Kane did it in 110 games. Lofthouse did it in 33 games. I'll leave that with everyone.

We've had defeats but it's a long time since I've felt this despondent after one. I've seen the post match interviews put up on SM and I can't be arsed watching them because I know the same lines will be spouted out. I did see SS record since he came here and it surprised me how bog standard it is. Ok, he had to work with what he had early on. But in the summer he was given the go-ahead to get rid and get in his players. He's done that. Everything is now on him and his staff. There's no Evatt fallout anymore. At times it's all right. But it's been average and awful a lot more. Everything about yesterday was dreadful. The majority got their wish and wanted to see an end of Evatt-Ball. Be careful what you wish for. IE downfall was his stubbornness. SS needs to sit his staff and himself down and have an honest assessment about themselves and look at their approach and faults. An orchestra is only as good as the conductor. I'm a patient man and willing to give folk more time than they probably deserve. But the line in the sand got a lot closer after yesterday.

I remember watching that. It was a live Sunday afternoon match on ITV.

Stadiums will be full. Don't worry about that. I normally book a week (or two) off work early in a World Cup so I can catch as many matches as possible. No point with this one. I'll probably be watching in bed for most of it. I'll get some stamina training in when the Ashes start in November.

We've not lost since the last final in New Zealand 4 years ago. We would have won that if we hadn't of had a man sent off with 20 minutes to go. Anyway. I like watching the women's game. Well, England's internationals. It helps that we are brilliant. And it also helps that I don't know half of what's going on with the rules and tactics. That goes for the men game as well. Well done Roses. SPOTY team of the year award should be very interesting. I hope the ladies cricket team make it a full house later this month.

We won ugly, and deserved to win, but it should have been a so much easier afternoon. We were very sloppy at times and that gave Peterborough the ball and we made heavy weather of getting it back. I don't know but that might have been the best that Peterborough had played all season. Anyway it's a win. *I'm struggling to figure out what Cissoko brings to the table.

Done.

When I first started work in the Cable TV industry one of my work colleague's was Davy Lutton, former drummer from TRex. He was now a suit working for PacTel. At that time he lived in a very nice old converted farmhouse on the outskirts of Bolton near Belmont. He threw a party once and I thought great, rock & roll, drugs, mars bars and naked women. It wasn't.

Amy Hunt.

That's better 😁 Going watching W.A.S.P. next week. Hopefully I can still squeeze into the spandex.

I've got a Pixel 8a. I had a 6a before that. I'm boring when it comes to getting a new Mobile. I don't do any homework or research. I just get one. I like the edit facility you get with my 8a for your photos and videos.

What the fucking hell are you on about you mentalist? I was only describing, as I see it, the relationship we have the US. Nothing more and nothing less. We get thrown a bone every now and again which keeps us happy. FYI I'm more than happy with the "special relationship".

It's not on the scale of good old Neville. But it can definitely be described as an appeasement. We gain a lot by being a poodle to the US. Just recently we've been given a 25% doggy chew tariff for being a good boy.

Nah, I'll go with appeasement. We don't want to get on the wrong side of Uncle Sam.

I think it's called appeasement. But let's be honest here. We've been doing this since the 1940s.

This Game Of Thrones pandering is embarrassing and demeaning for us. The US know this and the whole world knows this. But it's a necessary evil for the dollars and favouritism. The rest of the world can only dream about of being in the same position as us. We'll laugh at Trumps jokes and listen to how fantastic he'll tell us. In return he can wank himself silly on all he pomp we have to offer.

I'll have to revisit Three Days Of The Condor.

As far as I know I am a human being, and I don't want to kill anyone over what is said. And I'm assuming everyone in this forum is a human being too. But having said that, polarisation has always been with us. It has advanced in parallel with us since the Stone Age. I saw that Tim Berners-Lee interview too. Unfortunately Tim, Pandoras box has been opened and there is no going back! There is no going back to being human beings because we are human beings and that's the problem. Hate, on both sides, is a product of todays environment. This reality we live in now is the new normal. It's a case of how it's handled by the folk that live in it. There's more love in this world that hate. People need to be reminded of that sometimes.

In a world of AI and deep fakes I would imagine this is very easy to do. Shit, I bet I could do it. #RealityDoubt

After recent performance's this one was a suprise. Serbia are decent. Serbia were never going to set up like Andorra. But if they had I suspect that we would have found it hard work. The problem we seem to have is breaking down teams who don't want to ship goals.

Never saw that coming. Yes, I great result. But let's not kid ourselves. Serbia were poor. I expected more from them.

Cheap season tickets or cheaper match day entrance. Which would you prefer? Because you can't really have both. And the membership scheme is another barrier to negotiate if you are a day tripper.

I did Festwich a few times. It was very good then. It had a great atmosphere. Unfortunately it's a victim of its own success and that unique atmosphere it once had has been eroded over the years. Festwich has gone the same way as Monsters Of Rock at Donington. Less is more.

Who our we protecting are kids from? Refugees? Illegals? Or fat balding middle-age white cuntz on SM? I suppose the people who love to shout this could mean all of the above.

Rick Davies, Supertramp. Watched them at the arena back when it was called the NYNEX.
