I think it was Oscar Wilde, on being told the price of funerals, who said, “I am even dying beyond my means.”

I think we would have beaten Rayo.

Brentford at home.

Are we part of the Festival fringe now?

The three missed penalties in the FA Cup.

Once again, I have to plead ignorance as I am not from the area, but was Penny Lane a type of football academy at one point?

I think he played Ken Barlow’s brother in the early Corrie days. Topically, his character was a footballer involved in a bribes case who later married the Ogdens’ daughter.

A 3-1 win with 2 late goals.

I thought the Popemobile was a much smaller vehicle than that.

The old cricket umpire, David Constant, who told us off for moving behind the bowler’s arm at Chelmsford.

Happy birthday, Joey.

I would not join any clique that would have me as a member.

My 6 year old grandson asked me if the Sunderland keeper was one of the best in the world because he saved the penalties.
