Is it just me but when I ask somebody will you be watching the World Cup and they say no, are you shocked like me ? Yesterday and today I've had a few say " I hate football, and won't watch any of the games. " To me football is the best sport on the planet, in fact its a huge part of my life...

How about having panels of football fans ? No ex players just proper fans who have watched games there etc, bet it will be interesting/lively. Make a change at least.

This is a new thread. As its more common than you think. My sister said to me last year that she'd seen me in Leicester, as that's where she lives. I said no it wasn't me, I only go there to visit her occasionally, and hadn't been for months. She kept on saying I was walking down a street near...

This is strange. As only yesterday I was waiting outside a shop in Bell Green as a chap on twitter noticed a tweet of mine asking if they still sold those half and half shirts, half Cov City,half England ? He had one and said I can have it, so I said I'd meet him in Bell Green to pick it up. As...

My son has a charity boxing match at the end of the month, so if I hear a woman shouting " go on son knock his head off " I'll know who it is !

My ex missus used to get excited watching games, and loved the boxing too. I used to go to the pub for a more peaceful night !

They look bored so it must have been the game you're on about. Wish England were playing today or tomorrow, best days for watching and drinking !

I've been down Holbrooks today. I looked in the Hollybush an hour ago, 2 blokes sat watching a game on the TV. Bit early I guess but hopefully pubs will be more lively soon !

Used to love The Rocket pub for England games.

Where's best to watch games in the World Cup ? I mix it up and go to the pub for England games, but other matches like to watch on the telly. But then again it can depend on times of matches, and what days they're on. But can you beat a lively boozer, for atmosphere ?

Russia got off to a good start with a 5-0 win. So a month of football begins, but that means a month of listening to the panels of "experts" on TV channels and on the radio. I reckon by one week we'll be fed up with one or two of them. Who are favourites on here, and who gets on your nerves ...

Good excuse then to not go !

I heard he got loads of stick. But I heard I got respect for trying to calm it down, and by going outside first. I've seen him since and he is polite/friendly,in contrast to him giving it the big man, he went from Rocky to Bambi !

Think you're right Nick. But sadly you can never really shake off the past. Only two years ago a bloke in a pub who was drunk, said to me that I'd hit him, and he hasn't forgotten it. I said when was that then ? In the pub in 1976 ! We were both in our twenties back then. Anyway because he had...

Been listening to the best of Lenny Kravitz. Some cracking tracks: Are You Gonna Go My Way. Fly Away. American Woman. And many more, I had American Woman by a band called Guess Who in the 70's, a great song.

I know now walking away/avoiding fights takes courage, but back then I wouldn't. But then you get a reputation, so its a never ending circle of aggro. I not only ended up inside 3 times,but hospital twice by getting jumped on by blokes after revenge or just drunk and wanting trouble. What a...

Fair play to you. I wish I'd have learnt my lesson as quick as that. Spent 4 years of my life banged up. What a waste !

I've seen UFO they were out of this world, oops.

The band Foo Fighters are named after small circular balls of light seen by pilots of planes during World War 2 in the sky. They passed through the planes, and moved at speed and came and went at intervals. But they still are unsure what they were, but pilots saw them and all remained convinced...

On Planet Rock they played a couple of tracks by Boz Scaggs. Hadn't heard of him for years, he had a hit with Lido Shuffle. Never knew he was in the Steve Miller Band, he's still touring at 74 years of age. They said Mick Jagger ain't the only one who's still rockin !
