    England players and selection discussion thread

    He's been with Essex for quite a while, so maybe? I'm guessing he originally came over to play as a local thanks to his Dutch passport, but he may well have lived here long enough to qualify for a UK one now too. Not sure Franky Worrall is qualified either though, although he has said he wants...

    2024 Olympic Games

    Boxing's usually pretty good value, occasional blatant judging stitch up notwithstanding. From a GB perspective it'll be interesting to see how the wonderfully named Delicious Orie goes in the (men's) Super Heavyweight division. We've medalled at the weight as often as not since the turn of the...

    Leading players who had a disability etc (e.g. Len Hutton's arm)

    Didn't Paddles have a congenital heart defect that wasn't detected until he retired?

    Who is cricket's greatest alpha character?

    Curtly. Extremely low temperature chap. Peter Willey deserves a nod too; even Botham (a try-hard alpha manque if ever there was) knew better than to mess around with Pete. Hard AF by repute.

    2024 NRL Tipping Comp

    Don't pretend to be an expert, but thought the Dogs minus 4.5 against dear old St George was generous AF.

    That lardo Sutton reserve keeper who necked a pie on the bench in their FA Cup tie against us only got a token slap on the wrist, tbf. And that was blatant AF. One of Paddy Power's uncomedy bets, wasn't it?

    Boxing thread

    I think showing they're a quote-unquote "normal" country fit to sit at the top table is the goal itself. Whilst people are talking about LIV golf or Usyk handing Fury's arse to him it deflects attention from yer Sauds' more-than-mildly iffy human rights record and its repression of any talk...

    Just like my ex mutually kicked my sorry arse to the kerb.

    Boxing thread

    Well, on the face of it, I'd agree. It's generally considered to be bent as a nine bob note, and that's amongst its fans, but world title fights are actually one of the easiest high-profile sports events for brutal, oppressive regimes to buy. Other than F1 and the footy WC, and they've already...

    Don't follow them closely enough to confirm, but it was a bad loss, even as 5-0s go. Really looked like they weren't putting in, which is the worst thing one can say of a team.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Madness. Yeah, it's been a (hilariously) mediocre season for yer Chavs, but who are they gonna get who's better? De Zerbi's "mutual" conscious uncoupling from B&H looks suspiciously convenient now. Actually it looks as if Amorim from Sporting is the fav, but after AV-B one would think they've...

    Boxing thread

    I guess "sportwashing" is the trite answer. Shows they're not beyond the pale no matter how many adulteresses they stone or homosexuals they execute. I don't think a lack of currency is a big concern for yer Sauds, nor is opening new revenue streams.

    Official Rugby Thread

    Yeah, not very clever. Mind you, I'm not 100% on the rules, but was that a clear try scoring chance? Deliberate knock on is a penalty and (usually) a yellow every day, but I'm not totally sold on that being a clear cut opportunity which, as I understand, is necessary for a penalty try. And I...

    Young players who failed to realise their potential

    Was probably a bit earlier than that (the Windies tour of 2004 Harmy's zenith, IMHO) but good shout. I'm just hoping we're not soon adding Jofra to the list too. He's 29 now, which is no spring chicken in quicks' terms.

    By my count they're the 11th or 12th Prem team to make the CL (depending on whether one counts going out in the qualifying round as CL proper): Man U Blackburn Newcastle The Arse Chavs Leeds Liverpool Everton* (kinda) Spuds Citeh Leicester Villa Think that's it, but haven't checked out of...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Spot on. Fecking Villa have done the double over us, haven't they? Plus we adopted a rather more front foot MO at New Maine Road last season and we all know how that finished. Drawing away at Citeh is never gonna be a bad result, IMHO.
