I honestly have no idea where they get the notion about their ‘potential’ from. They had a billionaire hoying loads of money at them for several years and after narrowly avoiding relegation for 5 years or so (almost miraculously on at least one occasion) they ended up having consecutive relegations anyway.

Funny how the way most of them are describing Derby is more applicable to their own club

You have to be a moron or a cunt (or a bit of both) to want to go ahead with this now. Although there’s plenty of those around

Kate Hooey is actually mentally ill I reckon

I still struggle to believe this is all happening

Would’ve worked if CT had bothered to explain it

She's probably just the latest clone to expire

I doubt anyone investigating would ever get to the bottom of it but that's not to say he won't fuck off from Chelsea anyway.

Been following this story a bit. He's now an Israeli citizen. The laundering of his money via Chelsea stinks to high heaven like

It's odd quite a few of the papers seem to think her (or 'her') tweeting somehow shows everything is ok. It's surely a little bit strange for her not to have appeared in public for 20-odd days.

Quite funny:

Have to wrap up the tail now. Shame it's just a two match series. The four match one over here a couple of years ago was class

The chronicle article on him is class: The bit I've put in italics is lifted straight off his wiki page.

Correct, CT. There will be no special deal for the UK despite all the lick-spittles who have visited Trump to remind him of the imaginary "special relationship".

Not Scatman John?

Looks like the UK steel industry will get a cracking deal from Trump.

Inviting a load of fans to turn up to welcome him would be a mag thing to do

It's great, man. Short did almost exactly the same sort of shit and not even very long ago and it's like they have developed this collective amnesia as though this new lot are doing something completely new and exciting. The difference of course is that the new fella has nowhere near the funds that Short had

Maybe he could just wear a badge with it on or something like that.

Actually, as an aside, one thing Bayliss was saying over the winter was that T/20 internationals should be done away with. It won't happen because they're money-spinners but I tend to agree. As he said, you could still have a T/20 World Cup (which I think works better than the bloated version of the One-Day World Cup we now have) and the teams could play a few friendlies in effect, in the run up to the tournament. The rest of the time, leave it outside the international calendar. Even that would ease fixture congestion a little bit. They don't get as much coverage because it's not as big an organisation but you could argue the ICC is as corrupt and self-serving as Fifa. Possibly more so these days. I know he's not involved in the ECB any more but Giles Clarke is a perfect example of the dangers of the administrators just chasing more and more money with no concern for the long-term welfare of the game.

Not the only thing most of them have in common
