Long overdue I think, better than bundling all sorts into the Leeds and non league thread. I see, after all the speculation, Graham Potter has just left Swansea to join Brighton, signing a 4 year deal. I know everyone wants to progress in their career / life and the lure of the Premier League would be big...

This pretty topical and fortunately getting lots of press because of the plight of Dulwich Hamlet FC, there are lots of great things about Hamlet, they get massive support for step 3 (the 7th tier of English Football) gates often North of 1500 generally a good gate at that level is 300-450. It is a genui...

PDC World Darts Champs

Anyone been watching this? Unfortunately the great man Dennis Ovens was just knocked out. The upside of this is the draw is now wide open for an unknown to come through the draw. The young prospect Phillip Taylor has had some success in recent years and might fancy his chances now Ovens is gone, whilst t...

Gutted to see squash lose out on getting into the Olympics, and to breakdancing of all crazy things. For anyone interested, the PSA World Championships are being played this week, with the Grand Central Station at Chicago hosting the main matches and final stages. http://worldsquashchamps.com...

With all respect to our Scottish posters on this forum, but wasn't that Japan-Scotland match just amazing????? You can't stop smiling for Japan - a superb show so far, and a superb match today. And given what they've put with in the last 48 hours.....

The Ashes

Second test starts in the middle of the night - best chance for England given it is a day/night match in cool conditions England's seamers should benefit - let's hope the batters can finally get some big runs.

So Leicester City have duly won the Premier League with two matches to spare  After their great escape from relegation last season, they started this season with a new manager in Claudio Ranieri and were duly priced at 5000/1 to win the league. In front for most of the season, that bubble just ne...

Hats off to this guy, people may remember he lost both his legs in a horror motor racing crash 2 years ago, aged 17 at the time. Hes today won the Pau GP in euro formula which is something like formula 3 and is clearly a great talent but also an inspirational person. There was a documentary on him and his jour...

Coupe de France v FA Cup

One maybe aimed towards Coup Droit! We over here always think of the FA Cup as the top club cup competition. But looking at the French version, it seems to run ours pretty close in terms of number of entries, upsets over the years, chances for lower level clubs. As someone with links both sides of the...

Knockout stage.... Great win for my team (Man U) last night in a tricky away tie against Lille. It was a scrappy match, one of the worst pitches I've seen. We were a bit sloppy in defence and Lille were in control for most of the match, had a goal correctly disallowed in the 2nd half - was a great decisio...

Masters Golf 2019

Of all the golf events, this is the one I hold at the same level as say Wimbledon in tennis. Albeit not sure I like much of what goes on around Augusta and the attitudes in terms of diversity, lets leave it at that as it clearly is unacceptable in this day and age. Anyway, Iain Carter writes in the BBC website...

I see Chris Froome has won todays time trial and looks certain to win the Vuelta now - amazing job to win both this and the TdF in one year, a bit like winning Wimbledon and the US Open in the same season (if the Giro is the French...not sure what the Aus Open equivalent is, maybe the World Championships).

I have only just taken time to read more about the tragic story of Ellie, our snowboarding young talent who took her own life on her 18th birthday. Such a sad story and someone who will clearly be tragically missed. As a Dad of a 20 year old boy and 16 year old girl, I can really feel the pain of those who loved...
