Good win for Wales tonight, beating Croatia 2-1, with Roberts playing.

Yep, good win that, 2 goals for Harry Wilson. Croatia lost at home to (now group leaders) Turkey midweek too and Wales are now level with Croatia on 10 points. Armenia away and Turkey at home remaining for Wales.

I can see that driving at 20mph better for the environment than 30 mph on a per minute basis but you will be driving for much longer. If your journey is 30 miles, that's an hour at 30mph, 1.5 hours at 20 mph so 50 % longer your car is in action. I can see that 20mph is safer in some environments- su...

When Ive had trouble attaching in the past, its always been because of the file size; even phone photos are too big as they stand.
Try reducing the file size of the photo you have, saving that then attaching the reduced file.

Fighting around Avdiivka still rages. The Russians are still launching utterly stupid and suicidal frontal assaults, suffering huge losses of men and material. Losses are thought to be upwards of 2000 men and up to 58 vehicles either destroyed or abandoned. Yes- crazy action by the Russian military...

Looks like Windsor Castle. Yes he was at Windsor Castle, there was something in a localish Berks newspaper about his trip down here to receive his medal. It seems he's a very keen golfer and has organised events to raise lots of dosh for charities- particularly NSPCC. https://wokingham.today/i-had-...

We’ve got Willie Willie Willie Morgan on the wing on the wing!!

AS soon as I saw the thread title and clicked on it, I started singing that to myself- catchy tune.

My version has an extra "Willie" though, not sure which is historically correct.

Good to see the Barstewards have upped sticks to the Scottish border to try and escape living in our shadow.

Also- Cardiff & Swansea fans will be delighted to be playing all their home games across the Brizzle Channel in England.

Dont think we beat both Palace and Brentford but I think 8pts is definitely doable

10 or 12 would be better

Many Happy Returns to DT, same number of years as me now.
Terrific player he was and, as already mentioned, a particularly excellent crosser of the ball.
I have a mate who is a QPR fan and their fans are equally fond of Dave.

Apart from the little punch up. Not much respect when the Irish player was tipped over the advertising hoarding. Yes there was a big "set to" at one stage following a trip (after the whistle had gone) by a Scot, a retaliatory neck grab by Sexton. The general fracas involved a Scot grappling an Iris...

Kevin Long playing tonight. Played every minute so far this season. High in the clearances list! Good on him.

Jutkiewicz on the bench too- he's had a very decent spell at Brum- not far off 300 appearances incl the loan period (albeit latterly mostly off the bench) & over 60 goals.

We need 300+ to be competitive I think but Butler gone now.
If we don't lose too many more wickets in the next 10 overs, we should do that with Livingstone, Woakes, Sam C still to come (Rashid and Wood aren't complete mugs either).
Still looks a pretty even game at this stage though.

LeadBelly

I'd forgotten that this started today! I see myself as a fairly big cricket fan but, with the footy underway and rugby WC in progress, it's somehow passed me by. Butler says he would've chosen to bowl first if he'd won the toss but (without looking at the records) I think England tend to do pretty w...

Pretty much the tale that came out on Saturday night. England thought the goal has been given. By the time his error was pointed out to him, play had restarted and he couldn’t intervene under the current rules. Major balls up, but if they stopped talking to each other like robots, someone would hav...

I was domiciled in south Manchester 1969 June-Dec and watched a fair few times that side with him, Bell , Summerbee etc. A very entertaining team, Lee was very direct and aggressive (thus winning a lot of penalties). His altercation with Norman Hunter is legendary of course and I believe he was a ve...

First of the 12 singles already underway, drama ahead no doubt. I suspect USA may win more of the 12 than Europe but we only need 4 so must be strongish favourites.
Rahm 1 up after one hole of the first match is a good start.

Hope it aint so but...

Brighton don't like being pressed. Villa are pressing high up really well and BHA are coping poorly with that - as you say. On their left, Dunk isnt great with the ball (especially on his left foot) and Estupiñán is having a 'mare. Watkins is looking very aggressive and sharp, terrifying the BHA ba...

Holland/Aberg just won 9 up with 7 to play! A proper hiding. 3 up in two others and all square in the other. No way USA will be shortening the deficit this morning.

Re the Arsenal goal: both BBC and Fantasy Football credited to Saka initially but both then called it an OG with just the assist for Saka- the right outcome.

Twine is on as a 65th minute sub in that Stoke v Hull game; was 2-0 to Hull when he came on (3-1 full time).

A pretty eclectic music career, ended up being the king of German 'schlager' music in his later years.

What is it with Brighton players. Look very good playing for them, but poor once they leave the club.

Kudos to BHA for knowing when to get rid. Maupay a good example for starters.

Liverpool look really dodgy in defence and keep giving the ball away cheaply in midfield (Mac Allister especially). Gomez doent look anything like a good right back either.
