Never shower, but I have a bath every month - whether I need it or not.

Naa, that can't be it. This is 2024, there must be a conspiracy somewhere.

Sadly I don't think it's going to, I think the ECB have invested too much in it, both financially and reputationally. Obviously I want it to as I'd like to go back to having some meaningful cricket to watch in August and not have a one-day series with Australia reaching its climax when the...

Interesting reading that article. As I don't follow the Hundred I haven't paid too much attention to the franchise sale, but the article says that the ECB have a 49% stake in the franchises, with the remaining 51% 'gifted' to the franchise host. Hampshire are apparently contemplating selling...

No! The current change to GOSBTS (being played before kick-off instead) has been met with universal acclaim by comparison. EDIT: I would like to know how many games it was done for. It wasn't many.

Oh yes, evening games were special and yes, like the Amex, on the right occasions the Goldstone could generate an amazing atmosphere. Remember Ipswich in the League Cup? Everyone, players , journalist, etc remarked on how loud it was, indeed when we played Derby in the next round one of the...

We were going to watch it on catch-up as our one of our neighbours said it was good. However having read the reviews it seems to have been almost universally panned - not just on here. (There is way too much good stuff to waste time watching something that seems such an obvious turkey). Amongst...

:lolol: I was, er, at the other end from you.

.... nor was the Goldstone. I saw hundreds of games there from 1966 and for the vast majority of them the atmosphere never came close to a 'normal' Amex atmosphere - which admittedly isn't very good either. I too look back at the Goldstone with affection. It was our home and we had some great...

North Stand. When he came on I turned to my mate and said: "That's David Beckham. He's going to be one of England's great players, he'll marry a pop star and become one half of a style brand. He'll take a great free kick though." (Some of you may question the veracity of that statement, so I'll...

Wow, fantastic model. Makes it look way better than it was in reality, especially towards the end of its life. But yeah it was a dump. Give me the Amex any day.

Because they're selfish ****s.

Thanks for the update. Several times I was going to dig this thread out myself and ask how it was going, but thought that you might want to keep it private. Really pleased that despite the horrors, fears and the sheer grind of the treatment that you can see at least a bit light at the end of...

So the winless Giants come to Cleveland ..... .... and are winless no longer! You're welcome, Giants fans. We appreciate you tried to lose by immediately giving us the ball, but we insisted.

I like the description of 'Schrodingers football!' :) Yeah, I understand why the rule was brought in, but the execution of it IS farcical. A classic example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. As you say you get these pieces of 'zombie play' where the game is ostensibly going...

No, it's not the same one. It simply can't be.

Thank you for the info. It must be annoying when people jump to conclusions about the whole 'proddy' thing - although it has to be said that a Celtic fan of my acquaintance refers to Hearts fans as "Huns without the bus fare!"

No one has suggested the monorail for one obvious reason - there is no monorail from the station to the seafront. (It terminates at Churchill Square)

Blimey, I think 'incandescent with RAGE' is overstating it somewhat. Most people simply pointed out it was a bit crappy and/or highlighted individual entries. (I pointed out one factual error, then said I recognised the type of person it was lampooning). Anyway, as you say, it's being talked...

Ultimately, yes, you are right. And your last sentence is spot-on. I think it's incredibly cringy, but if the choice is to hear that or nothing then "f*** off home" is way better. And while we're at it let's re-instate that one that we apparently got from St Pauli. (Appropriate as we've now got...
