    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    Although it was a reply to your quote it was more of a general observation of how it looks rather than specifically aimed at you. The point being the partisanship involved. Many of those on the left who accuse Bolexanderis of hiding during the campaign don't think Corbyn is. Many of those on...

    Trouble s if that's the plan opposition will wise up to it pretty quick and push up to pressurise them. We're not like Man City where they're holding back because they're scared of the attacking threat. It needs to be mixed up to keep the opposition guessing or it's a policy that could prove...

    Ahhhh...a new season

    Why? A lot of our players haven't played at the Ricoh. So for them after a few games settling in and getting into the routine St Andrews for those players will be 'home'. Even for those retained players they'll quickly get into the new routine and familiarise themselves with the surroundings and...

    I was watching and called it wide at the time. So did the person watching it with me. You may disagree - it's not like he bowled it leg side or way too high, but he bowled it quite far off off-stump.

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    So do you believe that Corbyn is also focusing on strategy and policy? Or is he just hiding and being indecisive?

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    I think he averages about 1 in 2. In terms of goals per minute it was better than all the other strikers anyway.

    I'd expect Hiwula to go central with Kastaneer outside (although I can see the three of them being quite interchangeable)

    God Help Us

    I agree with the preoccupation, but it doesn't explain why the problems in Labour get far more airtime/column inches than those in the Conservatives.

    Also interesting Bapaga on bench ahead of Bremang. Is Williams injured or have we seen Drysdale overtake him in the pecking order?

    Maybe. Both Kelly and Allen can do the defensive and attacking aspects but maybe with a three in midfield he prefers all-rounders rather than those that prefer being deep/forward. Think we'll see Bayliss at half time/60 mins. I think at the moment Kastaneer would be Baka's replacement if fit...

    Is that like a no repeat guarantee? It's a no country music afternoon? Sensible policies for a happier Britain.

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Given how Chaplin was 'bigged up' last season only to disappoint I'm determined not to get over-excited about Walker possibly coming in. From all the comments I've read he sounds almost exactly the same as we heard about Chaplin. My big hope is that at least he scored a fair few goals last...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Or overeager to impress and make an impact because the manager gives him five minutes while the other strikers get game after game without scoring many. If we're talking training and discipline, what about Baka and his seeming inability to understand offside?

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Really? In the few sub appearances he made last season he did more closing down and had more efforts that the player he replaced despite only getting 10 mins at a time. And although it's not the same level at youth level he had much better movement than anyone else - arced runs and finding the...

    Looks like he might be testing out his preferred first XI taking into account injuries. Interesting Shipley starts and Bayliss on the bench.

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Actually Ponticelli didn't get a pro deal until the start of the 2017/18 season. MR was already in charge at that point. There isn't enough evidence to say whether Ponticelli is good enough at this level. But there isn't enough to say he isn't either. We've had decent strikers in the past...

    Go back to your constituencies and prepare for Goverment!

    Part of me does think it's a shame that the govt can't use the 'market' as a way of showing the system doesn't work - rather than bailing out the loss making ones just let them not run at all. Let's see how those backing privatisation react when those routes they use are no longer running...

    Instead of Archer. It's his home ground, he can be more reliable (Archer is very quick but can be erratic (bowling a wide first ball (well, any ball) of a super over is criminal)), and I feel that Woakes is a bit more capable with the bat which giving the batting issues may be just as important...

    So? It's one match. There were plenty of times when people were calling on Cook to be dropped because he'd got a few low scores. Root is our best overall batsmen and certainly at test cricket. I don't think there is any nation that wouldn't think Root could improve their batting line-up. He can...
