Can someone please remind me why golfers who join LIV get constant media scrutiny yet nobody bats an eyelid when boxers fight in Saudi?

[Matthew Armstrong @Reaps19]

@SmartGolfBets thanks for your efforts during 2023 Mike. Your output is very useful and greatly appreciated 💪👍

This photo is already English football history. Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, 29 years old, making his Premier League debut with Luton.

He is the first footballer in history who, with the same team, rose from the fifth to the English first division. There were a total of 4 promotions in 9 years. Amassing more than 300 appearances.

When he arrived at Luton they trained in a public park. Now, he will play at Old Trafford, Anfield, Etihad, Emirates and so on. The footballer who completed football.

@SecTVCL Have you got a start date for the league next season Matt?

[Matthew Armstrong @Reaps19]

@RVICricketStats That must be some sort of record, no team batted more than 36.2 overs in 1st innings of a test match?

[Matthew Armstrong @Reaps19]

@AWSStats That must be some sort of record, no team batted more than 36.2 overs in 1st innings of a test match? Waiting for stats to emerge.

@JoshAntmann Interesting, deathly silence from the DP World Tour about the banning of these LIV players. Will they break this strategic alliance with the PGA tour and welcome these PGA rebels onto their tour? I assumed DP World Tour would quickly fall in line with PGA stance🤔⛳️

At the other end of the spectrum of experience, that afternoon 39-season veteran Matt "The Reaper" Armstrong took what is surprisingly only the second hat-trick of his unparalleled career with The Stag, finishing off Braywood Sundays, with two poled and an LBW.

Congratulations!

@MarkHullettSalt Aus would have loved another 25overs Badger😂🤦🏼‍♂️🏏👎When you don’t enforce the follow on you are afraid of batting last. As it panned out here Pakistan got 443,with more overs Aus may have got them out and needed to chase 50 in 10 overs.Unlikely to lose from there

[Matthew Armstrong @Reaps19]

@MarkHullettSalt Hope Pakistan go on to win, ridiculous decision not to enforce the follow on😂🤦🏼‍♂️🏏👎
% of follow-ons enforced since 1 Jan 2012
16.66% (3/18) Australia
Biggest 1st innings lead without enforcing follow-on:445 Aus (Ponting)vEng Brisbane 2006 408 Aus (Cummins) v Pak

@MaidenheadAds Price of petrol ⛽️ is understandably going up but what some garages in Maidenhead are charging is a joke. Couple of Esso garages going 169 for unleaded. I filled up @ Morrisons in Reading this morning @ 154.9-there really are some thieves on the forecourt ⛽️👎
