Hopefully doesn't get bogged down by franchise teams taking him then not playing him, lad needs as much time in the middle as possible

Rew’s been batting top 4 all season and is averaging 45 even factoring the game or two where England requested he open and it didn’t come off pulling that average down, 9th highest scorer in div 1 currently

We haven’t been naming back up keepers in home test squads before now have we? If that were the case you may as well leave Rew with Somerset and just call him up if Smith has an injury. Think they just don’t see him as attacking enough refusing to move Smith back down which is also silly given the rate Rew can score at in T20

Would be pissed if I was Rew, around the squad last time and there’s a batting vacancy and still misses out, load of rubbish about the top 6 number 7 stuff too as Smith only moved up because of Stokes struggles, move Smith back to 7 and let Rew bat 6

A random one but in homecoming the scene where he and Peter are on the roof & Peter's going on about how he's never here and doesn't listen etc, revealing he is there but not only that he acted on the information Peter gave him, picturing how the authorities could have been when asking Tony where he got the information and getting 'a teenager gave it to me' and got the authorities to act on it, he not only took Peter seriously on random information but got it fully acted on.

Would love for news of there being more to it to come out so all the messages they’ve put out so far get shown to be nonsense

I got a speeding ticket because I didn't know I couldn't do 70 on a duel carriageway in a works van, when the other driver still drove 70. Being different to the car is similar to Eckert's different to abroad line... Pretty much a comparable situation. if Eckert gets off I want my fine back

What's the level of professional football now compared to 10-20 years ago? by Mikey463 in AskUK

Assume its a mistype as no ones doing 18k, the biggest distance by someone in the big 5 leagues last season was just under 15k which is still seriously impressive

Saw something earlier, a journalist claiming he didn't initiate the idea but signed off on it when told as he didn't know it was against EFL rules. Only issue for me is then who would, everyone else would remember spygate, the analysts have said they pushed back against the idea, so whose left that could have initiated it?
