How do you know it's from the Goldstone? How much do they want for it?

The only thing I've got to say about this performance and Greece is: "You're the one that I want (you are the one I want) Ooh, ooh, ooh, Potter."

Labour would argue that their priority - along with economic recovery - is the NHS, and that the group that would benefit most from a healthy NHS is pensioners. I don't think Labour have it in for pensioners per se, and the jury is out on where they stand until we've seen the detail in Rachel...

I think you've described the political space occupied by Rory Stewart who was the Chairman of the House of Commons Defence Committee. Yet I see little hope of a grown-up political debate in this country while our media seem to want a leader who can perform an economic miracle whilst at the same...

Labour haven't got those ties to business in their DNA. They are about the lot of the working man, and the worry is that Labour do not understand and cannot foster and nurture what business needs because of their prioritisation on people and welfare. The core moral issue for the Tories is how...

I seriously wonder how close the Tory moderates are to binning off this cod-UKIP incarnation of the Tory Party and forming their own party, one that can rid itself of much of the Tory 'baggage', including sleaze, Rwanda, Covid mishandling and Brexit. The pool of voters who might be receptive to...

This Tory leadership contest has been full of skullduggery. It couldn't have gone any better for Labour, or the Lib Dems. Last night Cleverly was the clear frontrunner by 8 votes, now he lies face down with a knife in his back. I don't see any chance of the party uniting after this. Plenty...

I like the idea of the Premier League being able to revoke membership to any club that persistently infringes upon its rules. The reality is that no one other than their fans would miss Man City, or Chelsea. They are privileged to be able to participate in the competition and they need it more...

If you see any recent videos of Trump, he's the one who is lethargic, glitching and slurring, whereas Harris still looks to be on her game. She has a small but crucial lead nationally, and in swing states. I don't know how much gas Trump has left in the tank after his assassination attempts...

"KLOPP HOPS TO TOP POP OP"

Sounds like a 5 minute job.

The way I look at it the Premier League should be like a casino, where the club owners are the high rollers who want a seat at the blackjack table. A casino has the ability to bar people from entry, and also requires the punter to exchange their cash for chips. However, casino licences are...

It will be fascinating for those interested in politics to see how the election plays out, because the counterpoint is that the emergence of Harris killed Trump's momentum in the wake of the first assassination attempt on 13th July when it looked as though he was a shoe-in for President. I...

Given the 80 year-old Duke of Gloucester has had to step in for the King as Patron of Brighton Museums and the Royal Family have a massive Prince Andrew / Prince Harry / Meghan-sized hole then who could they bring in on a 10-year contract to help?

The worry is that if he has no defensive positional sense as left wing-back then why would he have any on the right? I can see his value wide right or wide left of midfield in a 4-3-3 where he could create an overload with the winger, or hit teams on the counter, but as a wing-back and with our...

The paradox is while Wellbeck is playing his best football for the Albion his career stats show he has never scored double figures in the Prem. The elephant in the room is what has happened to Evan Ferguson.

I do worry that Hurzeler does not have the defensive coaching ability for a top half Prem side. However, I like what I've seen in attack, and he is very positive in his thinking.

14 years ago, Rick Ankiel of the St Louis Cardinals was the first player since Babe Ruth to have won 10 or more games in a season, and to hit 50 career home runs. Ohtani blows those stats out of the water. Has won 10 or more games in both 2022 and 2023, while he has hit over 50 home runs THIS...

I was watching the Brewers / Mets decider last night and went to bed halfway through the 8th Inning after the Mets had responded to the Brewers' back to back home runs with a whimper. It felt as "game over" as it could possibly have been. I cannot believe they came back to score 4 in the 9th...

The key point about Shohei Ohtani that he is both a prolific power hitter AND an exceptional starting pitcher. In football terms, that's like being as good a goalkeeper as Manuel Neuer whilst being as good a striker as Harry Kane. I have followed baseball for almost 40 years and he is the...
