Also, love the time in the 70’s he was on Superstars (70’s TV) which was filmed over 2 days, 5 events each day, he went out with James Hunt on the fizz/pull the night inbetween. Allegedly got back to Hotel around 4am and finished last over the 10 events. Hunt, stayed out, didn’t go back to hotel, went straight to the venue for last 5 events and finished up as the overall Winner !!! Fair play. |

Pretty sure that was when he played for England, possibly his debut ?
I think his usual boot sponsors upped his boot deal when selected (to £100 ?) and then a rival company offered him same to switch, so he took both offers !!
Also, think in dressing room for England he asked how much England players get paid and Emlyn Hughes (the Captain) said, we shouldn’t get paid, it’s about playing for your Country, to which Stan allegedly replied “I’ll have yours as well then….!” |

I assume you’re referring to the bowling attack ?
If not, I would put Root up as a case in point. Then make a case for a few other batsmen…..! |

The Hundred should be sacked off and the money invested in T20 instead. Why ?
1) No one else in the World plays it. Laughably we can call ourselves World Champions like the NFL.
2) TV Audiences are dwindling, year on year.
3) It’s Never made a profit, 1st year it lost £20m ! Similar since.
4) They say it’s bring new, young fans into the game. So does T20 (even more it was invested in and marketed better)
5) It’s damaging to County Cricket and as a result Test Cricket and the 50 over game, which has become a 2nd XI Cup. England hardly played any ODI’s for a year after winning the World Cup !
6) Imagine being expected to support a London football team with players from Chelsea, Fulham, Brentford, QPR, Watford, Luton ?
7) Cricket doesn’t need a 4th version.
It’s only plus point is that’s improved the womens game, and that’s only because it’s played prior to the main mens game. |

I'd prefer that.
But it's ok and what happens on the pitch is more important to me. |

It’s 20% of the sale price, Not profit. Reported Many times before.
Which may be a stumbling block for Palace to sell below the £68m clause.
Apparently CN made a comment last night at the Fans Forum along the lines that we wouldn’t be spending the Eze money/windfall all at once and it would be spread out !
So not sure if he’s ITK about a deal being in place for his sale, or if he’s referring to any of the £4m in add ons above the initial £16m ? eg. Playing xxx games, playing/starting for England, winning a trophy, qualifying for Europe, etc. (Hopefully ALL of the above). |

If you just want work to bring money in until you find a job within your specialist area, most of the mains Supermarket are constantly looking for Online Delivery Drivers. Pay may not be great, but it’s over ninimal/working wage. Tide you over….? |

Brilliant Test cricket going deep into a 3rd consecutive 5th day. Take note those who want to move to 4 days to pander to shorter version.
Great sportsmanship and respect from the Winners today too. |

The only time I ever got to ‘play for QPR’ !
Club v Fans matchplay game at a club in Middlesex.
A player (Steve Palmer, I think) didn’t turn up, so I was chosen to switch to play for the ‘Club’ with the kitman. His name I forget. But Birch & his ‘scratch’ brother, Cook, Rowlands, Ramage all played and Steve Gallen was in the group in front of us, I recall.
Anyway, we halved our match, despite being ‘dormie 1 up’ on the 18th tee. Our 1/2 point was enough to secure a 7&1/2 to 5&1/2 victory, so I felt briefly popular.
Anyway, as claim to fames go….. Carlsberg ! |

So, MIA -
Frey, Madsen & Kelman - recovering, should get there before the 2nd game ?
Clarke-Salter - injured, might see him by Xmas.
Colback, Fox, Santos - stalling over contract or being released/sold (Santos)
Varane - could have a knock, could be sold ?
Kolli, Lloyd - looking like being loaned out.
And yet, Richards is still lingering ? |

Should have sold them at £300 profit ! If you had x2 that’s yer Season Ticket pretty much paid for ?
(Only joking, but having seen them at Knebworth & Earls Court, I’m happy I saw them at their peak) |

I thought it was £40M ish, but we did some movement of funds/shares to clear half of it (ish), then had to pay the rest over 10 years…..?
2018 surely not correct…. 7 years ago !? |

Wasn’t there talk of Vale playing LB just a few week ago ?
Personally, I rather him play further up (if fully fit !) |
