  1. Erm. Not sure a three-legged, two-armed lion is the way to go...
  2. Great stuff. Now, do NOT let him try to score any more goals under any circumstances.
  3. Been tracking 2pts per game consistently since Emery joined, right? Still bang on 2pts per game this season I'm going to assume it continues and we get the full 76pts until something happens that changes my mind.
  4. Why did Torres go off? Was he actually injured? Because if not this it is likely to be a terrible terrible decision given the goal at the end of the first half.
  5. This is very concerning. Suddenly I don't have any faith that we're going to win this...
  6. Absolutely, but Ollie still had to be in the right place though and I'm convinced that this is the primary skill of a good striker. If you're always in the right place then goals are easy. But yeah, it does need the Baileys of the world to be on top form, and he really is.
  7. Duke's Travels is just an absolute beast of a piece of music. Never tired of listening to it.
  8. Exactly what I suspected. The plain lion was used for a reason (albeit the colours are stupid).
  9. So the Odysseus landed then. Despite its laser guidance packing in. Fortunately NASA just happened to have some spare lasers on board. That they somehow hooked up to the navigation computer so it could work out what height it was at. What kind of crazy Star Trek nonsense is that? I can just hear Geordi saying, "rerouting secondary laser guidance to the navigation computer" now.
  10. So was the red bull actually the same as the one at the reveal? There was some talk that it was a fake and wouldn't actually have the Mercedes-like sidepod stuff.
  11. I suppose the hope is that these institutions don't rely entirely on council funding (which is pretty likely). But it's going to hit hard regardless.
  12. If this tweet about the arts is to be believed I don't think there will be any Birmingham Life in the future....
  13. It's an athletics stadium and that's what it should remain. It's not like the London Olympics stadium that didn't exist beforehand. The rugby appears not to happen in the main stadium at all but in the small warmup area area to the side. Can't see how that would be appropriate for our women's team.
  14. Postal addresses aside, Sutton Park rules.
  15. Postal address for Streetly is Sutton Coldfield. It is also (along the Thornhill Road and Streetly Road stretches which includes Streetly Village itself) the border of Sutton Park. I suppose you could argue that the edge of Sutton Park forms the border of Sutton perhaps, but I'd argue that if you live on the road that goes around Sutton Park you live in Sutton.
  16. It is literally right next to the M42. I'm sure a bit of road redevelopment isn't impossible. And the Belfry never seemed to struggle with it.
  17. There was recent report on The Guardian I think, or maybe the BBC, and Birmingham ranked I think 41st of all councils in terms of debt per council tax payer. There are councils out there that have ten times the debt per head of Birmingham. It's just that Birmingham is by far the largest so it makes good headlines. The reasons seem to vary by council - some are historic issues, some are large projects that went wrong, but most seem to involve risky investments that went badly wrong (triggered by government underfunding leading to immensely bad decisions)
  18. What about bodymoor heath? Plenty of land round there, next to the Belfry, the M42 etc. obviously no trains though which is a big problem.
  19. Amazing story of the guy that invented the blue LED. Very inspiring.
  20. I was surprised at how positive Danny Murphy was about Villa on MOTD. He is usually extremely negative and dismissive but he actually came close to complimenting us.
  21. I've watched it a lot of times now and I see Ollie and the defender going shoulder to shoulder, Ollie nicks the ball away and then the defender trips Ollie up. I can't see your interpretation at all I'm afraid.
