Hope you are right but I think China knows it is the next world superpower and they will need to show it, sooner than later.

What do you mean no engine development? I'm under the impression that this season they were allowed to again develop their engines after the 20/21 freeze. Hence why Bagnia is talking about using the 2021 engine as he's not liking the new 22 engine. The problem is that Yamaha don't see it as a priority and they feel it has more than enough power and more would be detrimental to the rideability of the bike, so they will always suffer at tracks like Qatar where brut power helps (or have I misread your statement and you've just said what I've said?). The Suzuki is looking more competitive, hard to tell with the KTM as they are going to be fucked with night qualifying and not being able to use their preferred harder front tyre. Aprilia is always going to have problems with one great rider Alesh and one sometimes talented but damaged individual. Ducati for all their progress at the end of last season look like they may have scored an own goal with the new bike and Honda, well Honda are just such an unknown. I've just agonised for the last hour over who to have in my fantasy team, first there practice sessions of the year have done nothing but confuse the fuck out of me.

China will be in Taiwan before August, they are just watching how little the US is doing regarding the Ukraine and planning how far they can "annex". It's interesting how little has been mentioned about Putin wanting to maintain Europe's reliance upon Russia's supply of fossel fuels and his rejection of green power. Taking control of the Ukraine's nuclear plants is a huge part of that plan, so one down. Did anyone watch Occupied? This was a quote from the Russian Noweigan ambassador at the time:

In Thailand, in his villa, hopefully Warnie went out "on the job". RIP Shane hopefully the scoresheet up there will read Caught Marsh Bowled Warne.

Well there is that for you and your countrymen but here, obviously it's a different story. And as Doug says, Marsh's and Boon's records were merely because they had further to travel on a plane, Doug was probably still drinking in the cab on the way home/to the hotel and he never tried to claim those! TBH I've not given a fuck about cricket since that lot, Marsh, Walters, Lillee, Thommo, etc retired from cricket as it's been nothing but a series of absolute twat since. Those that followed have never been anywhere near as good as that Australian team and that's why they've sledged/cheated their way ever since - with Chappell's decision in 1981 the start of it all. Marsh actually challenged him on the ground and protested against it, so fair play to Marshy.

How could you hate Marshy? He and cousin Doug were part of the Australian team you could actually be proud of, unlike the current bunch of cheating cunts. RIP Marshy, enjoy your cold tinny after the big game in the sky.

There was an adidas warehouse store here in Sydney that always had weird versions of things. When adidas use to make our shirts you’d find versions that didn’t have sponsors logos all the time but only ever in one size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmbSM1yKPHI

He had a really bad time with covid last year, so possibly related, especially when you consider his history. Still to young.

RIP ML

Must be the weather for it as I was listening to this the other day!

Good point.

We can have these twats if we actually go for it.

Wrong player Eddie.

Bruno Bruno Bruno

With legs that size he has to run twice as far as everyone else on the field.

Krafth has blown a bollock.

Fraser getting a kicking like Zouma's cat.

Burn showing everyone you don't stop until the whistle.

Be good to see if Bruno can do what we all want him to do and control the midfield. This game is a free hit so do it now Eddie, Bruno for Shelvey.

They did against Krafth in the first half but generally no.

How old is Craig Dawson, wasn't he a shite centre half for West brom in the early 00s?

Targett is a great player, hope we make it permanent in the summer.

Our ginger called it.

fuck yes
