The three fellas who operate this account have also occasionally used it to engage in conversations about their other interests, football, politics etc. which was fine when we had 15 followers but now it’s ticked over 200 we’ve agreed to stick to Sport from now on
When I read to my kids I voice the evil or stupid characters in an Australian accent so they will subconsciously know which team to support in international cricket.
I think what people frequently forget about Andy Murray when it comes to the Big 3/4 debate is that he himself knows and has many times acknowledged the fact that the Big 3 are in a stratosphere of their own.
@samraper19@RokerReport Also 4-6 places lower is 13th at worst, reckon any Sunderland fan would’ve taken 13th in your second season back without Europa league football on top 🤷🏻♂️
I note that politicians and journalists have been falling over themselves in praise of Lord Jeffrey Archer who has died aged 86. I don’t share that view.
Back in 1987 Archer sued the Daily Star for libel after they reported he had paid for sex with a prostitute.
Thanks to his lies in the witness box he was awarded £500K in damages, a record at the time. Actually the paper was right he had had paid £6K for her services.
The editor, a talented Aussie called Lloyd Turner who had done a great job for the paper, was fired by the idiot owner who preferred to believe a politician than his own staff.
That verdict left Turner, according to his wife, a broken man, and he died five years later at 57.
So, he never had the pleasure, some six years later, of seeing Archer, being jailed for perjuring himself and forced to hand back the £500K.
Archer’s lies destroyed Turner’s career and hurried the end of his life.
Disgracefully, that story has been ignored by the good and great in the hagiographies.
