Re: How Many Weeks For Franks?

Do Kiwis seriously think that the clear video showing Franks moving his hand and fingers all around the eyes of an opposition player are any less damming than other evidence used to ban players in 2015/16 for up to 3 months? What possible arguments make it less inadmissible as something at the very ...

Re: F1 Thread

I get the feeling already that Hamilton is going to humiliate Rosberg in this race. It'd be worth wearing out one of his new engines to deliver the death blow early. Well just shy of 1/2 a second on qualifying is a start. He could probably win the race by over 30 seconds with that sort of advantage...

Re: OFFICIAL EU/UK referendum thread

It's not the first time you've called me a dickhead, and I doubt it'll be the last.

I don't think Nonu is worth anything like £1m per year. First rule of making a deal is don't bid against yourself - who else would offer him a salary anywhere within £250k of that?
