It was difficult to qualify then mind. It was only expanded to 24 teams in 82. So with the hosts and the holders getting a spot back then you only had 14 places up for grabs. Probably that and a combination of England being overrated as a national team, as per. All the best English club sides then were usually a mix of British and Irish players.

Those trainers are nicer than the Samba ones they did.

Who the fuck do they think they are, man? Absolutely zero self awareness

It’s insane that the last World Cup they qualified for was 1998. They were ever present when I was a kid. It was harder to qualify then as well. Didn’t they qualify for 5 in a row or something like that prior to missing out in 1994?

Here, man - don’t worry about it. Sounds like she was in full agreement

Because it isn’t. You need to prove political motivation I think. I would think that there either wasn’t any or it was too difficult to prove (as per the CPS) whereas the murder itself was not difficult to prove. Although I have absolutely zero doubt the reporting would be different and more widespread if the circumstances were reversed.

Just needs another 6 weeks to get up to full fitness then he’ll be flying

I had a look and she was in her mid-40s when they ENDED making Open All Hours Mind, that was a lot older back then than it is now

We’re at the age now where we’d probably think Nurse Gladys was fit

Bottom was gash. And that’s all I’m saying on the trans issue

Either that or living in a commune with (or the basement of) Nick Kielce-Poland.

Even AI can’t come across as fake as Steven Bartlett does

My condolences, TP. That’s awful news

Especially a loan deal. Obviously the Wissa situation has been a blow but it’s probably lead to a lot more game time for Osula. I’m not sure he’s the answer or ever will be but he’s been quite impressive and already looks better than I gave him credit for before this season

Just a general at this thread

Went for McDonald’s with Adam Pearson in retaliation

Pinot Grigio actually

I really liked him in that tv film, which I think he also wrote, where he played a character based on his own father

Agree on women’s cricket. Also would add it gives people the opportunity to see international cricketers on terrestrial tv. But the negatives far outweigh the positives imo. And I know I’m a bit of traditionalist when it comes to cricket but the English test summer being over at the end of July / beginning of August is sacrilege imo. And they’ve even done that when you’ve had the (financial) big guns in Australia and (more recently) India touring. Also, when it started the strategic partners could only hold a 49% stake. But that’s quickly been dispensed with.

I think he’s great tbh. And he’ll know exactly what other coaches are getting. The owners of the 100 franchises are all dodgy venture capitalist outfits anyway. It’s a load of shite and has completely fucked up the English test summer too

I quite like him despite his comedy. He’s actually a pretty good actor. That’s ridiculous for all sorts of reasons though. Although I suspect it’s more of an instrument to stimulate debate than a genuine aspiration. How would all black British people qualify anyway though? There will be those with African heritage who can’t prove (or will have) any link to the slave trade.

It’s the VIP area
