I debated buying tickets to one of those QFs because you're pretty much guaranteed any of those teams v each other. It'll be amazing but my finances just couldn't stretch that far. It's funny because there's resale tickets going for the other QFs, nothing for those.

Starts tonight, France v NZ is a brilliant opening game. I'm doing a long weekend in Lille next month for England v Samoa and Tonga v Romania. Looking forward to it but a lot less excited than I was, just don't see us suddenly finding some form. We'll get out the group but probably bow out in...

Just buy a ticket for the points but don't actually go. That's what all the 1400+ elite do isn't it?

I visited a friend in Dubai and it was the same. Compounds for all the Western residents, house fully stocked with alcohol, bars/clubs etc. Just don't stagger down the street pissed and you're fine. My taxi got stopped at the compound gates once and I was waved through without question. Turns...

May derail the thread a little but have just seen this and thought it was interesting

You can add that shitshow to the thread as it goes. Off to Lille in a month watch England v Samoa, a lot less excited than when I bought the tickets a year ago. Doesn't help that one of the guys I'm going with is a Scotland fan.

Don't make 'em like they used to On the day of the games, [Mark] Hughes played for Wales in a 2-0 defeat to Czechoslovakia. Then, rushed out of the changing room to a car with its engine revving. After slaloming through the Czech countryside to the airport, Hughes boarded a private jet...

I said something similar to my mates. Although it might be a hollow gesture, giving a chunk of his Saudi salary to LGBTQ+ charities might at least make it look like he still cared and be a gesture nonetheless.

Bairstow's on one, 43 from 20 so far

New TV show where Howard Webb explains on-field and VAR decisions starts this week after it was trialled at the end of last season. Fundamentally a good idea, more transparency etc. I wonder if they'll go that deep into shit decisions like the Onana tackle v Wolves as well. Wednesday 8pm on...

I was going to that but can't make it anymore. Was meant to be in Cov for a mate's BBQ but it's been cancelled so I'll stay local and take in some North West Counties Premier Division instead.

"Firstly, I’m not a politician..." Supported a cause but seemingly abandoned it for a new career opportunity and large amounts of money? Sounds a lot like a politician to me.

International breaks, no City for 2 weeks is shit. Good chance to watch some non-league though.

My plan was to bring Romero and Bowen in, and bring Archer off my bench in place of Watkins. Managed to let my brother talk me out of it and bring in 2 players who got me a combined 3 points and leave Archer where he was. Absolutely fuming. I blame myself tbh, I outscore him every season so no...

He would disagree

Absolutely topsy turvy game. Was in hospitality (Legends Lounge) for my birthday and it was brilliant. Would obviously have loved a win but that game was something else. We were right behind the own goal which was funny enough but the highlight was my 64-year old mother flicking the v's to the...

Just a poor boy from a poor family?

Kalvin Phillips still an auto-pick as well having played *checks notes* no football since May.

Doesn't take away the shot of adrenaline you get when finding money on the floor. Ordered something on Argos for £5, went in to collect it and found a fiver on my way out. Winner. Will add it to the other notes that have been untouched in my wallet for well over a year now.

On a similar note, if you forget your ST and ask for a replacement at the ticket office they also give you +10 points automatically but don't take them back. Left my wallet in Manchester over New Year and got extra points for Bristol and Cardiff last season.
