    [Misc] Grounds You've Seen But Not Seen A Game

    San Siro. Long time ago......travelling light, rough and as cheaply as poss.......found myself at pavement cafe close to stadium....talked at length with a group of old men who lived and breathed football....the years falling off them as they reminisced about their heroes....looked at the ground...

    [Albion] Dunk to Leicester City?

    A contact at Leicester ( works for the club ) says Dunk isn't and hasn't been on the radar.

    [Cricket] **** England v Australia, 1st Specsavers Ashes Test, Edgbaston. Official match thread ****

    .....and we were 189-2.......and 282-4......... ( Buttler/Bairstow/Ali.... all went predictably cheaply ) Root hasn't got a clue. Smith is ultra talented but there was no strategy to bowl to him. No thought given. Siddle and Lyon allowed to add 162 runs for the last two wickets! Edgbaston is...

    [Cricket] **** England v Australia, 1st Specsavers Ashes Test, Edgbaston. Official match thread ****

    Hmmmm.....I agree.....oink, oink......brace yourself for a limp surrender. Anything else is bonus territory. This is a truly terrible England batting side at Test level. Mindset all wrong. Most have techniques that you could drive a no.47 bus through. This is what you get when the executive...

    [Politics] Brexit

    No....just not trying to be as smug and clever as you. Well if you don't want to hear a view of a business owner on here thats up to you. They are connected, of course they are. Business is inextricably linked to Brexit. You clearly have a one way ticket to the ' we are all going to be poorer...

    [Politics] Brexit

    How the f--cking hell do you know that I can afford to take ' the hit ' You know nothing about me. Just because I run my own business do you think I am swilling in money? Would you even stop to consider that some business people are in serious debt? My business runs on a knife-edge sometimes...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Well not everyone shares your crystal ball of the future and how do you know how I voted? Just because I am not leaping onto the doom and gloom bandwagon every millisecond on here doesn't mean that I don't sympathise with the Remain cause. I am probably one of the few that can actually see both...

    [Politics] Brexit

    My market place is domestic, like 80% of the SME's in this country. I have suffered price rises for 20 years on packaging, on raw materials and other costs, particularly imports in the last three years. I am used to internal market fluctuations. I am used to the government finding ever more ways...

    [Politics] Brexit

    I'm sure some, who were totally committed to leaving, were prepared for this, knowing everyone else was, as well. Our nation has become considerably more self-interested and self-centred in recent years. Many on this thread haven't lived through semi permanent strikes, civil unrest, three day...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Lets be honest, it hasn't been difficult to see the direction the EU has been heading for the last 25 years and the complete failure of Cameron and his team to re-negotiate our terms, finally concentrated a lot of minds on the issue. Most people will have decided long before the referendum...

    [Albion] Anyone else heard this?

    Might have been an agreement between the two clubs beforehand, that whatever happened, it was to be reported as a 1-1 result. A training exercise. Or maybe....there were two games.....so all squad players + others could feature......one finished 1-1, the other finished 9-0.

    [Politics] Brexit

    Most people who voted Leave did so in the firm expectation that the economy would take a hit in the short term. It was clear that they were prepared to put up with this, to get the end result they wanted. It was obvious to most that it would be bloody and quite painful, after an association...

    [Albion] Anyone else heard this?

    1-1 or 9-0.....big difference.....what's your money on? ( Surely a reputable newspaper wouldn't publish a false score, would it? )

    Ah....sorry....didn't see original thread.

    [Albion] Anyone else heard this?

    ........that we played Pompey, behind closed doors and beat them 9-0. Was told this second hand, by a contact, who knows an employee at Fratton Park. As its not first hand information, just wondered if anyone else had heard anything. My contact said that the Pompey man indicated that it was...

    [Misc] Salvage Hunters on Quest TV

    I enjoy Salvage Hunters. Good balance of trade expertise and humour. Sad to see that Mr and Mrs Pritchard are no longer together as husband and wife. Heard that she now lives in London and I assume that means she looks after the ' Liberty's ' side of the business. Also read that Mr P was...
