It’s only the FA Cup anyways. No matter how many times the media scrape the barrel with it, by saying things like “The magic of the cup” and “The FA Cup is full of so much English tradition”, it’s a distraction for the majority and a reserves cup these days. “Cup Final Day” and the meaning of the phrase won’t ever regain its original prestige. Finishing 4th in the Prem makes more revenue these days than winning the cup. It’s really disappointing it’s like this these days, but at least it enables us to make even more excuses LOL!. Yes we were damn awful and there is no denying it, FA Cup tie or not.

Just where did it all go wrong hey? :(.

That reminds me of that cringe word The S*n kept using during World Cup USA 94 to describe the Brazilian players…… “Brazilliant” that word was. Thank God it didn’t catch on, but there wasn’t such a thing as the internet back then.

In the long run, these selfish train strikes will affect small businesses based in stations who’s main income is from train passengers. It will also in the long run affect our chances as a country in boosting our economy by hosting major sporting events. Having a train service which constantly strikes, while their union leaders are away in Monaco on private boats, will be a right turn-off for the organising committee involved. Morocco as a national team and country missed out on being our hosts for 2026, because FIFA said in their final report, that Morocco lacked a decent public transport infrastructure and was not cost effective for the country. Well, let’s put it this way; they were turned down because although they have a train system that always works and never hardly strikes, it needed a lot of extra building onto it so it would be easier for supporters to access all the stadiums. In this country we have a train system that don’t even work.

“Don’t blame us for striking blame the government!”. That sounds like the sort of thing Mike Ashley would have said after a Newcastle relegation (“I’ve been spending money!, don’t blame me!”). That is basically deflecting the blame off themselves onto others, like kids. They are enjoying their strikes and can even seem to afford doing it for six months so far, with their pathetic flags, whistles, coloured flares, megaphones and pathetic banners with slogans all while the idiots lap it all up even more so because of drivers horn-tooting to them, who don’t even use the service concerned. Its clearly obvious why they keep refusing such generous offers, as they love the limelight and media attention their sick actions are creating. Strikers Island we have become after Plague Island, Brexit Island and Sick Man of Europe Island. I’m done with these depressing threads and will only bother talking about NCFC from now on. It’s got to the point it’s just not worth reading or posting in anymore, as everything is all negative without one little ounce of light. Calling this a “crisis” is absurd as well. Read about what’s going on in Ukraine right now, that’s a crisis.

So sick of hearing the word “solidarity” all the time, as well as “Solidarity to the workers” as well as “I support the strikes”. It’s all just an attempt to create as many media buzzwords as possible. People who support strikes are only those who don’t use the service concerned, as it don’t affect them.

- Once had a bloke taking maybe his son out on a driving lesson on Christmas Day last year. Stopped at the end of the road at a junction, did nothing and had to use the left lane to turn right. - Driving along a road in Truro, the car in front just stopped randomly, put on its hazard flashers and confused everybody, just a minute later the car in front worked out what was going on. - People leaving their cars abandoned in the middle of the road during the “cold snap”, before they couldn’t go any further. Should have moved them to the side of the road when there was plenty of space. - A DPD van I generously waved on to go in front of me turning into the road in front of me from the right, but just sat there doing nothing, so I just drove on and shouted “Shall I send you a postcard!?”

If England won, I can only think how unbearable the media would be, with the public pushing for knighthoods. That conga the women’s team did gate crashing their manager’s press conference after winning the Euros was total utter cringe, and I bet there would have been a repeat performance with Southgate in the press room. If Germany won that final, you wouldn’t have seen that childish nonsense. I think we are the laughing stock of the world for many reasons and that is one of them. We already have on our shame list leaving the EU, failure from our government to control a virus and the shi*housery show that is our government for all the world to laugh at, while all of a sudden English national football teams serve as a “beautiful distraction” from it all. Oh, and theres idiots supporting strikers by shouting “Solidarity!” over and over again although the service on strike is financially affecting their businesses for example. Alex Scott once again going on about her bronze medal and it being turned to a gold this summer…. No, two different competitions darling. England’s women or men won’t ever be world champions in this modern age especially with Yes Men like Southgate in charge of the men and North America being a class ahead of Europe in the women’s game (thus ignoring the 1966 men’s team)……. Still….. England did win the Fair Play Trophy though!🤣🤣🤣🤣. “WE’RE NICE AND WE KNOW WE ARE!”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

172 goals in the entire tournament, a record!. Argentina almost made it a situation where they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, but Messi now has a World Cup and the Messi/Ronaldo debate is over as far as I’m concerned. What a match, and the best team won.

