Rafa nearly there!! Brought it back from 5-2 in the 4th to take it to a tie break. Now leads 5-1 in that tie break...

Brilliant game once again. Djokovic about to take the 4th. Feel like Rafa is tiring though

John McEnroe is pissing me off. Stop going on about Nadal's serve time! He won't change a habit of a lifetime in the middle of a match ffs.

Enjoyable game as ever between Nadal and Djokovic. Nadal looked very comfortable for a set and a half, Djokovic coming back into it a bit.

They've been scouting their own player?

If you take the guns away, what do the 'fucking demented people' kill kids in schools with?

Luton may be getting one of our youngsters in, Callum Wright. If it becomes a good move like it was for Dewsbury-Hall, then I'm for it. Had a very good season at Cheltenham this year.

Just seen the result. What a game!

Bloody hell that was scary watching in slow motion, let alone at full speed!

Another ton for Buttler!

When you look at what's left, it becomes clear how much investment is needed. But not just big-name players to sell some shirts, but players that actually add value in terms of what they can give to the team. One thing that is noticeable of what's left is the lack of leaders - Ronaldo & De Gea are pretty much the only two. Arguably Fernandes but not for me. Most successful teams of late have the spine of the team as integral figures of the side - Man City have Ederson, Dias, De Bruyne, Gundogan, etc. Liverpool have Alisson, Van Dijk, Henderson, Salah/Mane. Real a few years ago had Ramos, Casemiro, Modric, Benzema. I'd say that you probably need more of those leaders to get you where you want to be. The talent can be built around that and what is already there.

Have you turned in to a tree @CaaC (John)?

Nah we've won enough proper trophies recently to not worry about small time things like this

What kind of award is that

I know...

What a player you ruined

Let's hope for the latter.

Nah I understand the point made to be fair, I just think at what point will Maddison ever get a chance again - based on how this season and his form panned out, there's probably never been a better opportunity to be selected. If Southgate is always going to shun him, I'd genuinely he rather just be honest about it and say he's never going to be picked . It doesn't make sense to leave any player hanging after a misdemeanour or two and to then have that hanging over someone's head for 2-3 years. So no matter what Maddison could have done this season, it now appears like Southgate wouldn't have picked him anyway.

1 issue. That casino one. Which was blown way out of proportion. It was agreed with England he could return home. So he did. Once he's home, he's pretty much free to do what he wants within reason . For some reason Southgate seems to keep that in his memory. You have Grealish guilty of drink driving and wrecking his car. Kyle Walker having COVID parties. Foden cheating on his missus while on England duty. Maguire and those shenanigans in Greece (?). It's double-standards, to be honest. You say similar issues but going to a casino is hardly crime of the century and pales into sheer insignificance compared to the above. I don't get how discipline comes into serious play with Maddison if that is the real reason, but not for the others.

Brilliant entertainment. Patidar looks a hot talent.

Stunning restoration
