  1. I don’t hate the idea of 100 ball cricket.  I actually quite like it. But the graphics on the BBC make me feel like I’m having a brain aneurysm.  

  2. I’m prepared to die on the hill that Don Giovanni records produces more bang for its buck than any other.

     

    Mourning (A) BLkstar’s new one Ancient/Futureis a mix of hip hop, punk, gospel and 2Tone.   It’s brilliant and never less than challenging.   RIYL Algiers, the Delphonics, Morcheeba and/or Lee Bains.

    If the Democrats were smart, they'd run a totally positive campaign and not even refer to Trump by name. If there's one thing he hates its not getting the limelight. 

    "The Biden/Harris campaign had to clean up the mess left by the last president - here's what we achieved"

    "We want to ensure that women have a right to choose - our opponents don't want that and some want to go even further with a National Abortion Ban and restrictions on birth control"

    Etc. Trump's head would surely slowly explode over a series of his own rallies and he doubles down on shark infested waters and battery powered boats.

    Thing is, approval rate means far less, motivationally wise, than disapproval rate.   It’s the disapproval of Trump that’ll win it for the Dems.  
     

    Nobody really “approves” of a policy, they merely don’t object to it.

    I'm into it, decided he'll be class for us. 

    I know some folk will be worried about A League signings after Danzaki, but worth remembering all the stats and reports said he was absolutely pish before we signed him. 

    Stamatelpoulos actually looks like a great fit for us based on the data folk are sharing. 

    This is a fantastic signing.  I have no idea if he’s any good,  but there are only two possible outcomes: 1. He’s excellent and you flog him to Bolton for silly money.  Or 2. He scores three goals in six months and goes back to Australia on loan at Christmas before getting the  “mutually agreed” treatment.

     

    Edit: see also those Mexican guys Dundee signed.

    It was always going to be a tough ask to make the CL this season. One that I’m not confident we will meet given the state of the squad, as you say.

    However, we’ve beaten better sides than either of these in recent times so I’m still hopeful we could progress. I think the Play Off round would be a bit too much for us regardless though.

    Are you suggesting that Partizan Belgrade and Dinamo Kyiv are much storied names in Europe but who are now shadows of their former selves after years of mismanagement - and now exist largely on reputation?

    If Trump loses this now, will he have a legitimate claim to fight the decision in courts for months due to Biden withdrawing this late?

     

    No.  
     

    The Democratic Party nomination system has, for this precise reason, never been legally binding.  Unlike the Republican caucuses, the Democratic primaries result in non-binding votes.  Admittedly, as was shown in 68, when people don’t hold to their allocated pledge, chaos ensues.  But in theory if nobody holds to their allocated vite, it should be plain sailing.  

     

    Now, given how political the legal system is in the US, I would be surprised if somebody didn’t try that card.  

    The tears and snotters will be hilarious, but Biden should have done this months ago.

    I’ve got a lot of sources some reliable and some hit or miss. 1 data analysis/recruitment agency. Another is a scout. One is an agent and one gets his info when he’s at hospitality for his team. The agent says players to gather interest in his. 
     

    It can’t be Gomes sorry as he’s got a new team.It must be another Gomes and I’ll ask my friend when I see him to confirm who it was. I Googled Gomes Spanish 2nd division but it can’t be him.

    The Watford Loan will definitely happen.

    I hope it’s Carlos Mendes Gomes of Morecambe and or Bolton. 
     

    The Watford striker seems…. Superfluous.

    Buttigieg would wipe the floor with Trump in the debates.

    Unfortunately, there’s very little chance America will elect a gay president. 

    He’d absolutely skoosh a vp debate with JD Vance.  You or I would skoosh a debate with Vance, to be fair, but Little Pete would make an excellent running mate for Harris. 

  9. If I didn’t  know better, I’d say the West Indies were playing for a draw here.  Couldn’t be easier for England this morning.  Holder seems like a very conservative captain.
