I got tickets for my youngest and me - going Sunday week. Hotel prices were mental at the time, although we found a reasonable one. What annoys me more is that metro prices and attractions like the Eiffel tower have doubled their prices. €52 to go up to the viewing platform is insane.

Indeed. To me, cricket should be just two formats, both played from mid April to late September. A mix of four day and T20 evening games. No other formats. A properly organised T20 league would attract serious TV money if structured properly, and on the principle that a rising tide lifts all...

We have foxes under our garden cabin, which I've always felt was a small price to pay because the average fox kills three rats a day apparently, and rats are my 101 like Winston Smith. Oh and we also have a cat. So imagine my horror two months ago when I caught our cat squaring off with a rat...

This is where I'm at with it, and my youngest son. But I suspect the BBC could have spent money promoting the T20 blast and got the same result. Blocking out all of August for this competition is just dumb. Has domestic cricket really ever been anything other than a mess run by incompetent...

I watched 15 mins of it before getting bored for this very reason. Clare scored their 2nd goal, the Clare fans went mad and I thought to myself I wasn't surprised as they've jumped from a point behind to presumably about 4 or 5 ahead. But no, they went 2 ahead. At that point, I thought "oh...

10-12 I'd say. Even then, that is still only 1 every 4 games across three competitions. No young keeper capable of Championship football is going to be interested in that, unless they're at a club that expects to win trophies and pays them a lot of money.

I don't know about baseball but I think basketball and football are the two games that West Indian people look at these days. Football made huge inroads into new markets when the WC got expanded to 32 teams and Caribbean islands suddenly found themselves qualifying. Basketball is just one of...

I had a look at the Nigels official site for an update since this crap, gullible post from Palace's most boring poster. Any progress, photos, etc? Nope. But there was this: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/stadium/update-on-the-main-stand-redevelopment/ May I draw your attention to this line...

Because I am getting too old for binfests.

I bet that looks further along than Palace's new stand.

Well that's not true is it. They've been deleted for a reason.

Absolutely correct. We don't want Rushworth and Beadle here getting splinters because they only get to play 6 Premier League games a season. They need sustained exposure to the professional game. We are actually very lucky to have Jason Steele - he is a well regard professional who is old...

I can't get interested in a game against the Windies these days. It's sad what they've become. Most of us grew up with the collection of Caribbean islands (and Guyana) absolutely battering England with world class bowlers and batsmen - I don't think I've ever seen a bowler as graceful and...

This is literally the third or even the fourth time this joke has been made on the thread.

Obviously there are posts that are well worth reading in full, and I'm using very broad strokes here. But there are some posters who write essays all too frequently. If you're going to do that too often, with apparently no ability to distinguish between posts which could otherwise be written...
