strange you accuse others of being antagonistic when posting profusely on the england thread apparently as a welshman. Wind your neck in. That you consider a foreigner commenting on English rugby to be "antagonistic" is telling. Jog on. :lol: Let's all try that on the Welsh thread this morning aye?...

One of the best movies ever made ? You taking the piss ? Gladiator is a solid, well made and endlessly rewatchable movie. If a bit serious about itself at times, I won't say wooden. Pairs well with popcorn. But Commodus clearly gets knifed by one of his Praetorians within a year even if he finds so...

Should go down an NFL route where if the ball isn’t in play the game clock doesn’t count down. Also keep 30secs or whatever for scrums and lineouts. If a player is injured he has 20 seconds to either get back into it or leave the field and can re enter play at the next stop. Now there is the most i...

Great drive from Max but I do think the pitting under VSC/SC and Red flag regs all need to be looked at. IMO overtaking should be done on the track or by doing a great strategy not by gaining a cheaper stop due to blind luck. I think I would have it as no stops under VSC/SC or Red Flag unless mandat...

Having watched some of the games this weekend I can't help but feel but Rugby is at a low ebb. Maybe be it's me but Quality comes only in flashes and the game is missing the spark. For me the 98-2007 period was the high water mark - and England were shit post 03 so it isn't based on success of the t...

I’ll say it. It gets said every year by moaners but this year I think it’s true… it’s a poorer premier league this year. There’s only a handful of teams who are better or even: Villa Chelsea Bournemouth Forest Brighton (Arguably Fulham) Everyone is worse or perceptively worse. You have to have Slot...

Where’s all you Southgate nut huggers clamouring for United to sign him? Cocks. Imagine that, they go for Amorim instead of him. Who the fudge wanted Southgate at United?

That's a pretty low bar, BC! :lol: :lol: as someone with 2 engineering degrees the science that you were doing in your studies makes my brain itch so there must be something about you... Just don't ask my wife about emotional intelligence on the wrong day. :uhoh: Or mine even on the right day.

For me the important thing is how they react for their next game. it was rubbish, but Greece were massively up for that game and have always been a b*tch to play against.

In this respect he's done more for the sport than many former champions. Which of the modern ones? - I would argue probably only Rosberg would be in that category of champions in my memory. Although I am sure it is true in Australia as you had not had too many previous F1 drivers and Webber was har...

Pippo Ganna desperately needs a sympathetic course designer at the world's some year. Having a climb just kills him against Evenepoel (and Van Aert & Roglic in Tokyo.......)

Lawson should go well. Obviously a DR fan, but it was only a matter of time after it became clear he wasn’t smoking Yuki, and Yuki is only still there because of Honda.

Falling over clipped in is a right of passage. My missus went 20 miles upright on her first ride in them, I didn’t mention it to not jinx her, and then, at a light 2 miles from home, she fell over with my boss sitting in his car, with his whole family, waiting for us to cross. :thumbup: On another ...

Looks like Danny Ric has had his last F1 race Some umours that they could put him in a Red Bull as he performed extremely well at the tyre test at Silverstone and historically he goes well in a high downforce machine like the RB.

Eddie Dunbar putting in his claim for Team leadership in the Giro or Vuelta next year, rather than just being Ben's mountain helper for the Tour. On another note - what has happened Tao Geoghegan-Hart? I know that his Giro was a fluke, but even still he should be a top-10 finisher in a relatively w...

The most humiliating thing of all England went easy on us in that second half. Such an embarrassing lack of ability in our team. No excuses for England .

Wait, you think international qualifying should be ability based?

Not unexpected in that second half. Ireland tightened up at the back and England happy to play within themselves and let opportunities happen rather than force the game

Groves only has to stay upright. Vine might hang on. O’Connor almost certainly won’t (though Roglic has bungled the endgame in the past) but it’s been a heroic effort. Even if Roglic doesn’t win, I think one of Carapaz or Mas will also overhaul O’C before the finish. Mas has looked as good as I can...

nasty crash now for WVA forcing him to abandon.

Anecdotally for me there seem to be a lot more bad high speed crashes the last few years. i dont know if its down to disc brakes giving a false sense of confidence, pure competitiveness/pressure or something else.
