If it helps Lewis gave George a tow for their final laps in Q3 with George only going about 0.2 seconds quicker which is, I think, less than the average advantage a tow usually gives around Baku. That said Russell was generally quicker each qualifying session and practice. The Mercedes was...

LeClerc on pole. Perez out qualifies Verstappen for the second race in a row. It'll be really interesting to see what Red Bull do if Perez gets away well and stays ahead of Max.

Because of the sweet science of victory?

Come on Stat! It's one of your forte's mocking the lack of patience of the fans. We kid because we love, right?

I know, I know. But the alternative was to go full Stat Brother and I didn't want to step on his toes so I went with hopeless optimism. I'll sit in the corner and have a serious think about what I've done.

I hope people listen toi and take heed of this. Main point being we've bought him on potential rather than reality at the moment. He has plent yof potential but he hasn't delivered yet. Vickery thinks an intermediate step to a big Argentinian club would have been better. He is worried that...

Surely it would be the next placed team from the South American qualifying?

That's pretty interesting. Do you have the stats for previous years/managers? It feels like there never used to be a whole lot of progression from the U-21s to the seniors. It'd also be interesting to see if there's a link between the clubs spending more on academies and the increase, if...

According to 'This is Anfield' Wolves, Leeds, Southampton and Fulham are interested in him. Monaco too. https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/06/takumi-minamino-closing-in-on-17m-liverpool-exit-4-clubs-interested/ I'm not sure I'd want two Japanese players in our squad. The other day I was...

Funnily enough I'm in the latter category. I'd love us to throw caution to the wind and go all guns blazing. Play with an if we concede two we'll score three, concede three we'll score four attitude. It's just that Southgate is in team cautious and so far it's worked really well so I've come...

Yeah, I think you're probably right there. The post above mine actually does that very thing. Someone who didn't like the original liking the sequel.

I did think about Vardy. Owen and Rooney are nailed on, Kane took Vassel's place so it was between Heskey and Vardy for the last striker role. Actually I'd have TAA in over Phil Neville as well. More of the current squad would get in but it would still be weighted in favour of the 2004 one...

Yeah, there's (nearly) always an element of luck involved in successful campaigns and I'm not even arguing that Southgate is a good or great manager, just that what he's achieved so far should be respected and enjoyed more rather than constantly belittled. I've been watching England in...

That's easy...none. Which was the point I was making. This current England squad/manager have achieved more than previous squads with better players and a more successful/experienced manager. I was pointing out that this England team and manager deserve more respect for their achievements...

Ha, I was wondering who would be first to make that joke! I'm expecting a 'come on!' joke too...

Roger and Jessica Rabbit. How on EARTH did a rabbit, a RABBIT! - manage to marry this?! I mean, come on!

Top Gun: Maverick Excellent. As good a blockbuster sequel as you could hope to watch. If you're a fan of the first Top Gun you'll be a fan of this. If you're not you won't. The first two thirds while following the pattern of the first film and including plenty of throwbacks to the original...

This was a 'competitive game. What's the rule with friendlies?
