It's about growth in the long run I would think. In some ways, there are parallels to the growth of the men's game in the US & Canada. Twenty years ago they were playing in cavernous stadiums and often drawing flies Nowadays, average gates are 23,000 with three times the number of teams...
How long does a post have to be on here before you just decide not to bother reading it? I don't mean a quote from an external article, I mean pure unadulterated opinion. For me it does depend on the poster in question but as a rule of thumb I'd say that anything more than say 7 or 8...
Lalalalalalala they get spanked in wars
Doobedooh they let their generals throw their citizens out of planes
Mums still have to protest to find out where the fck their kids disappeared to.
Loads of natural resources yet they have slums everywhere, the third world cnts.
No wonder the people of...
I really need to add my input from Saturday's game, the most ridiculous game of cricket I've ever played:
Oppo put themselves in and quickly set about scoring runs freely. A small mercy that the outfield was slow and batters weren't getting value for their shots with hardly anything reaching...
In some ways he's a player from another era. Nowadays you simply have to be able to look after the ball at this level. Rice gives the ball away in dangerous areas far too frequently. He is a tremendous tackler, he anticipates danger and he gets into some great positions going forward, but...
I don't know why this is, but you are right. And we always have been.
England have been tactically shite under Robson (until he stumbled on Beardsley), Taylor, Hodgson, Venables, Capello and Eriksson. We have always looked less than the sum of our parts, and the only difference with Southgate...
People say some quite extraordinary things when they're disappointed. He's really not a c.nt is he? He's done his best and massively improved the national side from what overpaid, overrated people previously did. Ultimately, he's just not good enough at the very highest level.
As for Kane...
Can't split these:
Donny at home for the Amex opening
Play off final in Cardiff
Roma away
Closely followed by these in no particular order:
Man Utd FA Cup semi
Man City FA Cup semi
Wigan at home for the promotion game
Palace away in 2002 - the 5-0 game. *shudder*
AEK at home
It's nearly all...
Randy Johnson was the best pitcher I have ever seen. In 1993 when the Jays were heading for back to back World Series, we had a couple of series with the Mariners and every time he pitched, our batters simply couldn't get at.him. He was class even if he looked like he lived In a trailer park...
If they continue with this, then they will be in the wilderness for years. They need to put daylight between themselves and Reform and the reason that needs to happen is simply that the people in charge of Reform are past looking at cosey deals or merging with the Tories. Ten years ago, the...
