In Earlsfield before the RL Championship Grand final. Pretty nervous despite London being the favourites.

So they will protest and get a right wing government. I doubt that will achieve anything.

I went to the Challenge cup when they lost to Leigh. Always been one of my favourite other teams. Less patronising than some others to the non heartland clubs.

Yes I do feel sorry for Warrington fans. My grandad was stationed there in the War and supported them. They do always seem capable of messing up the big occasion.

Then tomorrow London take on Doncaster in the Championship Final AFC Wimbledon. Any London based RL fan should try and get there to create the best atmosphere we can. We've put up with poor sides for years and this swashbuckling team deserves your backing. www.rugby-league.com/article/6517...

Haaland, Rodri, Donnarumma, De Bruyne, Silva etc etc. This was their bench against Everton when we were fighting to stay up having been fined points for one breach which we admitted. They couldn't legitimately afford half of these players. It's cheating.

It’s very rare (if at all) that I agree with Alan Sugar but he’s spot on here.

I don't think so. It was a potted history of Welling united. They cut a lot of the interesting stuff on the BNP and local history unfortunately. I've met Heaton. He used to own a pub in Salford. Good bloke.

It was under my name not the one I use here. I'm always slightly wary of using it online. It wasn't that exciting, about Welling United.
