    US Open

    They grow up so fast! Think I got pissed in the park after my A-Levels.

    US Open

    You'd assume that as with pretty much every other sport these days if there's bleeding you have to stop and sort out the issue so not even a case of should could have played on if she wanted to.

    US Open

    Looked like she could easily go up a gear or two if needed. Absolutely mad to think she's only 18 and gone through the whole tournament, including qualifying, without dropping a set. She only played her first WTA tournament a few months ago!

    This may just be a grumpy old man moment but is there really any need to blast out music between games?

    Great result. Got to say I wasn't expecting to start the season like this after the disruption we had in pre-season and some of the performances in the pre-season friendlies.

    Moore is looking a great signing. I liked Marosi but Moore is a definite upgrade.

    What are Morrisons actually doing? Are they removing the temporary changes they made to their sick pay so that it covered those who were having to self isolate or are they saying those who aren't vaccinated won't get sick pay in any circumstances?

    Think the Manchester one has just opened. They've done a deal with the company Ian Bell has just setup to provide the bats so fingers crossed there's a Midlands one soon.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Posted similar on twitter earlier but this is a bit different IMO. Not least because that was in a pre-vaccinated world and a game scheduled to be behind closed doors. The players were in a bio-secure bubble which was breached leading to multiple positive tests including among the playing staff...

    Don't think the ECB will let this one go easily. Seems that if India forfeit event insurance kicks in, if its called off by metal agreement no payout. Think there's going to be a lot of questions about Shastri holding a book launch attended by members of the playing squad when they're supposed...

    Test match is off. Rumours the Indian players involved in the IPL contacted the BCCI overnight. Interestingly the initial statement said India couldn’t field a side and we’re forfeiting but that line has now been removed so looks like the BCCI throwing their weight around again as I doubt a...

    World Cup and Euros every other year?

    Certainly has. These competitions used to be watch every game possible, these days until we get to the knockout stages I hardly watch a game. Sure I'm not alone in that.

    World Cup and Euros every other year?

    When are they going to get it into their heads that over saturation kills interest and therefore value long term.

    Would be useful to know what question was asked. Do you support lockdown if cases, hospitalisations and deaths stay at the level they are now is a very different question to would you support restrictions if cases, hospitalisations and deaths rose rapidly.

    Fucking work - again. Someone makes changes at 8:30am this morning. Customer then calls up to say everything stopped working at 8:30am this morning, Call gets assigned to me instead of person who made the changes. Person who made the changes then claims this is completely unrelated and...

    How many episodes are there? Next one, according to the listings, is about Cantona and his lunge into the crowd and the Blackburn / Man U title race that season. Would love there to be an episode on the impact its had on the clubs left in the EFL and / or clubs like us that voted for the Prem...
