No thanks.
New Year is a time of reflection, where we at Reform UK turn are thoughts to absent friends and patriots. Raise glass to Thomas Mair, Darren Osborne, Peter Lynch, Wayne O'Rourke and that belkend who died falling off a lamppost for no reason. Lest we forget, thet died for are sins
No bungee jumping Jesus?
First photoshoot finished today and now I’m on the top deck, front seat of the 21 bus, which goes through Lewisham, Peckham and onwards. I’m spoiling myself with this tour. Here I’m starting off and looking at all of the tourist attractions of Lewisham. I think I got them all in.
Imagine arguing about this.
IMAGINE THINKING ROOT IS BETTER THAN SMITH. Joe Root just hit 160. Great. He’s tied with Ponting at 41 tons. Fantastic. But let’s be real: Root is playing a different game than Steve Smith. 🙄 While Root spent the last two years racking up hundreds on flat tracks to fix his…
I admire optimism. England scoring 500 in 3 sessions to set Aussie 300-350. Man.
Australia 518/7 at stumps. Wonderful 💯 by Travis Head and Steve Smith. Good supporting acts by Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green and Beau Webster. Australia have a lead of 134 runs. At this point of time they are calling all the shots. Today was the best time for batting.…
Agree. Everyone acting as if "playing sensibly", whatever that is, has been a rip roaring success on the last three tours. Lose, but at least show you can't technically hack it, rather than try to go out all guns blazing. As always, play attractive cricket, don't take risks!
Has everyone finally finished kicking the living daylights out of Jamie Smith? Yes it was rash shot, but one of many played by England in the series and the reaction was grossly excessive and deeply unpleasant. I feel for the guy.
Being a touch churlish, as I am reading his book, but note how "dead rubber" wins are being dismissed now, but when the prodigal son scored a double ton in one, the same people were telling me how there was no such thing as a dead rubber. Funny that.
Over-performer given big chance - Moyes Old playing hero, knows club - Solskjaer Serial winner - Mourinho Football Philosopher - Rangnick Up And Coming - Amorim Old Purist - Van Gaal Success overseas, rattled cages - Ten Haag What's next to try? The club is impatient, unserious
"Manchester United have got to appoint a manager that fits the DNA of their football club" 🧬 Gary Neville reacts to the news of Ruben Amorim being sacked by Manchester United 🔴
As my friend says, never has a suburb of a city had a name so unsuitable for pronunciation like Rotherhithe for its locals (my Mum was brought up there). We say it Rovvrivve. My SE London bruvvers and sisters.
I’m properly spoiling you all today with my little guided tours of London. Now I’m here in Rotherhithe. A beautiful little location, with the Mayflower Pub, St Mary’s Church and a watch house. If you watch and listen, I’ll even tell you what a watch house was.
United got a manager because his team thumped City in the Champions League. He was a coaching "genius".... wind on 14 months and he's the snake oil salesman? LOL. I mean, come on......
Good luck with that in a proper court.
Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he…
Numbskull. Joburg 2016. Comes in at 22 for 2. Trailing by 300. Makes a huge 110 to bring us to parity, and then we bowl the hosts out for 83. Numpties like Rabada and Morkel bowling. Ashes 2015. Aussie bowled out for 60. Root makes 130. Nonsense.
Such a loser and a flat-track bully. Blud choked throughout the series, looking completely out of form, but the moment he got flat decks in two matches, he suddenly found his touch and scored a hundred in each. That pretty much sums up his Test career. He’s never scored tough…
Only one of these teams lost to the Dolphins this season.....
Can Win Super Bowl: 1. Bills 2. Eagles 3. Rams Would Surprise Me: 4. Texans 5. 49ers Would Shock Me: 6. Seahawks 7. Patriots 8. Broncos 9. Jaguars Absolutely No Chance: 10. Bears 11. Packers 12. Chargers 13. Steelers 14. Panthers
If someone has their technique undressed and is bowled or nicks off a lot it is somehow more meritorious than getting out to a mishit attacking shot.
Justin Langer said, “not for the first time in this series, Jamie Smith has played one of the dumbest shots you’ll ever see in Test cricket”. - Marnus Labuschagne can't believe it! What a poor shot by Jamie Smith 😲 - What's your take 🤔
Another coaching "genius" comes to Old Trafford, and is an "idiot" within 12 months and gone soon after. As with Spurs, one day they may figure out that the manager isn't the problem......
