    Stand Up If You Love the Darts

    Do not adjust your sets, Scotland have just won the World Cup! To be fair, that's the 3rd time Anderson and Wright have made the Final, just this time they didn't come up against a juggernaut like Taylor/Wade in 2015 and Van Gerwen/Klaasen last year.

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    London had heavy snow at the end of March this year. Yes, the prevailing wind in Britain is a South-Westerly, which gives us far higher temperatures than you would expect at our latitude, but it doesn't happen all the time - this March being a prime example of what happens when the wind turns...

    2017 Tour De France

    The French "Fans" showed their true colours again yesterday. The abuse and booing of Froome as he rode alone trying to catch up was ridiculous.

    2017 Tour De France

    Barguil was the lone breakaway rider in front so, yes, he missed it. You're correct, I forgot about Uran. However, riding at 45mph downhill, it is extremely unlikely they would have been able to communicate until they got to the bottom. Oh and within a few minutes, they were at the bottom, so...

    2017 Tour De France

    The difference was, Froome, Aru and, I think, Uran, were all in front of Porte when the crash happened so didn't know anything about it and, rather than scare the living crap out of them on an already difficult descent, particularly Froome as he's good friends with Porte, the teams didn't tell...

    Sons of Peter McNeeley- Boxing Thread

    Another farce to add to the list of judging controversies - according to promoter Barry Hearn, one Judge "Mixed up the boxers" on his scorecard. I watched the fight and Ryan Burnett beat Lee Haskins to a pulp, winning pretty much every round and knocking him down twice in an IBF World...

    I used to post a bit on here, but I'm in the UK and only really get to watch the big fights that are over here, so outside of tape-delay I don't have a lot to say on big fights in the US. I'll try and contribute more on what I'm hearing over here though.

    The only fight out there for Brook now, is Amir Khan. Khan ducked Brook for years, claiming he had nothing to offer, but Khan is now claiming it's the other way round - which in itself is bollocks, as Khan has no leverage either anymore. They genuinely dislike each other and it would make a...

    Thoughts on the Klitschko-Joshua Heavyweight Title fight at Wembley Stadium on Saturday folks? Thankfully, the "Arctic-blast" the UK is going to have over the next few days (temperatures as low as 30F are forecast) should have past, but it ain't going to be very warm and there's a real chance...

    Boy did they back up that anger in the ring. Awesome fight - even Rafael is talking about it as a FOTY candidate - there was a genuine hatred towards each other and they let it all hang out.

    Rumours from the UK are that Hearn is talking to Klitschko's team about a potential Joshua fight, but it's more likely Joshua fights his mandatory, Joseph Parker, the unbeaten guy from New Zealand.

    Scottish Soccer 2016-17: Smiling on Perils Past

    Time to put my head back above the trenches. Can't say I'm looking forward to this one...at all. Too early in the season, too many new players who haven't gelled and, as CP said, ponderously slow. As I said up-thread, in the Cup Semi Rangers were the team playing the Football, that won't be...

    It's the 2nd time a Russian fighter has got a unanimous in a fight every analyst thought they lost (the other was the HW Gold Medal match) and there's a LOT of "the fix is in" comments floating around Rio apparently. edit : just in - the AIBA has "dropped" a number of officials after "less...

    LL Cool 22: Lower Leagues (Leagues 1, 2, Non-League & EFL Trophy)

    Well, my team in these Leagues is Chesterfield - we've just dragged ourselves out of lower-league 1 obscurity, to headline news by taking on the "poison chalice" of signing Ched Evans. Now interestingly, unlike many other clubs who've tried to sign Evans since his release from prison, the...

    Euro 16 gamethread

    The best England Manager in the last 20 years, in terms of win percentage at least, has been Fabio Capello and the press bombed him out by attacking his privacy. Slow clap to the press.

    Euro 2016: England

    Strongest opposition in the Group? Nope, that, statistically at least, should be Slovakia, who have been on a serious run of results recently (beat Germany away 3-1 for example) and are ranked 5 places above Russia, with Wales actually between them. So, if you go by that, Russia are actually the...

    Euro 2016: England

    "Same old England", is exactly the phrase I would have used. If you're going to go defensive for the last 15mins, you need to have an outlet player to counter and at least be a threat to get the killer second goal, right? I can understand bringing on one of Wilshere or Milner, but at least also...

    Euro 2016: England

    Anyone that has watched Spurs will know that Kane and Ali have a telepathic understanding and to get the most out of them you HAVE to play Ali in the hole behind him, as he makes runs into spaces that Kane instinctively knows where he will be and vice-versa. Unfortuately, it would appear that...

    Scottish Soccer 2016-17: Smiling on Perils Past

    It was striking in the Rangers - Celtic semi, how Rangers, the lower-ranked side, were playing the passing football, whereas Celtic were the long ball bullies. Was that a reflection of the styles of the manager, or the fact that Rangers had a lot of players that were brought up in English...
