  1. It’ll never happen but I’d not bother with a Lord’s test in the Ashes. Big elitism problem In cricket.
  2. They’re my favourite band so I’m bound to be biased but all the people complaining about the set list/style… clearly haven’t been paying attention for the last 5 years. They’ve evolved musically and, whilst if I was there I’d be a little frustrated that they effectively treated it as just another night on the current tour rather than a special Glasto set (saw them in Manchester and Sheffield this month with better set lists than last night), people shouldn’t be expecting a 2006 style set. The common moan that he’s singing at a different tempo to the recorded versions so people can’t sing along… get a grip!
  3. As far as I’m aware it was invented by a smug man called Andrew Miller on the ESPN switch hit podcast, makes me like it even less. The team don’t like it either. Aussies were rollicking along but those three wickets, especially Labu and Smith, leave it poised nicely for tomorrow. Poor from Head sending in the nightwatchman when Root strolled out to bat in a storm yesterday. Root this morning btw, how lucky we are to get to watch such an incredible player.
  4. Southampton has one in 2027. Presumably to sell corporate spots at the hotel. Two in London and one in Southampton is rubbish, should be at least one at Headingley or Old Trafford each time. That’s the way I see it. Got Day 5 tickets for Headingley, Old Trafford and The Oval - it’s either money back or you get to see an exciting end to the test match (series in the case of the latter).
  5. Another shout for Scampi Fries. Meal deal - would go S&V McCoys or chilli Doritos.
  6. Harry Brook will have Gilbert Jessop in his sights again tomorrow.
  7. Brilliant day at VP. Ramsey magnificent. Very fitting that it ended with a McGinn arse shield too.
  8. In three cash mini leagues - leading by 7, 1 and level - in the first and third its winner takes all. Got my free hit to play. What on earth could go wrong
  9. V harsh on Foakes and imo it should’ve been Crawley making way
  10. The sponsor logo screams Championship
  11. Frustrating to lose two in a row but there wouldn’t be such despondency if those defeats had been spread across the 12 games rather than back to back now. Not looking likely for Europe I’ll admit given the fixtures but let’s try and beat Spurs and see where we stand after that.
  12. I set up for it by doing Kane-Isak midweek. Should’ve saved that for this weekend really - made the transfer a couple of hours before they sacked Stellini and thought Man Utd were going to batter them. Cost me 10 points with Kane getting both assists and 3 bonus, while Isak was a sub vs Everton then robbed of an assist by the site when he came on!
  13. Getting toward crunch time in a couple of cash mini leagues yet I’ve found myself taking a -8, hope it pays off! Salah, Grealish and Rashford in for Saka, Martinelli and Eze
  14. Fulham were given two goal kicks late on in front of the Holte which should’ve 100% been corners. The Fulham defender high fived the keeper after clearing one of them! Hence my very poor rating - get the basics right.
  15. The lower Holte where everyone stands the whole game anyway, no idea why they’re not putting rail seating in there.
  16. Hate to think how much they’re going to charge for potential European matches. On the renewal page there is an option to auto-enrol on to the cup scheme but there’s no pricing information there.
  17. This looks nice but not justifiable for the price. Especially with the ticket increases too. Will continue to use the Holte Suite for free (until the start charging extra for that too!) Really annoying that they’re selling it as if the wifi is a major benefit. Being able to check your phone in the ground should come as standard! Interesting that from the virtual tour of it, the inside looks v similar to the hospitality but inside the new stand at Anfield (had a few work events in there) - wonder if Purslow was involved in that too or maybe these kind of sections look the same everywhere.
  18. Mine has gone up around 65% in two seasons
  19. It’s definitely a kick in the teeth when public sector pay is stagnant, I will renew but it means cutting back elsewhere. Not looking good for wanting to take my son in a few years either if the increases keep coming.
  20. Only seen the MOTD highlights but good to come back and get a point after not playing so well. Hope Emi is back tomorrow. How was the play @Paddywhack?
