Bellingham is very well spoken. Intelligent. You can tell how he answers questions. Most footballers use the media training and throw out clichés when they're asked questions. Jude is very impressive For one so young especially... and for some reason I thought he was quite tall... but he looked a s...

Watch them pull a peak banter 0-4 out of the hat now in the second leg Does this mean the EPL is unlikely to get a fifth Champions League place next season? I lose track, but presumably no English teams in the Champions League semis has an adverse impact. Silver linings and all that if 5th ends up ...

But it didn’t really feel like that on the day. France weren’t right the whole tournament. They’d started their skid 6 months prior, probably. I don’t think it was the toughest game for the Boks. Sorry? Despite DuPont's early injury, they still had their best RWC pool stage ever cruising to a convi...

So the Bok fans made you regret this? Vok, do you know how many kant supporters the All Blacks and Wallabies have? Grow a spine. See pre 2019 you'd never get a Bok post like this... you were all pleasant... :D So all Kiwi posters are like AC? We've always been the same... But you've changed... you'...

I think, regardless of sickness, everyone (including AB supporters) were very happy that the Boks won in 1995 Sadly, in the years since, some Bok ‘fans’ have done their best to make us regret that sentiment.

I dunno why it has 100% ratings. I enjoyed it and watched every season.... but I'm not sure why I liked it? Just found it quite addictive... being set in the 80s helped.

Grandpa

In the TV coverage the commentator mentioned before the match that an illness had swept through the NZ team earlier in the week I assune you refer to '95? or is this the Stade de France final? Bear in mind if you're a bok supporters for instance and you don't get the team year you'll be clueless ab...

According to The Standard, the FA recently released data on the Chelsea stars as part of their annual agent payments report last week. The data suggests that the Blues have extended the contracts of Fernandez and Mudryk until 2032 and 2031 respectively. If both the players stay at Stamford Bridge u...

Rory has denied it. Just like Rahm did... So it's definitely on.

Didn't watch the game, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLijRBhtOq8 WTF are these lads doing? Palmer's your penalty taker. He's the best player at the club, going for the golden boot. As Dele suggests a little more politely. Get fud...

Grandpa

Granpa Question for you. I want you to be honest…. If Liverpool had Haaland instead of Darwin, do you think they win the PL this season? Yes, probably. Also if they had Kane, Toney, Isak or Watkins. But I'd still want Nunez in the side... He's not a proper number 9. Diaz is playing in his position....

Grandpa

I am similarly in and hooked. I enjoyed it all. Though it looks like audience numbers may not be high enough to earn a second season which is a shame. Might be a slow burner in terms of audience numbers. You could always read the books if need be. The Dark Forest (2) and Deaths End (3) are better t...

Can't Saka and Palmer both play? Palmer can play in midfield... Probably competing with Bellingham and Foden for that attacking midfielder spot? But definitely bench minimum. We're so stacked up front it's ridiculous. Like one of those 80s American hot rods... With a huge kick ass engine up front.....

Cotter is pure class, surely not him either.

Dunno what it is about Cotter.. I love him on the golf course and his Twitter dog commentary.. but rugby... Dunno.. not for me.

Who is your favourite rugby commentator. For me it would be Benjamin Kayser followed closely by Justin Marshall. Ridiculously good knowledge of the game and easy to listen accents. Same probably Phil Kearns used to make me laugh. Mexted was myopic but a legend all the same. Can’t stand the Scottish...

Grandpa

If you believe it’s over, explain how? The City run-in is how. Hard to make a case for them getting anything other than the full 18 points available. Spurs away is the only fixture you could conceivably see them dropping points at, which looks less and less likely with their form in the last few ga...

Grandpa

City have been average this season too... And will still win it... But, but, I've just been reading that BBC article about this possibly being the best EPL season ever.... Oh it is... in terms of the closeness. Liverpool have over-achieved this season already. It's been a transitional season for th...

Talking of the Blues lock curse, Suafoa is now out with cancer. Poor bugga.

:lol: Get the fûck in there Bit disappointed as this may well turn into a procession for City again. I was hoping for a 3 way run-in. Liverpool's wheels have fallen off. Arsenal just didn't have enough of it when it counted. Still, if the Gooners win all remaining games and City draw one they could...

It's OK Salah will sold to Saudi for £70m or whatever and nobody will bat an eyelid. All the PL teams are hypocrites when it comes to Saudi, happy to take the cash when it suits though. I hope so. Should have taken the £200m last year. One person who probably cheered this result, is whoever is the ...

Salah since the hamstring injury looks slower. Either he's still carrying the injury... or it's terminal.
