Top class from you mate @RandoEFC cheers for running it and looking forward to next seasons editions already

Yep, thanks to @Batardfor that one final push!

Bottom one paid out yesterday thanks to Arsenal's goal Forgot that I had Arsenal to score 70 league goals as a separate bet as well at 5/1. Top one I need Chelsea to score 2 more against us next Sunday and that pays out too.

Rabada injured and missing the rest of the IPL. Could be a doubt for the start of the World Cup, too...

Fylde beat Harrogate and just beaten Solihull so they're through to the final.

Imagine being bullied for cleaning up the community to/from school and the school not even showing an iota of care about it or her welfare before it was too late. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-48065405 Knives. In school. FFS.

Sorry I merged that topic with this one without seeing the poll. Semi-finals between India, West Indies, England and South Africa.

Is it me or is she missing half her body?

Liverpool fans can probably confirm but this is a fairly big loss as he was just coming in to form and settled in the side?

Neville did the same and ended up getting the England Women's manager job

Funny how Declan Rice's 'Up The RA' post was brushed off though as well - dare I say the FA only wanted to 'remind him of his responsibilities' because he was about to play for England? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/mar/21/declan-rice-apologises-ira-social-media-england Player is 16 years old. Old comments brushed up from the past. Rice sincerely apologises for any offence. FA 'will write to player and remind him of his responsibilities. Choudhury was 15/16. Old comments brushed up from the past. Choudhury apologises for any offence caused. FA charge him. This is the double standards I was alluding to. Hence the 'unfair' feeling, too.

Very much agree with this, for sure. Especially in this day and age where this isn't the first instance I'm quite surprised that Clubs don't instruct their players to get rid of anything that could be construed as offensive or controversy just to remove all doubt altogether. Or have some advisor if they're totally not sure. It would remove any potential bad publicity for player and club in the future. Not even just for Premier League clubs either.

Gray was 21 and a professional football player already, so it's not that like for like. He'd already be under a professional contract so would know not to say what he did. Choudhury was a kid still at school as 15/16 year old and no doubt less mature. Why does the Hennessey thing have no bearing on this? Bit odd to completely dismiss it to be honest.

All fair points. The double standards is odd though - Hennessey gets let off by pleading ignorance about Nazis etc and I believe Declan Rice tweeted one support for the IRA yet didn't get punished. Why was an example or punishments not handed out to them? Interesting to see what punishment will be given after this charge. For me a warning suffices given the passage of time. A ban would be over the top in my opinion. And whatever that punishment is, will the FA give the same out to whoever's tweets or Facebook posts are dug up from the past in the next years to come?

How many other players gonna get done for social media posts when they were 15 or 16 then? Not saying what he said was acceptable or right in any way, but do the FA ever show any common sense?

With Rodgers in charge the pendulum has swung in to the 'really good footballing' Leicester side but the Puel-shaped cracks are still lingering. Despite that, still think City will get the points. Sorry lads/ladies.

Thank you to @Bluewolf for his donation too. Very much appreciated!

Great stuff mate; thanks for your contributions all-round so far

How long ago did you last have them? I didn't even know they had new recipes Only ever drink orange Lucozade for a hangover so definitely don't notice.

Worse than Kallstrom who had a known back injury yet you still signed him

Pleasure! Never been but have considered it before. Looks like a beautiful place albeit quite expensive (the bridges look amazing though). The room they stayed in looked tiny but cost nearly £200/night (!!). Not sure time of year or location but seemed quite pricey. There's one bit where it looked like they ate some very unhealthy food (fried eggs, bread, meat topped with cheese) and it made me seriously want it

@Cannabis do you watch Richard Ayoade's Travel Man? His latest one with Nish Kumar sees them go to Porto. Made me think of you (and mainly Mrs C).

@Azeem How you reckon your tour of England will go? 1 T20 and 5 ODIs before the World Cup...
