    Yeah. Once he ate the first Freddo he had to have another.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Trouble they have with it is that bowling teams get punished and batting teams are just as responsible. Players wander down the pitch to chat between balls and flatten the pitch, scratch their marks in, complain about screens/movement in the crowd, ask for new gloves/bats, pull away during the...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Quite possibly. For some reason I thought he ran down his contract and we got a fee due to his age but as we didn't develop him why would we?

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Pretty sure we made a hefty profit on Fox. Over a million at least. Think they also ended up funding some of the earlier transfers like Borrowdale, Best and Simpson, who we all made a profit on. Gunnarson as well we made some profit on. But yeah some of the big signings like Eastwood, Westwood...

    What about Jarni, only for him to leave days later?

    Death List 2021

    I don't watch them anymore, but as a kid Neighbours and Home and Away were the staple afterschool viewing. He was 45, so not exactly a youngster but still pretty young in the grand scheme of things. Sadly sounds like another who suffered with mental health issues.

    To be fair SISU bought some decent players in when they took over. Problem was they sold them almost immediately for the quick profit when they failed to get us promotion.

    So was I. But then I shouldn't have gone out the night before.

    Yet he somehow played in the PL.

    Don't know, but I do seem to remember they did seem to relax the restrictions allowing clubs to look further afield. Obviously they'd argue all clubs could do the same but it clearly worked favourably for bigger clubs. If you're from, say, Oxford and a London club with a big name like Chelsea...

    But that just shows why it shouldn't be allowed and caps on the squad numbers regardless of age are needed. It reduces competition and allows big clubs to make huge sums off players they know will never play for them. Standard of football would increase massively if these players were contracted...

    Hate the Olympics thread!

    Yep, I get that. I tend to watch the diving at the Olympics and I don't get the judging on that. Two pretty much identical dives and one scores way more than another, with the one with the better entry scoring worse. Almost seems like they pre-judge based upon the name.

    Dieter Brummer from Home and Away. Had one of those memorable Aussie Soap scenes like Scott and Charlene's Wedding and Bouncer's Dream when Angel died on the beach.

    Hate the Olympics thread!

    Trouble is it goes against the Olympic ideal. It was never supposed to be for professionals. Used to have loads more than sports in the Olympics but they got taken out because the people doing them were professionals. Stuff like architecture, painting, sculpture, literature, poetry. As...

    Coventry City Transfer Disappointments

    Yeah. Always felt we never used him as much as we should and brought in other players without giving him a fair go first.

    Coventry City Transfer Disappointments

    Dublin the most. Most memorable because he was such a massive player for us and to join our local rivals and to find out minutes before a match which we went onto lose. Boateng following him to Villa was a blow. Babb was disappointing too. Davenport memorable because the way he left the pitch...
