  1. https://www.sportbible.com/football/football-news/world-cup-ronaldinho-thierry-henry-kaka-england-796749-20240205 New over-35s World Cup is being held in England this summer with some absolute legends taking part Jack Kenmare Some of football's all-time greats are set to take part in an over-35s World Cup tournament in England this summer, with Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry and Kaka being lined up to feature. At the start of June, an eight-team tournament involving England, Argentina, Brazil, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Uruguay will be organised by the Elite Players Group, according to a report from the Daily Mail. The EPG, a group of former footballers and sports businessmen, have come together to create the EPG Cup – and the founders are set to feature in these star-studded games. In fact, the founders will captain each country, with Steve McManaman leading an England team that have enlisted Michael Owen, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, David James, Frank Lampard and Robbie Fowler. The other captains include: Esteban Cambiasso (Argentina), Emerson (Brazil), Christian Karembeu (France), Kevin Kuranyi (Germany), Marco Materazzi (Italy), Michel Salgado (Spain) and Diego Lugano (Uruguay). dit: Getty The games will certainly differ from the much-loved Masters Football format. They will be 11-a-side over a 70 minute period, with teams being able to use roll-on substitutes to make use of their 18-man squads. So when and where? The venue is still being finalised, according to the Daily Mail, but talks have already taken place with 'some of the Premier League’s biggest northern clubs.' The quarter-finals are scheduled to be played on June 4 and June 5, with both semi-finals on June 8 before the final on June 11. Topics: Football World Cup, England, Spain, Italy, Brazil
  2. They've been really bad ever since the Ashton Boys football tournament last year.
  3. I run through there fairly regularly - the state of the paths are really poor. I thought part of the AG redevelopment was that City had to make good and maintain those paths. But I guess not!
  4. Homepage - Bristol Light Festival If you are in or close to Bristol this is well worth a few hours of your time. And it's free!
  5. Didn't the glove manufacturers go bust a month or two ago? *edit* yes Pittards staff to be made redundant as firm shuts down - BBC News
  6. Yeah done both quite a few times. Decent places. I think they used to have Pata Negra on Corn St too but think that closed a while ago
  7. That would be worth seeing!
  8. Went with 'er indoors at the weekend. Train up& back. Stayed in Stratford. Gig friday night. Saturday at leisure. Absolutely bloody loved it. Drinks & Food not outrageously priced and the venue was very clean & didn't feel too claustrophobic as some places can. I would go back in a heartbeat. Absolutely recommended.
  9. The turning for the Orchard/SS Great Britain is before the bus gate so you can still drive to the Orchard From BCC : The bus gate will be installed immediately to the east of Gas Ferry Road, so cars can travel eastbound on Cumberland Road up to this point, which also means access by road to the SS Great Britain will be retained from both directions Cumberland Road stabilisation and bus gate update (bristol.gov.uk)
  10. Always like Sheedy but probably best for all parties that he crosses back over the bridge.
  11. Always found the Ox very reliable. Lovely & atmospheric down there too.
  12. Until they announce the remaining acts, they ain't selling many more tickets. What's announced so far is a bit underwhelming. Needs the next tranche of acts to be something a bit different and more relevant.
  13. We're a front foot, top-6, promotion chasing team. I predict 5 wins from those 4 games.
  14. I had it! This has absolutely made my day. Thankyou so much for posting this. COYR
  15. It's effective closure now just loads more and more traffic onto Coronation Rd on the opposite side of the cut.
  16. If that was the worst language you picked up from it you did well.
  17. Just a quick FYI - there are roadworks on Winterstoke Rd outside Imperial. Traffic lights causing queues alreday.
  18. Only if by some bizarre reason that the ghost of Bruce Forsyth has suddenly become their manager. . .
  19. Capacity crown in BS3 under the lights - the Gate should be bouncing, I just hope we don't concede an early goal and it goes flat. Alternatively an early goal for us would get our tails up and who knows what could happen from thereon in! Let's show everyone what we're about. Big night too for the pubs of BS3, don't forget! And those with parking spaces rented out ha ha
  20. . . . and don't forget our world class HPC. Thanks to the Lansdown family for their magnificent support.
