Re: West Ham United V The Clarets 2pm KO

Trafford is actually very poor kicker.

Accuracy not great and his fk just then was so floaty and paceless, keeper took it easily.

Re: West Ham United V The Clarets 2pm KO

My concern is who would be the goal scorers in that team?

Teams like to say they can spread it around. None of our players have received the route map to goal! Only the scenic route!

Anyway, despite that, I have, as usual, predicted a Vlarets victory.

Re: India England 5th test

I am sure watching a one day test match might be fun for some, however, it is not Test cricket. A decent batsman must play himself in and the decide how best to accumulate runs for the team. Sometimes that may be to hit out. At other times, that is a highly impractical means.

Stupid cricket.

Burnley must have had about a good 80% of the possession on Saturday yet failed even to score a single goal despite that, really frustrating to watch.

So, a game where he was not at fault for either goal, you still want to have a go, like the morons who booed him after 10 minutes, absolute disgrace and the sooner they clear off the better.
He is a liability as part of a team playing out from the back. A disaster that happens, time and again.
