer the decision back to the Ref if it is inconsistent with recent practice.

    And now it either means posh or quite the opposite. Many are given the surnames of both unmarried parents. I don’t have a problem with that, but many do. Prejudice does exist around names - forenames too; you can’t deny that certain names, particularly those shared with figures in popular culture are going to limit life chances. Although the stats suggest that a double-barrelled name might get you a contract with Southampton
