  1. Simon Doull has a theory that Woakes doesn't travel well, particularly moving around on internal flights.
  2. Very average from England. The spinners bowled well but the pace bowlers threw down some right rubbish at times. With Pakistan's crushing defeat by India yesterday this should of been a walk in the park for England to go fourth with an improved run rate, but there's a game on now with the Afghan spin attack.
  3. There were enough of them out there. Aaron Smith, Brodie Rettalick, Cody Taylor, Ardea Savea, Beauden Barrett, Sam Whitelock coming on all players who were nominated (in the top 3 in their position) for the best All Blacks of all time.
  4. What a game. World no.1s against the legends of the game, and the legends came out on top. With Argentina also winning today it's no surprise that as we get to the sharp end of the world cup the Southern Hemisphere comes out swinging.
  5. I'd much sooner see Scotland make the Euros for us to beat them than not be there.
  6. It's good for a Wednesday night. We probably wouldn't take 500 to Ipswich for a midweek fixture or sell out our allocation.
  7. Pre premier league, when football was football, Liverpool had a very successful spell promoting from their 'boot room'. Was that succession planning or just doing it on the cheap?
  8. Not in 'spoons at the' hammersmith end.
  9. In fairness he'll then put four times that in the charity jar dahn the boozah plus his winnings from spoof.
  10. I'd expect someone who's come up through our Academy to do well in L1 but getting rave reviews at Wycombe is a long way from the standard required to perform at a consistently high level in the Championship each week.
  11. Grammar police here: As both Robins (as in Mark) and Coventry (as in the City) are proper nouns they should start with a capital letter.
  12. Where would they film the documentaries? The backdrop of a half built stadium doesn't look good.
  13. That was such a great watch. Both teams made mistakes but both tried to play go forward attacking rugby from the very start. While Fiji will be disappointed to lose they still qualified to play England in the QF and Portugal get their first ever win at the world cup. They did themselves proud and can't that winger half shift.
  14. I was in the Enclosure that day and also heard the crack. I almost turned away when they brought him on the stretcher to the tunnel as the misshapen leg was evident and the bone had apparently broken through the skin.
  15. Shocking injury for one of my favourite players of the last 20 years and I wish him a speedy recovery for him and his family, even if it's not be on the football field. I say favourite player, in fact if I could have made one affordable signing in the last 20 years it would have been him. All the best Chris.
  16. Don't deny it but I'm willing to bet we've had 54 blatant penalties denied since 2015 rather than 54 awarded.
  17. Robert Street to be given the freedom of Cheltenham.
  18. Just been said commentary on the St Mirren v Rangers game that James Tavernier now has 107 goals including 54 penalties. He signed for Rangers in 2015. No way have City had 54 penalties since 2015 and I'm wondering how far back we'd have to go to rack up that many.
  19. Wishing all those injured or traumatised by the event a speedy recovery. Hope the police got, or get, the scum responsible.
  20. Sad news. Condolences to Sir Alex, family and friends.
  21. No, that was Dean Whitestone the clown we had on Wednesday. I know people complain about Stroud but he's streets ahead of officials like Linnington and Whitestone, plus, a few others, as he is at least his own man and, rarely gets swayed by home crowds.
  22. Could be a good appointment. Whatever people think of Keith Stroud he's nowhere near the worst ref in the EFL (this Wednesdays clown is one that proves that), he's his own man and he rarely gets swayed by home crowds.
  23. I know you're not suggesting that non white british or irish players are not hardworking.
  24. I admit to being a Beckham fan. As a crosser of a ball on the run he only ranks 2nd to Terry Paine. A great free kick taker and captain, my admiration for him rose when he was prepared to anger Ferguson by skipping training to take care of his children. Very astute guy he was well aware of his image and knew how to exploit the tabloids. And that image was amazing. Supposedly when at Real Madrid he sold more replica shirts than anyone, in a side that included Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raul and Casillas among others. Even this though was eclipsed by his adoration in south east Asia which almost took on god like proportions. The man's a success and good on him.
