    Their heyday was a little before my time but I've been spending the afternoon reaquainting myself with the Pogues - three bloody brilliant albums to begin their stretch with.

    The RFU didn't go nearly far enough - the directors at Saracans should have had substantial (ie. up to life-long) bans from Rugby activities.

    Will this mean that when they get relegated for financial shithousery that we'll also have to be relegated as we won't be allowed in the same division as them?

    Stuff like the Pupil Premium, tax cuts for the working poor, equal marriage then, they must have all been part of some fever dream I had then. And as for the backbench tory MPs who published their Alternative Queen's Speech...

    All players make mistakes and all goalkeepers' mistakes are much more visible and memorable as they invariably result in conceded goals, but she's very definitely saving far more than she let's in. I'm not sure I'd trade her for another keeper currently in the WSL

    Are you seriously saying that this country is currently in no worse a position than it was in 2015? Everything, /Everything/, has seriously declined.

    Just on the not wanting to copy bloody foreigners line - it's a fun fact but true that the UK and the US bascially imposed PR systems on western europe after WW2 as means of keeping extremists out of power. Looking at the political discourse in both countries today makes for a bitter irony which...

    Everton Deducted 10 Points for Breaking FFP

    I'm surprised by this - not because I don't think Everton didn't break FFP, but because it's going to be very hard for Manchester City not to be punished with this precedent. I also think it's really lax, I think there needs to be zero tolerance for this and further down the pyramid clubs get...

    Pre Match Leicester v Watford

    Hopefully Cannon will get his big chance here. Enzo has a very particular set of requirements for his players, up front is the only area he's not recruited for so far but in every other position he seems to have signed excellent players who fit his system to a tee. I'm really excited to see what...

    Is he a striker? I've not watched him closely but I thought he was more of an attacking midfielder - an upgrade on what Casedi is providing?

    This is only an issue for anyone wishing to conflate the state of Israel, the general citizens of Israel, and Jewish people in general. I didn't do that in my comment, but the fact is that there is more power on one side of this - that's what come from having a recognised state, a government...

    It can see how their board would think it not helpful to make a new manager's first match against us. He came close to getting a draw though, and what then?
