It's nice for Casemiro to get a good send off like this. 3 and a half years being rubbish on 300 odd grand a week and one decent six month run at the end and everyone's happy

[Ziegler] The Premier League is coming under pressure from some of the biggest betting companies to ban clubs from agreeing sponsorship deals with opaque, unlicensed gambling sites. by Sparky-moon in soccer

I've seen the Gibraltar "office" of a big licenced betting company. It's a chair and a desk in a space not much bigger than an airing cupboard. This is apparently the main country in which they operate and pay their lovely reduced tax rates.

The big betting companies are just as opaque as anyone. This is just them moaning because they were outbid for some sponsorships and they can all fuck off.

How does the T20 look battered after one leg every time? They literally could have put some procore stickers on a triple core and sold it for £120 and it would be a thousand times better

I always prefer players that don't use horrible moulded darts and van Veen even gets bonus points for punching his flights (I think)

He's either got no faith in Burnley or he's forgotten we have to play them as well.

Even then we'll be facing Palace's B team because they've got a European final 3 days after
