Crawley......🙄

65 run partnership for the 9th wicket hurts... half expect a rabbits in the headlights second innings from England.

At tea the lead is 209 and building. Two crucial dropped catches in the same over could cost England the match. And, based on progress to date, they'd deserve to lose. Nowhere near good enough.

Usual England...rabbits in the headlights syndrome we have all seen many times. Thanks for the Ashes schedule Paddington / Sniffer... now busy trying to work out how I can make it happen!

Great way to see it. I want to do that but my wife is still scarred by the light plane she took over GC with her sister on a previous trip. But honestly, that is a fabulous way to see it. I'm envious.

That's fine if you plan for it but just need to be aware that road trips can be exhausting. One such example is if you drive from Vegas to Grand Canyon. It is a long drive and if you are heading back to Vegas, you will spend a long time in your car that day. GC is impossible to take in for 3 or...

Yeah, booking yourself is really easy as all you have to do now is proper research on the interwebs and you'll always find something you fancy. America is really easy to find good places and reasonably wallet friendly although AirBNB owners do take the piss with cleaning fees. Even the AirBNB...

If you are heading to Atlanta, take in the Martin Luther King museum and surrounding area. It is free and very revealing about the time when America started to come to its senses as far as race was concerned. Still took many decades after but that was a starting point. New Orleans is an...

TV presenter Simon Cowell has passed aged 64. Not the music man.

Man to man marking would make a difference rather than the zonal marking bullshit we have failed with. Quite obvious that if you zonal mark and only have one man vs two opposition players in that zone what might happen. The Collins goal was criminal either way but if you give someone the...

It is quite obvious to me that our defenders / midfielders aren't drilled enough in their defensive duties. I was reading Tony Adams or Lee Dixon's book, I forget which, a few years ago and one of them mentioned how many hours they spent on the training pitch simply running defensive drills...

Story to tell his grandkids... "Let me tell you about the game where we scored 823 / 7d".... "What you score Grandad?" ....."Out second ball for a duck son. Hell of a catch."

MLS has most of this apart from the interviews with players subbed off. At the end of the game, the players have 15 mins to themselves before the locker room is opened to media. In my days covering certain teams, I always declined to go in the locker room, a fact appreciated by a lot of players...

Queuing up to open...

What a Test match. Phenomenal.

Maybe South Korea can pay us 20+ mill in compensation and keep him there?

He also thought it was a criminal offence to actually tackle your opponent.

6. When we have a fucking free kick that could potentially create a goal scoring chance, don't be afraid to try it... even just occasionally... once a month would be a fucking start. Learn when to play tip-tap ball and when to try to threaten to score against your opponent... you know, just like...

Actually more... for one fucking game....

Shocking defensively. How, as a coach, you go through that Chelsea second half and allow it to happen again for 90 minutes today is beyond me. I don't think they'll sack him prior to Man City but I do think he'll be gone after that match if we defend like we did today. Defend even half decently...
