    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    I know it was an effing weird season, but Brayern were pretty awesome in 2020. Absolutely destroyed Barca and the Chavs.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Devoid of context it looks like he did ok too. But I've no idea if 56.57 is an acceptable first grade average for an overseas pro or not.

    Before They Were Test Cricketers

    I suppose, back in the days of (sh)amateurism and 6 month county contracts most test cricketers would've needed a way to earn a crust. Denis Compton famously wintered playing for the Arsenal, Ray Lindwall kicked goals for St George, and, outside of the sporting realm, WG Grace was a medical...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Gotta love this: father of Erland and notable non-recipient of Xmas cards from Roy Keane, Alf Inge Haaland celebrated Citeh's equaliser at the Bernabeu so enthusiastically he was chucked out of his box: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65542043

    Well, two, mainly, tbf. But they were enough. Shocker of a result for B&HA, but worse for yer Trees, Foxes and the Dirties.

    Question on ban announcements

    Huh. Kinda supports the theory he's just an extended bit. One of the weapons in a troll's arsenal is the "polite but dim" schtick. I mean, if he is he's successfully pissed off a lot of folk, so kudos to him.

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Yeah, not only was he utterly ****, he comes across as a deeply, deeply weird cat. Some of the stuff he came out with in press conferences might've even made Brendan Rogers think was ****ing strange and borderline nonsensical, whether it was bigging up his tactical acumen at Luton Down (boo...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Club loyalty isn't the vehicle for political leanings in England in quite the same way as it is in Italy or Spain, say, but Everton seems to have a pretty strong left tilt to their fanbase, so I often wondered how Arbuckle's "I'm Tory, me." schtick went down with them. Then again, big Sol was...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Thought the accepted narrative was that Michael Beale was the real mastermind of that triumph? Given the trajectories of their careers since him and Stevie G parted ways I'm more inclined than not to believe it too.

    Will Arbuckle even see the season out? Jeez, the Chavs look a sorry shower of schisse right now.

    Quite right. What a ****ing hack:

    *Official* Yorkshire CCC racism crisis thread

    That's very unfair. He didn't just give up, he made a very cold-eyed, professional calculation and pulled the plug at exactly the right time...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Agree with Coz here; really looks a different player for England than his does for ManUre. Looks genuinely arse for United. Dunno, maybe it's a confidence thing? Southgate obviously trusts him, picked him even when he was playing like a bag of spanners on the rare occasions he actually played...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    wpd probably won't thank me for tempting fate like this, but I guess one has to doff the cap to Woy. I was far from convinced, especially after the damp squib stay at Watford, but he's probably already done enough to make sure the Beagles are in the Prem next year. Beginning to look slightly...

    England Player Watch

    Gregory used to be, if not out and out quick, then definitely capable of 85+mph and swung it too. Injuries robbed him of his pace though; lucky to crack 80 full whack nowadays.

    Why is an overthrow that goes for 4 attributed to the batsman as 5?

    For the sake of argument, why are runs, er, run before overthrows treated differently to those run before the ball reaches the boundary from the bat?

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Honestly don't get it. He's stunk the joint up once before, did a similar job for yer Toffees and suddenly he's back in the frame?! He's been dining out on that play-off win against the dirties for four years now. Even then Villa stiffed Derby in the final...

    'We value your privacy' notice

    Afraid not. I ignored it for a while and eventually it went away. Which is my preferred solution to 99.94% of all problems.

    He's got considerably more pedigree than Potter has, doesn't he? Took Hoffenheim into the CL and Leipzig to the CL semis. Won the Bundesliga with Bryan too, but that's more or less a free hit nowadays.

    Chavs cratering. You hate to see it... :ph34r: Seriously though Potter must be on borrowed time. Reckon if Uncle Roman was still (officially) in charge he'd have had his P45 by now.
