,I literally don't have a clue what's going on

Neither do the people who pretend to like it every time their is a major tournament on. A genuinely shit sport. 

Why do the kiosks close at the end of half time? Genuinely something I've never understood. If they can't serve beer fair enough, but why can't I eat something during the second half? Would also help with queues too.

2 week international break in that as well 

And one in mid-November too. So Spurs on 25/11 could be his next game. 

First time I've had chips and curry sauce this year & they've definitely changed the recipe. Game's gone.

Well, England have been absolutely spanked.

One of them (I'm assuming the one holding the phone) has been charged. 

The whole lion thing is interesting. It’s not really something I associate with Villa & its identity. For me it goes name, colours, ground, then badge.
 

We don’t even sing about being lions. I remember the “come on you lions” chant but I don’t think I’ve heard that in 20 years. And then there’s the very occasional “keep the lion flag flying” but that’s only really reserved for when we’re shit/lost a cup final. 

Not saying we should get rid of the lion but it’s kinda just there.

Feels to me like the purpose of these meetings may have run their course. There's no discussion just small leaks/snippets of what they've already decided to. It all just seems very cynical.

I am just so **** bored by the Panthers. One year above .500 in 7 years. I know it takes time with a rookie QB but everything is just so anaemic and has been for years.

I do think atmospheres as a whole after covid has definitely changed abit. VAR has made celebrations a little more muted or shorter lived as everyone has a quick check it’s confirmed. 
That’s at VP and the away games I’ve been to since covid. 
 

Yeah I didn't even celebrate the Diaby goal because it just looked off. Do think we need a dedicated area for fans wanting to make atmosphere. 

Reminded me of Benteke vs Norwich (2014). We were 1-0 down in that game too and it took something special for us to get back into it. What a **** strike.

Was pissing into an almost overflowing urinal in the Upper Holte today. And then the hot tap didn't work. Dust still everywhere too 

Strange. 

I still think they're missing a trick by not evening out the 6pm and 9pm games. Surely the viewership falls off massively when there's only a few games in the late window. 

I can't see him not playing. I think yesterday's top 6 will start the first game in the world cup vs NZ.

Ben Stokes clobbered 182 of 124 balls yesterday , highest one day score for an England player and the cricket thread was on page 3 

 

guess we are suffering from cricket fatigue after a summer of the Ashes , T20  and the 100 

Been a weird series really - no close games, every one has been a blowout that has gone either way. 

Malan is in some nick, such an excellent ODI player. 

Two Monday night games? Is that the norm this season?

To be fair I've not seen enough of him to know this but from what I have seen of Allen I'm not getting it... I'm sure the stats back it up but 2nd to 5th best QB in the NFL? I don't see that when I see him

Who are the five better than him? 

Mahomes 

Hurts

Burrow 

The only other two who could possibly be in that top five is Herbert and Lawrence. I think Allen is better than both of those and I'd probably take him over Burrow too.

If “laterals” are allowed in American football, why don’t we see rugby tactics used more regularly?

There's starting to be more of this but it's not too often & it is generally pre-planned. Everything is at full speed in each play so it's a lot harder to do. 

Brian Burns about to have the Panthers' pants down. Should've signed him to a new deal months ago, or traded him when the two firsts were offered. We've done neither.

Snowdon this weekend. I’ve heard it’s pretty easy but never done a hike before.  Any tips ?

If you're doing the Llanberis path I did it in a pair of trainers. I thought the first mile or so was the hardest, after that the majority is a slow incline. Take some high factor suncream and apply it regularly because it might not feel warm halfway up if it gets a bit windy but you'll be ravaged by the sun (I found out the hard way). 

Take some snacks and a big bottle of water- there's only a hut halfway up and at the top.

Goff is seriously underrated IMO. He isn't flashy but gets stuff done.

He's shown he can be a relatively safe pair of hands under very good OCs but he is pretty limited. Panthers missed out on Ben Johnson last season as he opted to stay, can't imagine him not being a HC this time next year.

Matt Berry, being very Matt Berry from the latest series of What We Do In The Shadows

 

Is this on anywhere in the UK (legally) yet?

Taps in the toilets at the entrance for K1/K2/K3 not working. Really nice to go for a piss and not to be able to wash your hands.
