You might well be right, but probably a rant best saved for when the window closes. We're going to be doing a lot of business this summer. It might yet be massively underwhelming but it might see us spend quite a bit on quality players too. No one really knows, the club is keeping its cards...

Well b***r me you're right. Well I'm now pretty confused about a conversation I had with the brother of a lad I know who does umpiring/line judging who told me he was off to do the French Open but wouldn't be as a line judge because it was now automatic. Bloody teenagers! Also confused...

They used it in the French definitely. Not sure if its been used in the others but think I read on the bbc it was one of the last to adopt it.

It will definitely be better than human error. I know someone who has been line judge the last few years (not this one obvs) and he said with the speed of some of the shots you tend to just become a very good guesser based on trajectory etc. Very hard for the human eye to clearly see where it...

She's not the only one. Was watching the match yesterday (not going to attempt spelling her name, last years winner) and there was some pretty odd commentating from Martina N who was saying the players were still grumbling on the close calls, but it helps they now know they're now definitely...

Think the school dinner "curry" always had them in.

Same with any tragedy. Its why I steer well clear of the news on TV these days. Misery porn. Some people seem captivated by it. Really sad reflection on society.

Coogan's verdict (if anyone cares!) and its pretty damning. Makes some good points to be fair although I think he's probably letting those tempted by Reform off too lightly for me. Worth a read IMO...

Adam Johnson too. Thats what? Over £30m in transfer fees for that lot. And no doubt someone could come up with more examples.

They've been a massive improvement on the tories. It needs saying because people have short memories and already seem to be forgetting how shockingly bad the tories were. It also needs pointing out, although those who need to grasp it won't listen, that Farage is most closely politically...

You mean the social services and mental health services that have been cut to the bone?

It was an unique set of circumstances that tornament win. Her opponent in the final Layla Fernandez hasn't hit the same heights again either. Ive seen quite a few commentators suggest it was partly to do with the ball. They use (or used to) a different ball for the women in the US open which...

This stuff isnt new. Ray Mallon (aka Robocop) obviously had success targeting low level crime as chief constable at Cleveland Police. And that was based on an approach taken in Chicago I think. So thats over 20 years ago. Of course knowing this and being able to do it because you've cut...

Well youve probably jinxed it now haven't you! She's been in good form, agreed

Its not like we've signed many "wow factor" players under Carrick is it? Would we have been able to sign Morris, Conway, Burgzog, Borges etc without Carrick being here? I'd say so. The biggest name signing we've made was probably Iheanacho......
