    Living person you’d most like to meet.

    If you could meet anyone. Who and why? Stephen King for me. He’s not even my favourite author but he’s helped shape my life as I’ve read most of his stuff. My first ‘adult’ book was Pet Semetary. I think I’d lose my mind if I bumped into him.

    Dry January

    Anyone else still doing it? Any benefits you can see/feel? I’m missing having a drink on a weekend but am considering extending it for a little while and see where it leads to.

    David Mitchell’s new book. Unruly

    Anyone else read it? Got 100 pages left. Really enjoyed it. It’s interesting how entwined we are/were with France/Normandy. Also interesting was how we hold up Richard the Lionheart as a shining beacon of Englishness. He hardly spent time in England and tried his best to sell all assets. He...

    Gig ticket prices

    What’s a reasonable price to be expected for Coldplay tickets? They go on sale for Munich on Thursday. I’ve been told 1. I’ll be lucky to get a ticket despite them announcing a third night there and 2. It’ll be £200 per ticket? Really?

    First FA cup memories

    Inspired by another thread on whether todays game is worth watching, I thought I’d make a thread on your first memories. Mine is Wimbledon beating Liverpool in ’88. Lawrie Sanchez nodding in a Dennis Wise cross. Dave Beasant brilliantly saving a John Aldridge penalty. A year later saw...

    Argentinian footballers signing after the Croatia win.

    Anti English rhetoric referring to the Falklands. Can you imagine the backlash if Harry Kane was dancing about signing about previous British war exploits. I doubt much will come of it mind. Still a very sore subject in Argentina. Doesn’t stop the players earning a trade in England of course.

    Anyone ever been published?

    Without being pedantic of course and saying everything you post online is a publication. Any fiction/nonfiction/scientific journals/newspaper columns... anything? If so, what?

    The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A ****

    Mark Manson. I found it very thought provoking. Anyone else read it? I’ve dropped onto The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker as recommended within the book. Anyone else read anything that stays with them for a long time?

    How much alcohol do you consume?

    I’ve cut right down on my alcohol intake but I still probably drink too much! I always drank heavily during early teens and 20s etc…I’m in my early 40s now and it can’t be good to continue to do it. Following on from another thread about how it has changed peoples lives by quitting…what did you...

    Long Covid

    Anyone else lost their sense of smell and/or taste having contracted Covid? I’ve not regained either and it’s been 6 weeks since I’ve had the virus? Starting to become a bit concerned that it’s permanent. Any other ailments that anyone is struggling to recover from?

    England v Croatia

    It’s been suggested that he has gone with Trippier LB of a 4….Mings gets the nod. As expected. Grealish out for Sterling. 4-3-3 with Rice, Phillips and Mount. Foden also in.

    Is Shearer an a*** h***?

    Does he divide option? I’ve heard a few rumours about people who’ve had experience of his company and it’s a negative light. I know he’s a geordie but I’ve always tried to like him. He sometimes comes across ok. Sometimes he doesn’t and I think about some of the stories I’ve read. Can anyone...

    What was your first European Championship and what are your memories?

    Euro '88 for me in West Germany. I was 8. England lost all 3 group games. I remember being captivated by the Dutch's orange kit. I'd never seen anything like it! The Adidas Tango ball. Van Basten's volley in the final....Gullit's bullet header. Immediately going out and trying to recreate...

    Raheem Sterling

    His inclusion raised a few eyebrows last night and it certainly didn't pay off. Don't want to lay the boot in whilst he's down, but he's really low on form and really shouldn't be anywhere near the starting XI for the Euro's. Can he regain his form and confidence in the friendlies? Should he...
