Went to baggies-boro in the away end on friday instead of Cov, atmosphere was top notch. we are so lacklustre as a fanbase

Guy who used to sit next to us hated Mark de Vries so much that he refused to celebrate the winner, peak Leicester

Right up there for me. Also chuck in Leo & Schlupp at Spurs, unreal

Not sure I'm on board with this, pretty much all clubs varying between top 3 tiers have significantly swaying attendance figures. Definitely include us and Leeds in this bracket

Define support. Take the baggies fans out the equation and you could hear a pin drop last night

Potts approaching worst ever ashes bowling figures? Caddick 0-146 at the Oval current leader

They always put him on last, for a variety of reasons. It's absolutely diabolical to watch, needs binning off

Not sure they worked that much for 2005, was one of the ECB solutions McGrath stepping on a ball and crippling himself?

Adelaide highest average first innings score in Aus this century (396 apparently), so in these conditions would say anything under 400 is alright, anything under 300 is great 416 just said on TMS for ave 1st innings, Aus batting first average 580 (!!!!!)

Bunting is a scouse ****, don't understand the love in with him. His comments on having the best family in darts, seemingly not as a joke (wouldn't be funny if it was attempted humour), show how arrogant and dim-witted he is. Not strictly relevant but he's 40 years old yet looks more like 70.

Salah won it a few years ago with arguably a barely-above run of the mill goal vs Everton ffs. Unfortunately the big name players seem to get extra points added for name on back of shirt. Just judge the goals independently, not difficult

main question is, is it one persistent phantom wasp or are there hundreds squatting in Ally Pally? Surely the latter, don't buy into one grim reaper wasp running amok so much.

and Białecki the other day. wasp is an absolute collar dweller

Great final game last night, love Simon Whitlock

Bilbao benefited from opposition idiocy/friendly refereeing to get them to SF. Were consistently playing against 10 men in previous rounds

This is a dreadful way of thinking. Team are losing/boring, let's all sit down and be quiet.

It's a tired and basic opinion that gets lobbed about when they draw someone like Rotherham. Of course it's certain to be untrue when examined over a statistically significant period of time. Every single draw people chirp up with: ANOTHER EASY TIE FOR [INSERT 'BIG' TEAM HERE]. Will happily take some stats to counter my argument though.

Hate it when people bang this drum, realistically what is your point here mate? Aside from another one of the big 6 or whatever it is now, everyone is an 'easy draw' for Man City. I make that a 92% chance of an 'easy draw' in the third round

sync with TMS

Yeah exactly my point, the odds will be bueno

Never underestimate Los Pumas. They have nothing to fear on their side of the draw, Ireland are the epitome of WC choke artists.

Would be in NZ's interest to chuck their opening game v Aus. Otherwise their route to final would be QF vs SA, SF vs France. Based on draw betting men should be backing Arg to make the final

NZ SA set to meet in QF of world cup if both win their pool

To do that at 73-0 up is absolutely baffling, psychopath

So Dutch C team > English C team is the headline there. You're missing my point on Iceland. They're all actually Icelandic, born in a country that is one of the least hospitable for football in the world. The miracle is that Iceland produced such an incredible team from a population of 300k. Curacao's population isn't relevant as they're all Dutch