Sh*t!

Isn’t it just?, especially when Alex Scott was barrel-scraping over her bronze medal from 2015. Jurgen is the only one with any sense on that team and I won’t miss the way it’s been presented on TV over here. I’ve been watching a Dutch streamed channel on TVmob on my fire stick and they use all the official FIFA opening titles and graphics, none of this in-house tripe ITV came up with being hot air balloons and shells. Its been a good tournament with so many brilliant moments, but the way England threw it away, the nature of Qatar as a country and that annoying oversized trophy in the centre circle before every game has ruined it.

Absolutely hate it. Everyone at work wanted it because they don’t like their jobs. It’s fun for kids, but it’s dangerous and causes accidents and isn’t good for business. I travel to get to work every day now and with weather like this, it’s a nightmare getting home. Thank god the sun out is down here slowly melting it away.

She kinda loved the attention did Gilbert, rather more than actually saving lives. That vaccine also caused a lot of blood clots and someone’s father on another football forum a friend of mine lurks on, but don’t post, said his father went into remission after being given a dose of it and later died, all despite the fact he was fit as a fiddle and would walk for miles as part of his walking club.

This didn’t exactly happen and in 2007 The S*n printed a picture of a Frey Bentos pie saying this is what we will be living on due to the global recession. Didn’t happen at all.

Just what is it with blowing a whistle while striking, let alone let off a coloured flare?. Its not achieving anything, it’s just making an even bigger t*t of yourself than you already were. Shame they cannot choke on their whistles or set themselves alight with their flares.

Really makes me laugh when they say “England’s footballers”, it sounds as if those 25 or so who went to Qatar are the only ones in existence…. there are English players in the lower leagues as well as those who play for England!. It’s also stolen from Cricket as in “England’s Cricketers”, which was used for years before then. The MSM getting all trippy all over last night, I fear might be the death knell of our chances as it seems to affect the team going by past experience. Rio Ferdinand once said that the “Golden Generation” tag put them under pressure and thus affected performances.

France will repeat against Argentina what they did 4 years ago…. constantly trying to get the ball to Mbappe and it worked. He will will the Golden Boot I think.

Wales were gash and the second worse team in the tournament behind Qatar and I believe in the back of their heads, the Welsh public knew this and are calling for Page’s head. They were sh*t going into this tournament, while England had that game against Germany to ride on. Lets not get too excited until the semis, as we have had a cushy run to the quarters already, as Senegal are not all that good really. The run we have had in front of us so far, is like Germany’s in 2002 and they got to the final playing teams as bad as the ones we have had. Not once have we really played well yet and I don’t seem to recall Germany playing well in 2002. Wales this World Cup are even worse performance wise than the opening titles ITV use for this tournament as well as the equally pathetic “France 98 World Cup Rewind” they did. The people of Wales knew this and just wanted them to qualify after a 64 year duck, knowing they would suck.

ITVs coverage is awful. Clueless commentators and presenters, god-awful titles consisting of hot air balloons, shells and oversized World Cup trophies within the graphics. It seems to be this country only that don’t even use the official FIFA graphics during games for some reason, while creating opening titles that focus on the culture of the hosting country. Not a criticism, just an observation as I’ve been watching foreign channels on TVmob to avoid the local broadcasts. What I don’t get though is their “World Cup Rewind” rubbish, just so we can have a laugh at how young everyone looked back then and why go back to 1998!?. The second worse World Cup I’ve ever seen, with 2002 in first. They did not even mention the commentator who retired after the final that year and died a few years ago.

