Agents and favours in same sentence. Bit of an oxymoron. They really are filth. What purpose do they even serve in football? A totally unnecessary commodity. Couldn't believe Juve fans chanting Mino Raiola's name last week. Singing his name like some hero for getting De Ligt to their club. You're cheering someone who's just taken tens of millions from your club for no reason. You should be booing him like a pantomime villain you clowns!

Good. Wouldn't have minded him for a few cameos. But not someone I'd want to spend much of the budget on. Particularly at his age with a suspect injury record.

The gist I've got so far is a keeper is due soon, if that falls through there will be some other keeper options. And a defender may or may not be coming soon. Aaarrgghh, the light, it burns, it buuurrrnnnsss..... Nobody look directly at it, use your safety shades.

Root admitted himself in interview after that it was probably the worst batting performance of his professional career. Seemed a pretty honest assessment.

Gotta be one of the best finals in any sporting code. Great entertainment, well done England.

Sorted. Thank you. ?

Still same for me Phil. I'm on Samsung phone though. Have logged out of web page and come back into website again to see of it reset. Big white bit to the right. No biggie, just thought I'd keep you in the loop.

This. I feel myself being critical of some of the poor skills on show by some of the women's teams and then I flick over to the Africa C Of N..... Jesus Christ some of it is pitiful. I swear every time I tune in some donkey defender or DM is trying to crack a shot from 40 yards out, which always ends up in the top tier of an empty stand. Embarrassing.

He should sign on for the England cricket team then.

I said exact same thing about Murphy when people questioned the money spent on him at his age. "C'mon, he's just played a full season for Fulham, and won player of the year. He's not suddenly gonna turn crap overnight." ☺ I'm therefore not going to comment on Downing. ?

???????

Ah, such fond memories. I do love to reminisce. ??

3 wins on the bounce, safety assured, heading for mid table finish, a load of our players back on form and showing some real promise on the pitch......... ....... and BRFCS has fans ripping each other's heads off. True story.

When he was struggling a year or so ago, I said to a pal why doesn't he just give it up. He's got bags of money, doesn't need to prove anything, and it was embarrassing watching him hack the ball around the course. I confidently stated he would never win a single tournament, let alone a major. Well, he sure has rammed those words down my throat. And hats off to him for that. To have the hunger at his age to produce that masterclass, quite remarkable really. And although I don't particularly like the guy, you're right that moment at the end with his Mum and kids was very touching. They've seen him toil and suffer for a decade now (a lot self inflicted), so to see it all pay off and the redemption arc completed was a great thing. Well done Tiger!

Scores, they ain't results yet. A bit to go. Was just looking at table, if hull come back to win, Wigan cud go into bottom 3 on goal difference. ....... and Hull score as I finish post.

So gonna enjoy them failing to get up if it happens. They've had a thread on one of their messageboard for about 2 weeks now: "Potential targets after promotion". Methinks someone has "got ahead of themselves".

Amen. Cook, and them relishing in our demise,win my vote in the race all day long. Glad we hammered their goal difference last night too. What goes around, comes around.

Some quotes from the commentator last night that made me chuckle: "That was pretty unconvincing by Raya." (a kicked clearance) "That was a hefty touch by Armstrong" "Blackburn have been having some difficulties in defence recently. " You could basically shoehorn those into any game of any stage of this season.

He doubled down! Bold.

Crazy weren't it. How bad is that. Was screaming in living room: and another lost.... and another......Yep one more... Aaarrgghh!

Fair assessment that BB. Seems about right, but still slightly nervous. Annoying that we have to even consider this. We were so comfortable at one point, players have let themselves down.

I actually meant win the league, cos that is what he has proclaimed confidently for about 5 weeks now. But it's all for a bit of fun and good causes, so I would probably stretch to automatic. Anyway, he's bottled it so no matter. Must be something they put in the water in Yorkshire, or maybe he's wearing a white shirt today. ?

Come on then fella, let's pony up with a wager to make things interesting. I already have my bet with a Wigan pal for who finishes higher of us two. Would be fun to have something going at the other end of the table as I check the scores each week. For a charity bet, a quick Google of sites that have easy donation options that are provable gives me: Disability Sports Yorkshire (If I lose) Blackburn Food Bank (If u lose) What you willing to stump up for a couple of worthwhile causes? £20 or £30?

I shall be monitoring this statement as time progresses. What a difference a month makes.
