I heard a relatively young person use this term not so long ago, but my parents used it all the time. And the "n****r in the woodpile" - still no clue where that one comes from!

Just watched the ENG-SWE 3rd place play-off, and holy shit, if those are the third and fourth best teams in the WORLD, i won't be watching for another 10 years until the women's game gets better. The quality of football was atrocious! There is no way we'd put up with that if the Sky Blues played...

Is it a bit Bristol Rovers with the quarters?

If there’s clear space between the last defender and the attacker they’re offside. If any part of the body, leg, arm, etc is still in line, they’re on. Easy!

However, the act of aiming a ball deliberately at an opponent's body or head other than in an attempt to win a point is contrary to the spirit of the game (and possibly the rules). It would certainly fall into the "unsportsmanlike conduct". How many slams Nadal has won or how much money he has...

Thanks G. But do you agree with my point about soccer being in American girls' psyche for much longer than in UK/Europe?

What we lack in England (and a lot of Europe, tbf) is a generation of women who have grown up with football as a major women's sport, as they have in the USA. Girls play "sahccer" from an early age because most other team sports are very male-dominated (I'm not aware of women's basketball...

I'm always surprised by people (actors included) who can speak in pretty much any accent the script calls for, but choose to adopt such a ghastly one for their "normal" speaking voice (Scouse in her case).

I have to say i only watched it up until our goal (as the Mrs is definitely not one of the trillion pseudo-converts), but USA looked capable of penetrating our girls at the back every time they got the ball. They are technically MUCH better - just look at the way the lovely Ms Press headed that...

While USA footballer Alex Morgan is far too obvious for this thread, i think Christen Press probably sneaks under the "not so obvious" radar. And WHAT a header!!

Having watched it, i don't think FM's given TOO much away, TBF. And it still gripped me and made me howl with laughter (at Villanelle's utter cold psychopathy) all the way through. Stick with it Otis!

What if Kirstie Allsopp was playing centre-mid for England? Then you'd be in a quandary!

Be great for SBT's recognition as a "fans' group" (they only ever mention the Trust and JHW on BBC CW, for example) if they supported this initiative rather than doing something else, but either would be good.

It was the bit about "Wasps and people related to the council were involved with Hoffman on the sly for the takeover bid", which they've been trying to deny ever since (with a little help from their usual mouthpieces).

A lot of it stemmed from Duggins making some sort of statement to the full City Council meeting about how they really haven't fucked the club over (and failed to mention any of the evidence which SISU have published previously). He made himself look a bit of a dunce in doing so.

Likewise. I understand Joy has donated, but wouldn't it be brilliant for promoting the goodwill of the club if they matched like i think they did last time?

Errr .. allegedly! ;)

75% OR GREATER, is the declaration required by Companies House, so it could be 100% for all we know. He also owns >75% of shares in ACL and Wasps Finance PLC.

They should simply adopt the TV Match Official approach of rugby, which in general works very well. They monitor the game all the way through and call in things that the ref has missed. They also award tries but can ask the TMO to confirm if there is any doubt. It's a lot fucking simpler to...
