Right. Am I the only one that was watching it on such a small screen to think it was women's football straight away? The world cup is about to start after all. Pi have an early start Friday. They'll get hammered by ch as they really aren't very good, but hopefully they'll do their country proud at i...

Their first two albums were crap. Albums four and five being their only decent output. I'm siding with clovius b on this one, unless by the fourth one you mean the live at red rocks album. And I'm not sure the bono is to blame entirely. The guitar work changed for "war" - which was sort of innovati...

Lostprophets That probably isn't about the music, though. Agree with the description of Queen. Most of the tracks are pretty shallow, OK until you've heard them a few times, but that's about it. Same (but worse) with meatloaf. Saw both live (to see other bands on with them) and that did nothing to ...

Can't think of one. I might like people/bands that I was ambivalent about, but rarely can get from "detest" to "love". I suppose it is possible that a band have released a load of good stuff, but I've only known rubbish. The other way round seems likely - a group you liked for a while and then reali...

Number of players sold by Blackburn for £50,000 = 0
Number of players sold by Blackburn for half that amount this year = 0

Number of prime ministers last season = 3

So yes, statistics agree that we are more likely to elect any Blackburn player to pm.

Let's look forward to dackonomics.

Lookin forward to Plymouth v West Bromwich.

Maybe, but that other monstrosity was worse. A big black turd on the landscape. Makes Anfield look nice.

And yes, I quite like poundbury. I have a cousin that lives close to the centre of town there.

Superb series so far. Not going this year, but was at Old Trafford last time round. Was planning on going again next time round. But just found out 2027 Ashes will completely bypass the North. Shocking Probably more shocking if you live on the isle of wight. Is that now part of France or can we cla...

This is how I would set us up for the next test:

Crawley
Duckett
Hain
Root
Brook
Stokes
Foakes
Woakes
Wood
Broad
Anderson

It gives us our best bowling line up whilst also strengthening the batting line up.

I always preferred vokes at 9 to wood.

Another great Test match at Headingley. Absolute joke that both Headingley and OT miss out next time. Two tests in London and one in Southampton out of 5 is poor. Should move the one from lords as a penalty for the entitled ones behaving badly last test. Given that England have a poor record at the...

That kit (not the gk one Trafford is wearing) looks cheap and nasty. Ugh.

Out of touch with reality.

Interesting, always thought the same about the Bristol teams. There must be a few of the bigger English towns that for various reasons have never had any decent football teams, like Guildford or Bedford That's basically because they are posh places, and historically, football was for oiks.

All these test matches are essentially friendlies as there is no real test league. I'd rather just say thank you, but no. We'd rather play friendlies against someone else that is a bit more sporting in 2025. They've had the benefit of the doubt after the sandpaper incident, but are basically same ol...

They are numbered but order is random. 1. A "trifle" made with rhubarb and chocolate cake in lime jelly with chocolate vla. 2. Chocoladekoek with straticella vla. 3.

Just to add a further problem with our shirt sponsor, we will also end up with the number 88 on the front of our shirts, which might become banned from tv in some countries anyway due to its connections with anti-semitism. Italy looks like it will ban the number on shirts already. Of course, it is a...

Of course we have an answer to the short ball stuff......the ball isn't going to hit the wickets so don't even try to hit it. Let it go past harmlessly for a few overs, their bowlers will soon get physically tired of banging the ball in for no result. It's called test match cricket. Maybe, but this...

Would love to know the stories behind some of these travels. I'm guessing that there are a few merchant navy types above.

I would only ever wish Stephen Ward every success. But having said that - I struggle to see how a club at this level needs a Director Of Football, as well as a Manager. With an average home attendance of c. 1800, it seems a bit fanciful. IMHO, of course. Mainly because they know that they probably ...

Not impressed much with what I heard/saw of day 1.

Wales in 2016 was hardly just one player. You don't have a record of p3 w2, d1 against Belgium in a single competition with only one player - and one that was quite often missing through injury.

The one that was really missed Friday was Joe Allen.

Anyhow, yes, he's been an unexpected revelation this year with almost no noticible problem adjusting to the Premier league.

Mcnally I've not watched much, but on the basis of the play - off final v Luton, he's quite a way behind dak.

It was 75 minutes of helter-skelter play where wales could have had about 8 fairly comfortably, and a surprisingly interesting Armenia team showing them how to finish. Even at 2-4 down you could have little complaint about the level of entertainment. Armenia's first goal was a beautiful strike. Both...

Well whichever one you prefer, it seems that VK doesn't want to play them on artificial Turf. Either Diest or St truiden are not far from the E40, so easy to get to if spectators are allowed in.

I don't think that I've recommended "death and the penguin" on here before, by Andre kurkuv. Not too long, entertaining, sort of quaint, very original, and not one of those russian books where unless you write down the names of people as you go along, you forget who half the cast is.

That's when we'll really feel like a Premier League team.

Not if we get Luton away first up.

Won a trophy. Lost in that they showed us all what their supporters really are. Should have been played in a ground where the players and pitch are half a mile from the supporters, like Wembley, or gateshead.
