Steward beaten yet again in a one-on-one near the end? Imagine my farking surprise. Dire stuff. Manu at 13 is a bad joke, absolutely useless. He's long lost any pace he had, waste of a shirt. Not much better at 12 either. Manu is bad, but he's a lot worse with Faz at 12. Manu. Can't. Play. 13. How ...

More that they liked the Spain/Portugal/Morocco bid but were politically bullied into the SA matches for the 100th anniversary.

It's probably worth pointing out that a middle of the road, decent pro, capable of winning a couple of races would be paid more than the highest paid rugby player. It's far bigger than rugby.

So AC have officially announced a new Stadium, with Inter set to follow them out of the San Siro (in fact out of Milan altogether if rumours are to be believed).

I just completed 15 weeks sober (106 days). Had a session yesterday, and was quite surprised to find that despite having absolutely no alcohol for 106 days, my tollerance had not descreased at all.

Provo boy speaks Killing kids in Warrington is ok Singing songs about how bad that was is bad What a disgusting piece of shit I just don’t think a song that alienates a large proportion of the teams supporters should be sung at a rugby match.

I was really worried for a bit that they were gonna make #gcKuss sit on Mas/Ayuso’s wheels and let Vingo go 3 minutes up the road.

Why wasn’t there meaningful dialogue with the British government over their discrimination against Catholics?

There's a very interesting theory that 1) Roe vs Wade and 2) a relative scarcity of Crack Cocaine had as much influence on the reduction in NY crime as Broken Windows.
