Police have said they found a knife in the car which could give just cause for the use of lethal force, although seven times to me is way too many. If you think you have to shoot someone seven times (and apparently only hit with four) at that range then I suggest you're not well trained enough...

I agree but Hummel seem to have impressed the last couple of years and are getting a number of contracts so I wonder how long it'll be before they have to resort to either more generic kits/templates or bring in slightly inferior kit designers to meet demand. Offering the more bespoke service...

I was there too having never seen him play and even though it was a testimonial as one of the older players on the day you could clearly see the ability he had even then. One of my wishes is that I could've watched that in his prime. I remember Sumo missing an absolute sitter and doing press-ups...

It was never going to be as good as the previous year so no point comparing it. I'm not totally enamoured by it. I like that it's not a generic template but it's like they couldn't decide to go plain or recreate the old kit and ended up mashing the two together. I'd prefer it if they'd just...

From the pre-season matches thus far it does seem like Giles is a bit of a weak link defensively but an asset going forward. If our RWB's are out we look very vulnerable down the flanks. Giles reminds me a bit of those brothers that Man U had - Fabio and Rafael. Fergie said they were the best...

Why would commemorating Dublin's interest in campanology be dangerous territory?

Seems excessive IMO. You could get less for actually assaulting someone.

I'd have thought so because you could have the negative test then on the way out of the building contract it. So by the time you've got the negative result you could actually be positive. It's a snapshot of one moment in time - it doesn't give you immunity for the next week.

Congrats Jimmy. Shame he couldn't do it in the record but a hell of an achievement.

More likely Pride Park is massively overvalued. If the owner is happy to 'pay' that much what are they going to do - make him offer less and force Derby to accept less? It's a private transaction.

Why are we wasting balls bowling short stuff? They're looking to bat out the day rather than looking to score so will happily leave bouncers. It's just wasting precious overs. Make them play ever ball - that'll make them far more nervous. We go to this tactic far too often IMO

Concentrating on their cricket team now.

I'm going with Nilsson as my absolute favourite. Tons of ability and reading of the game and a consummate pro. But plenty of others that deserve a mention. On similar lines to Nilsson I've liked Oggy and McGrath. Boateng as well and of course I can't leave out Dublin. In more recent years I was...

New grounds can be a double edged sword because it can hamper short term funding for the squad to pay for the building then when you move in you don't have good enough players to play in it.

Yep. MR has in the past had a tendency to start a season with his striker and two wide attackers which has then later been forced into being changed due to injury which led to an upturn in form. This year we seem to be sticking to what work last year but injuries are making that difficult at the...

Our history of ACL's and a heavy pitch - not a good combo. Trouble is high winds are exactly going to be conducive to lumping it either. Think we may not learn a lot tonight. Would say it's more match fitness but we really do need to be using games at this stage to work on the technical side as...

I dunno. Seems quite apt. Always looks busy but is a bit shit.

I think it was just to make it more accessible for people to be able to identify players. I am glad that Root chose 66. I like they have their number of their cap in test cricket based on how many people have played for the country before. Would love that to be adopted somehow in football so...

Hyam I gave 3 because if I was giving out numbers based on likely first team appearances and if we play 3CB's I needed an extra number for all of them. I was going to put them at 4,5 and 6 with 7 and 8 Kelly and Hamer 9 Godden and 10/11 O'Hare and Allen/Shipley. But I decided to move Giles from...
