THE BRITISH THREAD II

Well, in those days it was still black&white, with just one-and-a-half BBC program and Southern TV (ITV).

But even today: no goal is means no goal

(I'm enjoying catching up on this thread today)

(I'm enjoying catching up on this thread today, especially re Boris)

The resemblance of Johnson and Trump are fascinating.

They're both bloody dangerous idiots.

From this day forward, henceforth for the rest of the year, nothing will ever be the same again.
Manchester City play Manchester United in the lunch-time kickoff, and for the first time in four years, Rangers play Celtic in Glasgow.
Blood and snot will fly. There will be a spike in assaults and violent crime, not only in Glasgow. Probably in suicides too.
May the best teams win.

You'll be happy (at least just now) I suppose

I'm not, together with hundredthousands others:
I used to watch Premier League on Sky - a couple of matches were broadcasted live every match day.
Until this season.
Obviously, Sk Germany paid too much for the first Bundeslige matches. The only Premiership ship we can watch is that of Liverpool ... as a review the following day or even later (they sponsor Klopp)

So I've subscribed now to an internet sport broadcaster (DAZN.com) and can watch all matches in even more leagues as well as many other sport events. Live.
But not today - their servers are down (obviously due to the immense traffic) (Which, however, got them in top of twitter hashtagsvv )

I'm not happy. We're playing Arsenal, and short of a miracle, we'll get thrashed.

It's back again

Super Blues, three away points. It'll be on MoTD tonight.

Rangers evidently are not up to speed yet for the Premier League. I hope the Glasgow Police are not too busy this evening. And the emergency wards.

We wuz robbed.

You're still a jolly good writer, McTag.

Jake Hesketh scores his first top flight goal.

Seems like a nice lad. I wish him well in his chosen career.

It's nice seeing a young local boy get off to a good start.

Happy 358th birthday, tea!
On 23 September 1658, the London republican newspaper Mercurius Politicus carried the first advert for tea in the UK, announcing that a “China drink called by the Chinese, Tcha, by other Nations Tay alias Tee” was available in a coffee house in the city.

Johnny Vegas still moans about losing that gig to the monkey.

Cod may have regional accents, scientists sayWell, I already knew why the river Mersey runs through Liverpool ...

As for the Liverpudlian Scout movement....

Inter Milan! Inter bloody Milan!
