This thread is bloody good for guessing the age of the contributors. I've ended up liking almost all of @Fignon's Ponytail's suggestions, for example.

Better even than Nessun Dorma as World Cup themes go :love:

Maybe big Shane could ride the horse to training next season, as it doesn't seem likely that he'll be driving.

At risk of being terribly boring, the word "arse" is only really a thing for us in the UK, as well as Ireland and maybe Australia/ NZ. Everyone else goes with "ass" so it stands to reason- if the researchers aren't from any of those places- that they wouldn't find anything remotely amusing...

Exactly that happened when we played City the other week. We have the ball out on the right, attacking the South Stand: flag goes up, ref stops play. City get the ball up the other end: no flag, they progress the attack, we have to try and get challenges in to stop them, risking injury or...

Search for 1 Little Bentswood, Haywards Heath & you get a similar picture of armed police confronting some youths. It’s just round the corner from America Lane so you’d think it’ll be linked to the same incident. Probably not the image Mid Sussex District Council would wish to project of their...

Search for 3 Little Bentswood, Haywards Heath, and you'll get a similar unfortunately timed picture of armed police questioning two youths :lol:

Looking forward to seeing what banners they bring to the Amex next season. Very pleased to see them (almost certainly) pip The Leeds United to the post as well. Hopefully Leeds will flunk it in the play offs too. Sadly the play off contenders are all boring sides who have been up and down from...

Few days in Edinburgh in June (Taylor Swift). Few days in Vienna in August (same). Plenty of Euros and Olympics on TV. I tend to save my annual "big trip" for well outside the school holidays. Tentatively considering Australia in October/ November maybe.

And can run 100m in 11.47 seconds (aged 14). Edit: make that 11.31 seconds (a month later).

It's rare that the on-field ref sticks with his original decision, but it does happen. Went in our favour at Villa Park during the pandemic when Grealish tried to win a penalty right at the end, the ref went "Jog on!" only for the VAR to call him and get him to check the monitor. Review then...

There are far worse teams out there than them. Frank's side have never been the best to watch- they're generally quite direct, and rely heavily on counter attacking and set pieces. But clearly they don't play quite as negatively as they did tonight every week, otherwise that stat of having 31...

Blimey. That was a horrendous game too. Palace 1 Reading 1, I think. Imagine going to an actual football match and having to support Reading.

I was thinking maybe Yugoslavia, so with my list (including Czechoslovakia, Netherlands) and yours, that leaves one more. Sweden? Hungary?

France Spain Germany (& West Germany) Italy Netherlands USSR Portugal Greece Denmark Czechoslovakia England
