Sri Lankan national anthem is a humdinger. Great words too. I feel a bit embarrassed when we follow it: Thou Mother Lanka, Oh Mother Lanka we salute, salute, salute, salute Thee! Plenteous in prosperity, Thou, Beauteous in grace and love, Laden with grain and luscious fruit, And fragrant...

I am surprised by that. It will be interesting to see the pitch.

I remember queuing for Hove for a Nat West match. I'd bunked off school. It was okay though, because the adult I was with was... my teacher. (true story) Many recriminations these days, but my parents were more than happy with it.

For those who are worried about a match that may not go to the 5th day, the last five Test matches at Lords against Sri Lanka have been drawn. I suspect that may change this time- unless they produce one of their county pitches, in which case expect a run fest of silly proportions.

I should 'ope so, the amount you paid for the ticket :eek:

This @officialBHAFC account certainly seems to be in the know.

Season before last, Chelsea were beaten by Man City early on in both tournaments.

It is avoidable with a slightly more technical draw. A Champions League Club cannot play a Europa League club. I agree with that. So the draw is done normally. If it happens, the away team is moved to that slot in the next pairing. Then another is drawn out, repeat if necessary.

:lolol: I was just about to type that. I will anyway. Get On With It

Now for the long drawn out process. I used to enjoy the 12.30 straight to the FA, posh blokes in suits with no fanfare. Bert MIllichip should make a ghostly return.

The pub or the female flasher ? :lolol:

Shame the Abergavenny Arms went. My funniest memory of that was sitting across from a, not unattractive, women in a crop top who insisted on raising her arms in a very expressive way and giving a full flash of her upper assets. I'm not sure how intended it was but, being an innocent lad, I was a...

I sometimes wonder if such a stat is because they are teams that find themselves defending less and being fouled more. As for Chelsea, well you'd book them for turning up. Hardly a United bias there though. They had more than Luton or Burnley.

Well I do live in the past.

ASDA have called me and confirmed they have cancelled the charge. Oddly, they say they have received no other requests from that day. I'm bewildered as to how this has then occurred.

It's as if with some kind of repentance for it's dalliance with that hussy up the road, cricket returns with more offerings this week at its spiritual home. Sri Lanka, having filled us with one sided worry on the first morning, made a good showing in the last match and could have won had it not...

I think that's the protest thread. Out of here, a few lines south. :D

They really don't It really isn't. It's just the same as anywhere else. It was a football match that had a bad tackle by someone from Northampton.

In the 90s, Crawley had the lowest unemployment rate in the country. I'm guessing Gatwick would have been a reason and the huge industrial estate. I worked there for a while and knew folk from there. Never had an opinion on the place either way. Just another new town really. Not very engaging...

Oh dear.. so what happened last night ? 1) It wasn't a dirty match. Apart from a tackle earlier on which should have been a sending off and sadly had repercussions. Ironically, the actual sending off wasn't that bad. It did get a little physical at times from both sides 2) Ref did let a lot...
