Re: U.S. politics thread and Joe Biden-the Ronan O'Gara of U.S. Presidents
There's a lot of shit being written about Jan 6th. The mad thing is though, the actual history is probably contained here in this board.

Re: MESSI or MARADONA
My favourite player to watch in a WC when I was young was Cruyff. I did see all the 1970 WC, but 1974 made a bigger impact. Judging it again, the difference between a Cruyff highlights tape, and the Pele one put up here would be that both were great dribblers, but Pele's runs seemed to result in a l...

I see in Northampton it shall be just above freezing at 1 tomorrow, and warming up as time goes on with a drizzle of rain falling.
I would imagine the ground will be slippy at the beginning, then getting muddier and muddier as the game goes on. Leinster would hate that, but it might suit Munster.
