How much difference does the coach make in cricket though?

Foulthrow

Has he not signed for anyone then?

I can think of another two brothers to play for Burnley....

Michael Williams and Mark Ford.

The Chuckle Brothers.

This obsession with goalies being able to pass it out is daft. A similar trend is hampering Test cricket as England pick the best batsman and not the best keeper. But stopping shots and taking wickets is a thousands times more important than an accurate short pass or 30 odd not out.

Is that because Sam's style is promotion whereas Jones wants relegation?

In fairness, when you are playing the same teams about four times a season I can see how it might get a little tedious.

Can't believe he tried to question the Coleman red on his MOTD interview!

If I had your name I'd be managing a team in the Champions League.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. And an early season return of 12 points suggests that it ain't broke.

Even when he doesn’t play he still gets a penalty.

This has Dave Jones contract written all over it.

Cant imagine that will have gone down well with the Cumbrian KP

Two questions...

1, Who are 'The Originals'?

2, Who is the 'Cumbrian KP?'?

TIA

Absolutely agree, only in England could you win the World Cup in one format, and the season after degrade that format's premier domestic competition, the Royal London Cup, to that of a " development " tournament .. it's a joke .. If people don't want to go to 20/20 cricket, why will they ...

A no from me. I support Lancashire not some mutant Manchester team.

There’s a clip from today’s Spurs training session where Vertonghen & Eriksen are both walking along talking together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y3aYlnsC8M They might be having a discussion like Broad and Anderson often do before a Test match..... "So, mate, which end would you prefe...

Street party? Effin national day of celebration!

Barnes didn’t get booked for that He got booked for dissent after being tripped in the centre as we broke forward and not getting a free kick for it Yep. Exactly this. Immediately before McGinn had spent five minutes screaming at the ref for not giving something. McGinn wasn’t cautioned. Barnes did...

We’re fortunate to be playing Chelsea before they sack Lampard. Hopefully they’ll have an off day and we can capitalise on that.

Bordeauxclaret wrote:What happened with Tarkowski and Mings in the corner near the end?

From what I saw Tarks was shepherding it out and Mings absolutely clattered him. Like Jay Rod he was completely out of control and lucky not to have been sent off. It was also fortunate that neither player was injured.

Foulthrow

Did he? I thought he had a shocker.

Is it? You don't think that us and Villa could end up 17th and 18th by the end of the season?

Foulthrow

At least we have Atkinson as VAR. I think we've seen that VAR could be done by a chimp - they only look for handballs and offsides. Forget the rest, you're stuck with the ref's decision. However, why would you have such a good ref sat on his backside watching a telly and have someone as incompetent...

Bumping this thread after a while to recommend 'Quickly Kevin Will He Score', 90s football podcast. If you are of the right age you'll love this.

A few of England's top order batsmen should also be banned from driving after their efforts in the Ashes.

I always click on this thread in dread. Fears confirmed. Lee Mason. Cripes.

Ban Ki’s brother?

On the replay Barnes actually gets fouled twice. He flicks it over the Norwich lad who catches his thigh and then he trips his other foot. And still no pen. VAR means we get punished twice. Soft penalties will still be given against us and upheld by VAR. And we still won't get stonewall pens. I mean...

Thing is most teams do a couple of nervy passes before it gets hoofed anyway. Pointless

Good to hear Ian. I think we are members of the same "book club". Is their app up and running again or are you accessing it via another method?

It is amusing that when Cameron was PM he wouldn't go anywhere near a TV interview and avoid scrutiny from the media like the plague. But now he's got a book to plug he's all over the place!! Why has no-one asked him the obvious question yet though - did you put the offer of a referendum in the Tory...

So. Real Madrid, who normally play in white are playing in blue because PSG, who normally play in white, are wearing blue. A shambles.

I can see Broad moving into the media side of things when he packs in. He comes across exceptionally well in his podcast with Stephen Fry.

Foulthrow

I think it is because of the split divisions with only 8 in Div one play 14 but 10 in Div 2 and only play 14 as other competitions all 18 play the same games. If the second Division played 18 4 day matches there would be fixture congestion due to the additional 20 fixtures Ah. Right. Fair enough. H...

Not gone well today for Lancs.....

I don't know what the contractual obligation is between the ECB and the Sun or Stokes and the Sun but I'd issue an outright ban on any Sun reporter attending press conferences or official functions. Absolute bastards. If I was a Sun journo I'd be resigning. Imagine having the gall to tip up at an E...

Why do you never see Bailey mentioned as a potential England call up? Always seems to be doing really well for Lancs.

If any Man City fans are thinking of going away on holiday then I'd recommend Tenerife. You can't beat the Canaries at this time of year.

Great win in the end today. Amazing that, in a series where England seemed so far behind so much of the time, they have been able to draw 2-2. Still looks like England have someway to go before they become a strong Test side again especially when the batting looks so fragile. Can't remember the last...

You’d like a lead above 400 but we’re bound to collapse at some point.

Poor from Root again.

I can only assume Pattinson is injured because he looks a much better bowler than Siddle to me.

Burns gone. Trying to be too aggressive against Lyon

Foulthrow

What kind of lead is beyond the reach of Smith? A scary thought....

I'll open the bidding at 460. I reckon, given enough time, that's how many the Aussies could chase with Smith. He's playing ridiculously well.

Foulthrow

Why do they play only 14 games??? 10 teams in the division, play everyone twice, should be 18 games or am I going mental???
