Yes.

I have it on good authority that middle-aged women comprise 44% of Manchester United's fanbase today following the flood of teens who followed Posh Spice in falling in love with the mighty Reds(?).

Think those middle aged women were younger when the spice girls were popular.

You can disbelieve all you want but, maybe, to put it in terms you might follow ... suppose you had a favourite band, and suppose that favourite band gave an interview, and in that interview they mentioned that they'd been hugely influenced by an author you'd never heard of. Would you be tempted to check out that author?

Who is Taylor Swift and who does he play for. I am assuming with a name like that he must be a winger.

I think it's Adam's 2nd cousin once removed.

Maybe Keegan Hurst can snag some famous bloke? 

A power couple AND gay.....that would be a double whammy 

Didn't he once date Sean from Corrie?

Mark Flanagan also briefly dated Michelle Keegan.

 

Excellent off season fodder, this.

Being of the generation in question, it's undoubtedly had a massive effect. The Chiefs winning the Superbowl in 2019 and 2022 was arguably less impactful than 2023 because if it.

Courtney and Lauren Winfield-Hill have been in the media a few times.

What media was that?  I haven't even heard of the one you've given us a surname for. 

I have heard of Courtney Cox and Courtney Love, Apologies if it's either of those.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

Why do people post to say they've never heard of someone? I feel like I would at least pop the name in Google first.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

The title power couple infers that we shouldn't need to do that though.

I think a cricket contest has a greater claim to be an Ashes than a rugby league one so I'll let go one that's been called that for 90+ years.

I wouldn't have thought Sky Sports' coverage of rugby league was too niche for this board but you live and learn.
