If we're on changes for next year, can we get rid of kickers? It's a total crap shoot. I've got the 3rd ranked kicker so this isn't coming from a place of bitterness! Another league I'm in runs the TE spot as TE/WR flex, which is quite interesting. I thought the change to 3 WR + flex this...

Do you know if there is any scope for expanding the dynasty league if people were interested? I can't really see how that would work. With 8, it seems that the quality that is always available on the wire negates some of the purpose of a being a dynasty league. If it is 8 again, I'll probably...

If he was doing a spoken word set, I'd be well up for it!

I didn't have you down for an anarchist Woody.

*In Australian conditions. Very different story over here.

I didn't forget Panesar. I mentioned him in the list of bowlers that Moeen is comparable to. A marginally better bowler than Moeen but Moeen's overall contribution is higher. Warne's famous critique of playing the same test match 50 times was about right for Monty. Definitely a rung or two...

Since the advent of covered pitches Swann is heads and shoulders above anyone else. Also in that same timeframe he is the only spinner we have produced even approaching world class. So yes I do think we have a problem producing spinners. The context of the conversation was in judging Mooen Ali...

I don't think it is. I said arguably. And I also said that Laker, Lock and Underwood were up there. The other names you suggest are at least one rung (two in Giles's case) below. If you take those top 4 out, post-war I would imagine that overall no one else contributes more than Moeen Ali...

On his day Tufnell was easily the best bowler on that list. But he contributed nothing else. Of course Ali doesn't look great in comparison to Swann. Swann is arguably the best spinner England has ever had.

His last paragraph was right to be fair. From the end of the war until the late seventies we had a post-war consensus where the Tories were economically left of Blair. The thinkers that influenced Thatcher and Reagan were considered waaaaaay out there in the late 70's. Thatcher had a huge battle...

The centrist dads thing is an extremely benign bit of leg-pulling. Especially in comparison to militant, terrorist sympathising crusty. And I asked this question on another thread the other day. If Corbyn is so off-putting to such a large section of potential Labour voters, how come the number...

There's a pretty sharp drop from Swann to the next best in the last 30 years though BG. I'd say Ali is worth more to the team than Panesar, Giles, Tufnell, Croft or Embury of recent vintage. Outside of the three you mentioned and Underwood, we've never really produced great spinners...

BG, you're getting a bit carried away here. Nathan Lyon isn't that good. We've played him pretty badly and the tracks have been a bit more spinner friendly than we thought they were going to be. You're not going to drop Cook or Ali. Cook's a great player of spin who has scored more runs than...

All the time Root is there we're in this one.

I'm not surprised the Tories are scared stiff of Momentum. The way they mobilised thousands of previously politically disengaged young people to knock doors in seats Labour viewed as lost causes was a massive story at the last election. The worst thing for the Tories is that these people saw the...

Another outstanding clutch performance from BB saw the Steelers nick a very close one over the Bengals last night with 38 yard Boswell field goal as time expired. The Steelers secondary looks a liability, Joe Haden can't come back soon enough - week 15 against the Patriots, which now looks like...

The overreaction today is ridiculous. A very good team took their chances against us. Are our memories so short we've forgotten how we played at Old Trafford a week ago? Obviously we could do with a top quality striker. That goes for most of the rest of the league as well. From what I've seen...

I'll try again. You said that this abuse couldn't be racist because despite the fact that both diseases disproportionately affect black Africans because they could be caught by anyone. The fact that the disease could be caught by anyone was your golden bullet. If you believe that to be true...
