Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts.

Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧡

It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.

My grandad’s battalion avoided capture in Norway by disguising themselves as Christmas trees - they were all highly decorated.

If you go to a wedding and swap the confetti for breakfast cereal you could get a Frostie reception.

A wise man reminded me this morning that in the exact same time period, France managed to exquisitely repair the Notre Dame while absolutely nothing has been done to fix Hammersmith bridge.

Sarr is direct, quick and brings energy. But his touch and decision making.....bloody hell. Chalobah has not impressed at all.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has Β£3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of Β£10tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

I agree Jay. He's a very good full back and people get on his back because he is not a marauding wing back.

True. But then Eze is one of the players who seems to only pass to Mitchell as a last resort (exaggeration I know). Newcastle seemed to target Mitchell yesterday, particularly in the 1st half. And you're right Eze gave him little support.

True, and it's not his fault he isn't Ashley Cole or Kyle Walker. But was saying to others yesterday that it appears his teammates have stopped passing to him, at least to an extent. Probably because all he will do is check inside and pass it straight back to whoever passed to him
