    Death List 2025

    Mark Snow, composer, died at home age 78. I guess if you're a composer, or anyone really, you hope to leave something behind that everyone remembers and he certainly did that with the X-Files theme. So iconic it was even released as a single and charted.

    No shame in that, brilliant performance from Raducanu. She's getting better and better after a horrific run of injuries and three surgeries that led you to fear for her future. If Savalenka plays like that next week there's a pretty good chance she'll win the title. When you've made the world...

    after that almighty collapse England managed to drop 6 catches, including some very easy ones. but they got the win. great to see Wong in the England setup again this summer and bowling at the death. was beginning to think the technical adjustments they made to her game a couple of years back...

    The way this game is going there's a chance that just as its reaching its climax the Wimbledon curfew will kick in. Sightly ridiculous when they're playing under a closed roof.

    what is going on with the constant changing of rackets this year. they take 5 or 6 out in their bag but this year there seems to be a constant flow of new rackets being sent down from the coaches in the stands.

    I've seen some England collapses over the years but that was spectacular from the women. From 137-1 to 171-9

    Great performance from Norrie, hoped he would win but wasn't expecting a performance like that. Huge game for Raducanu coming up. Going to need to be at her absolute best and even that might not be enough.

    And there it is 😂 Just need someone to fire a leg side wide that goes for 4 and extras will be third highest scorer in a match with 2 centurions

    Can't be many games where 2 players have got 150 and nobody else had topped 30 but could be on for it here. Not out the question there could be 5 ducks in the innings as well.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I mean its gone from its not happening, no doubt off Pogrund's unfounded claim that Corbyn was furious and bewildered despite pretty much soft launching the party himself on Peston the previous night, to him having not formally declared himself leader of an entity that does not yet formally...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Come on, surely even you can see a big difference between someone putting up the 'wrong' version of the pride flag and this kid rocking up and demanding it be taken down. Or are you suggesting he is an expert on the minutia of pride flags and was merely concerned that the incorrect flag was...

    Transfer Rumour NEW SIGNING - Oscar VARNEY

    Got excited when I saw the clubs post start with goalkeeper, thought it was someone to cover Dovin not someone for the U21s

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I mean, yes, if they just randomly went and demanded it without using the proper process I'm sure most people would be perfectly OK with it being refused. I don't, and I'm sure many other are the same, have the first clue what flag Coventry Council is flying today. It really doesn't impact my...

    Just had a look into the flag story. What a load of performative nonsense and complete waste of everyone's time. The flag gets removed at the end of June anyway. But in anycase if they wanted the flag removed there is a protocol to follow, its not for one person to dicate. Certainly not someone...

    Good news that Warwickshire is such a utopia that this is top of the list of things for the leader of the council to worry about.

    Pre Season Friendlies

    need to get the pricing right for the midweek one. with another home game on the Saturday, and it being a rush from work for a lot of people for a 7pm kick off, if they go too high a lot of people will be tempted to give it a miss.
