    All purpose cricket thread

    Talking of joys to watch, just caught the Stokes documentary on Amazon. Watching that World Cup final and Headingly ashes innings again….unbelievable! Then you see what he did in this test, the 100, the 14 over spell to protect the new ball bowlers and then even nicking a couple of wickets...

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    Who knows on both counts but Id be surprised if her ego/emotion would get in the way. Value is the big unknown but I personally think this is likely to decrease in coming months due to big players contracts running down thereby reducing their values. I honestly can’t see how wasps get out of the...

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    They’ll sell if they think this is the time of peak value. They won’t/can’t invest to get us to the prem, the value of the squad is significantly higher than recent years (£25m ?) and most importantly, the stadium could be available to a purchaser which might put a bit of a premium on clubs...

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    As I said yesterday and think youve alluded to before, I don’t think they have the cash, or at least they’ve not got it available to allocate to us. Otherwise why would you sell a player, potentially at undervalue and/or rushed, when you could loan the money to plug the gap and make good...

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    I think Robins knows the score on the financial side, he’s admitted as much in the past. Likes been said by others, I reckon the pitch situation and it’s impact on the start of our season is what’s really fucked him off…throw in some howlers and I can understand why he’s not going to be jumping...

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    Not best pleased with it either but let’s see what the probable price is and whether anything goes to robins. Not holding out much hope but will judge once we know…although ‘undisclosed’ is likely to be the figure.

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    It’s just smacks of SISU not actually having any cash to invest, even to fund any short term cash flow holes. On the positive side, I’d imagine this means they’d seriously consider credible offers for the club

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, EU is getting a majority of its LNG converted and piped from us I think, so it has to come through us to get there. They don’t have the terminals, hence the need to store. We don’t have the storage as you say but should be able to maintain supply. Im not saying there no risk of us having...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m guessing as Germany/Europe weens itself of Russian gas we’re seeing increasing demand on a limited supply of gas elsewhere. At the moment Europe are filling their storage for winter not because of worries about price but because there’s a genuine risk/concern that if Russia turns off the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s also difficult due to the fact it highlights/admits the governments inaction and failures in certain areas has made the situation (which is global to be fair) worse But ultimately the right message, is the right message and needs to be hammered home. It needs to be delivered in conjunction...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s a real issue with governments in this country and others to some extent, Germany is an obvious example at the moment (huge over reliance on Russia for energy and China for trade 🤦‍♂️). All short termist. No joined up thinking. I’ve thought for a while that there’s very few decent...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Havent read/seen the comments but the whole of Europe needs to significantly cut its usage this winter to get wholesale gas prices down ps joking apart you can imagine potential gas usage reduction if people being in the office (which will be heated anyway) rather than everyone wfh.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is 100% the right message. Unfortunately it should be coming alongside a support package announcement Edit - I’d have started mass advertising by now saying how much people can save every year by reducing shower lengths by x minutes, reducing thermostats by 1-2 degrees etc. start getting...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s inexcusable really. Just a total lack of appreciation/consideration of peoples concerns which should’ve been brought into the equation when finalising the leadership race timetable. We’ve had weeks of the hustings even though we know the outcome. This should’ve been wrapped up by now, new...

    AJ v Usyk

    Agree that the afters were cringeworthy, heat of the moment stuff and he’ll regret it Im sure. Usyk might be an ex cruiserweight, so was Holyfield, but he’s also a P4P top three. Usyk would be just a ‘cruiserweight’ to Fury, who’s an absolute beast and would come in 3-4 stone heavier than Usyk...

    AJ v Usyk

    I was responding to the comment that he’s not a world level fighter.

    AJ v Usyk

    I’d say that until the 10th it had gone pretty much to plan. He boxed well and hurt Usyk to the body. Reckon he gassed after trying to take Usyk out on 9th. He’s obviously world level

    AJ v Usyk

    He obviously is. He might not be elite but he’s just taken possibly the best pound for pound fighter 12 rounds again
