    Jesus. Just Googled this and, well eff me: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/24/radcliffe-defends-decision-to-let-van-de-velde-compete-at-olympics Flew to the UK when he was 19 to rape a 12 year old he'd met online knowing her age full well. I like horses as much as the next...

    Indeed. "Centaur" is the preferred term nowadays. Pronouns are neigh/neigh.

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    Ha, quite. We can all draw the obvious inferences (complete misread of pitch/conditions or no faith in his batting line up) and neither is very flattering for Kraigg. Although if the Windies are 500/2 at COP tonight I'm prepared to fully recant and bow to the great man's acumen.

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    Well, that's the assumption BMac seems to be making, but I never thought we'd see a 41 year old selected as a seam up bowler for England either, so what's three more years on the clock to a (in the nicest possible way) freak?

    He did and I've no gripe with him playing home tests (very useful cricketer, ideal for English seaming decks, lower order runs and all), but as one of the reasons given for moving on from Jimmeh is t'Ashes Woakes's retention does kinda make it look like bullplop given his less than stellar away...

    Out of context sports clothing

    My Godfather was (is, in fact) a T*ttenham fan and I was a contrary little bleeder, even as a child. :ph34r: Actually I think my supporting the Arse was a correlation rather than a causation (I actually don't remember making a conscious decision but, looking back, our 82/83 run to the FA semis...

    Southgate resigns

    Klopp or Poch, please. Think Southgate will be fondly remembered when the dust settles; saw a stat today that he's won 9 KO games in four tournaments; for perspective between 68-16 we won six in total.

    Already working his magic with the Cherry Blossoms. Congrats also to our U20 chaps who backed up their defeat of the Baby Boks in the group stage by beating Ireland in the semi and who will now face Le Petit Bleus in the final after they turned around an earlier 1 point loss to NZ in their pool...

    Quite the vertiginous fall from grace for young Ryan. PED ban, smashing up hotel rooms and now racist rants on TPFKA Twitter. Can't help but wonder if all these are connected somehow?! :ph34r: Seriously though: get sober, get sane, kiddo. EDIT: Forgot to add "missing the weight limit for a...

    England players and selection discussion thread

    It was a great series, tbf. &, it must be said regardless of the result, I've never seen a more passive performance from an Australian team. England made all the running. But yeah, devoid of context it does rather read as if he's got tickets on himself.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Potts is deceptively slow, IMHO. Bustles in with his chest puffed out, but tops out ~85mph and more often just around 80. He's not bad by any stretch, but Ollie Robinson has looked head and shoulders above any other recent(ish) seam up debutant we've tried in the last 2-3 years. Potts looks a...
