Well, there is that. But the Normans came from what is now northern France. Their ancestors were from what is now Scandinavia. And they invaded what is now England.

The Normans had been settled in northern France for between 100 and 200 years by the time they invaded England. Several generations had grown up there. In my book that makes them French.

They've scored about 100 more in the next 23 overs. I got out of bed to watch after seeing your post. A lot more placid than I expected.

Unbelievably poor defending for that goal. FFS…

It is in an odd place at Craven Cottage, in his defence.

I assume you’re in bed, living your username.

I would find this distracting when I’m watching the cricket.

That’s just brilliant. Fantastic news.

They also want to host the Women’s World Cup in 2035. This seems unthinkable, given their record on Women’s rights, but it will happen. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67160971.amp

His reply was all that you deserved for your utterly brainless ramblings.

Fat Boy Slim played a fundraising gig at The Albert last night. Unfortunately it was invitation only, so we couldn't get in, but it was rocking in there, apparently.

Us ticketless fans will be indistinguishable from those with tickets until the game. Then the ‘ultras’ will be at the match with you lot. We’ll be fine. 🙂

Be sure to report back on your findings. 🙂

I’m flying over on Wednesday evening with Junior Pogue, from Stansted. We’re staying in an airbnb near the docks until Saturday evening. I am also pretty resigned to not getting a ticket now, and this thread is a right boost to my mood. Thanks @Simster .

147? In a completed match? That's about 1.5 every minute. How is that possible? We manage more than that when fannying around at the back for a couple of minutes.

My goodness, we have had a right tutathon here, and my beard has never felt so polished. Mrs Mahone was fully involved, and if those hoodlums had witnessed her eyes rolling, they'd have backed down, terrified. I blame the teachers.

Thanks! 😊

Can someone post a link to Ronald's video? I can't seem to find it. I want to slowly shake my head and tut, whilst stroking my beard.

The Albert is such a brilliant pub. We are so lucky to have so many great pubs in Brighton, and The Albert is pretty much the jewel in the crown. This cannot be allowed to happen. The wankers.

The magnificent Gil Scott Heron.
