  1. Hopefully Argentina will fail to qualify...
  2. Had a very good team in the early/mid 90's; Atherton, Fairbrother, Wasim Akram, Watkinson, Austin, Crawley, Gallian, Chapple, Hegg, Martin, etc
  3. I've paid my penance since! The glory days of the late 80's are a distant memory.
  4. Blame Graeme Hick for that! It was his 405* in 1988 that got me into cricket! Also the first cricket ground I went to
  5. Birmingham (including Aston) was part of Warwickshire until 1974 when the West Midlands was formed. Historically i'm not sure. Perry Barr and Handsworth were part of Staffordshire until being transferred to Birmingham (and by definition Warwickshire) in 1911 but from what I can find Aston (and Erdington) were never part of Staffordshire. That being said, Villa were formed in Handworth and played at Perry Barr initially so have Staffs links.
  6. Couple of US sports films. Both very good. Moneyball - 8/10 Any Given Sunday - 8/10
  7. Same. The other trailers (Force Awakens and Rogue One) were jaw dropping. This just seems a bit... meh.
  8. I'm pretty sure Aston was never part of Staffordshire. Prior to the formation of the West Midlands, it was part of Warwickshire I believe.
  9. Aren't we always on the verge of a crash?
  10. The steaks have been raised in the pun war.
  11. You can lead a cow to an escalator but you can't make him drink. Or something like that.
  12. On a similar note, and it might make me sound a bit mental, but when I'm approaching a flight of stairs, if I think too hard about what i'm doing I can't seem to navigate them properly and end up tripping or nearly falling up/down them. Most of the time its just natural isn't it, when you approach stairs but occasionally I'll think about the mechanics of it and nearly go arse over tit.
  13. Funnily enough just had a browse of the Bruce thread.... considering we have gone over a week without playing I assumed it would be fairly quiet. How wrong I was!
  14. Non league football never stopped mate.
  15. From memory I just turned off iMessage on any device I didn't want them going to (ie my IPad and Macbook)
  16. They should shut the franchise down.
  17. Xela
