As an aside, there was an interesting stat in the Sunday Times this week of players with the highest drawing % in Premier League history. And BHA have FOUR out of the top 10 (1st, 7th, 9th, 10th). Some feat that, considering we're only in our 5th season. Shall I share with the class, or would...

This. Given that the average game apparently only has the ball in play for something like 60 of the 90, its unbelievable the game STILL hasn't got round to simply having a stop/start clock on display, operated by someone on the sidelines, that stops each and every time the ball goes dead, and...

Once again, you're directly applying aspects of careers involving war and conflict, to what is an entertainment industry. They are not the same, neither can they be considered as such. If women were introduced into mens football, then the quality of the product would inevitably suffer because...

Indeed. She could easily. If one of the BHA women scored 37 goals in a season, which would be outstanding, would that then officially usurp Peter Ward's record season ? ??? How about one of the women accumulating 112 goals, to knock Glenn Murray down into 3rd place. Historical records sent...

TalkSport radio too. Who on earth suddenly decided that the stats from the mens and womens sides of International football in this country needed to be combined ? Do they do it in any other country ? In any other sport ? It doesn't happen in counting up the majors in golf or tennis. So why mix...

Why are they saying Ellen White has now moved above Bobby Charlton and Harry Kane in the all-time England scoring records ? She got her 50th tonight in another 10-0 win (woohoo!), but are we seriously mixing up the men and womens scoring records at International level now ? England have a goal...

Prices go up like a rocket, down like a feather. 'Twas always the case.

Indeed. CF is comparing apples with oranges when saying because a woman can fight for her country / become a firefighter / police officer she should also be allowed to take part in male contact sports. Its a nonsense argument conflating war/conflict with sport. Commentators and the media often...

You are obsessively conflating careers in the armed forces and front-line public services, with sport. Sport is not armed conflict - it's just an entertainment industry, ie not life-or-death. If a woman wishes to sign up for the armed forces and passes all the female-orientated assessments...

This. Only a complete moron would seriously advocate women competing directly against men in a contact sport. Imagine Nikita Parris (5'4, 54kg) getting wiped out by Kurt Zouma (6'3, 95kg) in a game. That wouldn't be a foul - it would be a massacre. They'd need three stretchers just to collect...

You are Kevin Bacon, and I claim my £5.

EDFvh2rnlNY Knocks it out of the park with this one.

X6etg_fX1Pw Superb!

kh5yOZRUwgw Anyone ever come across this guy ? His movie scene re-enactments are so ridiculously good. This is just one, but you can go down a YouTube wormhole. His Jurassic Park Goldblum is incredible. And his Heath Ledger Joker, bloody hell. Supreme talent.

Good shout, I'll look into that :thumbsup: I don't mind a novel, but biographies are my thing. I'm loving browsing the fasands that are out there, and so many that are free to download to the Kindle for Amazon subscribers, or maybe for a couple of quid. I also like the fact I can read it in...

I wasn't convinced I'd like a Kindle as I'm an old-school fart who likes the feel of a paperback. And I still do. But I treated myself to one when I got a generous Amazon gift voucher from work, and I LOVE it. Most of the stuff I like is cheap as chips to download onto it, and I've ploughed...

Resigned from his role as club ambassador at Southampton after re-tweeting a conspiracy theory that the deaths in Bucha were faked, saying "this" https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/06/matt-le-tissier-quits-southampton-role-after-backlash-over-ukraine-tweet Great player. But a highly...

DCL looked well off the pace. Probably tripped over his little Gucci handbag in the dressing room.

Prescient. I've been desperate to get away, not been abroad since 2018 now. But the whole covid shambles with traffic lights and covid corridors and all that bollocks, which have changed by the day at short notice, has put me right off. Seeing all the poor sods being left high and dry at...

Ahh, Graeme Smith. Or "The Hologram", as we used to refer to him. I've never seen a keeper so often seemingly in the right place to stop a shot, only for is to somehow go straight through him.
