There were only 2 games in Britain in season 04-05 than finished 7-1.
Rangers V Dundee United and Man City V Barnsley.
The same two goalkeepers played in both games - Ronald Waterreus for Rangers and City, Nick Colgan for Dundee Utd and Barnsley.

🇬🇧 Peugeot 306 Cosworth
The Andy Burton Peugeot 306 (often referred to as the Peugeot 306R4 or Peugeot Cosworth) is an iconic custom-built rally car in British motorsport history.
Driven and engineered by Herefordshire farmer and rally legend Andrew Burton, the car became a fan favorite across UK forest rallies due to its incredible speed, unique engineering, and unmistakable engine roar.
Key Specifications & Features
Engine:
Powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre V6 Cosworth KF engine (a derivative of the engine Cosworth developed for Opel/Vauxhall DTM racing). It revved past 10,000 RPM, producing over 300 hp and an unforgettable exhaust note.
Drivetrain & Chassis:
While it used modified Peugeot 306 body panels, the underlying chassis and four-wheel-drive running gear were custom-engineered by Burton himself, incorporating parts from MG Metro 6R4 running gear and custom tubular space-framing.
Layout:
Front-mid engine placement optimized for weight distribution across gravel forest stages.
History & Legacy
Success on the Stages:
Despite competing against heavily funded, factory-backed World Rally Cars (WRC), Burton’s self-built machine routinely won national and regional UK rallies outright, including events like the Malcolm Wilson Rally and Woodpecker Stages.
The 2011 MSA Rule Change:
At the end of the 2011 season, the UK Motorsport Association (MSA) updated its vehicle eligibility regulations for national rallying, effectively banning non-homologated, custom space-frame specials like Burton's 306. 😭
Burton officially retired the car following his victory at the 2011 Woodpecker Stages. It remains one of the most celebrated "special" rally cars ever built in the UK.

The single best joke in any Carry On film.
“I tried it once and didn’t like it.”
Oh look. A misogynistic cunt being a misogynistic cunt again.

Today I asked another Minister (No idea who she is) a very simple question.
Once again a Minister who does not know their brief.

Can anyone help me please? I really like the poppy / Union Jack pin badge that Ryan Bridge of Raise the Colours was wearing when he tried to get into that Wetherspoon’s in Gosport the other day, but I can’t find it for sale on the Royal British Legion website. Naturally I could buy it elsewhere, but that would mean that the Royal British Legion wouldn’t see any of the money which sounds like a bit of a shitty thing to do as after all, the whole period of remembrance is about supporting their work in every possible way.
So, if anyone can point me towards somewhere to buy it on any of the RBL’s official channels, that would be great. Thanks!

Phil Daniels is 68 today, Happy Birthday Phil I hope you have the most amazing day 🎁🎂
Bullshit. It is not within the remit of a mayor to sign a 'trade agreement'. When did Lincolnshire declare independence ?
This morning, I signed a landmark trade agreement with Tainan in Taiwan, strengthening ties between our regions and creating new opportunities for trade, investment and innovation.
Greater Lincolnshire has a huge amount to offer, and this agreement is another step towards showing the world what we do best. 🇹🇼 🇬🇧
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK mayors cannot sign binding international trade agreements (reserved for central UK government); Taiwanese reports describe this as a sister city twinning agreement, and prior official statements called it a non-binding MOU for local cooperation.
