... the documentary on BBC 4 is likely to be enlightening. As someone who lived and studied in NI in the late 80s it's a very complex place.

If you like stats some good analysis here

If you do podcasts d3d4 is a great listen and a good way to learn a bit about League One.

Currently on for 100 points.

Our PPG in 2.45 which is ridiculous and can't last. But while it does it's v satisfying.

I think we are better than the league and will comfortably be promoted automatically. I hope this doesn't come back and bite me but I'm confident it won't.

Top after 10 games

The bookies have us odds on to go up. GD 4 better than anyone else in the division. Winning when not playing brilliantly. 100 point season anyone? Might as well be happy as everything else is pants.

Much Saturday love to my fellow Blues, peace out.

I lived there 20 years ago but haven't been back for over 10. I'm taking my partner and her Mum so have the classic things already booked in. I'm wondering if anyone has been recently that might be able to recommend something I don't know about. Suggestions welcome, smartarses need not respond.

Northern Ireland documentary on BBC4 last night...
at 09:41 11 Sep 2019

... on the "troubles" I use that word as that is how it is best known. If you have any interest in this period of time this is an excellent insight. Probably similar in depth to Ken Burns style of documentary with talking heads from all sides and previously unseen footage some of which is quite shocking, if sadly unsurprising.

I appreciate this is pretty cheesy, however...

Ben Stokes that was sensational.

Cricket holds a special place in my heart because my grandad seemingly always had it on the tv or the radio. I love listening to it for the gentle comfort of nostalgia, but watching that has made me love the game in its own right.

Nail biting, enthralling stuff. Just wonderful :-)

This is a comment from the guardian, it's how I remember cricket as a kid. I'll freely admit I shed a tear.

What a wonderful day what a wonderful game. Ben Stokes I think you're great 🤩🤩🤩

No mention of the cricket?

What a performance from Archer who completely changed in how he to chose to bowl after Lords. He simply decided it needed to be different and did it, incredible...

I think we all need to be a little more patient new signings to come in. Keane if properly fit is a real asset. A new full back is handy. We haven't lost this season, Norwood has another. From where I'm sat as an armchair fan I'm relatively happy.

Women's world cup semi-final

Surprising team news on both sides. I'm assuming Rapinoe must be injured. 442 is an interesting choice by Neville I guess hoping it stops us getting overrun in midfield.

... that was some fine cricket. Shakib is a lovely little batsman. I'm glad we won comfortably against them. I'd love to see them sneak into the semis. Off to the Bangladesh v Afghanistan game on Monday and hoping to see him score a few runs.

A great way to start the cricket World Cup. Archer looks worthy of his inclusion after all the fuss. Even though none of our batsman took there chances to get ton there was plenty of solid scoring. The wicket didn't seem to play the way it looked but it made for a competitive game between bat and ball. I feel its worth adding that England's fielding looked in a good place today.
