This is now becoming very real with the announcement of almost all the squads yesterday, with THREE home nations involved out of four it seemed entirely appropriate to start a separate thread.

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...

French media and ( significant numbers of ) crowds - BOO to you back ! Put up anything, just anything, with some credibility or shut up. Sky's sheer professionalism ( not meant as any sort of euphemism ) is not a crime. Guess Chris Froome just doesn't ride for such an err renowned team as Astana, the team o...

Bit of a taboo subject, and I was looking to bump an old thread rather than create a new one, but couldn't even find a horse racing thread of any sorts, so perhaps not, but is anyone having any punts / much interest in Cheltenham this year? SkyBet are doing their £10 refunded as cash on the first race tomorr...

Knowing the number of Scottish friends we have on this forum, I am keeping a low profile tonight. OK. Congratulations. It was a fair result and you deserved to win.

Another great grand tour event , Hugh Carthy of Britain won today's stage and is 3rd with a week left. Probably wont win but on the back of Geoghegan Hart winning in Italy, britain still has some talented cyclists in the post Froome and Thomas era.

Not sure if anyone has followed this years grand tours, but the Giro provided an amazing climax and a wonderful British winner. Tao Geoghegan-Hart has a great back story, wish we could see this in tennis. Hackney boy makes good. I know some have it in for Team Sky/INEOS but hats off to them, they unearth...

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...

What an amazing reception for Doddie Weir. A beautiful moment.

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.....

Surprised that there isn't a thread for this already. There have been some stand out performances from the Brits in these championships, none more so than KJT finally winning the Heptathlon gold. Delighted for her. Think she took Jess Ennis's points record too ? Or was that just points record fo...

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...

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...

Having read a lot of allegations between Mo and Gebresalasie before the marathon and re digging of some of his dubious coaching relationships, anyone else worried that mo has got some worrying stuff to hide ? Or am I just copying malicious rumours and unfounded gossip. I
