Chelsea-Liverpool, United-Leeds, Brighton-Palace all off, rest of the games on (pg 128)

[Alan Harper's Tash]

No ,that was the cost of two pints.

Just a normal night then!

I was in a pub in London this evening and it was like new years eve.

I was on a packed tram coming home from work and was one of only a handful of sober travellers, drunk as skunks they all were shouting away at whoever would listen.

 

[When The Levee Breaks]

What I honestly dont understand is, I can walk down to my local pub. Or shop. They'll be open as normal. I can also walk down to my local town hall and sign a book of condolences Or leave flowers

But standing in a football stadium and singing the National Anthem and observing a 2 minutes applause or silence in memorium is cancelled. At a time when a divided country needs uniting the most and sport has that affecf (see: London 2012, which the Queen was proud to be part of), its utterly absurd.

On top of that, we will be able to do it on Wednesday and likely not again come the weekend.

Tempted to, if only to have a break from some of the incessant arguing/culture war nonsense.

It's an essential public service Ric. Entertainment for most, but much-needed therapy for many!

You were looking up rimjobs?

He's clearly a sky sports employee.

I also think would have been a good opportunity for people to be able to show respect across the country. Every football ground would have been full of people singing(if they chose to) the national ahthem.

It’s completely nonsensical when you think about it rationally.

Was going to watch the live French game tonight on BT, took it off air and treated us to Aus v NZ cricket! Bizarre.
