Thank god we have an early KO again next Saturday!

Absolutely frightening pace and solid feet.

Not the game (so far) many of us would probably have predicted. France playing like there's a final up for grabs. something I have noticed in this competition - An inordinate amount of forward passing.

Yeah a touch of ‘hot coral syndrome’ re the choice of playing strip last night.

I see no reason why we should not be continuing to stake our claim as early season draw specialists. 0-0

What is it about Canada and rugby? I know they and USA have long been there in previous WC tournaments - Both Men's and Women's but I also recall a few years ago a Canadian men's team competing at either C'ship or Lg 1 level over here. Clearly had a rich backer but that commitment to compete at...

Nope - Hands up, I genuinely thought England Women had never been crowned champions before.

Should we maybe employ this scenario as a tactic then?

I think I can add a little more context to what makes a rivalry. Whilst both Villa and Leicester can (justifiably so) allude to achievement and certainly playing level as a claim that we are not a rival (Hello Villa, where were you from 1967 -1975?) the rubbing of shoulders with supporters of...

Wouldn't have had a clue who this chap was until the last pic. Your contribution to that game was amazing, my man! *'It's', surely? Not 'Is'.

Slavering point farmers will be all over this like a Roman orgy if there's half a point on offer. Anyway, must win.

I know there is a niche appreciation of the sport of rugby on SBT and as we are at the semi final stages of the competition it seems a little late to start a thread on it. but..... What an absolutely fantastic performance in turning over NZ by Canada this evening. I've struggled to embrace...

Nobody likes a franchise.

'West End Boot Girls' used to be a 'thing' in the '70's. Don't know how effective they were on a match day though. Probably little more than cheer leaders.

Ah, DO’D I think you might be getting mixed up with the first ‘World Cup’ - West Auckland being invited instead of Woolwich Arsenal.

Just not the fucking colour. Sorry - I hate this shirt. Fake or pucker.

Well they certainly never 'qualified' under normal circumstances!

So, after my boy being denied the opportunity of his first away game (Millwall in the cup) by the unscrupulous actions of the kitten drowning, old aged pensioner door step conning activities of the point farming community who lurk in the shadows of our otherwise magnificent support, I ear mark...

Inter City fairs was an invitational competition (no qualification needed) but B'ham were permitted where Villa would not have been - Similarly Liverpool would have been and Everton not. Hence why no London club were allowed unless they made a name change to include the name of the...

There was a clutch of English/British teams/clubs in two European competitions in 1955 - But only one clear British winner as a club. Well, I say 'clear' I think it was by a matter of weeks if not days.
