Kid in the Riot

Yes, that's correct. Total deal was worth up to £21m.

Swansea pretty similar in terms of being an outpost but they've done alright.

Here we go then. Fury versus the second best opponent he's ever faced ?? ??

Fair play, Sheeraz has offered Skeete a rematch despite not being contractually obliged to do so. Dom Ingle was drafting a complaint to the board though, and maybe they would've ruled a no contest, in any event. But fair play to Hamzah for stepping up imo.

At least I have some.

What channel is it on ffs?

You should know better than anyone that a jury cannot be trusted.... they are unpredictable, and I suspect many were frustrated by the fact they were sat for four days on a trial of a man that allegedly shoulder barged someone and the victim ended up with a bloodied nose. One witness, a presumed friend of the victim, was always unlikely to be enough to convict Josephine.

What rules are there in place to actually stop this happening?

Boom. Some serious power there. That was a good stoppage cus Arthur was really hurt.

The last punch especially was ridiculous and clearly hurt Skeete. I agree, with your opponent already on the canvas, disqualification would've been fair. Even more absurd when you consider on the same bill a fight was stopped because a boxer got punched in the face, whilst on his feet!

This must be a first in recent boxing history. Neither man has a tattoo.

Looked like a 1-2 to the head, and that was it. Bizarre decision. This Sheeraz bloke doesn't look up to much !

Yeah, Dennis looks quite the talent. Knows it as well. That stoppage seemed very premature.

As you know, I have a contact that knows Cook's agent (Irish). I literally cannot wait to hear his side of the story ?

He's on a kind of one year sabbatical at the moment. So it may be a bit too early for him. Personally, I think he has all the attributes to become a top coach. Ipswich presents a decent opportunity for him, but it's true he may well get better offers.

It will actually be interesting to see who Ashton goes for as he certainly didn't appoint Johnson, Holden or Pearson whilst he was here. All SL choices. Appleton is presumably high on the list. I wonder if they may try and get John Terry in, which I personally think could be a very good appointment.

Hopefully it'll catch fire this time. Could be a good one. Anyone know when the main fight is on, 10pm?

As a former Pompey resident I can confirm the feeling is very much mutual! I was in the city for the first couple of Premier League derby games between the two of them, including when "Britain's youngest ever convicted football hooligan" a 10 year old Pompey fan threw a brick at police who were escorting the scummers back to Fratton station. In the years I lived there I never once saw anyone wearing a Saints shirt, not even so much as a Southampton car sticker. Anyone displaying such items would have no doubt been tossed into the Solent.

Revenue brought in by shirt sales is a comparative pittance. Like most football clubs, most of our money comes from the owner. Having a new shirt every two seasons would put more money back into the pockets of our supporters and also help cut the needless production of a load of shirts, which quickly go out-of-date. In addition, the dyeing process involved in making these shirts is very harmful to the environment. Some may consider that final point to outweigh simply "cashing in".

SELF ESTEEM's - Prioritise Pleasure is an excellent album. Sure it'll feature in many "best of the year" lists come the end of the year.

Absolutely! Not like Bears will do anything in Europe this season anyway...but a win would be nice.

They did get to the FA Cup final in 2009, but you're right more generally. They don't have much to show for the money they've spent, particularly since 2016.

We did the same at Swansea in 2010, I was there for this one:

Great signing. Liverpool recruitment has been first class for a while now. Really interesting title race between them, Chelsea and Man City. Managed by three of the best in the world. Could be a vintage PL season.