With the exception of Spain, has Ronaldo actually scored in any of those five world cups against decent teams?. I can only recall North Korea and Ghana (both lowest ranked teams in both tournaments) and I forget the rest maybe because they’re pony and went out at the group stage. As for people saying the 6-2 against Iran keeps looking better and better with every result in the other games, really should remember the 6-1 against Panama in which just like Iran we conceded sloppy goal(s), and Belgium could only beat them 3-0. However, we all know what happened when the both teams met…. Belgium were winners in both games and finished 3rd above us. Every game is different, you cannot say England look good just based on one game against poor opposition. At the 2010 World Cup Portugal beat North Korea 7-0 and they didn’t do much for the rest of the tournament.

Seriously I fúcking hate it. I may sound like a miserable old git, but it's really the sh*ttiest thing ever. I'll happily give money to charity, I don't need washed up here today gone tomorrow celebs pretending to be Benny and Bjorn from ABBA, or the BBC news team dressing up like Queen to give money, let alone celebs playing musical chairs in the studio while trying to cheat as an attempt to pass it off as being funny. It just seems like its used by a lot of Z-Listers to try and increase their reputation or get back on TV. Even the fundraising done by the general public is annoying. I don't mean people who cycle from land's end to john O'Groats, that's actually amazing. I mean the people who go into work dressed as a giant dildo or such nonsense (obviously I'm aware no one actually dresses up like a giant dildo to raise money, I'm exaggerating) and their fundraising effort is clearly more about getting attention then actually helping people. Why can't people just give money or make an effort all year round to help others, rather then needing incentives to do it once a year and in a really superficial manner? Oh yes, that's right.... it's Children in Need I'm talking about, or that time of the year yet again, where that yellow bear suit comes out of the bbc costume closet. To avoid profanity like at the start, I'm just going to say "Sorry i just can't stand it". All the fake wackiness, such as someone shaving their head for donations...... blah blah, shut up, thats not gonna impress me. If I want to give money i'll give it, you don't have to create a big hoo har “Aunty Beeb”. Is it really necessary to have a whole SIX hour programme for it too?. Does anyone actually watch the whole 6 hours?; its full of sh*t. Why does this charity get 'special treatment'; a whole 6 hours of advertising if you like, PLUS more on other programmes ie when other charitys barely get a 30 sec commercial on other stations. That’s the beeb for you. I guess its a beeb charity so they can do it, but its way too OTT. It does pee me off when I see a celeb who has the money to buy 5 bmw's, 3 mansions and a jumbo jet while dodging tax begging the 'ordinary person' to give money. It’s only the C list celebs really trying to give a damn. Also, why does pudsey bear wear a bandage?, whoever did that to him i'd like to shake their hand. I hate the way i felt forced at school to take part, by dressing up as something or put some change in the bucket being told to “Surrender [our] Dollars” when it came round. Yep, the beeb love milking this one. Rant over.

In 2012 they kept showing that D’Or perfume advert ALL THE TIME!. It had that song by The Gossip that sounded like the singer was going “D’ooorrrrr!!!!…. It takes two!, it takes two!”. Really got on my **** and made me no longer want to listen to that song. It was actually about prostitution hence the “it takes two” and “It’s a funny way to make ends meet” lines. It still puzzles me, why that song!?. It’s like the person putting it together didn’t look into the song’s meaning. Am dreading the usual repeated Christmas advert this year.

Going to p*ss off the Bake Off clan on the better half’s Facebook and she’s going to take a selfie of us before the show starts, alongside our feet up on a cushion in front of the TV….. as that’s what all those “soggy bottom” w@nkers always do before it comes on TV. Better theme tune also, it gets you all hyped up for the show, while with that other show, it’s just noises of batter mixing and an annoying voiceover telling us to “bake”. Far more interesting people as contestants in the jungle as well.

I can vouch for this; I had some in Sydney a fair few years ago.

This show is brilliant, I just do not get the obsession with the Bake Off. I cannot stand sweepstakes at work, people taking selfies of themselves before watching it and people taking photos of their feet up on a puffet cushion before watching it all posted on Facesh*te. With this show it’s hillarious and gives the public an opportunity to get their own back on celebrities who have annoyed them. Matt has another trial and I voted five times!!!. LOVE IT!!!.
