  1. I keep up with WWE on WhatcultureWWE, and watch AEW every week. I would watch NXT just as much, but have cut back on what I watch due to cost. I can see what you mean about AEW being a vanity project, but I just feel like I'm watching a fantastic variety show each week and I like that they try completely weird things. Also helps that Mrs E hasn't ridiculed AEW yet, but she did WWE and NXT.
  2. For me, Benoit was BRILLIANT in the ring but not much else. Looking back, I wonder if after his WHC win, he should have been happier to settle into the 'proving ground' role that Cesaro has now or 123 Kid had back in the 90s. 'If Benoit can get a match out of you, you've got a chance' type of thing. Obviously we'll never know now. So many dream matches that never were involve Eddie and Benoit vs current stars.
  3. The one wrestling death that gets me every year. 15 years ago today, Eddie Guerrero died. The guy who made lying, cheating and stealing something fun to watch from a face character! One of the greatest at 38, and would likely have only recently stopped wrestling.
  4. Alternatively, his inclusion may have helped the defence's confidence, particularly his secondary role as the 3rd cb.
  5. Re: Gent fans saying he's error-prone, there's every chance he just needed a change of scenery, and we seized the opportunity to give him that.
  6. Congratulations gumboots! Just 7 weeks til Baby E arrives.
  7. Resht in peesh
  8. I think it comes from cricket. Something to do with Batsmen scoring loads of runs when the pitch isn't any good for the bowler. Although I don't understand the reasons why a flat pitch wouldn't be good...
  9. My best team would be: Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Ayala Douglas Travis Holtby Dack Dolan Armstrong Elliott 2nd X1: Pears Bennett Magloire Williams Bell Trybull Buckley Rothwell JRC Gallagher Chapman
  10. Even relatively recently, I used to worry about Jason Brown deputising for Friedel. As it turns out I needn't have worried, he saved a penalty that game. Think it was Wigan at home?
  11. Cos it's not the best goal, nowhere near.
  12. Technically Dunn and Samba were Jan signings that year
  13. Oh, the 29 year old?
  14. But Bell barely played for us in L1. Who's this 'mid thirties carthorse' we've signed?
  15. For those of us who cba watching England, how did Kaminski get on?
  16. Ty Dolan Dolan Dolan Dolan Ty Dolan Dolan Dolan Dolan Ty Dolan Dolan Dolan Dolan Ty Dolan Dolan Dolan Dolan
  17. Absolutely. It's kept my wife sane during her time away from school, with plenty of quality content both TV and Film.
  18. Mike E

    Thanks

    Possibly an IP address issue if a recently banned poster had been using the same one? That's the only thing I can think of but hey ho, good too see you back.
  19. You mean 8 players get in before he does?
  20. Tugay's passing. Tugay's smoking.
  21. Ahem, they speak English well.
  22. More promotions from this league and better record of PL survival from fewer games managed isn't 'very little tangible evidence'. It's certainly better than using win %age, which places Pat Rice as the most successful PL manager ever, and places Michael Appleton as a better PL manager than Arsene Wenger.
