    International break including WC playoffs

    It's also still the case that having appeared for the U21's will get you a leg up to the first team more than being a good player who's worked their way up.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's very brave, and I hope he gets support. I imagine there will be quite a few in the corridors of power who will be unsympathetic though. Not sure how I feel about his fleeing the scene of his car crash, and I wonder if his experience will be used in looking at that law. No-one was hurt and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The world has changed, but is anyone really sure of where it's gone, or is heading? It's become increasingly polarised but it seems to surge from extreme to the other depending on where you are. Despite some of the issues you mention, like environmental concerns, in many ways it feels like it's...

    The 'quality' of Womens Football

    I think you're pulling the wool over our eyes. If you want more competition cross the Severn Bridge - they have loads of courses in wales.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's not a non-story though. It's a cabinet openly ignoring the rules they put in place. One's that were put in for public health reasons, which makes it doubly despicable. If it's a non-story why were ordinary members of the public charged for incidents similar (and in many cases less serious)...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    While there is a point about Starmer being a bit duplicitous in this it can pretty much be linked to politics (and as he's a politician that's to be expected). I've congratulated people on stuff like promotions etc. but felt that they didn't deserve it or had the right skills/temperament for it...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Like everyone else I've no idea what will happen but if I was a betting man I'd put my money on this being a strategic withdrawal to regroup and resupply with another offensive occurring in the coming months.

    You're not the only one! I swore I remember seeing on the news that he'd died before the pandemic. It was showing part of the video for Jealous Guy.

    Summer football

    If it was in winter season tickets could be given as Christmas presents.

    All purpose cricket thread

    I always find statements like that odd when they then show something like 3% of the balls were hitting the wicket. Of course a bit of movement to get an edge is fine but most are going well over the top of the stumps as well and should be an easy leave for a batsman. I sometimes wonder if it's...

    All purpose cricket thread

    It would be ideal to have a wicketkeeper as captain, as fielding is the main part of their game. Always a bit of pressure on them to be a decent batsman to justify their place so if they had the leadership angle that'd make that a bit less imperative. Also helps with reviews as they're often in...

    Fulham game moved to sunday 10 April

    Or they were on their phone in the queue trying. One person, both bases covered.

    Coventry Station

    That's because it is. 1962 and Grade II listed. Festival of Britain. Modernist with a lot of glass, hence why it looks quite bland, blocky and utilitarian. Basically they just updated around the existing structure.

    International break including WC playoffs

    It's one where I feel that it affected play and so should be penalised but not by a penalty. If they were given as indirect free kicks I'd be fine with things like that being given.

    International break including WC playoffs

    Fair enough. I take the latter. Think how special that one month would be though having not qualified for a while and then winning the tournament. Be greater than ultimately being let down every couple of years.

    It is irrelevant. They're entitled to do it and are not breaking any laws. Says a lot about the type of person they are though. Not that it relates to Rishi because we've no idea if he is or isn't claiming for it (though it would have to be under PR expenses (which IMO is a bullshit (sorry)...

    Summer football

    Of course not. Though I know of plenty of people without kids who still go in the summer because it's kind of ingrained that that's when we go on holiday. There could be an argument made for changing the school year to a big winter break rather than summer, as a lot of it is based on redundant...

    Summer football

    But that could keep us going through the winter months. Twitter feed revealing new signings like Christmas presents. New year - new squad as transfer window opens. I admit I am biased because I hate the cold with a passion and don't find winter games much fun. With short days if feels like the...

    International break including WC playoffs

    I would. For winning them. And I bet you would too. I bet the worst part of that month was when we lost the final. Imagine if it'd had culminated in actually winning the trophy instead. Why was it an incredible month? Would it have been so incredible had we limped out in the group stage? Why...

    International break including WC playoffs

    So what if we'd be screaming for the managers head and demanding changes? Maybe it's what would be needed. If you qualify for every tournament and then do nothing you just end up doing the same thing again and again and excusing the lack of trophies because at least we qualified. I don't know...
