Bradman ? How old ARE you ? You'd have to be 76 even if you'd been born at the Oval in 1948. And you'd have to have needed a sharp baby eye for that as he got a duck.

I'm quite surprised that Sachin appears as an opener in some of these. That was never his position.

I thought it would cause a meltdown that would demand an urgent visit to Sainsburys for Pringles where are new Gambian friends were concerned. It seemed to pass some of them by. Perhaps they weren't sure of what it was about.

I'd say that's right. No more than 9 places either way. I'm pretty sure we'll be top 20 this year.

I would, in some re-assurance, tell you that it is more the headline makers and the extreme voices in open media that give that impression. The rest of us are still tutting, making tea, fretting over the weather and complaining when Match of the Day don't say enough nice things about Brighton...

I think it's a lot for than just ex Tory and Reformm voters I think that's correct. Most folk separate the two. Only the extreme voices are heard at both ends. Hence my desire to see what the debate looks like when the wings are clipped. I don't think you are saying anything different to the...

It is violence, with no reason or justification. But @wellquickwoody has identified something here that needs to be put forward. And I'm with him on that. My point remains that, whilst the far right may approve of what they see, and have stirred it up, I am not convinced that this is a...

I wouldn't use the term 'far right'. It is a political term and can be used in an expedient way. The character traits, convictions and emotional responses of individuals exist in another dimension. People cannot be defined by a political ideology, despite this being the only way that many...

I did mine over a couple of winter nights. I've got all the individual teams logs. Although memory may have lost the odd one. Never been to Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton or Manchester City. My away days were mainly late 80s and 90s.

I'm not sure what mindless thuggery and purposeful vandalism of innocent folk's possessions and businesses has to do with concerns over child safety. The only reasonable worry I see amongst the rioters was a shortage of crack and a deep disappointment that the opposition didn't turn up. There...

This entry was a work of art, prose to end all prose. It felt like Chaucer meets a Wesley sermon. I can see the masses in the open fields, thirsting for more. As a young Henry Fielding strains his ears at the back whilst suddenly realising his life's vocation. Don't ever leave us.

If I had to select just one of the Windies crew, it would be Malcolm. Joel Garner for the limited overs. Malcolm Marshall was not that tall for the team of the era. The ball just skidded off the surface. In the 1984 series he was unplayable at times- even on flat tops. I think only Allan Lamb...

I've seen a lot of her stuff. She's very good. Kind of Football Panorama meets Philomena Cunk. She's great.

Does anyone have a spare ticket ?

'You're Mum said to be back by seven. So no more windows, go home'

I read that as an incomplete 'no more mosquitos' Pretty sure folk can agree on that one.

It really isn't. The overwhelming majority of folk would want nothing to do with it. Tomorrow I need to do the housework, go to my village cricket match and I have a little walk planned for the evening. I also need to arrange my league ladders for the coming season as well as my Fantasy Team. I...

Hold on, I saw lots of folks with red crosses chanting 'Engerland' On a more serious note, it does rather seem that a lot of those folk are pleased the opposition has turned up. Probably a few businesses and car owners too.

Allahu Akbar is chant that is used in praise and thanksgiving. A bit like a Christian saying 'Jesus is Lord' If these folk are out looking for trouble and in possession of knives then they should be treated in the same way and probably will be. I would be surprised if the media doesn't pick it up.

Get your fingers out and count the number of Brighton players on pitch, Chris...
