Just finished watching the latest series on iPlayer. My verdict (which I'm sure you're all interested in): WAY better than the Chibnall era. Probably not as good as RTD's first spell, but then it was all new then. The last two-part story was a little bit overblown, but 'Dot and Bubble' I thought...

They thought it wouldn't be necessary. I mean it's the West Indies, right? It's always hot there isn't it? Nice and sunny? It's not as if the average rainfall in Guyana in June is 320mm (compared to 60mm in England).

Yeah, reading some of the other posts I think you may be right. It was just that it was so prevalent that my wife and I both noticed it. It was almost if you didn't have a union flag motif somewhere on your clothing then you weren't cool.

I was in Barcelona just after the 2012 Olympics, and I was amazed at how many young people were wearing clothes with union flag emblems on them. Sometimes it was a stylised version, fuzzy lines and stuff like that, but quite often it was just a plain flag. I assumed they weren't all raving...

Yes, I'm clutching at that straw too! :lolol: We knew the group was going to be tough with well-organised teams just sitting back against us. Hopefully we'll do better against teams that want to attack and give us some space. History, and our recent form, is against us (is it two wins in seven...

They might be marginally better (the top club sides, stuffed with the best players from across the world, are usually better than international sides these days), but I don't think the difference is so great as to account for his total apparent 'shit-ness'. I'm not one to say "We're Ingerland...

Yeah, must be. Anyway, just give us all the £70,000 you owe us and we'll say no more about it!

I believe you are correct. Amateur boxing introduced headguards sometime in the mid-80s. About ten years ago they scrapped them again (for senior men anyway) as they discovered they had made no difference with regard to shocks to the skull. Also they had increased some injuries as punches that...

I hear what you're saying, but I don't think they could ban the ball going over head height. Define 'head height' for a start. Will it be a fixed height? Also they'll have to make the goals smaller as any shot into the top corner will be disallowed. VAR will have a field day! As it would if they...

Well it's not totally irrelevant, his point is that other sports also carry an element of risk of long-term damage to your health. Repeatedly banging your head against anything is not good, be it walls, fists, old sodden leather footballs or even the modern variety. Quite rightly people are...

We use it as a chance to nip to the toilet and/or get another drink. (I'm with the majority - it's shit and it's British not English).

Just out of interest, where did you hear of it?

I'm the same. I'm not a huge football fan (I never watch domestic/European football unless Brighton are involved), but in the same way as I always watch the snooker world championship and ignore it all the rest of the year I always watch the Euros/World Cups. They're major sporting events. And...

I wonder if Graham Potter likes Taylor Swift?

I would love to have gone, but I had no idea it was on.

They lost their shape badly didn't they? All those subs might have given them fresh legs but they became very disjointed. It was a bit like watching England!

Is that the guy they signed from Galatasary? :dunce:

Oh don't say that! Imagine if that Serbia game is as good as it gets! Surely we can get better .......... can't we?

That's very true. Also don't forget that Hodgson's chosen successor wasn't actually Southgate ...... it was Sam Allardyce. That tells you all you need to know about the mindset/DNA of the FA, 'agricultural' is probably being kind. Southgate has done an awful lot right for England, and I don't...

Quite jealous. I've never seen her live, but having heard all the hype I watched one of her Vegas shows on Disney+. It was extremely good and I imagine it must be a great live experience. Ok musically it's not quite my cup of tea, but I still enjoyed it. Her material is excellent and she's a...
