  1. Film Bad endings which ruined good movies

    The Abyss, like a 5 year old decided everyone should live happily ever after.
  2. India politics thread

    Friday nights will be a Bharatian washed down with a pint of BPA
  3. How good are you at assessing the potential of young players?

    I’m almost always wrong but was certain Carrick would be special when I saw him with England youth team.
  4. Rugby Union 21/22/23 Discussion | RWC time!

    My daughter is working on the Netflix documentary about the 6 nations. She has been assigned to the team filming the Irish and having a great time. I’ve taken her to Twickenham before but she has been to Cardiff, Rome and currently in Edinburgh. She will be in Dublin for St Patrick’s day but...
  5. Michael Carrick "Off the top of your head" goals quiz

    Portsmouth? I was at the game, Old Trafford and Crouch was playing. I know I'm getting forgetful as I am questioning whether Crouch ever played for Portsmouth. Am sure the game ended 1-0 Just noticed there was a quiz..... I totally missed that.
  6. Cody Gakpo: Finish The Story

    agree. Obviously a class player, just not what they needed, trying his best in a poor team currently. Even Firmino looked like a world beater when were at their highest level.
  7. Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

    I am torn. Whilst I believe he would be a great fit for the team, part of me wants him to go Gareth Bale on them and site on the bench taking the money. Barcelona would implode.
  8. Is Golden Goal a Better Alternative?

    Golden goal and it goes on until its scored with no time limit but........ The goal posts move outwards at 15cm per minute
  9. Shane Warne | RIP

    Legend is an over used word in sport but definitely applies to Shane Warne. I remember his last test against England and the Aussies has just beaten us. When the awards were given out the England fans sang 'we wish you were English'. He had a tear in his eye.
  10. Has political correctness actually gone mad?

    Good publicity for the pub. But it's just a pub name so change it if it offends anyone, life is too short.
  11. How good was Daniel Passarella?

    I remember him playing in 1978 and had a sneaky feeling he briefly played for Birmingham so googled it. It was his defensive team mate Alberto Tarantini who was cut from the same cloth. Didn't last long due to poor on field discipline culminating in going into the crowd and punching a supporter...

  13. Let's all laugh at England

    Was the hate too strong to actually try to understand what I had written before replying? I wasn't saying the success and number of trophies was similar, just the hate received. Maybe a little thought before responding next time?
  14. Let's all laugh at England

    I've enjoyed reading this thread. No one is really in a position to laugh at England's loss unless Italian as they earned the right. Anyone else comes across as jealous and bitter which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I enjoyed the game and am really happy at the progress we have made, 2...
  15. Scottish people who want England to fail (debunking a myth)

    My partner is half Scottish and her brother lives 20 minutes walk from Croick Church, about an hour north of Inverness. The visitor books go back decades, reading those leave you in no doubt how the English are thought of up there. I think the Duke of Sutherland has a lot to answer for
