    "Missed Out in 2024 Polls" Draft

    Aravinda (or ‘ravings’ per autocorrect) de Silva Bruce Taylor Mmmhmm. @Bitmap again, I assume.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    I guess overall I follow a lot of random football. Reading match reports about the Isthmian League Senior North all the way up to the Premier League. I follow the results of the teams my mates follow - from Swindon to Oxford to Middlesbrough. I don't know as much about football as I used to due...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Without wanting to be too speculative, there would be some who could see solace in defeat in preventing a rival from winning the division. That's a bit different to actively wanting to lose the match in advance, which is absolutely pathetic. I mean, Tottenham have attracted some pretty ****ty...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    And **** them too. I mean, again, all of the Tottenham fans I know would give their right arm to win the Tin Pot Paints Local Shield Trophy U-19 cup, so I don't know who these ****s are - but I don't dispute they exist but they sure gain more column inches than just normal people do. Why should...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Well, I for one wanted Tottenham to beat Man City this morning because it's a ****ing sport and you should always be looking to win. Bumped into an Arsenal fan friend of mind this morning and told him that if it helps them win the league, that's fine by me. It's largely meaningless parochialism...

    "Missed Out in 2024 Polls" Draft

    I might have a go at this if you don't mind adding me to the list. Seems like a great way to make some of those draft picks you never get to pick as they're not quite good enough.

    Who is Asia's sixth greatest cricketer?

    Voted Waqar as Russel Arnold wasn't an option.

    Anderson to end Test career this summer

    Still feel he's in England's best seam attack. Probably still England's best seamer. If you're still fit and able to go, you should still be picked. I don't like this whole "quiet word" bull****. Hopefully he'll be like England's version of Glenn McGrath in retirement and predict 5 - 0 England...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Great post this. Succinct and provides a pretty reasonable answer without me even having to think about bothering with any fact checking. Nice one, Moss. Well, if Steve "Munro" NZ says this, then I guess that's the line drawn under the argument that Munro would have been a success. I'm happy...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Braintree defeated Worthing in the NLS play-off to climb back up to the National League. 4 - 3 thriller! Decent Essex representation at that level next year with Southend, Braintree and (arguably) Dagenham & Redbridge. Interesting penalty shoot-out in the NL play-off final as Bromley won...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Bit of a crap shoot that match between Essex and Somerset. Could have gone either way, but looks like Somerset took a bit more of an aggressive approach in the 2nd dig to try and negate or overcome the pitch and got the job done. Fair play.

    De Silva Vs Miandad

    As someone who appreciates bowling more than batting, I've gone for Aravinda as he is one of only a handful of batsmen whose batting craft has made me stop and watch that rather than the bowler trying to outfox him. Better output and skillful though Miandad be, Aravinda was adroitness and...

    Good for Browne. Much maligned by the Essex faithful at times.

    How Are You Doing On CM?

    @Furball - I know nothing about Albion Rovers, other than they're a team on the edge of Glasgow. Who would the local rivals be? FM tells me that it's Airdrieonians, but would any Glasgow-ish team constitute a 'rival'? Wiki suggests Motherwell are, despite surely not playing against each other...

    How Are You Doing On CM?

    Even funnier, I drew Rangers at home in the next round and got trounced 4 - 1. Rangers fans would have had an absolute field day with this if it happened in real life. Sad thing is, with a stadium capacity of 1,600, I made bugger all money from either fixture and would have sacrificed the 7 - 0...

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Batted on a pitch like that in Burley in the New Forest, pouring with rain because our captain thought the opposition deserved to win or some such bollocks.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    The Surrey game is much further advanced than the Essex game, and Surrey are comparatively further ahead with it. The Durham pitch looks pretty decent and with the batsmen that Durham have, perhaps their first dig was a little under par. Play will be needed at Durham today for a non-contrived...
