Subject: Nasty goes to The Match

Posted by: nasty_liar
Date: Jan 15 18

This is my new blog about all things sports.

Warning to any North American readers expecting any of your sports to be featured. They will not. I do not watch Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey or American Football.

I am a huge sports fan though. The most important being football, or soccer to those in North America, in particular the team I have supported since I was a boy. Huddersfield Town.

Happy New Year to you both.

Happy New Year to all sports fans! Let’s look forward to another year of incredible moments.

Anyone got a particular special one for 2019?

I think mine has to be the England cricket teams remarkable World Cup Final win and Ben Stokes innings in the Headingley test against Australia.

Also Tiger Woods winning another major was remarkable.

I'm stumped on that one. I'll be thinking about that all day now! About 90% of all the sports I watch these days is football, and all I can think of right now is just something in general - all of the amazing dance routines that are performed in the NFL now. Each game is like watching an exciting episode of Dancing With the Stars! :-)

Ray, I remember Colchester going up to the Champions League a few years back now. I think that was when they finally built the new stadium by the A12. Housing development went up on Layer Road soon after.
Liverpool playing Sheffield Utd this evening. Sheffield have a pretty good record for away wins so will they be the team to break our excellent current record of home wins. We have a number of injuries to first team players.
Brilliant scissor kick by the Brighton player against Chelsea yesterday. Did you see it?

Didn’t see any premier league action yesterday, did go and watch Huddersfield get thumped by Stoke. Interesting factoid: throughout the entirety of 2018 and 2019 I only witnessed Huddersfield win a total of 4 matches at the John Smiths Stadium.

I have missed 3 matches so far this season.... we won them all.

You may read headlines about Sectarian chants to Stoke player James McLean at the Huddersfield game yesterday. Those would be accurate, not from the stand where I sit but dozens and dozens of Town must have joined in for it to be that loud....

Just caught the highlights of the Arsenal match, good for them.
That Brighton bicycle kick was superb, as is the player's name: Alireza Jahanbakhsh
Really enjoyed the Darts World Championship this year and Peter Wright's well-deserved win. I'm not sure what has happened to Michael van Gerwen's game, he was well below par by his amazing standards.

Very pleased for Peter Wright. He's waited a long time for that. As for Van Gerwen, I don't think he's quite at the ruthless Phil Taylor level where he will turn up an produce his best year after year even though he pretty much dominates the majority of every season as a whole.

And if Alireza Jahanbakhsh has the best name then Peter Wright has the best hair in sport.

And I am a happy bunny today with another Liverpool win. Twoof Sheffield's players were from Liverpool one a Liverpool fan and the other an Evertonian. Lovely interview with them before the match. I think Sheffield play really nice football and I think they will do really well in the P.L.
We play Everton on Sunday in the FA cup but is not on the TV. Will have to watch the highlghts on MOTD.

Hats off to Liverpool, 101 points from 37 league games in 2019 is amazing.

We have a lot of players injured now. I think he is going to play the youngster Brewster and the new Japanese player against Everton.

Yes, I guess we will have to wait a bit longer to see if Mourinho can smile ;-)

Thanks for the heads up re Liverpool v Everton match. I though it was a bit strange not being on TV. Should have remembered that BBC show the FA Cup matches. I am really not looking forward to the match. I just hope we don't get any more injuries. Everton are usually quite a physical team. I still remember Bobby Firmino being pushed over the hoardings into the crowd.
Re injuries...Newcastle have the most players out with injury, Bournemouth also have a lot and yes Kane won't be available for several weeks...a torn ligament I believe.

Re: Post 561

My favorite sporting highlight for 2019 was the Women's World Cup by FIFA in France.

What about yours?
