For all that Japan played absolutely top of their game (all credit for that), it was a very lacklustre Irish performance. It's difficult to know why that effort was so much down on the one v Scotland but the coaches need to work that out and correct it or they wont get a long way in the competition....

Looks like Wolves owners are going to be badly hit by this. They owned 18%

One of the papers today reporting that they (Fosun) will lose over £1 billion

Agree with Cleveleys. Poch has done an excellent job at Spurs over the past few years, especially against a backdrop of the new stadium move/delays. Getting 8th at Southampton was a fine achievement too. However, it really looks like the peak has now been passed with the team he's built up at Spurs....

More like an old cricket-field end song.
Bits I remember..... (As mentioned, Jim Reeves popular tune)......

I hear the sound.... of distant bums
Over there, over there (make gestures towards away fans)
And do they smell?

Yes- Ings has netted (against the run of play). I think he got one last time we played at Fratton Park- the game where we got a good win and Charlie banged a few in as well. I noticed that guy with the long hair/tall hat & bell that they always used to get on camera on the home kop is still there (a...

I thought Bairstow must be touch and go for this tour.
Good to see Saqib Mahmood & Parky in the party though, good experience for them even if they dont get a test match.

LeadBelly

91-6 now with Gleeson already having a fivefer.
They'll need to keep playing well to finish with a result in this game I feel, it looks like there'll be a fair bit of time lost due to weather.

LeadBelly

When the season started we were 2nd or 3rd favourites for the drop and stayed there despite the 3-0 opening result. We started "movin on up" lately with our last 2 results & several other clubs doing poorly. I had a pre-season bet on Palace to go down because I thought they'd lose Zaha as well as Wa...

Failing to hold a lead v 10 men will be a confidence blow for Villa (albeit away to a "big" team); more so than if they'd just lost narrowly to a full Arsenal XI (like we did a few weeks ago). The pressure will be really on them next week, hope we can play positively like yesterday & take advantage ...

Keane had a very good career with Forest (despite the odd fracas with Clough), doubt they were ever seriously looking to loan him out. He nearly got sold to Rovers of course but something went wrong with the paperwork and Fergie stepped in. A terrific player to have on your side but no great shakes ...

I watched the Chelsea v Liverpool game on TV. I'm not in the least a Chelsea fan but thought they had a strong 2nd half and deserved a point. Kante seemed back to his best and Mount & Abraham are progressing well so far under Lampard. I think Chelsea will be pushing for one of the 2 or 3 spots behin...

LeadBelly

Italy v Namibia done and dusted. Ireland v Scotland at 08.45. Key game for both with Ireland having been faltering a bit (from their high) in recent games and Scotland having a lot of flair players. I'm neutral here but had a bet on Scotland to win by 1-5 points. England should deal with Tonga after...

a very bitter man. has he ever said anything positive about anything ????

Just his dog Triggs and that's about it.

That first half from Newcastle was really poor, especially as the home side; made BHA look like a top 6 side. They improved a bit towards the end but (as the old saying goes) they were lucky to get nil. Next 3 games are Leicester away, Man U home and Chelsea away. Cant see them moving much up the ta...

Safas were all over NZ in the first 20 minutes but only got 3 on the board. A few mistakes over a 5-10 minute spell and they're left trailing at 3-17. Beauden Barrett is so good to watch, he's got great hands and balance and so cool in his decision making; cant give him an inch. SA need the next sco...

I thought driving bans came into effect from release too. It'd be pointless ghaving the ban running concurrently with jail time. Not that it probably matters, this guy will probably drive as he pleases when he's out.

Loving it. I live in north Hampshire, there are a lot of fans of the London clubs here + Reading, Saints and Portsmouth. Saints fans are the ones I find the worst (in terms of seeing themselves as a "big club" and deserving of success). Not only that but I had a small bet on for the away win at 5/2 ...

As per previous post: I think people like this tend to drive whether or not they're banned, uninsured/driving an unsafe car etc. He was doing 72 mph in a 30 limit zone; we've probably all edged over the limit on occasion but that takes some serious "couldnt give a ****" attitude.

Hope nobody turns up at that pub at 8.40pm hoping to see a live match.
Bet they'll do a decent trade in bacon butties to go with the ale for those morning games.

Conyoviejo - it must've been 1960s last time you watched the 15 man game (I think you're only doing a bit of playful stirring anyway). Something in what you said 50+ years ago but it's not that routine to kick (directly) to touch nowadays. I always preferred League to Union when I was growing up 50s...

Not got round to listening to Hunter album yet though Ive seen promo videos of a couple of tracks. I got the first two albums and the Strange Weather EP but I felt her early material was best.

I take it this is a Mercury Prize thread? I looked at the list this am & Anna Calvi, Cate Le Bon and Foals were the only ones Id ever heard of; Anna Calvi the only one I rated.

I'm not sure why Cameron has written the book (that's led to current publicity), he hardly needs the money (though I think he got a ridiculously big advance for something that I cant see breaking any sales records).

This game is one of the Sky "Super 6" (a fair few people on here taking part in a Clarets league based on that) - Ive gone 1-0 there so Ill stick with that.

Yes Tribesman- that NZ v SA clash is a very big match come early.
Bookies have NZ clear favourites to win the competition, then SA marginally shorter than England as 2nd/3rd favourites so a bit of a fixture oddity for that game to be on the 2nd day.

Really looking forward to it. I'm retired so I can live TV-watch most of the games (on ITV; some 06-0/6.30 kick offs but most 08.00-08.30 and then 11.15 ish). That's my morning entertainment taken care of for the next 4 weeks or so. I'm doing the Telegraph Fantasy WC Rugby (free) game just to add in...

I doubt his book will be a success for the publisher, I hope not anyway.

I'm glad we had a referendum but I think he's a creep and doesn't really have any redeeming features. Ive no interest in hearing anything further from him about any subject (same for Blair) & hope all book buyers feel the same.

5 points from 15 available, continued throughout the season, would see us on 38 points. A slightly more appropriate analysis might be... 3 points from 2 home games = 1.5 points per home game 2 points from 3 away games = .67 points per away game 19X1.5 + 19X.67 = 41 points. Probably giving a 14th/15...

Aye WaDe seems pretty disliked. Bairstow reffered to him as sh**stirrer out there. I expect a few words going his way if he's out sometime soon

LeadBelly

1/25 at the bookies. He should win easily, he may spin it out a bit but 6/7 rounds maximum surely.

LeadBelly

Current odds at Bet365 are: England win 1/3, Oz win 11/4, draw 25/1.

Obviously this may change if we perform the almost standard collapse tomorrow but England are clearly current favourites - despite Smith's obdurance/excellence.

LeadBelly

Some truth in what you say Foulthrow but, thankfully, an innings closes when 10 men are dismissed even if Mr Smith is still batting away in excellence at his end. If we can get a bit over 230 this 2nd inning (big IF maybe), I'd fancy our chances- even if SPD Smith gets 100+ again.

Brighton have most possession and territorial advantage but we scrape a goal: 0-1.
Usual Brighton forum histrionics to follow.

As somebody (I think Butler) said in an interview after play yesterday- it's a good cricket wicket in that batsmen can graft some decent runs if they apply themselves sensibly but also bowlers can take a few wickets if they bowl well. Good to see that. I've got tickets for tomorrow and Sunday so hop...

In the real world, if you start a new job (especially if you've been made redundant/demoted at your last job) you are on your best behaviour/extra willing to try & impress.

Yes- the last home ashes test is usually finished by late August but the WC games running to mid July have screwed that up this time.
