Re: Cricket English Summer 2021

Quite enjoyed the debut hundred. Shot of the night for me was the six over long-on by Mady Viliers (from Shenfield) near the end. Kate Cross looked a top competitor and good speaker too - kept having flashbacks to watching her old man score four at White Hart Lane. Isa Guru presenting was a plus too.

Re: Reading v West Ham Utd: Match Thread

Still triggers memories of being there in the peeing rain on New Year’s Day and getting done 0-6.. shocking doesn’t come close.

Boris will step down well in time before the 2024 campaign begins.

Re: Declan Rice

If it reaches the (probably inevitable) stage where he’s off then £80m plus Lingard or Abraham depending on club, should be a starting point. We’ll probably end up with £50m and a couple of reserves or loanees, plus a nice little top up for the trust funds of certain peoples grandchildren.

Re: Commentators and pundits

Sam Matterface is so cringeworthy, I think I’d rather put up with Tydesley and thats saying a lot. In any event for me and many others, Ally McCoist is the king as far as co-commentators are concerned. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and humorous. Fully agree with all of that, especially about Matterwo...

Yes, I’d add those at Reading too. They have an excellent academy and will be looking to shift some of their best this summer with a likely financial fair play caning coming their way. Bayern have already taken their left back.

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Chelsea: match thread

Can’t recall a meeting with this lot with so much resting on it since late 2002/03 under Sir Trev. Albeit too little too late, that 1-0 win was a nervy but happy day and I’m going for a replica result and tension tomorrow.

Have never understood the clamour for him. Always seemed a liability whether a red card or error waiting to happen. Prefer Cresswell and Johnson any day.
