    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    Few hens coming home to roost here, I think. Defence has been embarrassing, Samoa getting over the gain line almost literally every play. And, I know tackling isn't really Jonny May's thing, but his effort for Ah Wong's first was pretty bloody pony. We're massively flattered by being only 6...

    Football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I vaguely recall she bonded (or so his anecdote would have it) with Reg Dwight over both of them having had tens of thousands of footy fans regale them with ditties about their putative enthusiasm for a practice beloved of the denizens of Sodom.

    ODI World Cup 2023 Fantasy Draft

    Yeah, hats off to @CricAddict it's a really well designed spreadsheet. :notworthy So much so that I can see my points per player average (50, less than half yours, he notes somewhat bitterly) is actually faintly two bob (6th overall) and I'm top almost entirely thanks to my largely inadvertent...

    FAO Arsenal Fans

    Yeah, you did mention it. He's absolutely staunch, as one understands. Hugely, hugely clever guy too; humour in music is really tricky to pull off without tipping over into being a comedy performer who happens to use musical numbers, but our Nigel successfully walks that tightrope. Next time...

    FAO Arsenal Fans

    For years in my mental rolodex Tranmere Rovers = Half Man Half Biscuit, Awaydays by Kevin Sampson, John Aldridge, Dixie Dean and Jason McAteer. Now it's just pretty much Corrin though. To all intents and purposes he is Tranmere Rovers as far as my mind is concerned.

    *Official* Opening Match- England v New Zealand- October 5th, Ahmedabad

    I think we've discovered what happened to that canoe bloke who faked his own death:

    *Official* Opening Match- England v New Zealand- October 5th, Ahmedabad

    Kudos to EnZed for putting our batting effort into perspective. I mean, it's no secret the Black Caps' strength is their batting, but then so is ours. How we let a team with two proper bowlers (or maybe two and a half if one counts Santner) restrict us to ~280 is criminal.

    Football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Yer crims just need to find a shedload more oil, stone a few women for adultery, execute some gay men and extra judicially kill a few dissidents (teetotallers, people who don't like vegemite and the like), and they'll be a shoo in.

    Huh. Does that mean all six countries qualify as hosts?

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    There is a precedent, but it was offered by the opposition rather than mandated: when Arsene offered t'Blades a Mulligan after (if memory serves) Kanu didn't give them the ball back when it was put out after a Blade injury and (again, IIRC) Overmars scored from the resulting play. Think Steve...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Well they did sign Sancho relatively recently, but... I think not having a keeper who looks as if he should be playing in face paint and a shiny red nose would probably be a start for them.

    Boxing thread

    Yeah and very obviously so too. Opetaia's mouth was a ****ing bloody mess in the last coupla rounds. It was a very close one, could've gone either way. Properly good match up. Opetaia v Thompson less so; the latter clearly not fit to lace the former's gloves. Opetaia called out Billam-Smith...

    Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

    If my reading is correct a losing bonus (or a 4 try one in a heavier defeat) is all Fidge need to guarantee a quarter vs us?

    ODI World Cup 2023 Fantasy Draft

    Yeah, me too. Assume it's too late for a Lankan bid?

    Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

    Given Castro was an Argentine with Italian antecedents I'm willing to bet he must've played at some point! Not sure how big footy is in Tonga. Although I bet the players are effing big.

    *Official* Ireland ODI tour Of England : Sep 2023

    Jeez, Jacks and Salt taking the long handle to the Irish openers. 50 up off 21 balls. EDIT: now 54 off 22

    Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

    It's pretty much impossible to overstate how much the round ball code dominates over here. Plus I reckon one could make a reasonable XI out of union players who were on the books of football teams as youths. There's Toby Flood, Alex Goode, Danny Care, Danny Cipriani, Alex Lozowski (Arsenal...

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    It's worse than that; they were amongst the second seeds. Given Ireland, France and Australia were the others I don't think anyone could claim with a straight face they weren't the weakest. Except for yer Wobblies, obvz. :whistling
