Yeah I don’t think money should come into the discussion about replays. There’s more than enough money in football already, if smaller clubs need the extra money existing funds just need to be distributed better. Same with if they draw a big club at home that is where the game should be. Last...

Vintage non-league goal that

Easy to understand Liverpool’s frustration. I’d think if advantage isn’t played there he gets a second yellow. Flip side is the first was very harsh. Liverpool still feel the stronger team and that if they get them at Anfield on a night where they are in their groove could put a few past them...

Results wise it’s hard to say he’s been anything other than a success so far. Debut innings was great. Almost a quarter of the chase was knocked off by the time he got out today. Even one of his failures in the first innings here only 2 others in the top 7 outscored him. Absolutely it was a...

They are coming to the end but this really has been a great Australian team. Currently hold every test trophy available and the ODI World Cup. Even when they don’t seem to play well they just find a way.

Really good chase from Australia on that pitch. After Perth they’ve played the better cricket and deserve to win the series. No doubt it was a stupid shot from Konstas but he’s young and just needs to learn from it. Still he’s played 2 tests and now played 2 innings that had a big impact on the...

Think that’s a little harsh. I havent seen a 19 year old yet that hasn’t had some technique issues that need fixing at some point and he’s fronting up to one of the best bowlers we’ve seen. He’s trying something different and being super aggressive to combat him but he’s capable and usually...

No issue with him in general and especially his words with Bumrah today. India were probably going to fit another over in until he bought another 30 seconds. Of course it looks silly after Ussie knicks off but the idea was right. The amazing thing to watch was them all get in his face at the...

Think the one thing that saves him is we still haven’t found Warners replacement yet. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is given the Sri Lanka series.

Didn’t mind Konstas getting stuck in to Bumrah again. It had worked well enough until that final ball. From the first ball charge he had thrown him off his usual line and length. I thought he could have us 2 down or worse by the end but he didn’t threaten the stumps like he usually does. He will...

No issue with the call on the catch. I thought probably out but not 100% and not out a completely reasonable decision. Joel Wilson being involved in umpiring international cricket at this point is insane though. It’s not just a joke that he gets so many decisions wrong, the numbers back it up.

I think it comes down to the club and what they actually want to be. Klopp, Arteta and even Pep when he got to City didn’t try and adapt their philosophy to maximise short term results. Everything was aimed at getting to the end goal of competing for titles as quickly as possible. There were...

Statistically he’s already a great but the numbers don’t even give him enough credit. Just over 200 games for Australia now and feels like he has played the key role in winning or saving so many of the close ones or just completely changed the momentum of games so many times.

The Pant shot was a poor one in the circumstances and let us back in the game, but the Kohli one was just as wild. A flashy drive the last over before lunch was crazy. Catching was probably the difference. Aussies clung on to just about everything when India put down some simple ones. Jaiswal...

If India go on with this it might be the best win I’ve seen from a touring side in Australia. They were absolutely gone to the point the fans celebrated avoiding the follow on. This is Eden Gardens 2001 type of stuff if they pull it off. Bumrah won’t finish with the career wicket total of some...

Conte is fighting for the league in Italy. Nuno has Forest top 4 and just beat Spurs. Jose won a trophy with Roma and Poch won in France, got Chelsea to a cup final and was maybe a bit unlucky to be sacked. I think it’s early to bin him but even if Ange does need to go surely at some point...

Chelsea thanks

Some more crazy results. The table really is unreal for this time of year. If England get that 5th champions league spot realistically all the way down to United in 14th are one really good run away from getting up there. Would be great if Forest keep going and a Bournemouth/Fulham/Brighton...

Love the kid standing up to Kohli. Insane from such an experienced player to do something so stupid and get rattled by a 19yo an hour into his first game. Was worried about a player debuting in this atmosphere but he treated them like grade bowlers. Unreal that he told his family last night...

Yeah just looking at the calendar it hits home how small the gap between seasons is. Think a bit more breathing space and time to build to the new season would be better. Then you see something like 4 rounds in May and it’s too much. Nothing feels important because you move straight to the...

Arsenal please

I could probably cop it more if the sport was struggling and it was either let them have a feeder team or have less cars on the grid. But the sport is flying and other parties have actively been trying to get into the category. It seems crazy to just let them run a B team.

No issue with players getting dropped, like you said most players are. Even Marnus is still young enough that if he got dropped now he isn’t done and should come back if he finds form. But it’s particularly harsh after 3 tests, against the toughest attack in the world he’ll have to face in a...

It’ll be exciting to see Konstas play. Probably the most exciting batting debut from a kid we’ve had since Phil Hughes. 100,000 at Boxing Day against the best bowler in the world is a hell of a way to do it. But can’t help but feel for McSweeney. Given just about an impossible job. Not sure how...

Liverpool please

Bottas surely becomes next seasons break glass in case of emergency driver for any teams looking to make a mid-season change.

True but it means a lot less if Australia are down 2-1 and not actually playing for the trophy. The test championship means there aren’t really dead rubbers at the moment anyway I guess. Do the selectors have the guts to pick him and stick til the end of the ashes no matter how he performs...

Wouldn’t be keen to give anyone a debut at Boxing Day. 100,000 crowd, up against Bumrah and one of our biggest matches in decades is a big ask for a kid. I’d be getting him in for Sydney if it’s a dead rubber and if not Sri Lanka though.

Looking at the radar not sure we see much more cricket but if it misses the ground this is seriously ballsy by Cummins

Have they got the math wrong? More rain coming but this is very chaseable if it doesn’t, especially down a bowler.
