Yeah, with hindsight maxing out my credit card on bottles of Cristal down the casino on Saturday night probably wasn't a good move... Saying that, with this government we'll probably all be bust by the end of the month anyway. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, seems to be the official cabinet line. 😁

You might get the benefit of picking up clubs on the cheap, but given there's likely to be an enormous squeeze on discretionary spending for a large part of the UK population, getting people through the door is going to be even harder, imho...

I don't mind the beads, but I do wish they could make the transformer a bit smaller. 😄

I'd settle for slow and ponderous, we're sodding glacial! Watching us play from the back is (with no disrespect to to the game) like watching chess. More accurately perhaps, it's like watching me play chess, where after 15 minutes of concentrating intensely on the seeming disasters...

Mate, rugby is far from perfect, but I also know that plenty of football fans who have no interest in rugby, also despair at the endless shithousing that's crept into the game. Disregarding rugby completely, I genuinely can't think of another sport like football where abusing the officials...

This kind of thing, I don't get. If you don't like the sport, fair enough, but this simply isn't true. I went to a school, and definitely not a posh one, where we played football and rugby. Funnily enough a lot of the lads who were good at rugby were good at football too (and tennis and hockey...

You've had plenty of reasons given on here mate, and from a good few people, you've just chosen to ignore them. So it's pointless engaging with you on this I'm afraid, you've obviously made your mind up. You might as well just crack on and talk about something else or I'm afraid it looks a...

My advice to Putin is to avoid staring out at the view for a while, unless he's in a bungalow.

It's been a while since I built hardware, but back in those days Ballicom did good value kit & components. Based in Cov & still going fwiw... https://www.ballicom.co.uk/

I'm pretty sure he's a Tory mate. It may have been said in jest, but in reality it's what they are.

As with much of the RFU, the ground thing is a complete con and a completely arbitrary way of restricting access to the closed shop that is the top division. Rugby attendances vary hugely, as long as the ground is safe for supporters and can hold a few thousand, what does it matter? More...

What about the Rugby families Wasps left behind in London and Wycombe? I guess they didn't count for much. I've got sympathy for people who might lose their jobs, but Wasps fans from Coventry didn't care much about Wasps fans from London when they chose to support the franchise. Where was the...

The mask slips. This is the real Tory attitude, I'm all right, so fuck everyone else. Everything they pretend to stand for, decency, law and order, patriotism, fiscal responsibility, Tories don't really give a shit about any of that, it's pure hypocrisy. Money for themselves and their mates is...

He's that desperate to be seen that he'd attend the opening of an envelope.

You are seriously suggesting that HMRC agreed an arrangement to pay, and then went back on it? Interesting that, because I've worked both for HMRC (a very long time ago admittedly) and kind of against them, when I ran my own business, and I've never ever heard of them going back on an agreed...

Er, inconvenient fact I know, but once they chose to move and once they were kicked out. By Wasps. You may not remember that. Gee, I wonder why Wasps are not popular... And do you really believe Wasps had no other options to move here, because that's not quite true either. A bit like the MK...

Maybe, but let's not pretend that would concern the franchise too much, eh, other than the drop in income. The football club of course, will always be at the true heart of the city, and won't need to fake their attendance or offer thousands of free tickets to look like people care about them.

It's not different at all. You're supporting a team from London right now, just because they happen to turn up in Coventry and because they're 'elite'. Make your mind up mate, is franchising sport bad or good? I'd hate for people to think you were a complete hypocrite.

And neither will London Wasps be soon, God willing. What then for your elite sport fixation, eh.

Elsewhere. There are many, many teams to support. Tigers are doing pretty well. Saints aren't bad, Villa are in the Prem! You're flexible morally and with your support. Try one of them.
