    And it's still an absolute bastard to get tickets for England internationals at Twickers except for Italy and the token tier two nation we throw an autumn international at.

    Not primarily aimed at Aussies I dare suggest; Lions tour seen as a huge cash cow from the Brits and Micks that will inevitably descend. Disgraceful for all that though, yeah.

    Think the final table actually ended up being a relatively fair reflection of where the nations are currently too, with maybe only England being ahead of Scotland the difference in my own completely unscientific rankings. Welsh be buggered though; provincial sides have gone to **** too.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Not unhappy with Bryan, tbh. Obviously Dortmund was the plum tie, but given we could've got Real, Barca or Citeh, Bryan/Athletico/PSG are all much of a muchness. Sides of the draw look wee bit uneven though, it must be said...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Given it's our first CL knock out stage win since 2010 (also Porto, weirdly enough), I'll still take it, tbh.

    It's been the tightest tournament for a while; not-at-all hilarious Leekist crapness notwithstanding.:ph34r: Going into the final weekend there's a possibility that Scotland could win, securing the triple crown and (mathematically, at least) the title, but could equally lose and finish fifth.

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Only if one's caught, hence the need to check if the doors are locked.

    One would hope even the most callow British imbibers would know to time their heaves to when the cab's red light is off to facilitate their egress and rapid exit on foot to avoid a constable's intervention, tbf.

    Plus they're too busy out raping and murdering to actually file reports, poor little loves. Tangentially related: anyone see the BBC doc on Sarah Everard? It's a great piece of filmmaking but a bloody hard watch; heartbreaking and infuriating by equal measure. Met does not come out of it well.

    I'd guess the copper had his (it's almost certainly a man) body cam running? Couldn't she go down the "it was sarcasm" route a la Terry? Stretches credulity, but potentially muddies the waters.

    Petracca, tbf; I pluralised for (obviously failed) comedic effect. AFL not really your bag though, is it?

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I'm a little surprised too, tbh, but that's possibly indicative of my own biases as much as anything else. I'd have guessed yer Cumminses, Smiths, Warners, Petraccas, Bontempellis, Clearys and Tedescos would have way more brand recognition.

    Football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I mean, Warwick Uni is actually in Coventry (although one can see why they'd maybe chose to not advertise this fact), so it does seem a trifle silly to say Warwickshire has no FL teams.

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Seems an awfully long time after the alleged incident for this to come up now. I've no idea what she's purported to have said, but I will say "foreign football player abusing copper" is the kind of headline the tabs would usually be all over, and I don't recall anything mentioned in the media...

    I think it depends how one defines counties; I mean, I know Dagenham has been part of Greater London since the mid 60s, but in their hearts (and by postcode) I think a lot of its inhabitants think of themselves as being Essex boys and girls; which means Dagenham and Redbridge were arguably a...

    Their old men didn't play for Tranmere by any chance...? :ph34r: Seriously though, with a disclaimer like "I don't wanna sound disrespectful to their dads..." it was always going to be good. As impressive as playing a quarter of a game for yer Scousers as foetuses undoubtedly is, Danns &...

    Quite right too. It's the colour of tories and, worse yet, Chelsea. Although one imagines the Venn diagrams of "tories" and "Chav supporters" have a high percentage of overlap.

    Yeah, fair play to the Micks. Got there a lot quicker than NZ, anyway! :ph34r:

    Yeah, there's a healthy smattering of Australasian talent in every SL club. Each team has a quota of 5 overseas players, but those holding an EU or Kolpak-aligned passport (which includes Fiji, Tonga and Samoa) don't count towards it. So obviously in reality a lot of teams have vastly more...
