2 back up keepers in Button and Steele who seem a clear level below Ryan. They'd probably like some game time, and are unlikley to find it here. Probably a good move all round if it comes off.
Great news. Presuming all these new 5 year contracts he's had replace existing ones as if they are compound then he'll still be playing for us when he's 60!
In a population of 7 billion plus; surely we've not run out of new and interesting stories yet?
It's opportuntistic, quick buck, laziness. I've started watching a fair few foreign language films to get something fresh away from standard Hollywood dross.
DRS is far from perfect but football could and should learn from umpires call. 50/50 decision and not clear error then stick with ref decision and get on with the game.
Isn't this a 47 year old man effectively leaving his scent like a cat in a garden? Very odd behaviour.
Seems like 'I woz ere' scribbled on buildings has now evolved (badly)!
Nice turnaround from the 1st test. Broad is a beast when he is in the mood; Woakes gets the job done under the radar. Stokes played key role in the series again, simply carrying on from last summer.
Will be interesting to see the line up vs Pakistan
Personal choice based on sensible risk assessment. Live with at risk people or visit them reguarly? Probably best stay at home. Same if you are worried about overseas travel for personal or Gov't advice reasons. In a low risk group? Observe the safety rules, go somewhere with a low infection...
Had a pleasant fews day with the other half in the Netherlands last week. 3 nights Utrecht, 2 nights Amsterdam. Having worked from home for the past 4 months it was a reallly welcome change of scenery. 1.5m rule over there fairly well observed. Masks transport only. Form for Netherlands entry...
hoping for a Watford resurgence as I enjoy the basket case nature of their Premier league existence.looks bleak though. Happy with Plucky or Villa going down.
Overall good performance, but also shows where we have consistently fallen down - don't take clear chances and then concede poor goals (albeit a fine finish from Wood)
