When they were 2 on 1 and Ricky p cleared it. Next question

We were relying on boro not scoring their from their two 2on1 breakaway situations to not lose 4-1. Teams score from those situations 99 times out of 100. Likewise the numbers of gifts we’ve given away and teams haven’t scored from because of the terrible standard in this league means we’re reliant on poor finishing to not be in the bottom half. Boro were the better team and deserved the win.

They’re not relying on that at all lol. They were the better team today and also missed chances

I thought daggers took up the top 10 most foolish posts on this forum but fair play to you. You surely can’t be serious? Have I just fallen hook line and sinker for you taking the p1ss? If so fair play

WHAT?!?!?!)!)!)!! Are you suggesting we won’t go up. Name any number in the world and I’ll bet you up we do go up

Amazingly no tv coverage of the Tifo. Instead we got to see top, fans and players looking at it. Strange

Obviously we are an importer nation and need to be to maintain our standards of living. But I’ve always wondered how much money we spend via ordering online v shopping locally. It must be huge. Whilst at the same time like you say hordes of people screaming ‘stop the boats!!! They’re taking our money!!’

We are young men who went independently, a few months before putin marched into Ukraine, for a few days in an off peak period. My ex-colleague went as a stop off on some saga organised tour in summer 2015 and doesn’t have a problem. The authorities must be able to distinguish. Undoubtedly what we did must look suspicious

No, because it’s a home league game I can attend! Tbh even if we beat Bournemouth I’ll be able to go to the cup QF if it’s a Fri or sat. The worst outcome would be us losing at Bournemouth and soton getting through their cup match

It will get played in April if either team makes it through the cup

This has worked out perfectly for me, just need both teams to get knocked out of the cup now

With Pakistan, the Indian visa asks if you have ever visited Pakistan, at which point I guess it is an automatic rejection. Is it as easy as putting your passport through the washing machine and starting again? My big fat Russian visa after going to Moscow to watch city play frequently arises suspicion but not much more. It caused a lot of problems in Bahrain but after some intensive answers (no one believed I went to Moscow solely to watch a football match...) I was through. I guess the USA will keep a record on file of any visits to Cuba. With Israel, I would much rather freely travel to the Middle East than go to Israel, but if they don't check anything other than your passport, great..

Brilliant thank you! Won’t be too long in India, been before and done the tourist route. We are doing golden temple, kangra and requested to meet the Dalai Lama. Main part of going there is to watch England in the cricket. Of course car and driver, cheapest and safest way. Haha great minds, I tend to refresh my wardrobe when I go east. Tailored linen suit £40, new set of fitted work shirts £10 each. Makes you never spend £40 on badly-fitting, off the shelf, machine stitched polyester junk from TM Lewin again. All noted on Nepal, thanks. I think time will not allow all of that, but some tips to go off that is better than google! edit - would love to see Pakistan, but much like Israel and Cuba, forever fearful of getting that stamp on my record

Before Guesty got banned, it was very funny

Haha, from 15-17, 2 cans was all it took!!

Bucharest for a lads weekend next weekend. Been before with another group. Cheap n easy. Dharamsala for the 5th test after the qpr home match then Nepal. Any Nepal tips @David Oldfields Gate @fuchsntf ???

No it didn’t. Frequently lost mine as a teenager after 2 cans of fosters

Best make sure I’m around all bank holiday weekend then!

Won’t we lift it at the game where we’re confirmed as champions? I always thought that was standard but can’t recall an example now.

I don’t get how they stay in a job. They are so bad and often appear drunk. Sol bamba is on Saturday

Agreed and yours and others posts on the groundhopping thread are excellent.But I would counter for every one of you that makes the effort to try new things, there are 5 who are ambivalent head-nodders simply posturing online about how much they hate the 'modern game' but doing nothing about it, and 10 who actually like football. Agreed to an extent that UK fans have failed the game, but I reckon most fans (other than Germans) would love our quality of football and league competitiveness. I'd say about 80% of PL games are competitive, most of Europe can't touch that. Regarding young fans, interest is growing according to the 'young and beautiful game' report. 19% of 18-29 year olds say the PL is one of their top interests and that is growing. Older people are static at 21%. This is in contrast to other sports where the opposite is true. Posters like that Dags or whatever their name is write a lot of unsubstantiated waffle which sounds convincing, but actually means nothing.

He's hinted at it loads of times. His comments after Swansea were stark. I think there was a loud reaction at Stoke away from the fans, which appeared to push the players to play at a higher pace, which appeared to push the fans even more,....and the virtuous cycle is in full spin. Maybe I'm being too ambitious with my assessment here.

But the change has resulted in growth. Non league is growing (not checked any stats for this) but elite football is undoubtedly growing. If a material group of people are missing raw football, it is not showing,.You'll have plenty on this forum proclaiming they're 'done with it' like last season, but will still be on their knees gagging for STs and away tickets next season. And if others switch to non-league, how long until they are bored of that and move onto ice hockey, then bored of that and move onto XX. You get my drift.

Overthinking it IMO. It's the slow decline of Western culture into lazy humans unable to do anything for ourselves. Lost all drive and ambition, see some people leaving at 80 mins, start to get FOMO and also leave. Suddenly you have a trend. If you look at videos, posts, comments from the 70s onwards, there is lots of content from old and tired people who are sick of life complaining about the 'game being lost.' It will be exactly the same for generations to come. Football will forever 'be gone' even though right now we are statistically in a boom period.

Politicians all lie, and in this new age of Western decline, none of them are going to make our lives materially better. The stakes have been high for a long time, Trump coming in for four years is not going to make the world go pop, our gradual decline set in long ago and he's not going to accelerate that. Might as well invoke gallows humour rather than tie ourselves up in doomsday rhetoric for another generation. I find Trump rallies far more interesting than listening to Sunak spinning his way out of yet another malfunction.
