  1. Only 5 known cases. In 5 days, who knows? Remember this is likely to go on for a couple of months at least, especially with no vaccine available.
  2. Nothing sly about it. You are quite literally saying you think millions of people should be allowed to be put at risk of infection of an unknown illness. Think of others, rather than your need to be at Ewood. I assume if Boris (quite acceptably) locked the UK down like Italy you'd sing his praises, contrary to your opinion here?
  3. Have to agree that it needn't have gone on last, as imo it wasn't THE main event. For me, swap the Chamber matches round and highlight the first ever tag team Chamber match.
  4. I saw that Nicky Marker played a game in 2011 for Ivybridge, but fairly sure that's not 'pro'...
  5. Leaving out the Admiral Nelsen, and Sir Andy of Todd is blasphemy!
  6. Are you serious? 1. We're looking at him with a view to a permanent in summer (basically an extended trial). 2. If he's better than what we have in his position, he should play. I'd hate to think what you'd have done with David Bentley back in the day. Or perhaps when we loaned Danny Graham?
  7. 5-6 minute ovation for Tony Parkes. Genuinely quite emotional. Faz spoke on Tony's behalf.
  8. I'm amazed that even at his age and with a failing voice, he can still be legit creepy and intimidating. 'Never turn your back on someone you're threatened by or respect.' *immediately turns away and walks off* I too think he'll fit Brodie Lee rather than Lance Archer (who I view as a sort lone wolf, Vader type of guy).
  9. JAKE THE FUCKING SNAKE, HOLY SHITBALLS ??????
  10. I think the beauty of AEW is it's condensed a whole package into 2 hours, perfect length to watch something without being burned out, while providing a variety of match styles/lengths. Meanwhile WWE is pumping out 7 hours of 'the WWE style'. Even a well-written Raw episode is difficult to completely watch at 3hrs. NXT is great, and different to Raw and SD, but even that feels a bit monotonous through one episode. NXT vs AEW is where the true wrestling excitement lies imo. Keith Lee, Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole, Shayna Baszler, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley are future stars for WWE, with Darby Allin, MJF, and Adam Page are the same for AEW. I'd like to see a tag team truly break out too on either brand.
  11. Only watched the Rumble in the last 3 months. Keep up with WWE via Simon Miller now. While I'm completely sold on AEW, and think they've officially converted me. Even NXT is less interesting because it feels like every match and story is too similar. AEW has variety in spades, and it serves it very well.
  12. I don't want to sound too much like I'm having a go because rasslin' is subjective, but I feel like if you can't buy Cassidy's gimmick, you're taking wrestling a bit too seriously. It's not like people sell the lazier kicks as legit or anything. Aside from that, I agree with your verdict albeit I'm more enthusiastic about them. I think dropping the belt to Mox was perfect timing. After the next PPV, Fozzy go on tour so he would obviously have lost it there. At least at Revolution it was still 50/50. Allin: Star in the making imo.
  13. I can see them doing Reigns vs Fiend at Summerslam (instead of WM) which is probably a better card for it to Main Event. Also noticed that Survivor Series is in Dallas... exactly 30 years since Taker debuted... at Survivor Series in Dallas. I reckon the Fiend or Aleister Black retire him there.
  14. VAR should be as simple as the ref going over to check a decision (for their own satisfaction, nobody else's) on a screen in the dugout. It shouldn't be anymore complex than that.
  15. Really impressed with us today. Good draw, even from 2-0 up imo. I'd be more concerned if I were a Brentford fan that we were in that position in the first place.
  16. Match 1 (European Title): Zack Sabre Jr vs Will Osprey vs Richochet. Match 2 (Elimination Tag): 4 Horsewomen of WWE (Flair, Banks, Lynch, Bayley) vs 4 Horsewomen of MMA (Rousey, Bazsler, Shafir, Duke). Match 3 (US title Ladder Match): Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio vs Angel Garza vs Andrade. Match 4 (Tag Title TLC): Dudleyz vs Hardyz vs E&C vs Lucha Bros. Match 5 (Dark Souls match, HIAC): Undertaker vs Sting vs Mankind vs Fiend Match 6 (Big Beefy Boy match): Strowman vs Keith Lee vs Lesnar Match 7 (Intercontinental title, Submission Elimination): Benoit vs Bret Hart vs Angle vs Jericho. Match 8 (Exhibition match): Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat vs Daniel Bryan. Match 9 (WWE Title): The Rock vs Stone Cold vs John Cena There are too many and too few all at once! Not even sure I'm happy with that card.
  17. Suicide is usually incredibly selfless in it's intention. Obviously, someone contemplating suicide isn't thinking straight, but having spoken to people who come within a hair's breadth, they usually believe sacrificing themselves will improve the lives of their loved ones. It's not usually viewed as an escape from debt or criticism or whatever. It's usually 'everyone wants me to die, maybe I should'.
  18. Cesaro (when briefly signed with Heyman)could've been put on a level of Brock Lesnar imo. Maybe even challenged him at the time.
  19. Bugger me, I only went into the kitchen to make my tea, where did 3-0 come from???
  20. I don't even know what the question is if they're the answers!
  21. Only watched this half so far. Christ we're boring.
  22. No we haven't, it was one hour!
  23. They should rename it after him, and then sponsors can still be used. '... are proud Sponsors of the Tony Parkes Riverside Stand'. PNE do it. https://www.google.com/search?q=sir+tom+finney+stand+outside&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjppunBusTnAhWXwoUKHUvbAqcQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=sir+tom+finney+stand+outside&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.3...2264.5242..5523...1.0..0.173.891.6j3......0....1.........0i30j0i24j33i10j30i10.4F0qK5ndcps&ei=Mvk_XunFPJeFlwTLtou4Cg&bih=782&biw=412&client=ms-android-ee-uk-revc&prmd=imsvn&safe=strict#imgrc=YoQKKCqiaJcrmM&imgdii=AN-o5a6pVIZTFM
