    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    'The astonishing thing about Souness signing Johnston is not so much that he's signed a Catholic, but more that he's signed a Scot.' I forget who wrote it, but it got big laughs at the time.

    Also Ince leaving leaving West Ham to go to Man Utd didn't go down terribly well iirc.

    Now looking good for the draw as they haven't lost a single wicket all day.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    You timed that well. I reckon D'Oliveira was dismissed within seconds of your post. As for Edgbaston, yes the pitch looks a shocker. Credit to Foakes though, the game was a long way from safe when we were 217 for 5, and subsequently 346 for 9.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    I'm not sure why Yorkshire are still batting. Currently 515 ahead on a pitch that seems to have eased somewhat, you'd think they want as many overs as possible to bowl Essex out. EDIT Jonny does agree after all. For a bit, I thought he wanted to reach 3 figures before declaring. Ah, it was...

    English Domestic Season 2025

    Edgbaston not looking such a road now that a better attack is having a bowl on it. And Jason Roy's return to red-ball cricket didn't last very long, which I suppose isn't much of a surprise given how little cricket of any variety that he plays nowadays. EDIT Sheesh, I've just seen Roy's...

    Maybe, but we've struggled to bowl sides out at The Oval too.

    Hi Mods. Do you fancy removing these when you have a spare moment. Thanks.

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I think one of my daughter's ex team-mates has been playing for Portsmouth this season. Does the name Lily Dent ring a bell?

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I watched this last night, and it's simply wonderful. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0020541 To the uninitiated (like me beforehand) it's about what was really the first ever women's football world cup, which took place in Mexico in 1971. But it's not officially recognised as that due to...

    Baines is a good shout, and I couldn't honestly begin choose between him and Derek Statham. Collymore vs Worthington? Who knows. Unless both played in a very old fashioned formation.

    The bloke I subsequently considered for the third midfield spot was Gerry Francis, who was good enough to be England's captain for a while until injuries did for him. But, at his peak, he was very good. In goal, Pickford may be better than Springett.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Bayern securing the title means I'll have to remove Kane from the best English players never to win a trophy XI that we were discussing a couple of years ago. From memory: Ron Springett Jimmy Armfield, Neil Franklin, ?????, Derek Statham ?????, Johnny Haynes, Tony Currie Matt Le Tissier, Frank...

    English Domestic Season 2025

    You're looking pretty comfortable now: 312 ahead with 6 wickets left. Interesting finish between Yorkshire and Warwickshire. The Bears should be OK, but a couple of wickets would change everything. EDIT Alternatively, Essex could lose their last 5 wickets for 7 runs and set a target of 321...
