EPO?

What is he?

A cyclist?

EPO for an 800m runner is bizarre.

I recall a bloke in my squad done for doping and blamed it on "steak in Hungary". 1 person had high amounts, the others did not.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Runner

Was a rhetorical question.

Was a rhetorical question.

Very disappointed in krakouers

Me too

I hope De Minaur can knock off this campaigner.

Ive disliked jokovich from his first day in the circuit. Can play tennis, just don’t like his ****in head

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I tripped Djokovic down the stairs at the US Open in 2007.

Unfortunately it was only one step.

 

[DuckYeah]

If De Minaur can just hit to his back hand and cross the court a little more the score line wouldn’t read this way. I get that its hard to do but thats his only out in this match.

Am not entirely bothered, but the hidden profanity is always giggle worthy

Even funnier is the censorship of BF when the name of a Football club, the name of an actual town, is changed! LOL!!

@SUFCOfficial
David Hilton has been appointed as the new chairman and owner of Scampaignerhorpe United Football Club with immediate effect.
Formerly the chairman of Ilkeston Town, he replaces the outgoing owner Peter Swann, who had a ten-year period at the helm of the Iron.

Mr Hilton said: "I'm pleased to say the takeover has now been completed, and the deal includes the football club, stadium and surrounding land.

"The first job I've got to do over the next 48 hours is settle the winding up petition with the HMRC, which will help us get out of the transfer embargo we're under, so we can bring some bodies in and strengthen the squad.

"Any remaining debts will be eradicated in due course and we'll be looking to put the football club on a sustainable model as quickly as possible, while remaining competitive in whichever division we're in.

"I can also add, if there is to be any development in and around Glanford Park, it will be purely for the benefit of the football club and to help it move forward, not for personal gain.

"It's all been done very quickly, so there's a lot I need to digest but I fully intend to interact with supporters. I just need a little bit of time for the dust to settle so I can understand the business fully.

"I would like to thank everybody for the support that's been shown to me since the news started to come out, and I'm proud to be your chairman. I will give my all to help get this club back where it belongs."

Jona Segal with Kokkinakis and now Obba. NMFC…taking over tennis.

 

[DuckYeah]

However. He can play tennis this campaigner. Hope the Souvlaki knocks him off on Sunday

The city of Bursa in northwest Turkey is home to a 44,000-seat arena in the shape of a giant crocodile.
Dwarfing the tower blocks surrounding it, the green-hued stadium features a huge 'mouth' that reaches a height of 140ft (43m) that sports fans can walk into, with its body curving around the pitch.
On match days, the teeth and eyes of the crocodile light up for added effect.
The arena, called Timsah Park, which translates to 'Crocodile Park' in English, opened in December 2015 after a four-year build project that cost in the region of £8million ($8.5million).
The design was inspired by the stadium's home team, Bursaspor - nicknamed the 'green crocodiles'.

That is so cool. So what about the new Tassie stadium? What shape could it built to represent something local?

 

[ferball]

In the shape of Amanda Palmer.

Does this mean we get Daniel Wells?

 

[DaveyBoy123]

If the same investigators handle the Clarko situation, we should get our answer in 2036... 3-5 premierships later!

 

[gokangas]

Can someone please explain to me - is this big or fake? What does it mean? Doesn't seem to be in the main media.

UPDATE - found it now, thanks.
