    UEFA EURO 2024

    Maybe it is the old scenario of only needing to be good enough to beat what is in front of you. I thought they looked really impressive against Croatia, and based on that they would be my favourites for the title, but last night not so much. Portugal, as mentioned by others, haven't had a great...

    And after they were talking about engineering the run rate in their game against Scotland so that we went out!!

    Cricket 2024

    The Aussie defeat to India and Afghanistan beating Bangladesh means Australia are OUT! For me that's up there with the Jocks going home from the Euros with 1 point! Hahhahahahhahahahh! F*CK OFF! Semis are ENGvIND and RSAvAFG. India v SA final then?

    UEFA EURO 2024

    But scraping a 1-0 against Albania, ranked even lower than Scotland, is not a test of quality.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    I've really not seen Gallagher play before, but when he has come on these two games, he has been shite. Is this the best we have in "the most exciting league in the world"?

    UEFA EURO 2024

    He's not entitled to shield the ball from the defender by putting his arm across his chest and pushing him backwards. The first offence was obstruction. Indirect free kick to Hungary. Would have been easier to score, though admittedly not as clear-cut a chance as that clown Petkovic for Croatia...

    Death List 2024

    I think he would have justified at least a place on the bench, even if he was still in a hospital bed! Absolute shambles! Scottish Football - RIP

    Slightly off-topic, but Rob Page has been sacked as Wales manager. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c877mp1852po

    My response to that is "Good"! We don't need another Phillips!

    Perennial chokers

    Kind of agree, but they never really get themselves into a position where they can win anything. Perhaps perennial underachievers would be a better moniker for them?

    Perennial chokers

    Given the utterly hopeless end to Rory McIlroy's final round in the US Open this weekend (three bogeys in the final 4 holes, including 2 putts that i could have holed), who would you say is his competition for worst perennial choker in sport? Any other suggestions? Include the provider of the...

    The hottest *insert month* on record checker.

    I'm not sure they will be that happy. The higher prices will do little to off-set the wasted expenditure for poor yield. On Clarkson's Farm, they are breaking down what everything costs, and their fertiliser cost alone is £78,000 this year!!

    The hottest *insert month* on record checker.

    24th June is regarded as Midsummer's Night (and the end of the English asparagus season). Solstice is 20th June this year and 21st June the longest day.

    The hottest *insert month* on record checker.

    Our fruit and veg just isn't growing as it normally does because there is so little sun and warmth. Prepare yourselves for food shortages and inflation this winter.

    Things that annoy you

    The whole country is, Torch! The highway authority (generally the county council or unitary authority) apparently have a statutory duty to authorise enabling works for building developments which have been granted permission (and it usually means water, then gas, then electricity, then drainage...

    Championship 2nd highest support in europe

    Germany's 2.Bundesliga had 8.9m total, but it's only 20 teams, so their average was 29K (so better than the Champ, which EFL don't mention). Heavily skewed by Schalke, Hamburg and Hertha Berlin, who all average over 50K (Schalke get 61K every week).

    Championship 2nd highest support in europe

    It is a very well-attended league. Compare it to the French Ligue 2, which had a total of just 3.24 million this season, albeit with 20 teams. But average gate was 8,535. Pathétique!
