    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    I am absolutely flabbergasted that the guy was picked if I'm being honest. I don't see how a few good games after perhaps the best part of 18 months being mediocre at best gets him back in the England team. Incidentally, I have been on a bit of a do in Tenerife for a few days, only returning...

    A nice night out Tbilisi. I went trekking in the Caucasus a few years ago too. Don't recall seeing much about rugby during my travels there.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    I honestly can't remember who it was with. He was usually pretty clever in being offensive but then walking away for long enough to avoid action. However, my recollection (and I admit I can't remember exactly the details now) is that he couldn't help himself and got riled and couldn't walk away.

    If there is any season that someone is going to take off, it is going to be the intermediate season after the world cup and two years for the build up to the next one.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Bresnan a legend even when not taking wickets, Broad a lucky c**t when he was knocking over Warner and Clarke ad nauseum. That was essentially the depth of the argument. I can't remember the specifics of the time he finally got banned as that was a good few years ago. What I do recall was that...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    That fella on the old forum was real hard work. What was black became white and all that. Many scousers do kind of identify as Irish re the anthem matter. I don't sing GSTK, but that's because I'm very happy with my belief of no almighty existing.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    I'm just telling you how it is, there wouldn't be any hostility to you to being Australian/foreign, and I've lived in London pretty much all my life, Maybe you might find the smaller cities/towns a bit more welcoming, but I'd be amazed if you had any agg unless you went to the wrong part of...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Over my many visits to Merseyside following West Ham for nearly 30 years (and it's certainly been thankless task going to Anfield apart from one occasion), I can confirm that there are plenty of Irish pubs (and not the plastic paddy Irish theme bars) because of course Dublin is only a ferry ride...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    I was near King's Cross on Saturday night and to say it was full of Toonies was an understatement. In fairness we got talking to a few and they were good value. Clearly many made a long weekend of it and they basically took over the narrative from the weekend. I was even having to go across town...

    English Domestic Season 2025

    I linked to an article at the end of my previous post that pointed out that attendances had gone down at the games. However, as I think we are both agreeing it is overseas/Indian audience that will probably keep it going for the shorter term because of the revenue that this brings in.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    But I'm not sure it is underwritten by those that go to the games compared to the TV income and audience figures will count for relatively speaking, a far smaller amount of cash through the turnstiles. The big thing about these tournaments are that they are at a time when there is less Indian...

    Yeah, I saw that mentioned by Pak Passion. I will still go to the Blast, but I'll give the crisp packet tournament a swerve.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Yep fair enough. I know EPL has a large enough following in India and it makes sense you like those times. I would have thought Sunday 2pm (7:30 IST) would work well. Our clocks move forward an hour at the end of this month, whereas yours stay the same, so those games will be an hour earlier for...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Agreed on that. Ironically the best games for people overseas to watch are Saturday at 3pm. That works for the Americas as well as Asia. It is never too late Makes no sense how so many get shifted around. Even in Australia many moons ago when I was there, it is midnight when a 3pm (UK time) game...

    ICC solution to maintaining both T20Is & ODIs within the cricketing calendar

    The recent England white ball tour to India was a case in point. It was really a warm up for the Champions Trophy but there were 5 t20s first of all before the 3 ODIs. The personnel and tactics didn't much vary. England seemingly didn't want to bat their full allocation regardless of the...

    Steve Smith VS Jacques Kallis

    Clearly Smith for me because of his extra gears as well as the small matter of two WC winners medals.

    I did wonder about that re Potter and Brighton. And yes, Glasner is obviously a good manager. I am still utterly baffled that you and Brighton are biggest rivals with each other regardless of the Mullery/Venables thing. It doesn't make much sense geographically unless you live somewhere near...

    That's a fair take, certainly from where I'm sitting.

    Potter has done fine. FWIW I was suggesting amongst those I know that we should have gone for him not too long after he got the sack from Chelsea. Their crazy recruitment strategy didn't help him at all although it was simply likely that job was a little too big for him. I thought he would be ok...
