@NetflixUK I don’t think any of the amateurs would have beaten Luke Littler
But this has ruined the concept, it’s like Dubois taking on men down the pub and then Usyk knocks him out and wins the prize.
Luton’s 15 charges resulted in a total of 30pts deductions and a £50,000 fine back in 2008.
If the same sanction applies to Manchester City and their 114 charges. It would result in …
A deduction of 228 points and a £338,000 fine
It’s beyond me how some fans cannot see the value he brings
Words of a true winner and echoes the mindset that defined him throughout his career
Forever improving and unwilling to settle for anything but progress
What an awful summer of cricket.
The Ben Stokes ego show in a home defeat for the first part and then the worst touring side of all time for the second part.
Packed either side of a soulless franchise tournament that I didn’t watch a minute of.
Anyone with any knowledge of English football history will know that it is ridiculous for Southampton’s chief executive, Phil Parsons, to claim that their expulsion from the Championship play-offs is a bigger punishment than the 30-point deduction imposed on Luton Town in 2008 which led to relegation and almost throttled the life out of the club. Absolutely no comparison and completely weakens Southampton’s attempted argument that being thrown out of the play-offs is “manifestly disproportionate to every previous sanction in the history of the English game”.
There is some good stuff in Parsons’ statement: accepting culpability for Spygate, apologising to those clubs they spied on and apologising to their fans “whose extraordinary loyalty and support this season deserved better from the club”. Well said. But… the rules changed since Leeds United’s “similar offence” in 2019, there is no right to the £200m (it’s not a fine), and to play the whataboutery game and make the comparison with the Hatters is, fittingly, mad. Southampton’s reputation is certainly damaged but at least their very existence is not at risk. #SaintsFC #LTFC
Southampton can go again whilst being in a good position on and off the pitch next season.
Luton took years to rebuild on and off the pitch, nothing had been sanctioned before of that scale and doubt it will again.
Australia and Ireland have both been eliminated from the T20 World Cup as rain stopped play in the Group B game between Ireland and Zimbabwe in Kandy 🚨
Ahead of the Sydney Test, tributes were paid to victims of last month's attack at Bondi Beach.
First responders and community heroes were welcomed onto the pitch before the start of play.
Sydney Cricket Ground remembers. 💛
Players these days were once kids too, desperate to follow in the footsteps of their heroes.
And now it’s their turn. Their turn to create memories for the next generation.
Australia and England’s finest, living their dream. Living every kid’s dream.
This is the Ashes.
