New York Red

Us, Ajax, Bayern and Juventus have nine points. That’s it. We’re doing OK.

McIlroy’s impressive win yesterday seems to have gone a bit under the radar here

he does polarise opinion a bit but I thought this stat, from the BBCs website, was worth a mention

“Since 1960, the only other players to reach 20 wins before the age of 33 are golfing legends: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, Billy Casper and Arnold Palmer.”

that’s some company he’s in whether he’s another Major in him or not (and I think he has 3)

 

Played on one of our courses. 

There has never been a person who has deserved an incapacitated existence for the rest of his life more than this scumbag mother*cker. Assassination would not do the trick. Agonizing and humiliating existence would. 

I’ve just read a correspondence between me and Vic last Xmas day. I wished him Merry Xmas and I hoped that he was having a good day. In effect, he said he hoped it was as good as could be expected. 

I thought he was just feeling a bit down, but now I realize that he it was more than that. I should have done more.

Life is too short and too important to take for granted. Every minute is precious and you want every wasted one of them back at the end. I’d like to think that Vic would always want us to have spirited and important debates, and that we would benefit from them.

But he was always one, as has been repeatedly documented in this thread, to have a good a friendly attitude about things after the debate. That’s something to remember. This community, and it is that, has been around for an incredibly long time. We all know one another, albeit in a cyber sense, and remembering and embracing Vic’s attitude on life would be a great one to embrace.

Completely forgot this was on. Didn't see a minute of it. 

Boooooo!!! No commitment. 

Jesus Christ. From the other thread I just thought to myself “no, can’t be”. And here it is. This is such sad news.

I had a few run-ins with Vic years ago but we’d grown to respect and like one another. I never met him in person but we had talked about meeting up for a few beers in Ireland in 2020 when I was going to be there with my missus. The trip got cancelled by Covid and we were going to do it next May instead and meet up then.

This news is truly tragic. A good guy gone too soon. Please, all take care of yourselves.

Not outside of the foot, but same shape

Good call. 
 

Look at the bloody state of that pitch!

The pass from Mo on the first goal was one of the best that I’ve ever seen. First time. Perfect. Stunning.

Best in the world.

Guess what's back. Back again. Cancer's back. Will it end?

Early days, picked up in follow-up scans and blood tests, but looks like Erin's other ovary is under attack.

Not sure Eminem could spit that second verse, to be honest.

F*cking hell. I’m really sorry to hear that. That disease is a prick. I’m wishing the best.

He must have been in his 70's in the 70's - loved a bit of Fingerbobs

A terrible tragedy.

Squid Game episode 6 - Holy s***. One of the best hours of television I've ever seen.

It was mad as hell. I really liked it.

I thought the Bond was decent. Malek was terrible though.

The title sequence is brilliant though. 

Hell yeah. It’s fantastic. 

I’m on the plane watching the original “Shaft”. It’s so corny and bad that it’s brilliant. 

I’m dreading this…

My man!

Congrats me old mucker. I hope you have many centuries more . 
 

I’ll see you closer to Xmas mate. 

How the f*** do you get rid of that stupid face?

Seriously, like? c***ishness is in the DNA of every side they've put out in my living memory.

I never support them. The Europeans are much nicer guys and more exciting players.
