Nuno has had time to look at the squad, change training and select his strongest team. Combined with new tactics we stand a decent chance of taking three points, three points that will be the platform to start a slow climb out of the relegation zone and hopefully up the table. I'm going. If I have ...

14 today, thanks Zico I did get 3 as the answer to what number is "diagonally" opposite 20 on a dartboard. However, that was on the assumption that what you meant was directly opposite. However, that got me thinking, can you have a diagonal on a circle? It is not straightforward, but it se...

I am surprised that this thread is still attracting interest, but really, I shouldn't be. In the many years I have been on WHO this subject regularly gets reposted. In the past, I have tried to convince the non-believers and believers with concerns about God's apparent indifference to suffering to r...

I think old school captains are a thing of the past.  Look at some of them in the prem these days.  Odegaard etc. I think you are probably correct.
