Watched the Sainz documentary on Amazon, loved it. Features Sainz junior and some of the rally greats from his era. 

I use it on a daily basis. I’ll PM you to tell you more when I get a few mins .Having been involved in IT for over 30 years, there are in my mind 3 major step changes I have experienced in that time. The move  from corporate only computers to home computers, the internet and then AI. It is that big a thing.

Anecdote of the day for you. An old neighbour who was involved at the start of IT used to collect copies of Computing or Computer weekly (can’t remember which one). He told me this story about one of the very first copies ran a story which said that the UK would only need something like 3 computers. One for the MOD, one for HMRc and another one some other government office. Nowaday each UK household has more than 3.

RIP, Great player.
Won the WC as a player and manager, same as Zagallo who died last week. Deschamp the only one left.

It will be interesting how that Posh squad looks like by the end of this month with the amount of interest in their players. Today could have been points dropped against a side that could fall by the wayside from February onwards. Either way we were beaten by the better team. Let's get on another win streak on Saturday!

If we were interested in any of their front 3 or their number 14, that would be good move!

What does he do?

He seems to play safe, keeps the ball well but could do so much more and at times it is somewhat frustrating because he is a quality player at this level. When he started at a very young age I hoped he could be compared to other young quality players of a not so distant past ie Will Hughes or gorgeous George,  sadly it has not really happened.

Beautiful. Fully deserve this, we gifted them 2 goals and they never had a look in. Smash Peterborough next please.

According to someone I know who works at Blues, Rooney rarely takes training and the hierarchy at Blues are beginning to lose patience with him, so he might not be there long enough to complete the job.

You mean take them down?

I thought everyone agreed it was going to be sonny Bradley?

 

That’s  pin the tail on the donkey. You are playing a different game.

Congrats first of all. As always say the most important job in your life and there is no training for it. You’ll find your way, don’t worry. All I can say to you is what a neighbour told me when we brought the first one home, time with your kids is very precious, enjoy it because it will go much quicker all of a sudden. And then, one day blink and they’ ll be gone to uni or doing their own things just as it should be.

11 games in charge,2 wins. Tom Brady, please give Wayne a contract extension.

He’s performed beyond my wildest hopes so far. Long may it continue!

He did OK for us, backed the wrong (dodgy) horse Kirchner. I really hope he can take them down, horrible set of fans, they give Milwall a good run for their money

Second half best performance at home by a long way. More of the same please PW. Impressed with citizen Kane and his willingness to take people on as they started to double up on  him and created space for others.

Someone tells Barks the pitch is in good nick, no need to look for divots just need a bit more shooting practice. 

Very sorry to hear this terrible news.

Your unwavering positivity and legendary rallying calls to support the lads through thick and thin on this forum will be missed.

RIP B4

Problem: <add your rant, point of view here>
Solution:bin it

Simple as that. Football was fine for many years, a few mistakes along the way and all well remembered, Maradona hand of god, Henry light touch, Lampard ghost goal.  We watch howlers by players in L1 week in week out, some defying the laws of physics, it’s football and refereeing is an integral part of it, it should have been kept that way. It wasn’t really broken so no need to fix it.

Over 4000 children have died so far in Gaza, according to the supplied figures. 

Either Israel aren't targeting the strikes as clinically as they want us to believe, or Hamas have the most engaged Cubs and Scout movement in history.

I think it as simple as if there is a sniff of Hamas, a tunnel, they just blast it. If, sadly, children, civilians happen to live or be there that’s curtains for them. Gaza city has started to look like Aleppo

All you morons who moan about decisions all the time, hope you are happy. Farce of a match.

Me thinks the football is getting in the way of the VAR sh!t show. We just need a proper howler as a finale like the disallowed Liverpool goal. L1 football, crap refs, Saturday 3pm kick offs and no VAR, bliss.

You could always bring the pro-Warne thread up to the top. 

Clowes owns the club, he made the calls. It's all down to him. If he won't sack Warne he should come out and tell the disgruntled fans why Warne is the person to get us back up the leagues!

Can’t find it. Is that in the Other Sport section?

some say we can’t afford to sack him, only DC knows. DC seems to be proper football man to me, he will know that coming out to speak will be be quickly seen as the dreaded vote of confidence and just add fuel to the fire, so best to keep it internal. I am good with that but make no mistake, the football is dire, the league is poor and with our squad we should do so much better. I have no doubt that DC can see this as well and he’s the man with the finger on the button.

Spot on, totally agree.

But could we have another Warne out thread today just in case  DC missed the other 20

I saw that after leaving Derby Wayne applied for a degree course in law then jacked it in when the offer from DC United came in.

Imagine facing a life sentence behind bars then finding out your lawyer is Rooney.....  

Erm...your honor....erm....

Case adjourned

We are back above Burton, CL next

For the pro Warne, we are only one point behind Burton

For the rest we are below Burton

Not the best game by a long way but a lot closer than I thought it would be. Go Blacks

Please resign Warne. 

He may not be very good at this game but I don’t think he is stupid. Wait for the chop and kerching, or the “mutual agreement”. Some very average managers  have made a very good living out of it, just swallow your pride and smile when the bank transfer hits the account.
