@MajorRage It's pointless except to the small clubs who if they get a televised home tie against a top PL side have the next 3-4 years covered financially

elsewhere for all the talk about the pyramid being England's unique strength the EPL fat cats get their way and replays are now a thing of the past.
Another case of the greed and self-interest of the Top 6 looking to ensure no one can break into their cosy little club. The changes to FFP are more directly about that but this decision shows no sympathy for lower tier clubs, their financial positions or their fans.

Leverkeusen extend season long unbeaten run and Liverpool's Klopp era ending like a flat tyre

Another English cricket stalwart I remember him as head of TCCB in 80's having to deal with one controversy after another - gatting/Rana, rebel tours it was a bad time plus repeat blackwashes

Liverpool and West Ham have both pulled one back. Liverpool should be 2-0 up on the night but Salah continues his dreadful form with an appalling miss 1-1 with the keeper

Nutcases are running Air NZ
Maybe it's best to fly on another airline if possible
I don't understand your point.

My observation would be most of the (undoubted) increase in violence is gang related. Which has escalated with the arrival of the Comancheros who brought a gun culture with them from Oz. Just another present related to the 501's.

The facts on the ground don't inevitably reflect who is winning the PR war.
Israel has never received as much criticism from its erstwhile allies as it has in the last 6 weeks.

It's so much better at tipping than me, it's not funny.
WRONG.

We've picked up 23 points from 18 games against the top 10
Meanwhile we've dropped 10 points from 7 games against the bottom 4.
With our very Fulhamish form and games yet to come against City, Liverpool and Luton the title race and relegation battle are both still wide open....

but only Fulham fans are right!

Nah that wasn't it. Was a longer article - perhaps a companion piece

sorry dunno. I was killing time in a bar. Didn't take that much notice

It just came up in my news feed. I was surprised as I always figure the Spectator to be conservative.
The basic argument was that, despite the rhetoric, Israel are pulling back and conceding ground which Hamas has already reoccupied and there is no stomach for another push from the Israeli populace.
In addition Hamas has won a global PR campaign and that their lies are being treated as gospel, not just by media but by politicians of every ilk.
It wasn't pro Hamas in any way. Said Israel was totally justified in going into Gaza in October but had fucked up the campaign, not helped by Netanyahu being a bit of a nut job himself.
-
Was reading an oped in The Spectator yesterday that effectively said Israel has lost the war and Hamas is stronger than ever.

@Victor-Meldrew Grimmett moved to Sydney before WWI. NZ did not play its first test until 1930 by which time Grimmett was almost 40 and although he played test cricket until his late 40's and first class beyond that he was a dinky-di Ocker by that stage with a family.
Tiger O'Reilly said he was prematurely dropped from the OZ test side and was still the best spinner the world had ever seen when he finally retired.
Best spinner born in NZ without a doubt but have to believe given the limited first class opportunities in NZ that he became the player he was because of his move to Aussie

To be honest I’d assumed he’d died years ago
Vaguely remember him at the end of his firs clad career looking like a figure from an old movie town pre war reel.
Gotta be NZs best leggie.

@Duluth What's Bill Foley doing? The Harbour Black Knights. Could alternate with AFC at a refurbed Knights Stadium in Albany for far less than the cost of building something new.

@dogmeat south island doesn't need another team. Northland are terrible. 15 people live in Taranaki and NP is a shithole. Harbour haven't been relevant since 1996.
there, solved.

Not still bitter at all

I probably shouldn't comment anyway. I lost interest a long time ago. Went from watching every game of every round even though I didn't really have a team I followed to - I can't remember the last time I watched a SR game Finals included. I only follow it through KP's tipping comp - as can be easily gleaned from my results.
It just seems a relatively low quality muddled comp. Expanded too far. Way too many lopsided games, predictable and boring.
