Yes it is obviously discriminatory, that's the whole point. But that doesn't mean it can't be implemented through law. The fact that the bone saw scumbags run Newcastle show that something a bit more definitive and discriminatory needs to be implemented.
It's a big IF but if we can get to the end of the day relatively unscathed, there is going to be only one team that can win this match. This whole match has Adelaide 2007 vibes, where England declared their first innings on 551/6 and still managed to lose to Australia.
The way things are...
Difficult, but I think you could probably exclude majority ownership by people from countries with terrible human rights records along with known crooks and bankrupts.
But obviously it would need a lot of thought because this flagrant abuse of the rules and subsequent bullying by lawyers...
No. Regardless of the people running them, Manchester City were always a proper club.
I would much rather there was a fit and proper test worth its name though. The sad thing is that City's owners have poured investment into the city itself as much as the obscene riches on the pitch (which...
It's not sloppy thinking. How on earth can this be a costly mistake? He can't play against us, so there is no way he is going to negatively influence our league position unless it turns out he is better than anyone we have in that position. The decision was made that we couldn't guarantee him...
I'm another one who disagrees with you I'm afraid.
I think the nub of this is that for this season, Leicester aren't a "direct competitor", or at least shouldn't be. Our direct competitors are probably West Ham, Newcastle, Spurs, Fulham, Bournemouth, Man Utd and Nottingham Forest. If...
I think there are people who don't realise how lucky we are to have Jason Steele in our squad. He's the kind of bloke who does exactly what he's told without a whiff of dissent, who knows he'll never be first choice keeper but nevertheless commands the respect of the squad because of the way he...
Well as it turned out, saying it was the high line that caused the issue wasn't right because we continued to play with a high line after the break. It looked like that alone was causing the problem at half time, but it turns out this wasn't true.
I've said it already but at half time there was nothing controversial in what you said. You didn't demand he was sacked, you didn't decide we were in a relegation battle. You just said it as you saw it, and you weren't wrong. I just resent the sanctimonious twats absolutely slaughtering you...
Smug condescending bores like you must put off quite a lot of people from using this site.
As if a measured thread of concern wasn't reasonable when we had conceded 6 goals in a game and a half from playing a high line - a glaring tactical risk, if not outright mistake.
By all means chuckle...
In fairness, I doubt you'd have posted that if we'd been 10th at Christmas, but right now it felt seminal because there is a big difference between P6 2-2-2 and 3-2-1.
Personally I felt at half time that this represented a massive adjustment in expectations and that FH would need a year bedding...
Yes and that has been the issue ever since he arrived here. I suspect he'll end up playing number 10 if that is where he is playing for Leicester every week, especially as João Pedro or Baleba might be moved on (for huge money) by the time he comes back, meaning there will need to be...
I have to say, I'm looking forward to Goodnight coming back next season as he seems to be going the same way as Ali Mac and Bissouma once they both had a season or two of Premier League experience under his belt.
The only difference these days is that we can afford to ship them out to other...
Your posts always make me chuckle. Your smug insistence that you're the worldly one compared to us insular Brits always ends up tripping you up. Here you are showing your ignorance about baseball's popularity, purely because it isn't played on your own doorstep. I like handball but baseball is...
Nah, cricket's geographical spread isn't that big. I'd say it was on a par with rugby although cricket numbers are obviously skewed by the sheer size of India.
By contrast, baseball has a far wider spread. It is number one sport in Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic and arguably...
