Every outgoing President pardons some iffy individuals. Trump says he is going to pardon a load of the Jan 6 protesters/rioters.

Not particularly true. Removal of production subsidies (that most other countries have) and paying farmers to grow wild flowers has taken a lot of productive land out of production. Many UK arable farms will be putting as much 50% of their crop land into wildflowers etc this year. Few countries...

Vikings nick another one.

If they don't properly sort out the defence then it's a waste of a season. It's the defence still killing us. Don't care what MVE offers going forward he is caught out of position every week. Don't see why Dasilva is supposed to be rated. Defence cause so many of their own problems. Any sort...

Can't help thinking ECB just didn't want to do it or finance it themselves so just shifted it back to the counties. If men's county cricket is basically funded by T20 income where are the women teams going to make money when ECB funding (1.3m per year) is pulled in 2028?

whole thing's unbalanced on the recruitment side. Don't see any sort of balanced strategy (or even interest) for any form other than the T20 squad - maybe that's just a financial decision invest in those elements that produce the highest returns. No-one can compete with Surrey's finances but we...

Yep. Root's another one at times that has left simple runs out there if he'd batted normally. Brookis just has gambler's approach. England could have been in big trouble if NZ had held the early catches Brook gave them- out for around 200. That said England in a terrific position in a Test may...

Lucky NZ can't catch - would have been an ugly day if they could.

Odds on him doing a Dulieu (bench sitting) before the end of the season??

But Artetea served his time as a coach first. Spent 3 years learning from the best. Arsenal took quite a risk appointing an unproven manager.

Do we even know who applied? Has always seemed a fait accompli from day one

That's on paper. Doesn't always reflect in performances.

Hope he's at least thinking that even if he won't say it.

Who are the success stories of big name players that have been successful managers? (English football only)

I'll get my crash helmet on. Can't help feeling this is some kind of throwback to the old days when chairmen loved to pick famous names rather than the best coaches - shiny toy appointments. Doug does seem a throwback to those chairman that liked to be the central focus of the club. Hoping it...

Different world :D

Those youtubers have a huge audience. They've sold out Wembley for a charity game next year (90k tickets in 3 hours), sold out West Ham's ground (65k) for a game last year. The live Youtube audience for that charity game was over 2.5 million live. Dwarfs any Sky etc viewing figures. It's on...

KOC looking at another QB rehab project.

People behind it making a mint from the "celebrity" boxing thing. It's not for sports purists it's about celebrity.

Sad news RIP. He was Coventry City journalism when I was growing up.
