The World Cup

[IanDavies]

I remember Barry Davies (I was never a fan tbh) once saying it’s good for the World Cup when the hosts make it through the qualifying round.

I’m afraid this is a World Cup where I hope the hosts make an instant exit, having not only lost all three Group games, but also having failed to score a single goal.

With Netherlands (always decent) and Senegal (they’re alright) to come, Qatar are as good as out already.

Senegal are without their star man, Sadio Mané, but should still be too good for the hosts.

The stadium was half empty by the 60th minute ….could well be empty for the last game if and when they get beat in the next game …2022 the world cup with no atmosphere

It was prayer time.

Monday lunchtime in mid November during a recession and growing job insecurity – I predict the lowest TV audience for an England World Cup game since television was invented.

I think people will tune in secretly to deflect from all the menacing gloom coming at them from all sides and heralded by the big Green Giant.

Alternatively if they have masochistic traits and don’t want to deflect away from the misery coming for them, they could sit through John Carpenter’s The Fog or buy a little red Mac and take the next flight to Venice.

Tomorrow at 13:00
I’ll be sneaking away
Putting the TV on
And secretly watching

I’ll be listening on the radio ….prob being pulled up for swearing like a trooper and banging my head off my desk

[Nathan Hughes]

Just looking at the starting line up
can’t believe Richard Hughes has dropped Jamie Spencer for Daryl Jacob

Actually I’m reading so many work from home since Covid viewing figures might be alright.

Brentford Hope finished 2nd has qualified to the knock out stages

I saw Western Zephyr jump brilliantly and win a Barbury Maiden Point by half the track, Nathan.

You bumped into one there.

Bowen used him well to take any finishing sting out of Brentford Hope

He’s a jump them into the ground sort of horse.

Are England fifteen nil up or are they just replaying each goal four times?

England have seemingly already won the World Cup

[GSP]

Yes laughable. We’ll collapse at the back when put under some proper pressure.
Errors in waiting!

’Barry Davies (I was never a fan tbh)’

I don’t think I’ve ever seen you post something I disagree with more! My earliest sporting memories are from the mid-90s so I missed a fair bit of his career but I used to love his commentary. If I was to list my top 5 he’d be in there.
