WTF is going on ? And more to the point, what do I do about it ?
I hate to tell you this mon ami but the one that is not thriving will not have created an extended root ball. I'll have a small wager you can pull it straight out of the pot with little or no resistance. It's a goner mon ami.Quote:

Absolute footie fest. I love the World Cup even though I'm not overly optimistic about England's chances and I'll be glued to Leagues 1 and 2 even though the Wanderers have totally lost it recently. What's not to like?
Sorry lusty this HRWC is a sham. I'm blackballing it. England have no chance of winning it. The result is pre-ordained. :mad:Quote:

No problem up here with proper football feing played. Ashington are at home on Saturday and then have 6 consecutive away fixtures before the Clarets play again.
Only three defeats, one in the league, one in FA Cup and one in the FA Vase this season from 25 matches. You can stick the World Cup where the sun don't shine.
Still got Clitheroe to watch as well, but while Ashington march on, the wheels at Clitheroe, if not fallen off yet, are certainly wobbling. It looks like yet again, a team that should make the play-offs comfortably is going to miss out.Quote:

If it's for political reasons I think that's a bit hypocritical as the UK is hardly squeaky clean on the human rights/racism/homophobia/endangering workers front what with 12k Brits dying every year just from work-related lung conditions and 1.7 million with long term work related illnesses let alone guest workers drowning in Morecambe Bay, imprisoned by gangmasters, human slave trafficking or British soldiers being found guilty of torturing and murdering POWs. Pot/kettle and all that.
I didn't boycott Russia and I won't be boycotting this one - I'll be watching as many games as possible - in the full knowledge that it's as bent as every other WC.
We have had one or two players leave recently and one of them was the son of one of the coaches, the coach and one if his assistants also left. Within one day, they had been replaced by a guy with a really good reputation who is well known in these parts.Quote:
