Rugby is the most popular sport in Wales. Its not, its football.

I'm still loving in the post-Wenger era Arsenal Fan TV is still as entertaining as ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnu7HlAHNTI Commentary on the youth coming through and Ozil blasting Germany, all with a crowd from Singapore. :thumbup: It's gonna be pretty exciting to see Arsenal this season ...

It was a mere 3 pages long but in ""Now I can die in peace" - your sports bucket list" I feel that I did my part, in my own small way to will Cleveland's 2016 NBA championship into existence, from the OP: Also, from a neutral and completely unrelated standpoint I'd love to see the city of Cleveland ...

At least they are getting some money instead of him walking for free, still, would be pretty poor planning if they didn't have someone (Pickford is the most obvious option as TMWF suggests) lined up since I think this has been on the cards for quite some time . Has it? Don't think chelsea have been...

BREAKING NEWS Former England No 1 Rob Green is due to begin a medical at Chelsea later today ahead of signing a year-long deal, SSN understands. Courtois to Madrid is a done deal by the looks of things. Pickford to Chelsea? Can't see Green being first choice. Yeah, Pickford would be a logical choic...

Anyway I see news reports that the gunman from the OP had previously had the police called on him for threatening customers at the shop where he killed the man. Verbally accosting somebody's girlfriend was a surefire way to provoke a violent response thus giving him the excuse to execute the man. "...

Must've been unprovoked as the Welsh lads are gonna push for him to be prosecuted. If it was six of one half a dozen of the other handbags they would have let it drop given how much effort is gonna be involved. “The boys want to take this all the way,” a Wales source said. “There was nothing in the ...

Ozil probably would have gotten away with the whole Erdogen thing if he wasn't so flaming useless. Bet if he'd done it in 2010 the German public would have been a lot more forgiving, it's a storm in a tea cup really. Agreed, if he has a good tourney all of this is irrelevant. His statement was a bi...

The most pointless thing about this particular case is that if you look at the aerial shot of the small parking lot there are about half a dozen spaces and all of them are about as far from the door of the store as each other. In other words the disabled spot is disabled by virtue of being nominate...

If you haven't already read Ozil's post on Instagram. He really gives it to a few people as well, even if there is a hint of double standards to it. Haven't seen it, will check it out. I guess these types of recriminations and fallout are an inevitability when you are world champions and then have ...

But Hoeness says the Arsenal star’s departure should be welcomed as he has been getting away with sub-par performances for some time. “I am glad that this scare is now over. He had been playing sh*t for years,” he told Sport Bild. “He last won a tackle before the 2014 World Cup. And now he and his ...

The problem for NZ is their need to host big test matches. Which is one game of 40k crowd a year. Otherwise CHCH should have a little stadium like AAMI Stadium (rebels) in Melbourne but with a roof. Yeah, but what if they made Eden Park (their biggest stadium and fortress - unbeaten there since 94 ...

Awful. Hope that all the victims survive.

Given only around 8500 spectators attended the game on a night when blustery winds prevented the big screen from being hoisted, the Crusaders will have to budget for a loss. There can't be many competitions around where a team hosting a home playoff game is gonna end up losing money. Thats a pretty...

Yup, the one in the first half that led to the try and the one where England had got it back to a 7 pt game and lost it after Ravouvol stepped in touch..... Both on the same part of the field too.

Well done NZ.

Think NZ will stroll this.

Mon Fiji.

A weekend in Dublin would immediately follow.

I think Ireland already missed out on qualification.

Despite a poor crowd for what ended up being a walkover on the weekend the Crusaders have the highest percentage of attendance vs capacity (78%) in Super Rugby. I'm sure you'll see a sell out this weekend for the Canes (I'm about to grab some tickets in the presale) and a sellout for the final too ...

From the comments: Most people that follow it are brain dead virtue signalers that simply get outraged at the socially acceptable thing to be outraged for at the moment, then go back and do everything in private they proclaim not to be. :nod: The guy is a fraud, was a die hard conservative/Republica...

Glad Ireland got on the scoreboard at the end there..... That was a tough one.

Heads up play by England there.

Great to see Zola back in football as Chelsea asst coach. Hes one of my favourites, hes a great bloke and loves the game like a kid.

Holy moly, what a comeback! That conversion to tie it up.

Schroder only leapt onto my radar after he'd been in the league a couple years - tbf I rarely watch Hawks games and they've never been consistently good enough for long enough to get many nationally televised games. Anyway, I remember thinking "holy shit this rookie is fast", the player guarding him...

What an awful stadium. Converting cricket grounds to rectangular sports is sublime compared to these baseball grounds that look half built It's a great stadium. Would definitely rather see rugby at a baseball stadium than a cricket ground. t is a great baseball stadium but it's absolutely bollocks ...

Agreed Earl. I think Lingaard was mostly anonymous at the business end of the tournament.

Tbf when the chips were down against the high quality teams I don't think any of England's attacking players set the world alight, one shot on target in the semi final I think says it all.

Assuming Manu does not return Spurs are losing a ton of perimeter defense (Anderson, Green, Manu and Kawhi) and veteran, championship experience (Manu, Parker, Kawhi and Green). Ignoring Kawhi since he only suited up 9 times thats about 26 points a game from 2017/18 season that the Spurs are losing ...

Yeah, I know a handful and I've found them to be good people.

Agreed, Spurs did about as good as they could all things considered..... It was a question of salvaging a very bad situation.
