Watford - West Ham tonight. Draw almost guarantees safety for both as Villa and Bournemouth will need to win all their remaining games to stay up unless they win one convincingly and draw the other.

I agree about the diverse economy but fact is we (and many other cities) become intrinsically linked to one or two industries that they become reliant on as related industries in the supply chain follow and when they decline the area takes a massive hit. Uni could be the next after weaving...

I think we are seeing a bit of a long term change. I reckon as we get used to wearing masks in shops etc it will become a common thing as it is in Asia. WFH will be more prevalent and could see a big indent into the housing crisis as office developments and business parks are less required...

Bit of an odd one on the face of it. Not that young so not brought in for development. Predominantly a winger which we don't play with. Can play down the middle but we've got quite a few ACM's already. Still, good luck to him.

Was going to agree until the last sentence - pick a side and stick to it! (although I eat right handed and bat right handed)

Might result in more 'team days' etc to gain/maintain that sense of team. So invest in Go Ape/paintball.

Almost gave you a 'negative reaction' for the use of the term 'hella'...

Part of me is pleased that at least it's n ot a whitewash and just 'nothing to see here' but at the same time you've got to ask why was this sat on for so long. Anyone bothered about democratic process would want this known. I very much doubt it implicates any of our politicians as it's outside...

Just seems very odd because as it'd be him making the apology it'd be inextricably linked in many peoples mind to him. He'd effectively be getting some people to link him to anti-semitism unnecessarily.

On a lighter note, has anyone seen that Gronk was on the Masked Singer!

Wonder if it's using the name change as an excuse to get everything out without losing value in the brand name. Get all the dirty washing out under the Redskins brands so when it changes there's less of an association to the new in many people's eyes. Not saying I agree with such a policy, just...

Just highly likely to bat first due to better pitch. But if weather likely to be better later on and you could get swing with cloud cover early on might take advantage of it instead, esp if you lack spinners.

I'd be amazed if an ex-lawyer decided to issue a formal apology and settle if there's a highly likely chance they'd win the case. Why make the party look guilty and give people a stick to beat you with on historic racism when you can likely prove legally you're not?

According to his bio at the club he's that tall. But anyone with working eyes could tell you he's 5'6''/5'7''. Hence the question mark. It could be someone just pressed the wrong number and put 180cm instead of 170cm.

That's because your job is an ale-taster.

In midfield yes. Defensively I don't think we're that short. By no means absolute giants but big enough. GK/D 6'4'' Marosi 6'3 6'2'' Hyam, Pask 6'1'' Fadz, Wilson 6' Rose, Dacosta 5'11 Dabo 5'10 5' 9 5'8 Mason M 6'2'' Kelly, Burroughs 6'1'' Kasta 6' Shipley, Eccles 5'11 Allen (?), Westbrooke...

Surely the response should've been I can't believe it's not Bairstow?

I get that but the difference is that some clubs can afford a decent first team but can't afford or convince decent players to join to be a squad/bench player. The really big teams can afford and convince better players to do so and the drop off in quality to their bench is less pronounced. So...

or BJ Martinez ;)

For me main concern is if it increases the breaks in play. Loses all flow and momentum and football doesn't suit a stop/start game. I can see the TV people wanting the drink break more than anything else because it's another chance for ads, hence chance for more revenue and the powers that be...
