I have no idea. And I have no interest in finding out. I've always quite liked the look of Aussie Rules. If I had the first idea of what the hell was going on, I reckon I could get quite into it. From what I can make out, you've got about 40 hairy-arsed blokes all in shorts 3 sizes too small...

I'll miss it a bit. Walking past at 9am and seeing all the tattood, twitching, snaggle-toothed professional drinking wretches already tucking into their second pint of Fosters waiting for Ladbrokes to open felt very....British. Its a part of our culture.

Well I fundamentally disagree with your viewpoint that this kind of thing going on is only to be expected, and is perfectly ok. If you feel that is harsh, then so be it. Its a first world problem I suppose. But I just don't like unfairness. I'm not going to apologise for that,

I think we all know none of the families in Russia who have lost sons to the conscription would ever be gullible / stupid enough to buy the scenario you outline. I'm talking about the reaction. Will the deaths of their sons be just meekly accepted ? Or when it starts happening, will there be a...

Eh ? Where did I say that ? If you have legitimately earned your loyalty points, buy a ticket and go to the game, then of course you're not a harvester. If you use your loyalty points to get hold of tickets, with no intention of going to the game, but instead sell it on, then you are a...

Well, we are talking about a competition here where the team that finishes top of the League still has to enter into the Playoffs against the 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams, and win a SF and a Final, before actually being declared Champions. So they might as well f*ck it all up at the other end of the...

Well whether they bring them back or not, when forced conscripted civilians who have been literally thrown into this mess end up as corpses alongside the military casualties waging this war, I would expect the domestic reaction in Russia to be visceral. Putin could end up with what amounts to a...

This 'mobilisation' is just horrific. I cannot imagine the terror of being uprooted from your home, your family, your job, your life - to be thrown into the front line of the human meat-grinder in Ukraine, with minimal training, to fight for that piece of filth Putin in an illegal war against...

Thandie Newton is 50. Hardly sets things up for a credible ongoing franchise (and yes I know Roger was playing Bond into his early 80s, but things have moved on since then). Anyway, Bond needs to be a bloke IMO. Call me a stegasaurus, but a female Bond is too much of a departure from what the...

This is a really good read. Far more interesting than most footballers autobiographies.

Yes, I'm sure the striking railway workers will happily cross the picket line in order to lay on some trains for fans going to and from a PL game. After all, as you say, they HAVE paid for their tickets already. Surely the club have thought of this.

I think Chris Hemsworth would be a good fit. He did a terrific James Hunt in Rush (and no, that wasn't a euphemism). Nailed the posh Brit accent. He gets my doris leaking like a busted fridge.

Looking at their messageboard, many of them are utterly embarrassed by this and just want the Pozzo's out now. Can't say I blame them.

Its already told. He doesn't.

If you're in a lower tier then you don't always get the chance to "buy the tickets quicker", because they've already been snaffled up by the people in the higher tiers harvesting MORE "loyalty points" whilst not even going to the games. I've missed out on tickets because I'm not in one of the...

The "harm" is that people with sufficient loyalty points are buying away tickets to pass on to their mates, who don't have the points. The buyer then gets the bonus of boosting their own loyalty points, the mate gets to go to a game he shouldn't be able to, whilst others who might've had a...

Allardyce. He has a 100% win record.

No they won't. There will ALWAYS be someone who will take the job in the knowledge they'll be walking away in a few months time, having trousered a few hundred grand in the process from these goons.

And within a MINUTE of waking up, you are posting on NSC ? Crikey. I mean I know my post count is ridiculous, but I can't recall coming on here to start a thread before I've even got up and pinched a loaf.

Edited for accuracy.
