    Incredible. I thought it was gone when Root was out. Imagine getting to watch that for free!

    A strange one, foot seemed to slip a bit as he hit a shot. Instantly grabbed the inside of his knee so assuming he's twisted it

    Bairstow 123 from 86 :oops: with Stokes carrying an injury can easily see him getting to 150 from 100 now. Saying that, Stokes has just got to his 50 with a six 😅

    Stokes and Bairstow have slipped nicely into ODI mode, this is some big hitting. I get the sense it's working because it's actually the game plan rather than them coming in and getting impatient/taking it upon themselves to boost the run rate. New Zealand's bowling helping as well Still can't...

    Championship 22-23

    Without checking, absolutely no idea. With checking and no context at all they finished 3rd, 11 points off 1st so like @rexo87 said pretty underwhelming Edit - from the BBC article "Kompany retired from playing and took over as manager in August 2020, after which Anderlecht won 41, lost 19...

    Good call by Crawley, get out the way early so Pope and Root have more time

    Championship 22-23

    And now Kompany finally confirmed at Burnley. Another interesting one, they've lost a few key players and with a big chunk of their loan (£40m+?) being called in during the summer will they be able to give him the signings he wants/needs? Talk of them targetting younger players to bring the age...

    Championship 22-23

    Jon Dahl Tomasson in as Blackburn manager. Taken Malmo to 2 Swedish titles in a row after a run of assistant jobs, be interested to see how much backing he gets https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61795210

    As another aside, the Price of Football podcast had Mark Underwood on who's the CEO of Elite Sports Group which is exclusive brand partner of Hummel (starts about 39:00 in). Some good insight into the process of making shirts for clubs such as us etc Main points of interest are he singles out...

    Just had a look, hundreds of tickets left in the dark blue areas for tomorrow still. The cheapest you can get is £110 for an adult! Having a quick look at days 2 and 3, looks like it'll barely be half full at the moment

    Champions league final - YouTube ?

    Got tickets in the comedy club in Liverpool showing it. They’ve got weird lyrics for the Shipley song

    The Hundred is just a short term solution to a long term problem, mainly getting eyes on the game, which isn't possible when 99% of matches are on Sky behind a pay wall. There was all this talk of needing to get kids into the game, which they will only do if they can see it regularly (2005 being...

    Absolute belter of a Roses T20 that, incredible finish! Wasn't there this time sadly, atmosphere looked great as ever. We should have won really but let Yorks off the hook a few times. Brook continues to look impressive

    Similar to you, not a regular better but don't mind putting a £ or 2 on every now and then. Tend to use SkyBet, occasionally Bet365 when they offer a free £5. Never even crossed my mind to give Boylesport a go

    New Kit !

    Other than the sponsor overlapping the tramlines I really like it. Not that arsed with having another retro design but after years of off the peg templates I'm not complaining, give me bespoke throwbacks any day of the week. The decision to do retro kits is definitely more to do with the club...

    Watching the build up to Spurs v Arsenal, seeing Theo Walcott going grey feels weird. Swear he's been about 20 for the last 10 years

    Match Thread U23 v Ipswich Town - Play off semi final

    I thought the same. Was initially very impressed when I saw the headline but not sure they'll get many takers at that price. Can't knock the gesture though
