That is not a thing any more. If it was still up to the batting side we would not have come off in the first place. Umpires decide when the light is too bad, nothing to do with either side. Had India refused to bat they would have forfeited the test.

In most Australian pools lanes are divided properly. Including the clear message of what lanes you cannot do breaststroke in. Which is nice for someone like me who is a relatively fast breaststroker but proper terrible at front crawl. Though virtually the whole pool will be divided in Aussie...

Thing is Newcastle fans talk unrest, and protest against Ashley. Then they still rock up at St James's Park, still keep shopping in Sports Direct and do nothing about it. If they bothered to protest properly they could have made Ashley's position untenable years ago, but instead they just...

Oh, and ESPN predicting Newcastle to finish 7th :ohmy: This is Benitez after their 4-0 friendly defeat to Braga last night. “We have to realise we can’t make these mistakes. Things are not going well off the pitch and you can see a reflection of that on the pitch.” When asked if he was...

Ha, I hope Jahanbakhsh is as shit as Memphis Depay, 22 goals and 13 assists last season :rolleyes:

I'm not having this, it is too difficult, nonsense. When you buy a ticket for absolutely any other event you can choose your seat or enclosure, or what have you. Football clubs really do get away with appalling levels of customer service with regards to away tickets. All football clubs have...

Did anyone say that? I thought the common consensus was that they had overpaid for Sigurdsson and had bought too many number 10s without adequately replacing Lukaku. Agreed on the first part of your post though, let's see how these signings do before hailing the remarkable job our recruitment...

I am, same for Gerrard too. At least Gerrard worked as a coach at a football club first, though of course there is a world of difference between coaching a youth team and managing a big club. I fully expect Rangers, Derby and Villa to do worse than expected* under their inexperienced managers...

He has not really served any sort of apprenticeship in club management. He has been second assistant for Belgium for less than two years, but as it is international management that is only 27 matches. He could turn out to be brilliant, but personally if I was to trust the running of my football...

Bruce did an excellent job last season. Another stupid club dazzled by a former star player, getting the wrong manager. See Birmingham with Zola.

Nike could never make us 25m sets of kit in time. Deal is off.

Not enough time to get totally bladdered if you do that...

Calm down everyone. Blimey you lot like to get your knickers in a twist over stuff. A newspaper, during silly season, quotes a deal 'which could be worth up to £50million' and you all lose your shit about how football has gone mad. That £50m probably includes wages and clauses that are never...

To be honest I discovered that whilst I like and appreciate the efforts of this England team. I did not care that much when we lost, I am proud of the effort they put in, and happy that for the first time in twenty years that England represented us to the best of their abilities. But I am just...

If it is commercial waste, no matter how small a business, you should be paying to get it picked up by a commercial waste collector. That is what all other businesses have to do. Can you imagine how much cardboard the council would have to deal with if all commercial enterprises could just ask...

Difference being our board and Chris work together with no bullshit, no lies and just a simple this is your budget. We trust you to spend it. Hardly comparable with Ashley's continued obfuscation over budgets and transfers at St James' Park.

Rafa gets linked to every single top flight managerial job that comes up in England and Spain. This year off the top of my head, Everton, Napoli, West Ham, Arsenal, Zenit, Real Sociedad and Spain. Nothing to see here, imo. His agent loves a rumour for leverage with Ashley. Though it is fun...

Yes, to find out who are the best 5 teams from Africa, best 5 teams from Asia, best 13 teams from Europe etc etc. The finals themselves are there to see who are the best overall. I cannot see why people do not understand this. Global sport = teams from all over that globe. How shit would the...

Yes, agreed. I just do not agree with you that it is a problem having more teams from those continents. As a global sport, it's premier competition should represent the World, not simply who are the best 32 or 48 teams regardless of where they are from.

One World Cup in Europe is a bit soon to drawing conclusions. Last time out in South America, 4 out of 5 South American teams made the last 16; 3 out of 4 Central and North American teams also made the last 16. The dominance of set pieces at this World Cup has caught the smaller in stature...
