Was the flea on a plane?

There were other semi finals of the FA Cup played at grounds that were deemed unsuitable like Hillsborough was?

There were more drunken and ticketless fans at that match than other FA Cup semi finals?

Show me that evidence.

FFS, there's some fucking appalling comments on this thread from people I'd expect far better from.

Seriously, blaming drunk fans without tickets for the death of the 96. You turn up at any football match, rock concert, or any other public gathering and those in charge have a responsibilty. It's like blaming the Bradford fans for not exciting the ground sensibly because they'd had a drink or two, or had entered without a ticket.

Coincidentally comes to light today of all days, but if there's any truth behind this then bloody hell.

Getting closer to some justice, twenty six years too late though.

I think you need him to bring some friends with him. I actually quite like Bowen so F/B is not your biggest problem.

I prefer Hampshire at FB to Bowen.  Bowen is only a shadow of what he once was.  Very solid at times, but also prone to mishaps.  He also tends to go missing in the big games and he adds far less going forward in terms of invention or threat to the opposition.

The NZ Warriors have got a good deal out of it signed Roger Tuivasa Sheck as his replacement. Will be interesting to see if wigan take first option on Sam

Would be mad not to!  There isn't a better FB in Super League, and Hardaker is currently the best by quite a distance (imo).  Would be very painful to see him at Warrington or elsewhere in the SL.
Not sure what it would mean for Hampshire though. Would love to see Hampshire move to 6, with Sam at FB.  That would be some pace and attacking guile.

Is MarioB on full pay while he's pulling all of these sickies?

He's a useless waste of space.  But I'd rather he be AWOL than playing!

Sam's coming home.

I'd say he wasn't the worst. Not sure there was a best for Liverpool.

Also, if Arsenal had managed to get Suarez...

Just so you can get credit for starting the thread? Incred scenes

Nope, Ray still has the OP and shows as the starter of the thread. My posts were merged into his thread

On a more positive note, should we start a separate thread for Mayweather vs Pacquiao?

I vote yay. 

 

Got to be a lot of people interested in that fight that don't want to subscribe to a thread where we moan about Eddie Hearn.
