    Lineker was gutted

    So it wasn’t Wright, it wasn’t Arsenal and it wasn’t our kit. So apart from that, was the rest of it true?

    Lineker was gutted

    Yes, it was, see earlier post (#90). It was nothing to do with Wright or Arsenal. And there was so much detail in his story (all wrong) [emoji23]

    Lineker was gutted

    This sounds totally made up, but it certainly happened with Chelsea and I think it was Leboeuf who stamped on the shirt. There’s plenty of photo evidence of them wearing the shirts, notably of Zola. If it happened with Arsenal as well I’d love to see some evidence.

    Hull game moved to Wednesday night

    No chance, they would just have been told by the EFL. There’s no way they would have agreed if they had any choice.

    No population change here [emoji23]. I know Bucks overall has a slight increase of ethnic mix due to the influence of Wycombe & Slough (by about 3% I think between the last 2 censuses). But in this area (more affluent than average I guess) I remember the 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 world cups, there...

    Leafy Bucks, the clue is in the name. About as blue wall as you could get.

    Not that you could measure in 10-15 years, no. I have lived in the same area for over 25 years and the population mix has barely changed in that time. The quantity of flags has reduced dramatically over the same period. Even the hysteria the media tried to whip up over the queen’s death and the...

    Each to their own. If people want to bury their heads in the sand that is their prerogative.

    Yep, fair enough. There seems to be less interest in overt displays of patriotism in the majority of the population (possibly because it is seen as tinged with nationalism).

    No, I think there is less interest in overt displays of nationalism among the majority of the population.

    Less an echo chamber, more an awareness and interest in what’s going on in our country and the wider world.

    Yes you’re right, it’s absolutely a trait of the right/far right in plenty of countries. It doesn’t make it any more palatable here though. I think the heyday of tournament flag flying was between about 1996 to 2010, it seems to have dropped off since then. I would have expected more during...

    Glad to be of service. Can you honestly say you can look at an England flag (or union flag) and not associate it in any way at all with the right wing using it for political purposes? If you can, I would suggest you’re living in a very blinkered world.

    To be honest I didn’t pay any attention to the women’s games but I certainly wasn’t aware of flags being flown in 2022 the way they were for Euros or World cups 10-20 years ago. In fact the flags seem to have largely disappeared for the last few mens tournaments. Anyway, putting that aside, you...

    Semi Final Dates

    I doubt the club thinks there is a need to sell a 5 match package, tickets are already selling well. Why over-complicate things?
