I shall refer to him as Luke McThomas then.

I agree (which may surprise you). Last time we left through a commercial choice of the owners and the Ricoh was always an option just they didn't want to pay for it. When the crowds were way below their expectations because they thought fans were just addicts who could be fleeced they realised...

I agree - the obsession with flat pitches etc often made the Lords tests very dull affairs with loads of draws. Very difficult to get wickets. Edgbaston used to get loads of criticism for the pitch but those were always far more exciting to watch. You could tell the pundits came from batting...

Like him a lot and deceptively prolific not just in the air. Just used to annoy me that a guy of 6'7'' would jump 6'4''

Never heard of mirrors......? ;)

I think there were two main reasons why Bayliss underwhelmed last year. The first was he had played a lot of first team football at a young age and he was drained mentally as much as physically. Hopefully time-off in the close season will have dealt with that. The second was that he was playing...

I think it's the largely gritty realism and writing the dialogue in accents that adds to it. Also stuff like Les Mis because of it. Also why I prefer Bronte to Austen - too fluffy. Not knocking her or others like her like George Eliot because that was how their upbringing was, but for me they're...

Love the sport. Never watch opening or closing ceremonies. Or any kind of pompous circumstance like Trooping of the Colour. Jingoistic nonsense to keep the sheep in line.

I read the first one when it came out when I was 17 and it was very much a kids book. But it got kids reading so that was fine by me. But they do get darker as the series goes on and by the end deal with some quite adult themes. If I'd have been at the right age at the time I think I'd have...

Yeah, it was more to try and ensure justice rather than 'protect' the perpetrators. As you've said the evidence made it pretty much open and shut and their only hope was a mistrial or procedural mistake. SYL's actions gave them a potential loophole out, and had their names not been in the public...

I think it might be a good time to sell him, depending on a replacement. Bayliss isn't great defensivlely and we've got Kelly and Allen in CM who are better there so Bayliss has to be the ACM. IF we sign Bright Bayliss may not even get in the team so how is a season on the bench going to...

Sambou won the U23 league and top scored with Everton last year. Got offered a new long term contract but has supposedly turned it down in favour of first team football. Championship teams are sniffing around and a few of the lesser PL clubs are rumoured to be looking too, as well as clubs in...

I don't think Bayliss has a bad attitude. He can have periods where things aren't going his way that possibly affects his confidence due to the way he plays but I don't think he ever gives up. He's also a much more naturally talented footballer than Shipley, but Shipley does try and make up for...

TBH we have no idea if we're struggling for funds. We've brought in quite a few players and put in bids, but with the reduced attendances next season we've no idea where the cash is coming from. I remember mid-late 90's we had the noises from the boardroom about not being a selling club/not...

No idea I'm afraid. Never stated we had one when he was sold, just that we received a fee.

But people would with Conor.....

But she wasn't doing it for that reason. She was doing it because she wanted everyone working in finance and services and moving to the SE. She didn't do it because she had massive environmental concerns - that's just a by-product that makes her decision seem less shitty. She could've closed the...

Posh food and wine Dance, inc. ballet Musicals and opera Long distance cycling and running. You can watch it for 5 mins, turn it off for an hour, switch back and it looks exactly the same. For all I know they could just be showing the same bit on a loop.

Scoring a lot of goals at every level he's ever played with us. Even if you're only willing to look at pro football for us he scores a goal every 130 mins he plays. Taking his entire seniour career inc. Macclesfield (where he was coming back from injury) its a goal every 160 mins. There are...

Because voting to remain is the status quo. you can't say "we're keeping things as they are, so things are going to be much, much better". The only thing you can do is say that the proposed changes will be worse than what exists currently. It'd be like someone saying they're planning to chop...
