I'd argue he wasn't really brought in to improve this side. He was brought in to get our one day cricket up to standard, which he has. I think the time may have come for separate coaches for the one day and test teams. The disciplines are so different now.

I'll believe that when I see it!

I can't even begin to imagine what CH thought when he turned up and saw McCourt in training given his penchant for hard workers.

Best came in after Burke left didn't he? Though to be fair with that one, as terrible as Best was, I'm pretty sure even Hughton thought it was a long shot and our other options were a ****ed Mackail-Smith & Chris O'Grady.

I seem to remember one extremely prolific contributor to this forum being very upset that we didn't land Rhodes gargantuan contract and suspect attitude when you did. It certainly bears remembering given our ongoing search for a striker.

I reckon Portlock Seagull's satirical takedown of the more deadheaded sections of our support is one of the best things I've read on this forum in 2017.

As carrots go, the chance to be the leading Test Match run scorer of all time has got to be a pretty big one if you ask me. Though Cook, has never really seemed the personal glory type. Anyhow, he's under no immediate pressure for his place, the spot alongside him is still up for grabs!

It's obviously exacerbated by him having 5m+ followers granted but if my brother did the same thing to my child on social media I'd be furious. By posting it online, he made the decision to take it outside family. But look, he apologised swiftly, fair enough. It's actually provoked a bit of...

I'm far from the world's biggest Oasis fan but this film is brilliant. Might I recommend Dig! for those that like a good rockumentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9IH-qVU5EM

Brighton's favourite DIY indie popsters Porridge Radio make The Guardian's 40 tips for 2018 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/dec/28/from-shamstep-to-drill-the-top-40-newcomers-of-2018 They have a new track they are playing live at the moment 'Lilac' that I am completely convinced is a hit.

Cook is only 33, which isn't that old for a batsman, especially one that relies on patience and technique rather than his eye. It's not beyond the realms of possibility he could catch Sachin as the top run scorer of all time, 5 more years of 800 runs gets him there. He may also have his sights...

As painful as that scenario sounds for all involved, I'd be extremely wary of basing my opinion on a subject on one negative outcome. I know first hand of many positive outcomes. Additionally, I think there's a lot of middle ground between the situation as you describe it regarding sex change...

Don't you think doctors, mental health professionals and parents are better placed to understand the best course of action than a bloke on a football forum?

Two recommendations. 1. Read a bit of Marx, rather than using his name as an insult completely out of context belying the fact that you haven't got a clue about him or his beliefs. For better or for worse, Marx wasn't really all that big on individuality. 2. Spend some time with trans people...

I don't suppose you've got any evidence for that have you? Ah, right, in that case we should just bully people for being different then. Cool. They wouldn't. They would have been at best ignored, at worst legislated and openly discriminated against. 1. Who decides what normal is? Straight...

:facepalm:

Am I wrong in thinking it has an impact on Test ranking points as well?

I don't get what all the fuss is about. Lewis Hamilton should be free to publicly humiliate children who don't conform to gender stereotypes. Actually, that sounds like a good idea for a Channel 5 show.

Only Hamilton's 5.7m Instagram followers. And anyone could have stored the video for themselves if they'd been so minded.
