Good lord England are dog crap at test cricket. On another note Bancroft has been recalled by the Australian team, so now all the cheats are back.

Looks like it'll be a season just like last season, but with a few more goals scored. Unless Magilore or Wharton become the next Maldini which I doubt. That is very disappointing.

Wasn't he the one who said the club was racist for sacking Paul Ince?

He disappeared from football after destroying racing Santander years ago. I wonder where he is now. Maybe he'll have a joint bid with that fake Sheikh who claimed to be a Saudi prince and owned Portsmouth when they were in similar trouble.

Just skimming through the goings on, and all this seems very much like Michael Knighton and Man Utd. Or John Spano, who briefly owned the New York Islanders ice hockey team and turned out to be a massive fraud.

Wasn't Eastwood crap?

Yep. It would be a disaster, as it would be something else the Raos would use in order to never let the club go. Let's say that Amazon owner wanted to buy the club for arguments sake, the Venkys clowns could then demand more money or refuse to sell the stadium and generally be infuriatingly stupid as per usual.

I was surprised to find out I was classified as a millennial, as I thought it was people born around 2000. Not that any of this has anything to do with the dire need for a central defender and a goalkeeper. How far along is the Man City kid's deal?

No,what I'm saying is if Stuart is a similar age to me (late 30s), he is a millennial. If he is over 40 or thereabouts he isn't.

It could be worse, look up Coventry City's away kit history, as there are some right stinkers.

I assume you are well over 40 years of age then.

Nope. Still shite. That mint green has escaped from the late 80s and the heavy drizzle grey suits something escorting ships in U boat infested waters.

What a bag of wank. That pattern reminds me of the black and grey goalie top I had from around the late 90s. I think CIS insurance were the sponsor. That green trim tops it off.

He's the crap Cardiff forward isn't he? If that is the going rate, I'm happy with the Gallagher deal.

At least one keeper? Didn't we sign some young keeper already?

Hope the fat jobby fails. His agent must be rich from all the club's he has walked out on over the years for a new job. He's probably part of the Destroy and Exit English manager gang.

New Zealand has the rugby world cup later, and the all blacks should win that. My uncle has played against Jimmy Neesham a couple of times at indoor cricket, and always said he was good. Only this moment can come close to the drama or tension of the last half hour https://youtu.be/0XmLqZy_kTQ

As someone said before, why bother signing a kid on loan from Liverpool when we have defenders like Wharton and Magilore around the same age and had beaten this team?

What Herbie said. It's an ice lolly shirt. The colours are what you'd expect a 16 year old free radio listener to wear. So a clever colour scheme for all the glory supporting kiddies.

They couldn't afford Dack. I hope it is Gladwin or Smallwood.

My release of anger and tension may have jinxed New Zealand, but unlike many here I am happy to be wrong when venting my anger at the top 4 batsmen. Butter gave it away but just about redeemed himself. I'm glad Stokes was so pivotal after that mental collapse against the West Indies in the T20 cup. Finally, there needs to be a 30 for 30 documentary about that game. Stuff American sport, this was the most tense I've been since the 2003 rugby union final.

It will happen. stokes and Buttler can't be relied on, as both like to hit it out the ground and the Kiwis have the squeeze on all game. We'd need both to play brilliantly and be aggressive yet sensible and I can't see both doing that. They'll try to hit Boult or Henry and give an easy catch away. At least it is new Zealand, a country I really like and I have a ticket to see Rammstein at the Ricoh.

England is a nation of cowards, bottle jobs, weak willed morons and flat track bullies when it comes to any sport. Or life. Every player in this squad barring the bowlers should never play 1 day cricket again. How many times must we choke at the merest of pressure?

I liked that format, as everyone played everyone, so there was no chance of a top team getting an easy draw and getting into a semi final.

Lennon was a backward step in many ways. It was very much the safe, tedious 'we are happy just to boss the Scottish scene' appointment. Who knows, Puel, Benitez, Blanc or some other name may have been up for it, knowing all they had to do was beat Rangers and get to the Champions League group stage and not get slapped.
