I think I’d disagree with your definition of action. There is plenty of interesting stuff that happens in football that isn’t a shot on goal, just as there are elements of American football that aren’t a touch down which are still enjoyable to watch.

It’s not a brilliant save, although it’s a very good example of what you’re meant to do in that situation. She comes out, makes herself as big as she can and closes down the striker. It robs them of time to breath and forces them to make a decision rather than letting them pick their shot.

They were immediately replaced by another electronic manufacturer. I think it was Samsung.

While Carlsberg is pretty bad, Fosters is far worse. In fact Fosters with a twist of lime (not a twist of line you added, it was preflavoured that way) is by far the worse thing I have ever drunk, even when it was selling at 90p a bottle to try and clear the stock

I am not sure there is a single item in my life I enjoy as much as this bear enjoys that stick.

Yes, Bognor isn't the best place to visit really. My mum lives there now as she works for the University (I assume that's where you studied), but I'm never really thrilled when I visit. The cinema is meant to be good though, tickets are about £2 or something, which is ludicrously cheap. And there's a good pub on the…

I'm interested in exploring some of the beers mentioned on Drunkspin, but I have no idea where to buy them in the UK. Do the smaller beers even make it internationally? Does anyone have any tips?

Is there an integer solution to that equation?

Team might be overselling it. Replace team with franchise and it's spot on.

As a die hard Brighton fan I was at the game against Arsenal this weekend, and Rosický was simply amazing. I was actually looking forward to seeing Alexis Sanchez, but I felt our defenders managed to make him look very average and he never really got into the game. The only thing that really amazed me about Sanchez…

It makes me so happy to see my beloved Brighton highlighted, even if it is with a goal being scored against us. Was a great game, and if we'd only been more awake in the first half a draw seemed possible.

If you listen to Mourinho's post match conference it's clear he doesn't view the competition as irrelevant or meaningless. Yes there are more prestigious competitions, but that's not to say that teams don't want to win the FA Cup. And if you think Chelsea didn't want to do the quadruple or some form of treble this…

Meaningless? Hell no.

While Chelsea certainly didn't actively send him to America, I think they might have reconsidered letting him go if it had been clear he was going to their biggest league rival. When he was released all the chatter was that he'd go to MLS, and I imagine that there may have been some understanding with Chelsea that he…

I wasn't aware of the FFP loans rule, so I will retract my prior statement. There's still elements about the move, notably that Lampard seemingly didn't actually sign for NYCFC, that do seem shady, and I do wonder if Chelsea would have freely allowed Lampard to move if it had been clear he'd move to a rival rather…

Yup. Shady as hell.

Come on now, NYCFC aren't a vanity team, they're a way for Manchester City (which are, to some extent, a vanity club) to create elaborate ruses that allow them to avoid Financial Fair Play restrictions. They're essentially the Caymen Islands of football.

Really good piece. It's a shame they had that blip, but all teams have one (even Chelsea, as we've just seen), and they're moving into an easier period with far more winnable games.

Have to say I was actually really impressed by how the NFL handled the Rememberance Day elements of today's game. I didn't know if they'd be doing much for it, but the pre-game elements were well done, and having the poppies on the uniforms is nice. Poppies on uniforms are pretty much the default for football/soccer…

I'm literally in England, although not going to the game, and even I think this is annoying. I watch NFL in the evening, allowing me to get stuff done in the Sunday day time. Now my whole schedule for the day is out of whack.
