Re: Today's celebrity death is...

It surprised me that Eric Morecambe was only 58 when he died, I always thought that he was much older than that.

Re: ✍️ Welcome Lucas Paquetá - Our Brazilian Magnifico

That compilation is absolutely ridiculous. What a sensational player this boy is. He has it all. It's such a shame he has picked up so many niggling little injuries, because we've been robbed of time with him. We should be moving Heaven and Earth to secure another season of Paqueta linking up with ...

Re: In other news

Massive financial problems at the firm ran by a bloke and his 23 year old daughter, decomposed bodies found inside, some not even in freezers, etc. Just awful. Is there not some sort of regulatory inspector for these places? As far as I'm aware the professional body is the National Association of F...

Reckon so. Takes one of the favourites out of the running .
Can't see London getting any joy at Warrington. Another thumping like at Plough Lane last weekend, unless Wire play their kids.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I doubt that very much, he's a thick skinned Scot, he isn't likely to let a small minority sway him one way or another, if he did, he would never have taken the Man Utd job, or come back to us a second time. Any delay I suspect is down to ironing out the finer details. I think it's fair to say at t...

Lots of good points made here, but is this exclusively a football thing?

Re: West Ham United -v- SC Freiburg - 2nd leg match thread - 14.03.24

If we can play like we do tonight, attacking and stylish, why does Moyes set up so defensively at home, and have us playing such turgid stuff as we did against Burnley? I mean we were at home to relegation certs and that was a first half to turn the most ardent Moyes in into a Moyes out! Let’s have ...

Re: Rugby League 2024

Leeds v St Helen's looks to be the pick of this weekend's games.
Off to Plough Lane to see if London can get their first win of the season against Warrington - more in hope than expectation really......

This is subjective as I said.
We have better players than Wolves, Brighton and Fulham.
That said is the manager getting the best out of our ' better players' ?

It was more obscure procedural guff about her name not being on an order paper (because she's a whipless MP at the minute) and Hoyle can't take a flier with any of that stuff because he's dug himself into a hole over more procedural guff around the SNP's Gaza debate.

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

The Tories have played a blinder by reminding everyone that Diane Abbot is a Labour MP and giving her a platform. If they can find a way to get Corbyn to start making statements again they might begin to claw back some popularity. She's a Labour Party member but NOT currently a Labour MP. Like Corb...
