yes, but was he a defensive midfielder?

just because everyone has been calling out for fewer defensive midfielders doesn't mean you play cole palmer in there. i didn't watch the match but it sounded brave and brainless

I’m only watched it on and off when it started to get interesting as wickets were tumbling but it looked to me like Pakistan knew they couldn’t win and threw in the towel, the Woakes delivery opening ball aside, which was a Jaffa that looked like it hit a crack

It’s all in the head. They’ve got form for not turning up in second innings

it looked like a road for two innings so that's piss poor by pakistan. hearts like peas

This is their Jezza moment. Years in the wilderness beckon

Great - now can't get button mushrooms out of my head

Oh. I get it. Please don’t compare boxing with American football

i bought it second hand, so technically didn't give my money to musk. the royal conscience is clear

exactly

It’s a double threat - we have Renton, our lucky charm who never sees us lose when he goes to the match, and the undefeated KING of the match thread.

i get that. some of them are like looking into a different world. it's almost too vivid. the tech is amazing. ours is from about a decade ago and i was blown away by the 4k resolution at the time. it's still absolutely fine but it seems pretty drab compared to the latest tech. it's also started making a weird hum which is a bit annoying - but not too annoying yet that i'm ready to blow north of a grand on a replacement

no, it was an asian small plates joint called bonsai. though i quite liked the place you mention too. it's nice to be able to order anything off the menu!

you wouldn't think so given the fuss they make about it. and don't get me started on the "world" series

the problem with that theory is american football is poor imitation of rugby and few people outside of the states give that much of a shit about it. football is the global game and american football will never reach the same number of eyeballs

That’s the PL’s position btw, not mine, I think it’s bullshit and we’d soon develop an international fan base to rival Man U, Man Citt and Liverpool if we were allowed to compete

an upstart club breaking the Man City monopoly is a good narrative you’d think but they want to protect PL brand, which like it or not, is built around a small group of clubs and their global fanbase. It’s those clubs which add the value when the PL negotiate with TV companies.

Deep state wankers

a new telly every four years? You must have done serious damage to the old one with all the burnt-in porn images

Wasn’t it plasma TVs that did that?

who regulates the independent regulator though? wouldn't surprise me if it's more business as usual bullshit artists, cowering to the cartel of red clubs

i say let them fuck off to the european super league. the PL and UEFA can continue as it is without the bending over for the closed shop cartel of greedy clubs
