PHILINFRANCE

Very similar to mine, I suspect, although I can't recall ever getting a 2. I am pretty sure, however, that I have had more fails. As I have mentioned, I far prefer QUORDLE, which I find more of a proper challenge - also, I have never failed to complete QUORDLE.

I know what you mean, but, but back in the 1970s, his Sunday morning radio show was really enjoyable, as were his later weekday morning ones, The Radio One Breakfast Show. Very similar, in my opinion, to Chris Tarrant in so far as it concerns his radio show and real life persona - a not very interesting fact, but I was actually present in the pub that lunchtime he had one ? too many and was stopped and arrested for drink driving.

Completely lost me. Would you like to explain?

Isn’t he the young, promising winger we got from Wrexham? He went out on loan and then left permanently on a free, or a very low fee. Oh, and Congratulations on your newborn.

I have just read your post, and I am extremely envious that you managed to take in a Test at Galle. I visited several years ago, but unfortunately outside of the cricket season A beautiful town and it seems an absolutely idyllic venue for a cricket match.

How about this for an extremely lucky guess. Wordle 436 3/6 ?? ?????

Pretty Damned Good? A bit like PDQ.

Or Naismith?

I know it is extremely puerile, but I always laugh when I see that, even though I know I shouldn’t.

Whilst I understand the general thrust of your post, I am struggling to understand the reason for your virulence, especially when it is directed against @In the Net, who, from what I have read, makes two valid points. Firstly, she has little or no interest in bragging about or overstating Rovers’ supporters figures, home or away, as she is more interested in the football itself - sounds reasonable to me. Secondly, rather than supporting JB for being a ‘wife beater’, she is merely questioning how you ´know´ this to be a fact as the Court case has yet to be heard, which, again, seems quite reasonable to me. Finally, ending your post by calling @In the Net ´Pikey’ probably says more about you than the poster with whom you are arguing.

Thanks for that; a very interesting insight. It also provided a very nice, quite heartwarming story. https://www.sgscol.ac.uk/news/Exstudentturnedfamousfootballermakesnostalgic I can't remember Simon Panes ever playing for City, though.

It’s the same in cricket. Too many to mention, but Gower always comes to mind - quite rightly, in my opinion.

I've been out since just before the start, but I saw the toss just before leaving and would have said 'foolhardy', unintelligible even. South Africa's bowling attack destroyed England twice in the first Test; this morning's overhead conditions were conducive to their fast bowling attack, especially as England would surely have been petrified at producing a repeat performance, yet they picked an extra spinner and chose to bat first. I came back just after England started batting, and when I saw that Lees was out early, I feared the worst. To be fair to Crawley, though, he is still there, which means we have an opener ready to start again tomorrow morning.

Huh? I always thought Trevor was Mark's father.

Do you know, I was really pondering when I read your initial post, thinking how strange it was that your son or your daughter were Liverpool fans.

That sounds very much like the Nigel Pearson we have here.

I may be mistaken, but didn’t they play in green in their cup match against Burnley a few years ago, the one in which Joey Barton played?

Both. FFS for a silly post and Get In for a goal from Semenyo.

From the BBC site. Wycombe 1-2 Bristol City Bristol City breaking out their second new goal gif of the night. Kane Wilson was a summer signing from West Brom.

Why do you say that? It looked to me that Tanner got turned, a deep cross to the far post and a free header.

Is he any relation to Mark and Trevor, or is his name just a remarkable coincidence?

On a (vaguely) related subject, I see that Mr and W Mrs Barton are proud parents once again, a baby boy. I wish happiness and good health to all three, and, perhaps somewhat churlishly, wonder what bearing this happy event might have on Mr B’s upcoming Court case.

OK, sorry about that. Didn’t you sometimes use Subbuteo players to demonstrate tactics, or am I still confused?

Very sad indeed; apparently, he suffered a heart attack. Aged 37 and so fit.

In principle, I agree with your comment entirely, and it is certainly not something I would normally do. It has been mentioned by several knowledgeable posters on this forum, however, that the three players I highlighted were all suffering before or after Saturday’s game. Weimann was apparently shattered before the match, so I doubt very much he would be risked before Blackpool. Atkinson appeared to be struggling with a groin injury, so ditto. And, finally, poor old (young) Tommy Conway ran himself in to the ground and was kicked from pillar to post, so, despite his current rich vein of form and, I am sure, a desire to add to his goal scoring spree, would surely be best advised to rest and recover for Blackpool. To clarify, my comment wasn’t aimed at the poster, rather at the article from that awful journal to which he provided a link. Still, I suppose we shall all find out later this evening.
