A few quid on a small market can shift the odds a long way. Probably also becomes self perpetuating to some degree, people see the odds shift and pile in thinking someone knows something. Personally I wouldn't risk money on it either way, but it feels unlikely to me. I wouldn't be entire...

We've got no fucking bottle going forwards. Does my head in. Five minutes to go and we're passing the ball sideways and backwards. Like last season, we're incapable of building any tempo, it's just the same slow build up... eventually get it wide, chop back, maybe cross, maybe roll it back...

I suggest you listen to Trump's verbal 'decimations' properly. It's incoherent word salad. Like Grandpa Simpson but without the humour. He doesn't dominate via intelligence or wit, he just shouts down, rants, and goes off on weird unrelated tangents. If anything the more he goes on, the more...

That's a fair comment mate, as usual. I just wish I had your faith. 😁

Good Lord. If you were any good with the ball at your feet, you'd be a fucking outfield player and earning twice the money. Focus on keeping goal and getting rid quickly, eh, and leave the football to the footballers.

Lashed in from thirty inches! 😁

This sounds like it's worth a Google....

I've spent the last few weeks thinking St. Pauli are an Italian side! D'oh. Since it seems everyone here is more clued up than me on this (a low bar, in fairness), what's the opinion of their level? (I'd just like to know so I can join in meaningfully on the "We're Doomed / We're Going Up"...

Entirely happy to be corrected, but weren't we one of the leading teams in the division for getting crosses into the box? If so, you think it would be the perfect set up for Simms, but it's just not working for him at the moment. If this is our style, would we maybe be better with a big lump...

I'm for getting him out on loan for a season, with a half decent L1 outfit, ideally. If he can't hold a place in a league one team, either because of attitude or consistency, then he needs to move elsewhere. If he can find his feet and some confidence though, I think he could still be a...

Maximum weight/size limits for supporters, mate. They'd have a box you'd have to fit into at every turnstile before you were allowed in. It would be enforced by Ryanair staff. I'd be screwed, so might a few others here. 😄

It's bent as a nine-bob note mate, the game under the RFU. I feel sorry for Worcester, unlike the arrogant fucks at Wasps, but rules are rules. If the RFU wasn't totally beholden to the franchise Premiership idea, Worcester would be working their way back through the divisions now, and Wasps...

Sorry, no, my mistake, the Les Reid saga was about the council bailing out ACL rather than Wasps directly, though obviously it was about making sure the club couldn't get its hands on the stadium. Hence indirectly supporting the council's Wasps project. Turned out well, didn't it.

That's a different story. The original story about the council bailing out Wasps in secret was Les Reid. The council were trying to do a deal in secret, and Reid publicised it. Then, apparently, the council put pressure on the CET to get rid of Reid, they sacked him, he took them to a tribunal...

Having a good few mates who are (or were) coppers, I doubt you'll find many who think that the punishments for assaulting a police officer are adequate. There were over 55,000 cases last year. I'd like to see a similar level of outrage about all of them, regardless of the offender's ethnicity...
