    *Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

    I find it funny how many no balls Jadeja bowls as a spinner. He does so many things in the sport to a 9/10 or better level but can't consistently keep his foot behind the line as a spinner.

    let’s remember some guys

    Trott was legit one of the best ODI batsmen in the world from 2011 and 2013. Played for a team that got to number 1 in the world and should've won the Champions Trophy. England's truly embarrassing period in ODIs began when he left the team. Though having said that batting in the format evolved...

    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand 2020/21

    Realised the other night that Jaimeson is the cricket Erling Haaland, both in appearance and in coming out of nowhere to dominate the highest level of the sport. I realise probably none of you will get this reference.

    *Official* West Indies in New Zealand - Nov/Dec 2020

    Didn't know Jamieson could consistently bowl these in-swingers to the right hander / out-swingers to the left hander that he's done this test. Has had a pretty big impact on how good I think he is.

    Arsenal academy lads opening up the chance. You love to see it.

    I remember MNF did a feature on it a while ago. Beckenbauer seemingly played the entire game like Gerrard played the second half against Chelsea in 13/14 after his slip.

    Tbf I just looked and he has 91 assists in his La Liga and PL career which is pretty great. He'd be a wingback or fullback if he arrived on the scene now probably.

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    The only tournaments I have good knowledge on are 2014, 2016 and 2018. Didn't follow football much during the 2010 and 2012 ones and was pretty young for the 04-08 stretch (the first tournaments I can remember). So you probably won't be the worst.

    It's a bit cliche but they lack a bit of the Klopp mentality these days. Though I'm prepared to let them off today given they had no fans, key players injured/not fit yet, and were playing their third game in 10 days after a two month break

    Anyone here fancy a draft? The discussions a couple of pages back got me thinking we could do one where we have to pick player from a World Cup or Euros that they've played in, and they're rated based on their performances that tournament. I.e. you could pick Mbappé 2018 or Zidane 06 etc. Could...

    andrew flintoff was a bit **** really

    The other thing is Flintoff's series stats are a bit worse than we imagine because he was bad at Lords and that's kind of forgettable. He averaged 50 and 24 in the four tests after that and was the top run scorer in those tests.

    Why did Rooney not get the same level for 06? Was it simply that the opposition villain in this case was a big Premier League player and thus could take more of the blame?

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    Worst case scenario I can see them abandoning next season and just trying to finish this one at some point before Euro 2021. It seems likely that if the virus isn't a problem over the summer it will have a resurgence in the autumn/winter. So planning another full season is risky anyway...

    Alternative measure: let someone with a good xG model simulate the rest of the season's fixtures :ph34r:

    Yeah I like it. I guess I'd put that third in my pecking order. I've seen an elongated qualifying campaign for CL/EL spots suggested as part of this.

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    Would it really be worse to say 3/4s of a season counts as a full season than saying it counts as nothing? It would absolutely be unfair to relegate/promote teams when teams haven't played the schedule, but any more unfair than saying next season starts with Leicester not in Europe, Leeds in the...

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    Bundesliga have proposed a situation where they promote sides currently in promotion spots but don't relegate anyone. Can then have a longer 20/21 season with a bigger top division (all the tiers below in the pyramid would stay the same size). They have a bit of extra breathing room with only 18...

    Mikel Arteta has tested positive. Barely an hour after the PL confirmed it was business as usual this weekend. Incredible.
