Six Nations 2019. Half time score England 31-7 Scotland. Scotland had lost every match they'd played at Twickenham since 1983. 18 consecutive defeats over 36 years. It looked like there could only be one outcome. Full time: England 38-38 Scotland. Details that don't augur so well for us on...

Jesus, do we have to do this competition as well? I'm not done being upset about Roma yet.

It seemed pretty lively already when I passed around six o'clock. But I got the impression they were just getting started.

Mine has just turned up while I was reading this thread. (Surname 'G' although I think we've established that's not relevant. I was also pretty late filling in that form from the club.) Too late to get it printed so I may just wing it with my phone on Thursday or see if my hotel in Rome can...

Don't give up hope just yet. FA Cup Final: 25th May...

I've just taken advantage of the fact that the Nightjet sleeper to Munich is a guaranteed service on strike days to book that route out of Rome on Friday evening, then Munich-Mannheim-Paris Est on the Saturday to catch the 19:39 Eurostar. It cost a bit on top of my interrail pass to reserve a...

I'm no expert on this stuff, but this UEFA coefficients page suggests that as things stand 7th could be the second Europa League spot (assuming we don't get a wildcard FA Cup winner). Might need Arsenal to get their act together in the Champions League. If we could knock Roma out of Europa that...

Someone trying to make sure that ticket sales go down to tier two?

When the smoke turned white I thought we were in Rome already and someone had elected a new pope.

There's a document on this page of the Trenitalia site of guaranteed long-distance train services on strike days. Doesn't seem to be a lot going north from Roma Termini.

Ah, that's a shame. I celebrated it more than any of our five at Bramall Lane last week. I hope you feel well enough to enjoy rescuing a point in stoppage time soon. (Next opportunity could well be next week against Fulham...) For me it was a draw that felt like a win for a few minutes...

I'm looking at: Tuesday 09:31 St Pancras to Paris (Nord) 13:51 Paris (Est) to Stuttgart 17:14 Stuttgart to Munich 20:10 (sleeper) Munich to Rome Friday 09:25 Rome to Milan 13:10 Milan to Zurich Saturday 09:34 Zurich to Paris (Lyon) 15:09 Paris (Nord) to St Pancras I'm almost ready to push the...

Not long now until I find out that all my assiduous loyalty point harvesting was for naught...

It really does. Obviously I posted it as a joke but now I'm looking at it with a kind of longing. I've already got the whole week booked off work... But I imagine the negotiations with car hire companies about insurance would be tricky. And no amount of Pro Plus would get me back in time for...

You don't have to go through Ukraine and their front line with Russia. Google offers a route through Turkey and Georgia that only adds two hours to the trip. It even avoids any shithousery at the Azerbaijan-Armenia border.

Whoever put together the match highlights for the concourses at full time really enjoyed cutting away to shots of Hodgson looking bewildered in his technical area. And I totally get it. I think I could watch 90 minutes of Roycam looking increasingly disconsolate as the game gently ambled away...

Oh well, with our league record in 2024 I didn't hold out much hope of seeing us score anyway...

There was Wrexham (H) that we contrived to draw then laboured to win the replay on penalties. I'm not sure I like the "easy" draws.

Jonathan Cal-leri?

Are you saying that to make room for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall we might have to release Financial Fair-Play? I can't remember F F-P contributing anything other than own goals anyway. No great loss(es).
