Everyone is stacking up on forwards. We're playing with 3 nines and 3 tens in our 23...

Saw someone saying he'd been posting about his wife having a scan this week so may be that it was short trip back for that.

Really hate headlines like this. Is this news item also what is driving gains in the CAC40 and the DAX this morning?

Or pretty much anything from Speaking in Tongues

Only in schools? So they are protected from these harms for about 7 hours a day?

Would you rather they beat someone who wasn't good enough to reach the final?

03.02.2026 11:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, they won the European Cup. As domestic champions. Good on them.

Also get more interesting ties along the way. Lot of foregone conclusions in early KO rounds.

03.02.2026 11:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It is a definite penalty. It's only ok to clear out the SH if you clear out another player into him, I think. Whereas he just took out BV...

Not like this edition of City are The Great Entertainers either

Fingers crossed! Mind you, Glasgow have been good for a while and it's not rubbed off on Scotland so far....

That first try was great, end to end in two phases.

Glasgow Warriors are such a fantastic side. Even this B team is brilliant.

You can bet Calafiori would have been charging forward!

You would expect that the treasury would collect more if people weren't incentivised to stuff their pension at 100k...

The problem they are trying to solve is being in a fairly niche sport but wanting to be paid like they are NBA stars or premier league players.

The legion of paying fans they think would watch if it were only simpler aren't out there, and I'm not sure they can squeeze the existing much more..

Also think it'd be interesting to know how much they affect the game. Like was the dagger always coming in that episode or do they throw things like that or the reveal of secret traitor in when they think it will cause chaos.

He's brilliant. If he played for another country, there would be a lot of hype. Or even if there was just any press covering rugby here....

23.01.2026 21:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Definitely. If someone nails it into a corner, you're not getting there anyway..... Anything remotely central and a decent sized keeper has a decent chance.

18.01.2026 22:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

He's going to be presented with the golden boot and player of the tournament awards after the match in all likelihood too....

18.01.2026 21:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Maybe Leicester and Vardy which is a bit of an unusual situation

18.01.2026 00:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Agree. Other than City and Haaland, when was the last time the league was won with 'a prolific number 9'?

18.01.2026 00:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Suit yourself. Pretty rare for a homegrown player to come through and win player of the year.

17.01.2026 18:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Saka and Foden probably count?

17.01.2026 18:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Come into some money have you? Went to Bath v Sarries last season when in that part of the world... Absolutely extortionate.

Would be much easier to do if their prices weren't quite so eye watering..... Went to Bath v Sarries there last season and it cost an absolute fortune

....and funny that Sp*rs are 12th. Kinda slipped off the media radar in the last few weeks but they are still terrible

Oh yeah. But I think people pulling the strings would see a fairly high GC placing as a greater success than a number sprint wins. Even if close followers of cycling don't. It would be very different for Ineos if someone like Kooij was British.
