I wouldn't say that England fear Argentina, it just as fans we are not sure whether the team that beat Ireland in the 6N or collapsed against Scotland in the 6N will show up

Allez, U-S-A! Has quite the tone to it :thumbup: For me it does , I've been in the US exactly 1/2 of my life I'm 20 out of 57, no problem supporting the good old USA against the Celts, but still lean toward the French when they (well we technically) play them, so I'm going with Allez les bleus 8)

Correct, we had to sign a form not to have our boys circumcised when they were born in Texas. We were the exception and the hospital wanted to protect themselves with paperwork

My friend tells me that the full match replays are available on ITV player without any problems using ExpressVPN, but the quality isn’t as quite as good as he usually gets, speed test to the UK server is 5.8 down and 122 ping.

My friend will be hoping that ITV moves games to ITVPlayer on demand within 2 hours of the match finishing so he can watch them at sensible times, obviously this means a media blackout until he's gets to watching the game. Oooh shit I just assumed the full matches would be available on demand from ...

I loved track days. My only annoyance was the rule not to overtake the person in front. I'm zooming around and come up to somebody who was possibly driving a bike that was possibly running out of petrol. That could be the the only reason they could, successfully, get back to the pits. Don’t know wh...

Mine is far more civilized. Thursday Oct 17 10:15am flight Houston to Tokyo, arrive 2pm on 18th. Two QFs with likely mix of NZ, Boks, Ireland, Scotland and/or Japan on Saturday and Sunday.

You managed to use google enough to find a picture of a 996 that also wasn’t yours. I probably did. Should have stuck to text but some on here like images. For the record I had a 916 in red. Dry clutch. Rattled horribly on starting but then went like a sewing machine. I had a 916 SP3 and the clutch...

Just a couple of weeks away now, pretty excited, how important is it to win that first match? We are going through anyway and who knows what will happen in the other groups, surely just as likely to be an upset or two there as well so you never know who you might meet in the Finals anyway. I think ...

Back in 1990 I'd just finished a five year expat stint in the middle/far East and upon returning to the UK decided to spend some of my accumulated cash on superbikes. One evening I was hooning along the A69 West of Newcastle on my Yamaha FZR1000 and got a ticket for doing 148.7mph. Well they didn't ...

Went off instant about 8 years ago after a week in hospital, and bought a Nespresso machine. I like strong, dark roast coffee with a small drop of milk, and found the Nespresso a bit weak but persevered with it because of convenience. A few months ago my wife got me a Sage espresso machine and its ...

Each to their own but I can't stand instant. I drink either espresso or caffè crema and tend to vary my beans, I'm currently alternating between; Lavazza Gran Espresso Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Espresso Roast and Koffee Kult Dark Roast Coffee Beans.

And yes I get a caffine buzz if I have too many.

Great TDF, thoroughly enjoyable, I always liked AP, but he’s an even classier ride than I previously thought, just a great around rider and human being. Irrespective of the two shortened stages, the outcome would have been exactly the same, Bernal first and Thomas runner up. Roll on 2020.

Classy comments from Brailsford.... “.....He’s been a great contributor to the race and to French cycling,” he said. “I really, really like Thibaut Pinot, I always have. You couldn’t help but watch those images without being really genuinely upset and sorry for him. The French fans can feel really p...

Correct, I was just answering another poster's question.

If Kruijswijk and Buchmann fall as well, then I don't see why Thomas doesn't go for it. Chances then though would be very small as officially 1'16" gap. Ineos do not have the muscle to drop Kruijswijk nor Buchman nor Landa, not even Porte or Barguil actually. Their train may be enough to drop an ex...

Good outcome for AP, he would have lost a lot more time on the last climb and this keeps it close

Race officially stopped. They'll take the times at the top of the Iseran. Not good for Ala. Right decision to stop the race Agreed. Right decision, but it's frustrating. Both the confusion, as well as the strategic gameplan the riders were going for. Can't have Bernal winning the tour on this anti-...

Ineos massing at the front, I expect them to drill it on the L’Iseran to get rid of Alan Phillips, they no longer have to worry about Pinot’s explosive attacks so they can just ride defensively for the rest of the stage I was expecting Movistar to do something, but it doesn’t look like materializin...

This plus people who think exercising their dog means putting them in the back garden, so every time I walk past they bark at me, particularly when I'm walking my dog.

My biggest issue with America is the way the country has been designed for the car. It's like a giant car park. No one walks (outside the big cities). It feels weird. It’s almost like it’s really big. My grandad lived in a small town called Durango, in Colorado. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durang...
