Even Americans would have trouble turning left on red - turning right is easier to get the hang of

 

[Johnny75]

Oops, surprised our American friend didn't pick up on that.

Why would you turn left if it's on red?

Why would you turn left if it's on red?

In Wolverhampton its trying to keep up with a Taxi.

Whether it's over 5, 60 or 200 yards, I don't believe Berra was quicker than Matt Jarvis for a second. I'd love to know where this comes from, seen it brought up a few times.

My guess would be on stride lengths or something, Jarvis was what 5'6 and Berra 6'2?

Not left but right. In some states you can turn right if the light is on red and nothing else is coming (or there's a sign telling you not to).

Similar in France where you get a little amber flashing light about halfway down the pole

Tbh I'm not aware of any state where "right on red" isn't legal (unless explicitly stated by a sign, as you say).

I always assumed that "left on red" would have been just as legal in the UK.

We have those for left turns (across lanes). Basically means "you can go now but if you get hit it's on you".

The Sun linked him with us earlier this week

We do need to sign at least one striker as we only have two senior ones at the club, I don't think there's any longevity in using Van La Parra up there. I would expect any striker signing to be much lower key than a £3m buy though, we have greater pressing needs elsewhere, I think we'd only be spending that kind of money in that area if a really top player for this level (Dwight Gayle?) happened to just fall in our lap and we felt we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Mason has looked decent in the bits I've seen but I certainly wouldn't put him in that category nor would I say he is worth that kind of money at this stage.

 

[Johnny75]

I hope that's not true as £3m for a sub striker would be a bizarre bit of business.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Some fool has put an extra zero on that. £300,000 maybe.

Season finished a few weeks ago and I think we could put 2 teams out with the linked players so far. Long Summer ahead me thinks

No different to any other close season then

As you get older everything seems to be quicker!

 

[Johnny75]

Or do you get slower?

Or do you get slower?

Probably - yes (mainly because I cannot be arsed to rush around now - have learnt that it gains me nothing)
