Most obscure was in a village was a group on the northern border of Senegal. Had gotten shirts from clothes packages and started following us. Met them all round the world. Closer to home (for me) one of my daughter's law professors in Budapest turned out to a City fan. Met a few more Hungarians...

Interesting. Relegated sides have recently held most their players. Obviously most sides that "reside" in the bottom half of PL do build in relegation pay-cuts. As the 29k is an average you could see that for example the average between us and Stoke is probably around 29k. For every Stoke...

Highlights the ridiculousness of Championship finances. latest published figures had wage bills at 107% of income. Parachute payments remain an issue - creating basically a sub group between top of Championship and bottom of PL with certain clubs yo-yoing between the divisions. Villa's wage bill...

Early call Bieniemy Vikings head coach for 2022

Ideally for the Texans (if they have to trade him) it's either a massive haul over a short period of time (which is basically either Jets or Dolphins) or it's to the NFC - which would have to be more player swap based. Watson at the 49ers . Do like deluded Rams fans thinking a straight swap for...

Not a surprise. Issues with management. No real chance to improve next couple of seasons due to no draft capital or cap space for free agency. Not a team free agents are going to want to go even if Watson was QB. Landing spot who knows. Jets got as many holes as Texans and going to cost them...

Matty James is a great example. Apparently on around 30k at Leicester so even with a pay cut into the Championship still an expensive option for a Championship side managing even a decent income.

Plenty of scope. Just don't fall into the trap of paying ex-PL players. Way too many ordinary players on low end PL money based on historical wages rather than performance.

Wednesday symptomatic of the mismanagement of clubs in the Championship. Spending money they don't have. think last published wage bill was 42m against 23m income for a team that's spent last 4/5 years mid-table at best. Championship clubs still spending based on what the top end Championship...

Not as enjoyable but probably a bigger achievement just down to budgets particularly when it comes to squad depth. We've seen all sorts of players we couldn't possibly afford on other teams' benches when we've played tehm.

Looks like Culley to the Texans. Slightly odd/unambitious but not controversial. But the internal power structure basically confirmed. Don't think it will placate Watson

Don't get that. Fields had a couple of difficult games but Ohio State had between 20-30 starters missing from many games due to COVID. Plus Fields didn't have the weapons Jones did. I like Jones but he needs to go into a strongish team. He's not going to change a team single-handed. Fields has...

So first major mock draft has 5 QBs going in top 15 picks. Most for about 20 years. Going to see possibly the biggest QB rotation in NFL history. Teams projected to move established traditional pocket passers on for more mobile options on the back of the success of the likes of Mahomes, Allen...

Indecisive policies with inconsistent enforcement - recipe for disaster.

Shocker. Companies inflating their capabilities when doing deals with national Govts. Pfizer ,AZ both way down on the production numbers they sold Govts when they were taking the money last year.

There's certain teams (browns) in particular take analytics as gospel. Over analysis seems to overlook the obvious. Whatever happens they needed a stop and then another score to win in regular time. Still seems obvious answer that a TD ( even with a blown 2pt attempt) is strongest option as...

so it came down to the analytics dept apparently. 0.5% difference whether they go for it on 4th & 8 or kick the FG. Even if Rodgers just runs the seemingly minimum open 5/6 yards in front of him it's 4th & 2-3 which takes the decision to a different place.

Spent a lot of money on a side that still lacks identity. Probably has too many players and so the constant chopping and changing

Decent win against Sri Lanka. Another 50 runs could have been a challenge but nice bounce back by the bowlers in Sri Lanka's 2nd innings

still a squad in desperate need of a rebalance. Too many bowlers, not enough top order batsmen. Short on experienced leadership too with Bell, Patel and Ambrose gone. Briggs signing is intriguing.
