OldBerkshireBoy Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 If I`ve understood that graphic correctly might it be because some are showing 6 or even 4 out of 12 rounds completed so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 How about paddleboard bowling, 10 paddleboards in the proper formation and a stella fuelled hireboat? A bit of side windage and it would be a strike every go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may joke , but with the addition of such “sports” as beach volleyball , snowboarding , bmx etc in recent olympics I wouldn’t be surprised at all . I say bring back the old village fete favourite of tug-o-war into the Olympics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydraser Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I caught a bit of the fencing the other night, wow how that sport has developed. It used to flow a bit more back in the day. Now it seems to be two seconds of action interspersed by a period of removing face gaurds, fist pumps and shouting at the coaches. And by both players, whoever won the point!

Heron Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I would like to think most of the season! Where else would a newly promoted team have Liverpool, Manchester City, and Leicester City as the first three opening games of the season. The only conclusion I can draw is that the FA do not want the likes of Norwich City in the Premier League, there is something wrong that leaves nasty smell.

Chelsea14Ian Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Don't think that's the case. What is clear is Norwich's spending or more to the point, lack of spending. The prem is very expensive and often teams will yo yo from the Premier to the championship. I wish them well and hope they remain.Of course its early days let's see.

The fact that they’re unlikely to win anything either won’t attract the calibre of player they’d need to succeed and if they develop a home grown player of quality, one of the larger, richer clubs will tempt them away with an offer that a club like Norwich won’t be able to turn away. At least they’re above Arsenal at the moment!! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Would rather Norwich didnt take the Boom or Bust route that a few others have in the past and come unstuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Okay not so much summer more Autumn. Still not been a bad summer of sport. England almost won the Euros,just missing out by the lottery of penalties. GB did very well in the Olympics then the para Olympics.I very much enjoyed the Cricket last week,sadly we didn't win that one.Due to Covid the fifth test planned for yesterday was cancelled. It was said that many of the back room staff of India came down with the virus. Do think two hours before play to cancel the match was unfair to those turning up. Tonight a ture raising star will attempt to win the US open in America. Emma Raducanu.This is only her second Grand Slam tournament. She played Wimbledon and pulled out with breathing problems. That's created a lot of criticism if her,which I thought unfair.She is only Eighteen.Whatever the result she has been outstanding, and will go on to be truly great. Good luck for tonight Emma. Oh and did I mention Chelsea are champions of Europe? Let's hope the rest of the year brings success in sport (and Chelsea). Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I don’t watch much sport but wow! What Emma Raducanu has achieved already is historical. The only qualifier ever to reach a grand slam final, male or female. She played three qualifying rounds before the tournament. She hasn’t dropped a set. And apparently only Serena Williams has reached this final losing less games than Emma this year. Good luck to her! The only problem from what I can make out is that it’s only on Amazon Prime and they’re charging for it. That’s a real shame that we can’t see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope that our beloved media don’t pile the pressure on her as they normally do with our sports personalities. When they’re successful, they’re heroes, but if they fail, the pedestal is immediately knocked from under them and they become the butt of too much negativity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
