    [Albion] Albion Women

    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...

    [Help] Post length

    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.

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    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...

    [Football] Euros 2024 - FINAL!!! Spain vs England

    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...

    [Football] Euros 2024 - FINAL!!! Spain vs England

    Gets himself into good positions, he can tackle, but he can't seem to look after the ball. Sometimes he gives the ball away like a pub player.

    [Football] Thank you Southgate, and goodbye

    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...

    [Football] Thank you Southgate, and goodbye

    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...

    [Football] Euros 2024 - FINAL!!! Spain vs England

    I Just don't understand why we spent 80 minutes doing this anyway. Kane wasn't mobile enough to hold it up.

    [Football] Thank you Southgate, and goodbye

    Yeah I wouldn't argue. He's done well and the players do play for him, but he just isn't tactically astute enough at the VERY highest level.

    [Football] To all the Southgate haters / wrong again and again and again **SOUTHGATE NOW RESIGNED**

    Correct. We scored, had all the momentum and then just sat back determined to let them have the ball and wait for extra time.

    Crazy talk. I want us to win something. Perhaps do it with style another time.

    [Football] What's the most excited you've been for a football match in the 21st century?

    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...

    [Albion] Was it YOU at the Arizona Diamondbacks game last night?

    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...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    I always appreciate people using the wrong "there/their/they're" when doing a comedy simpleton parody.

    [Politics] Tory voters- where do you go from here?

    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...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    So do I to be honest. And if he'd simply posted that rather than a list of bollocks, I'd probably have liked his post.
