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...

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...

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...
