Interested to read the OP, but I feel it is a large helping of nostalgia followed by an overdose of "Whatiffery". If this happens or that happens..... If a German black cat walks over a broken mirror underneath a ladder on Friday 13th they might just have a bad day....... My Grandma used...

And then Arsene, the board told Jose he can have as much as he wants for transfers this summer.

We Were Conned And Now We Need A New Referendum https://news.sky.com/story/whistle-blower-doubtful-gove-did-not-know-of-vote-leave-donation-11307465 As more revelations emerge about the role of Cambridge Analytica (CA) in the EU Referendum the question must be asked: Can the outcome of that...

Thank you for that, PP. Unfortunately, the moderator who is always very quick to pull me up for any transgressions of the rules appears to be somewhat slack in carrying out his duty when it comes to bullying by the Leave supporters. It seems there are two sets of rules on this site and Mark...

Your point about atmosphere in the game is a good one and if the game were ever intended as a form of entertainment, then VAR would certainly be a bad thing. But we have to remember that football is, first and foremost, a sport. Entertaining the fans and winning the game are important, but...

Careful with the phossy jaw. :bg:

Survey completed, Nik. Good luck with your dissertation. May I ask; Why did you choose England for your survey..? I am genuinely interested.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh..... don't mention anything.... you know..... E-u-r-o-p-e-a-n. It's a dirty word to Dan. The likelihood of there being any rich Brits in the future, at least, willing to put money into the country, is somewhat remote. As for Charlton parting the ways with Karl Robinson...

The Scottish Question Isn’t Going To Just Go Away. Who cares what the Scots think eh? Simmering Scottish resentment has been quietly sidelined by Westminster. Downing Street thinks that talk of another constitutional crisis is exaggerated. Perhaps they should think again? In her recent...

I (once again) pointed out the reasons I had for starting this thread, and that I am not going to be deflected from the points I am making. And that is MY prerogative. You quite rightly say that others have the right to make their point. I agree. But at the same time, I have the right to...

There is a lot of good rugby played in the Super Rugby series. It's difficult though, to see how anybody is going to take the title away from New Zealand this season though. Waratahs were the last to do that in 2014 and before that, Queensland Reds in 2011. Other than those two occasions...

Harlequins vs Saracens at the London Stadium, just about to kick off. 51'000 fans in the stadium (not bad for a sport that, according to some posters on this site, nobody watches). Nobody seems to mind watching the match from the far side of the running track. There are stewards in evidence...

Yeah, seeing as, according to this forum, David Silva isn't worthy of sniffing the exhaust of the van that takes Paul Scholes' jock strap to the laundry I would offer Joey Barton, Carlton Palmer, Geoff Thomas and Andy Sinton as automatic shove-ins to the Manchester City midfield.

I remember when sin bins came into Rugby Union. It became immediately apparent that there would need to be changes made to the system of timekeeping to ensure that they worked, the most important of these being something that I've advocated on this site (and elsewhere) for a long time now. The...

The Queen of the Piskies is known as Joan the Wad (don't laugh). Wad is the Cornish word for 'torch fire'. Joan is traditionally said to use her Wad (Torch) to light the way to safety and good luck for those who travel through dangerous country. As a Cornish rhyme says, "Good fortune will...
