    Turn up and play confidently, clean passes, and with sharp crosses, bag a couple goals for the win. I've not liked the mood 'round here this week. Perk up lads.

    Match Thread Charlton Athletic - Coventry City Match Thread - Thursday 1st Jan

    Truthfully it was the best game (*only game) I watched yesterday. Plus me mum made a stew and brought over. There was a raspberry cake for after, and a Christmas pudding, with a cognac for coffee. Top time with the family.

    Johnny Got His Gun

    Pfft, the thread is about sport, rather than literature? Often considered as one of the most controversial, yet compelling, anti-war novels by avowed (or reviled) black listed author Dalton Trumbo. I'd HIGHLY recommend give it a reading if you never have, and form your own opinions. I did an...

    For those that remember 1967

    Three cheers for whoever is willing to update wikipedia's general "1967" column to include a few sentences for the date promotion was secured. I just took a read thru the year as a whole and, whew, it was a busy year from a global history perspective. Coups, wars, Thurgood Marshall, Sgt...

    This makes me mad. I dealt with one drunk Ultras wannabe idiot at a local game here in US about 10 years ago who was taunting strangers by calling them child molesters. I had to step in on behalf of all. I'm not even brave or confrontational, but his behavior was beyond terrible. Horrid. And...

    Ah, devious game plan. Now up to 200+ runs behind at Tea on day 3. Plan seems to be to just let Australia bat to their content. Then the unexpected Monsoon tomorrow to wash out the draw?

    The match thread itself was entertaining. Lots of highs and lows. Then the goal boasted spirits once more. I'dda rated it a 7 earlier today. Currently it rates a 1 as it's moved on from match and football related manners, and devolved entirely
