Not a great frequenter of pubs nowadays anyway so whilst all forms of entertainment are banned and especially whilst we can't go to football I'm in no rush.

I may venture out for a meal once the novelty has worn off in a few weeks time.

I think Chris Wilder's admiration is genuine enough and comment at the end realistic in context.

In 1918 there would be no social distancing, no hand sanitisers in public places, no lockdowns.... I could go on, but iam sure you get the idea. Too right Grumps, the world was completely different. Back then there was something wrong if you didn't have a fag sticking out of your mouth, including i...

Cheers TY, coming off my worst ever period for selecting horses (ITV 7 so not losing money thankfully) I need a bit more fun.

I haven't done many of these this season but it would be an injustice not to bother honouring that performance.

Just reading through this thread it appears that someone decided to tweak e harmony and ebay with a bit of HR predictive analytics and come up with a list of footballers.

I wonder if anyone actually goes out to scout a player nowadays?

Not much was made of the BFC Wag party during Royal Ascot. This is also a bit of a non story despite it breaking lockdown rules. There have been far worse transgressions over the past few weeks in the world of 'celebrity sports people' who should know better. There have been worse gatherings in Burn...

First picture confirms what I always thought, 'I'll bend them at the wrist' Michael Keane's arms are too long for his body

JohnMac

I still don't get the Newcastle fans loathing for Mike Ashley.

He has ploughed millions into a Club that are often dead on their feet and runs it like a business. The only thing he isn't guilty of is stupidity with his money.

JohnMac

I remember reading Barnsley's owner's worth is 200 times that of Mike Garlick.

Just going to check on how they are doing. Yep, thought so..

I'd go to Padiham Leisure, have a swim and sit in the Steam and Sauna rooms and pretend I'm abroad.

If only it was open but let's prioritise fatness over fitness

Just a thought looking at the other posts, are BLM now controlling the agenda to the point that it is wrong to say Zulu?

You just know someone will turn the thread into a political farce so I'm relying on the Zebu

Mine starts with Z and ends with U.

It's a timeless classic but will probably be off the annual list now.

Dawson would get more than a few goals from our corner routines and be a great swap for Gibson.

Andre Gray wouldn't come back here, he will stay on the Southern circuit. Brentford maybe if they come up and Watford go down.

JohnMac

Allison having van Dyke organising things isn't the worst thing in the World plus Liverpool have so much of the ball I think Pope's achievements are far greater in the grand scheme of things.

Allison will probably end up with more clean sheets though if he plays out the season

JohnMac

I think there is too much assumption that we are alone in the financial dip caused by Covid. Every club has suffered and I don't see evidence to support every owner aside from ours pushing money forward to cover losses. I would venture to suggest most will be very cautious as the future is still ver...

Red shirts out and about today whilst on my walk. Most of them as close to Anfield as they've ever been in the flesh, the towpath as far as Hapton :twisted: Liverpool have been better than good this season and arguably far more exciting than the dominant teams of the 70's & 80's. I still can't beliv...

Massively missing the pre and after match drinks, socialising etc for the home games and missing the day out for away games.

I've grown into the podcasts whilst out walking, it's a format that works with Tom Fordyce and Chris Stark bouncing stuff around and making the routine stuff entertaining. The reason Crouchy has fallen on his feet is his height, his wife, the longevity he had meaning plenty of top clubs and managers...

Mate, you are crap at football but I can still make you a millionaire by becoming my agent.

Hendrick served us well doing the dirty work and never really getting a settled position. He isn't a Defour which some hoped he was but he had good energy and scored some vital goals. I would say he is definitely a victim of circumstances being one of those players whose value was inflated at the st...

His finish last night was never in doubt, once in a generation striker.

Maybe the Covid situation will force the club into proactively seeking more investment. I know the party line has always been along the lines of 'We are open to enquiries about investment' but maybe it is time to start dialling around. We have been hit with a curveball that nobody could have forecas...

A lot of reaction to the contract situations but the sad fact is we got tubbed again by a rampant Man City and having Hart, Bardsley, Hendrick or Lennon on the pitch or the bench wouldn't have changed anything. Having Wood, Barnes, Brady and JBG fit may have lessened the impact but who knows? If the...

Thanks Mr T, unhappily, not mine. It belongs to a friend who owns the local chip shop.

It’s a nice car, very loud, and fast, no use to a bloke with ten kids, seven under the age of sixteen.

It is my driveway though.

Is it me but the crowd sound sounds better in the championship

It’s being put threw the PA system I think.

Sounds more realistic

It's from a studio but it is somehow different. Maybe because the Welsh are good singers

JohnMac

Strangely enough, after watching the restart games so far, I'm not overly bothered. Watching games on TV is pretty mind numbing unless you are one of those shirt wearing types that never goes to a game. Sort out Covid, allow the fans back and start again only when that is possible. That of course wo...

Cheers Tony
A terrible week but interest maintained throughout in the hope finding a pearl. Well done Darnhill, a thoroughly deserved win.

Pace was his asset but his crossing was definitely his downfall, his best days were at Spurs and on his game was brilliant.

My sporting prowess has nose dived dramatically.

Champion Napper at Epsom last year, rock bottom today

Plate Champion at Spot the Ball a few short weeks ago, nursing a run of 4 consecutive defeats today

If this was to spark the banning of the utterly offensive, overtly sexist, violence encouraging and most definitely racist RAP music then it's not a bad trade off.
