Passive, uninterested, risk adverse, afraid of winning, anti Liverpool style of fucking play.

A genuine privilege to have been at Anfield for the win against Brighton.

For those not on my Instagram. I found these old pictures when I went to Japan, all of 22 years ago. Meeting Mr Inada-San from D1GP and Smokey Nagata from Top Secret.

I'd have given it to Beirne against Scotland. The man was a thorn in their side all day and never left them play at all.

I don't think that there is a debate about this for fans, this is simply a "bad thing". And no amount of BS from WB saying they are "investing" in cycling makes it palatable.

This is absolute bullshittery of the highest order, WB/TNT have not invested in the sport in anyway shape or form, it's just an investment group milking customers for what they can get.

Disposable Revolut card, and paying into a PayPal account is the only way to go.

A lot of us here would be familiar with IPTV and other methods of streaming, so I'd say somehow they will become more common.

So your options to actually watch cycling will be very limited. From what I'm gathering either via Sky or possibly Now TV. Now TV might be the only one that streams.

It doesn't look like it's a done deal by any means yet. But if it is, they will fuck it up like they did with the cycling coverage.

As someone who’s been watching sprinting since the 80’s he’s had the capabilities to be a super sprinter but the application to the craft of one bored with the sport for years. He certainly hasn’t the palmares to be compared to any of the former riders.

Caught a bit of the inauguration on the news, good to see Melania came as Zorro, and Ivanka as an Aer Lingus hostess.
