I don’t follow football so please don’t pay too much attention to this comment, but it must be very galling to be beaten four nil by our lot, or is this lot a whole lot better than our last lot?
Depends what you mean by last lot.

We got to the semifinals in the World Cup and the club level records of all players is pretty awesome. I’m sure the Ukraine team are nursing bruised egos this morning but hopefully they also feel proud as they got further than most would have predicted and gave football fans everywhere some great entertainment over the past few weeks.
 
Not to mention iplayer, and various online services, ITVhub, Quest etc etc

Lots of programs are dross of course but we are light years ahead of what we had years back

And even in our Cornish desert we get freeview ;-)


So can't you get the 100 plus freeview channels in the Cornish desert Phil ? 😏
 
Hmm...I missed this post earlier and it's nonsensical imo.. The current crop of F1 cars are severely restricted on the type of "driver aids" they are allowed to have. The following are all banned.

* ABS (banned a long time ago)
* Traction control
* Active suspension
* Brake steer
* CVT gearboxes ( type of automatic gearbox)

and the fuel used is highly regulated for several reasons e.g. the highly tuned engines won't run on it and to ensure a level playing field, at least it bears some resemblance to the fuel we use, left to their own devices it certainly bear a closer relationship to rocket fuel.

They are allowed power steering and without that the cars would be undrivable due to the width of the tyres.

The one sentence in your post that does disturb me and suggests a reason for your attitude is " then we'll see if that little upstart from Stevenage is any good....."
Whatever your reasons and I sincerely hope they aren't what I think they might be, you're very wide of the mark, the "little upstart has done very well and on pure ability which is why he was signed up by Mercedes as a kid, He didn't have a rich daddy who bought his way into racing unlike numerous others, talented of not, read Verstappen, Rosburgh, Perez, Norris and Mick Schumacher as examples.
I suggest you do a little research before spouting rot.
And don’t forget Stroll!
 
Well, I must say that the supporters (if they're still around), do seem
awfully quiet considering last night's result...:dunno:
 
As supporters we're all very happy at was was not only a great score line but a polished performance, but that would go straight over the heads of those who don't like football, that's up to them and there's little point in preaching to hardened sceptics, I for one don't care and will as usual be glued to the screen along with the millions of other supporters for the match on Wednesday. Come on England.

No one remains great all the time and this year it seems the opposition must have fallen to a low enough level so we stood a chance, or perhaps they were so accustomed to our usual abysmal performances that they just turned up thinking we are not very good but I bet they are worse.
 
Despite the plethora of life style programs and other rubbish on various channels, there is now the opportunity to play a vast number of programs on demand at a time that suits you

Days gone by, Top of the Pops was 7pm on a Thursday (if memory serves) and if you missed it, that was that, now we can watch much of the content of TV as and when it suits us

And then there are DVDs and other recorded media plus the likes of youtube

So yes we are light years ahead in what we can now watch compared to years ago


Depends if you prefer quantity or quality.
 
You must have a very old radio. Test match special is only on long wave, they broadcast their normal schedule on FM. My van (2009) doesn’t even have LW.
I doubt anyone likes everything that is broadcast on tv/radio. Luckily there are other channels…
TMS is on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra on DAB radio, too

Best team usually wins.
England are playing well. We have a good squad.
Haven’t let a goal in yet
Rated way above Ukraine.
Tournament football often throws up surprises. You always need a bit of luck along the way.
 
Cricket on the radio always reminds me of the early '70s, lying on the beach in blazing sunshine (most of my waking hours outside of work) with cricket on the radio a little way away. Radio one, radio two and radio three a little way away in other directions. :LOL:
