But how do we know someone even better never made it because they wanted to avoid that limelight and media intrusion and so decided to quit? Greatest talent the world has even seen ended up being a pen-pusher because of nothing to do with his ability to play the game.

You really can't get the difference between how things ARE and how things COULD BE do you. I get she signed the contract. I get it had these stipulations in them. I get that the organisers were within their rights to kick her out for not doing them. What I'm doing it saying how it could change...

Did she have the right to reject that part of the contract or was it 'sign it or don't play'? Which is co-ercion really. If you enjoyed your job and were really good at it but every single job opportunity to do it stipulated you had to do something you absolutely hated and not particularly...

So let's say Messi and Ronaldo couldn't handle doing interviews and so never became footballers because of it. World misses out on arguably the two greatest players to ever grace a field because of nothing to do with their ability on the field but because they don't like doing the things off it...

No. I understand how it works. What you don't understand is I'm looking at different ways in COULD work. As I pointed out above they could structure it many different ways to feel like less of a burden. It's a fuck you to the players so organisers can bend over backwards for the £££ of the media...

He's in squad contention but not sure about first XI

I agree, but I always feel bad that I'm not picking Borrows who is probably more deserving in terms of service.

Ta for the info.

But we've also seen many cases whereby 'local boy done good' takes over and due to that emotional investment overstretches themselves and the club. It'd be nice to have that, but they'd also need that business brain to know when they couldn't push further without some serious jeopardy involved.

If he were on a free yes. But if it involves a fee (esp with other suitors and so may become a bidding war) I'm a bit less convinced. A signing that could go either way. More like a Shipley replacement given he will either have to be subbed or be used as one more often than not. Could be a...

She spends much longer actually playing tennis than doing interviews. She plays tennis because she enjoys playing tennis, not because she enjoys having tv cameras and microphones shoved in her face. If that's what she enjoyed she wouldn't bother with the tennis bit. There's loads of...

She does. By playing fucking tennis! Or do you think people are tuning in saying "I wish this hitting the ball back and forth nonsense would stop so I can watch them talking." I only watch the footy in anticipation of the post-match interviews. As for MotD, I turn over when they've got those...

Grendel totally at odds with everyone as per.

It is outrageous. If she found it easier for her wellbeing wonder if she could do her own game assessment in private without a journo and send it in to the organisers to distribute as a halfway house?

Thought you'd want to catch some rays.

He's decent enough but we're really strong there at the moment. James is ahead of him and the likes of Walker too who can double up at RCB. Then he's competing with the likes of Trippier and Wan Bissaka. One of those you'd be worried about defensively against the better teams.

I still find it hard to work out how you match your feelings here and those towards austerity and tax cuts which have been the backbone of Tory policy.

I'd say we can sign them, just not claim furlough payments for those signings as they've not been employed long enough by us to qualify.

How would they collar you without breaking the 2m rule themselves? Or are there people hanging around outside supermarkets with really long sticks to beat people with?

I think you should have left a bigger gap between the jabs.
