HoylandOwl Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Erm. Can we keep other sports apart from cricket into the other sports thread please.. 😀 Quote
Skamp Posted October 14, 2023 Author Posted October 14, 2023 You see this cricket thing amuses me. We can talk about a sport just because Wednesday was spawned from a cricket club 156 years ago but not a popular sport in 2023. If only admin were as fond of a different sport than cricket, we might be able to all join in. Quote

EastCraigsOwl Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 An expected victory for Wales last night Mr Tylluan? Can't quite believe Scotland have actually qualified (albeit fucked up a top spot finish). Was thinking it would be typical of us to win the first 5 and still lose in the play offs 😯 Quote
Andyben Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Scotland v Australia in the fifth quarter-final tonight should be great Quote

I fear for England next weekend Depends how we approach it Beacon, if we try to go toe to toe with them, we will get trounced, but Ireland and France have shown the Saffers are far from unbeatable (appreciate France lost, but they really shouldn't have).

I would also bring Steward back in at Full Back I'd be pasting the words of the Saffers hooker up on the dressing room wall. He said something along the lines of "We've still got two games to go" and (whilst I'm not sure he meant it like this) I'd be telling the lads he thinks the semi final is a foregone conclusion, let's go and shove them words down his throat. 1 Quote

Was hoping for a draw and a search for a new manager this morning. I still think we're looking at the play-offs as Croatia should beat Latvia away and Armenia at home and we have Armenia away (who we lost to at home) and Turkey at home. Quote

Winco Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Look like they’re gonna score every time. Quote
Winco Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 We look loads better this half. Southgate is still a negative twat though. Quote
KrolMong Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 There’s been signs that Foden and Bellingham are clicking together. You’d say that Bellingham, Walker, Stones and Kane are world class, Foden and Saka will be very very soon. Quote

I think how Southgate sets up this potentially brilliant English side fucks things up for Foden. Quote
KrolMong Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Just now, Winco said: Foden not world class? I think how Southgate sets up this potentially brilliant English side fucks things up for Foden. Not for me yet just yet - he will be. But until Pep trusts him every week, he’s not going to get the games to get to that level. But, what is good, is that Pep is trusting him more centrally and also wide right. Quote

Rice Bellingham Foden That's the midfield for 10years, every game, bar none. Then three from Kane, Rashford, Saka, Grealish, Sancho, Eze, Maddison. Greenwood to replace Kane in due course. Quote

KrolMong Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 What does need to happen is that some players need moves. Phillips and Maguire need to go and get first team football in Jan. Sancho needs a move. Luke Shaw needs to get fit, Henderson needs to step away. If Liverpool are going to play TAA in midfield then he gets a squad place, but until then he misses out. We also need to find some cover at centre half. Quote

Andyben Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Plus Toney will be 30 at next WC and have played at the very most 6-8 more England games by then Quote

mkowl Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Opened the bidding for the next EPL rights that would start in 2025/26. I guess surprisingly the 3pm blackout continues - though I suspect that is more a nod to the potential risk of an external football regulator than any empathy to the football pyramid. Main change seems to be that all the Sunday 2pm games will be made available. No talk of regular Saturday or Sunday late evening games as yet Quote
JBO Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Good news no Wednesday games announced in the next batch of Sky games going up to Christmas Quote
