Think there might be one on the loose in Eckington area,as a few male pigs have been sighted over the last week.They seem to be in their mating colours of blue and white.I thought theyd'e become extinct around this way because not many were seen last year.:D

There's a new England home shirt out soon, and it looks quite snazzy. On the FA England store you can pre-order them. They are available printed with the names and numbers of some of the current england squad, but there are also a range ofd past players' names and numbers available too. Gascoigne...

To play since mel Sterland if im correct?? Thats a hell of a long time. Hopefully the first of many more to come through in the next few years.

With the 2018 World Cup delegation here on a visit to see what England's credentials are in a bid to host the 2018 tournament.I wonder if they've got the balls to take them on a visit around that shithole at s6.They,ve proudly shown them around,The Stadium of Light,St James Park,Old...

I was fully behind the FA's decision to stick by Capello after the WC, as i thought he would be a better and wiser manager after his first experience of tournament football. However, if the predicted line up is true and he starts with Matthew Upson tonight, then it is clear he has not learned...

Not seen any mention of this yet so thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention. There's no Prem or Championship fixtures this Saturday (04/09/10) due to the England games so a grass-roots movement called non league day has built up. It's aim is to encourage football fans who would usually be...

7th September in Basel. I know this is a bad time to talk England, however i'm hoping for a new England to come through... Tickets for this one go on sale next Friday. Is there anyone on here thats planning to go? Do you have EnglandFans membership, I do but I was hoping I could get...

Blackpool have today recieved confirmation the paperwork was done in time to sign David Carney. Will he even leave the house in the climes of Blackpool? never mind make it to the pitch to nesh it!

Winner of 2 Tours de France, and the 89 Giro d Italia, died of Cancer on 31st August 2010 Was along with Pedro Delgado, and Greg Lemond one of the three people that sparked my interest in cycling, after an utterly mesmerising 1989 Tour De france. I didn't know he had cancer and had just...

Did anyone happen to catch that hilarious phone in with robbie savage on saturday. To sum up, some guy called up complaining about footballers' attitudes bla bla bla. He then went on to say "youre just as bad robbie, i once saw you in my local sports store buying 7 pairs of the same trainer and...

Hello Have any of you guys and gals been to Milan to watch a game? I'm thinking of going to Inter vs Juve, but know very little about the set-up there. Any tips would be most welcome. Tickets are only on sale from the Inter website a week before the game, but I've no clue as to whether...

Leeds Utd should be fined £999,999,999,999,999,999,999, kicked out of the Football League, banned from competitive Football for 5 years, their entire ground to be sold to charity and they'd have to start fresh from just a pitch, not a ground, and the Billy Bremner Statue to be moved to near the...

http://tinyurl.com/2wat5go Apparently, FC Zurich fans removed a large section of seats from the Sudcurve of their Letzigrund Stadium in a protest against the banning of standing areas in Swiss grounds. What is funny is that they apparently did it whilst under the cover of a giant flag :eek:....

Southampton have sacked manager Alan Pardew two days after they tonked Bristol Rovers 4-0. Here is a linky to it, but at the time of posting it didn't elaborate. There's got to be more to this than meest the eye, after all, winning 4-0 is hardly the end of the world, is it? On Southampton's...

Just witnessed something I've never seen before during tonight's Racing vs Barca game... Barca were in their opponent's half when the ball ricocheted off the ref and fell to a Barca player in an advantagous position. Instead of driving forwards with the ball he stopped, put his foot on it,...

I'm just back from Stamford Bridge. If that's top flight football, you can keep it! Stoke were awful. They made absolutely no effort to get forward, made no effort to counter attack, looked pedestrian and uninspiring. I know it was an away trip to Chelsea, so I didn't expect a gung ho effort,...

The Kinks are to perform a benefit gig at beleaguered football club Sheffield Wednesday. During the set they propose to play their new fundraiser single, a specially re-written version of ‘Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon’ for the first time. This will be the first single release from The Kinks for some...

According to The Star, which is a fine newspaper and not cobbled together by a bunch of chancers IN ANY WAY, there are yet more lickists prepared to invest in Wednesday, or even takeover. Here it tells us about Spencer Fearn who will be heading up a fan's consortium while also looking like he...
