Why are Rovers so poor in the league? The answer lies in how the opposition sets up. They sit back and rely on set pieces and the break. We saw Gillingham and County do it to full effect.

In the cup opposition sides can't do that because they have to try to win the tie. That opens up the game.

In fairness Cricket is up with Rugby in popularity in Oz.

In England it's a very poor third way behind Football and Rugby.

In fact nobody plays cricket in England anymore.

Nobody except Millfield

England only need to do three things better to beat Australia -

BAT
BOWL
FIELD

A LOT better by the way

It's a really interesting time in US politics right now. It's no longer about right or left it's about resonance.

A significant percentage of Mamdani's votes came from MAGA Trump voters.

It shows a real shift away from the old way and the UK would do well to take note.

In a hundred years time the corruption at US govt level will make Watergate look like a jaywalking ticket.

It's always worth remembering that world leaders currently involved in corruption will by then be food for worms.

The GAS ❌
Bath Rugby ✅
McLaren ❌
Rams ❌

It's the hope that kills. Onwards and upwards it is then

Remember when the FIA stole that last title from Hamilton in order for Verstappen to win his first?

It won't happen, but a late safety car to rob the title from Verstappen and benefit Norris next Sunday would be beautiful karma

The BBC are nothing if not predictable, despatching journalists to the four corners of the nation to find people who are unhappy with elements of the budget.

Gascast - you do realise that if you back the owners into a corner they will end up sacking Clarke, right?

Unless of course you believe there's somebody better available.

Gascast have called for the owners to say something meaningful. This after they already said they don't want to make updates when there's nothing to tell.

I guess they could always say "yeah we're shite". Does that qualify as meaningful enough for you?

RIP to the brilliant Jimmy Cliff. His song Many Rivers To Cross as performed on Jools Holland made me a fan and I was pleased to see him live in Bristol.

He did the splits on stage that night and he'd have been around 70 years old at the time!

Why is Trump so scared of Russia? What do they have on him?

Wait a minute...you mean to tell me thousands of the most beautiful women on earth didn't all randomly decide to join Twitter in 2023?????
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

We've lost seven straight...

That's ONE FIFTH of the season in one stretch...

Survival is now the ONLY target for the season

McLaren have just handed Verstappen a fifth title 😮

I'll do what I always do when the Gas are causing my depression -

Concentrate on Rams.

Stafford is living his best life. What's not to love?

Is today's game a must win or a must not lose?

I'm going for the latter today. It's a long season.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

I have questions-

Who the heck are Midtyland?

Why are they top of the Champions League?

Are they owned by very very rich people?

So next Saturday's game is now a six-pointer with a place out of the bottom two the prize
