These ‘roads’ that he supposedly batted on in New Zealand in 2022 and 2024, would they be the same roads where the average 1st innings total was 302? This, of course, includes the absolute motorway at Wellington (average 1st innings score 314), where Brook scored 123 in England’s mammoth 1st...

Sorry, but it seems wrong to me to have a team that has Alec Stewart batting at 3 (where I’m not sure he batted much and wasn’t a great wicketkeeper), but which excludes David Gower altogether. Also, if you’re playing two all rounders then, as much as I liked Flintoff, Botham was a much better...

Glad you spotted that too. Just didn’t sound right to me, so I actually looked up when she made the speech in question. February 1978 is the answer, more than a year before the general election, so a bit of a stretch for Curtis to say that the Tories were “behind in the election campaign”...

It was finally confirmed to me yesterday how complicit the media are with Farage/Reform. The Chair of Reform was interviewed by Trevor Phillips on Sky News and proudly stated that a Reform government would cut "£300 to £400 billion from public spending". Just let that sink in for a moment -...

Two words - Daniel Levy. I’d be surprised if he hasn’t negotiated a clause that means we owe them money.

I was replying to t4tommo about them using the Darlington Arena.

I think we had to spend something like £5m back in 2016 to upgrade the Riverside to meet Premier League standards. And that was 9 years ago at a Championship standard ground and before the introduction of VAR. You have to have specific floodlighting, sufficient media facilities, camera...

Just out of interest, which out of Isidor’s or Mayenda’s goals wasn’t classed as a ‘big chance’? Because if that’s true, it just shows that the classification is complete b******s.

Surely LXXXVIIIth minute?

The still insist on broadcasters referring to the spectators as patrons and the rough as the second cut. They’ve even banned commentators for failing to follow their diktats.

I'd agree that I don't think this will last as long as that but, just to be clear, although the Great Depression lasted about 10 years, it took 25 years for the stock market to recover its value after the 1929 crash.

Our financial year ends on 30th June doesn’t it?

Even in that situation, the UK producer is in a worse situation than previously, as they didn’t have any US competition before either, but now their product will cost 10% more so they will sell less (and don’t benefit from the increase in price).

THE Boro legend. Simple as that.

According to us, yes. But the US calculation takes into account the fact that many of those services are from UK subsidiaries of US companies, meaning that the income eventually flows back to the US. That’s why you have to understand the difference in the way that both countries calculate the...
