LIV put it out to tender, but none of the broadcasters, including Sky, would touch it with a shitty stick. And rightly so.

Southgate's greatest achievement is in cultivating a squad of players who now WANT to play for England. They no longer regard it as a chore, or another chance to generally get slaughtered by the press when they turn up for International duty. There is now a positivity around the squad, and a...

My understanding, and I've not ploughed through this thread, was that we'd scouted him for quite a while and agreed a fee with Benfica, but once they finished 3rd and qualified for the CL, that shifted the narrative and we couldn't agree Terms with the player, being as (unsurprisingly) he...

What was the result the last time we played a "competitive" game with Germany then ? Asking for a friend.

I was totally against the election of Boris Johnson due to its over-reliance on a fop-haired bungle**** running the country.

Your memory is a good deal better than mine. I recall the incident (in fact its become something of a standing joke amongst our group), but I could not for the life of me tell you who that happened against. The same player going down again was always open to some dogs abuse, especially given the...

Does anyone remember INERT / INEPT-gate on here following a scathing Mark McGhee interview after another defeat, where it wasn't quite clear which adjective he'd used ? That proper split the board IIRC. I think I was in the INERT camp, but I'm not sure if we ever got to the bottom of it.

If we could only return to those little season ticket booklets of paper tickets in a REAL wallet that you would simply tear out game by game, I would go back to that aaaalll day long. This smartphone malarky is utter gubbins, its just a ballache. Being at the mercy of technology is NOT a good...

We've all done it, but a mate of mine at Withdean was BELLOWING at some lower-league no-mark after he went down and stayed down in the last few seconds just in front of the dugouts, after (whichever team it was) had taken an early lead and had spent the rest of the afternoon running the clock...

Oh, and when on holiday in Turkey, I managed to leave my wallet in a restaurant one night. Cash and cards in there, ID, the works, but I didn't realise until the next morning. What a panic. I dashed back there first thing when they were just opening, and to my intense relief, the guy who'd...

Well said. My wife managed to lose her handbag in Shoreham on a night out a few years back, and arrived home (a bit worse for wear) in tears. Her purse had a fair bit of cash in it, her phone was in her bag as well. We blocked the cards and made a few calls to it but no answer. Then I tried...

I know they've done well there, but I do find it mildly surprising that they elect to have this game at a 30k stadium, instead of having 70,000 taffs in daffodil hats thowing leeks from the stands of that magnificent stadium.

Quite simply, because England vs Wales in the World Cup is INFINITELY more interesting than England vs Ukraine. Plus I'd be looking for Wales to get dry-humped in every other game, whereas any fixture involving Ukraine is very much "meh".

Yeah I get that. I never (or very rarely) buy shoes or clothes online for much the same reason. What you order and what you end up with aren't always one and the same!

I reckon they probably offer discounts to companies bulk-buying from them, but if you're just buying one for yourself then they do seem to come at a premium. The chair I bought online turned out to be far better than any of the ones I saw at ODM, and for about half the price.

I went there last year, they have a decent selection but were ridiculously expensive, mostly £250+ for some pretty bang-average chairs. I ended up going on Amazon and taking a punt on this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L5LVH8S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 and I...

NEVER underestimate a Clever Crepe :thumbsup:

Middle Farm, just past Lewes on the A27 towards Eastbourne. Marvellous cider barn as well.

Alan Sugar has let himself go a bit.
