    [Football] Potential carnage Semi Final - England v Turkey

    I'm going to the Switzerland game and looking forward to mixing with what I assume to be some very good people. They like a neutral stance. Turkey however would be a different kettle of fish! Don't think I'll go, but if I do I'll be packing my running shoes.

    [Football] Euros 2024 - Round of 16 (England vs Slovakia & Spain vs Georgia)

    I booked my travel plans for Düsseldorf for the quarter finals today so apologies in advance if this inevitably means we lose tomorrow.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Whatever your politics, you must be able to see this is a stitch up. But even if it wasn’t where are all the reports on the actions of other parties activists? You’re telling me there isn’t anything on the hard left anti semitic or the Tories racist members? I’m not buying it. It’s a media...

    [Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

    Took Friday 5th off as soon as the election was called. Ready for an all nighter. However have also now planned to go to Düsseldorf early that day IF England can beat Slovakia. That will mean an all nighter is going to be tricky!

    [Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 12 (Netherlands vs Austria, France vs Poland, England vs Slovenia & Denmark vs Serbia)

    Joking aside I actually think it would be. Play with two proper wingers, stick Foden up with Kane, Bellingham and Rice in behind. What's not to like?

    [News] Even Hooters is feeling the pinch

    Yes it was certainly open when I went past there two weeks ago.

    [Misc] Best Flag - Union Jack or Le Tricolore?

    Or is the Dutch flag just the French flag turned on its side?

    [Misc] Charity requests when paying by card

    I don't have an issue with it. I tend to say yes or no depending on whether I trust the business that is doing it to give the money to the charity. Local garden centre Haskins asks me for 25p every time and I happily oblige with a yes. Some dodgy petrol station will probably get a no. Given...

    Never in doubt. Feel sorry for Kimber, what a knock.

    Just bowl it at the stumps man!

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    Could be one of the most embarassing defeats ever. Up there with Botham's test at Headingly in 81?

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    I don't like to see young English players being sold. We should be trying to develop them and give them a chance. Pretty sure Tony Bloom once said he'd love a first eleven that was fully English home grown. That seems a millions mile away with our incoming signings predominantly from abroad...

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    Is that the same as the old fashioned sweeper? Before my time really but it sounds like the same role really.

    [Football] England's R16 Opponents - Confirmed as Slovakia

    I agree with that. But then could be the Dutch, they look pretty solid too. Frankly we just have to sort our own poop out regardless of who we face don't we!

    [Albion] Relegation?

    He does have a point though. It certainly has a feel about it that suggests it will go very well or very badly. I'd incline towards the former though.

    [Football] England's R16 Opponents - Confirmed as Slovakia

    Very similar in their approach to Denmark. Very high press. I agree, we'd struggle on current form.
