    Club World Cup Final - Man City v Fluminense

    Decent game so far. City scored within a minute but Fluminense's commitment to playing out from the back and ability to do it is incredible. Another positive for VAR with semi-automated offside tech. Potential offside before a penalty decision, very tight, took all of 10 seconds to check and...

    Nuneaton Borough v AFC Fylde - CBS Arena, Sat 9th Dec

    Not seen this anywhere on here but we're letting Nuneaton play their FA Trophy game at the CBS while they're locked out of Liberty Way. We're letting them play for free as well so I assume that means they get the gate receipts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67580899

    Definitely Maybe 30th Anniversary Tour

    Just Liam by himself next June, playing the album in full. Interesting that Noel's letting him do it, wonder if he's just taking a big cut in a royalties type deal.

    WSL 23/24

    Could be set for another decent title fight but Chelsea still the team to beat. I reckon Arsenal will be closest to them having signed Russo, Ilestedt and Cooney-Cross and with Williamson, Mead and Miedema all returning from ACLs. Depends how well those 3 come back. A lot of top level signings...

    Champions League 23/24

    Only just seen that the Milan v Newcastle game is a 17:45 kick off tonight for some reason, just stuck it on. Fits in nicely with our game later. I imagine Milan will be on it after losing the derby 5-1 at the weekend, should be a good game.

    Rugby World Cup 2023

    Starts tonight, France v NZ is a brilliant opening game. I'm doing a long weekend in Lille next month for England v Samoa and Tonga v Romania. Looking forward to it but a lot less excited than I was, just don't see us suddenly finding some form. We'll get out the group but probably bow out in...

    23/24 Fixtures

    Happy fixture list eve! Who do we all want when then? Always a few holidays getting in the way for people at this time of year. I want us to be away 2nd game because I'm busy 12th August and really don't want to miss the first home game. Other than that Plymouth on a Saturday and home on Boxing...

    Messi to Inter Miami

    Personally I'm gutted they sacked Phil Neville and denied us the chance to see him trying to manage Messi, although maybe that was at Messi's request. Kudos for turning down £350m/year to play in Saudi but it sounds like his pockets will be well lined with the input of Apple (share of the MLS...

    Championship Statistics

    Thought a thread might be useful, found this end of season collection and I know some of you will have found other ones. Vik and Gus appear a lot unsurprisingly.

    Richard Shaw Testimonial

    This popped up today, remember it being a great night with Celtic bringing 6k I think, definitely gave him the send off he deserved. Also remember a streaker appearing in the second half then disappearing into the north stand, turned out it was someone my Dad knew. Coventry: Fulop (Ince 45)...

    Six Nations 2023

    Only a few days away now. I'll be there on Saturday for the Scotland game, hopefully a good start for Borthwick but who knows. Also doing France v Scotland and Italy v Wales to mix it up a bit and give myself a couple of mini holidays.

    Asteroid Launcher

    Bit of (admittedly morbid) fun/stress relief to combat the post-Christmas/New Year blues. Choose your location, asteroid diameter, speed etc and wreak havoc. I've found it quite cathartic taking out work locations https://neal.fun/asteroid-launcher/

Two days after winning the Scottish Championship and talking about it on TV Monday night then didn't wake up yesterday. A very strange and sad bit of news Edit: seems it was a heart...
