Dad used to take me swimming in East Ham Baths late afternoon on Saturdays. Afterwards we'd go to Chan's and get a Chinese takeaway for the pair of us, my Mum and my brother. Invariably the late evening papers would be delivered to the restaurant while we were waiting, and we'd sneak a look at the f...

There were a lot of projectiles and yes some of them got through which hit an airfield I believe but why on earth would the Israelis retaliate against something which merely tested their defences ? - Iran didn't target civilians and no one was killed . Unlike the IDF who killed 33,000 Palestinians ...

I don't know just how accurate your post is Pinky, but I hope every word of it is true.

I think you're reading way too much into Wilson innocuously holding Earthy off there and nudging him slightly to the side. It was Alvarez leaping through the air feet first, kung fu kicking the ball at head height that did for Earthy. Agreed. I can't blame Wilson for that in any way. The Tarkowski ...

For what must be the definition of 'weird' go to BBC Sounds or I Player ( sorry, if someone else could do a link I'd be grateful). Here you will enjoy a wide ranging interview by Chris Mason with that prominent polymath Liz Truss. Afterwards I'm sure you'll want to rush out and buy the new book she...

Former England spinner Derek Underwood dies at 78. One of the greatest. RIP Deadly Derek.

One of the greatest spinners ever to play for England. RIP Deadly Derek.

This is surely the most idiotic post to date. You cannot seriously be advocating a nuclear strike?

Arteta on the touchline with a face like thunder.

A good end to a crappy day's football.

Breathable air. I look back with wonder a those bright clear lockdown days, where the London air was so clear it felt odd to breathe it. The permanent throat-clearing London cough disappeared, and cycling through the city streets was a joyous spirit-elevating experience. I suspect many of us born i...

Only 2 horses dead at this year's meeting, so better result than last year.

Struck by the hypocrisy of our (The West) leaders so swift with the condemnation of Iran's little pantomime attack. Iran tried to get a UNSC condemnation for Israel bombing their sovereign territory in Damascus, the USA, France & ourselves blocked it. Days later the same leaders all about 'cond...

Just watched the Bournemouth v Man Utd highlights, that hand ball :rofl: it’s hilarious! Ref couldn’t wait to get Man United level, it’s absolutely rotten :thdn: Have to say I thought it was handball ..... yes, the ref was quick to give it, but I thought it was the right decision. Opinions, eh? :sm...

We can expect, and i would support, a massive retaliatory response from Israel. Even the use of a tactical nuclear weapon should be considered as an option if there is any credible intelligence to suggest Iran may be too close to the bomb themselves. You'd support nuclear war Pinky? Jesus Christ.

Toney is a busted flush. 2 years ago absolutely.... end of this season, no thanks. At least, not for more than £15m.

This would be over a lot quicker if each of the high powered executives just wore badges saying "Don't remember - sorry".

That said, I'm looking forward to Vennells getting in the stand - she'll be crucified. Hopefully.

It's touched on in the Music Film and TV thread - got about 4 posts, which is 3 or 4 more than he deserved.
