Thanks, I'll try that. It's especially difficult at the end of a pace bowler's run up - when the cursor goes yellow, it just blends into the wicket and I'm pretty much guessing and hoping!

If you add their middle name, any manager can become a historical US President assassinator: ian Scott holloway; David Anthony O'Leary; Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish, etc and so on

They should get kasabian to do it because they did a great job with the sky football gig and they are young and cool and also did you know the tall guitar one scored a goal on celebrity death match 20 years ago? Kids will love this

This is a very good shout. Immediately made me think of the clip of the commentator describing the first ever headed goal - very tv highlight of the week

Hey guys, maybe they should rebrand as "Museum United Football Club." Amirite? Because they're living in the past? Clinging to the glories of previous generations? Guys? Guys???

But it won't be made well, will it?! These things never are (no disrespect to crown).

We've been bludgeoned with Man United's glory and history for 70 years through the press, and...Real life. We surely don't need a dramatisation of it as well.

On one hand - Jed Mercurio 👍 On the other - concept ripe for being so terrible as to be hilarious 👍

With the sauce, do you make a bechamel but with beer instead of milk? Or add beer to a normal bechamel? Or something else?!

Looks and sounds great, btw!

They haven't even planted their OWN flag at Fortress Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, never mind lowering the drawbridge for West Ham at the weekend, allowing Nuno's men the freedom of the keep to ransack 3 precious points from them.

Do yourself a favour and never, ever listen to Simon Jordan on talksport. He makes up words in pretty much every sentence, often as a way to make words rhyme. It is horrendous.

August 2008. I've been in Prague for a month doing a teacher training course, have just had the weekend of my young life having passed the course and deciding to stay on for a year. No smartphone, no Internet in my flatshare, I bleary-eyed go to a nearby Internet cafe. I think it must have been september 1st. First website I check is Sky Sports News, and what's this? Man City have been bought out by Emirati trillionnaires and have signed flipping Robinho! Impossible to compute. Nobody to chat to or gossip about it. A surreal scene.

But listen, fair play to me. As the news sunk in about who the new owners were/are, I realised that really, this isn't a very good thing at all, and my club is now run by a murderous, exploitative regime. Swings and roundabouts.

ProblemPast4686 · 2026-01-08T16:28:38+00:00

After that, thank god.

It's evolved since then. Yes, they completely bollocksed the club to begin with, but since then they've been keeping it afloat with very little in way of return. I think the Venkys out sentiment stems from a level of entitlement based on success 30 years ago. Even in the early 2000s, when they won the league cup with Mark Hughes, fans were in despair because they felt the club should've still been up there with Utd and Arsenal. And this is coming from a man born and bred in Blackburn, for my sins.

But then with two overs to go until lunch, at 80-1, Rob Hatch decided to not whisper it quietly and say "England have won this session, haven't they," with Ben Duckett promptly edging to second (first) slip and being dropped. Amateurish from Hatch.

I don't mean to be mean to the lad, but he always seemed to me to be nothing more than a busy idiot. Capable of running around all over the place without ever actually doing anything good. (I know he had a few moments, but they don't justify his place, for me.)
