How can you not be a romantic about sports?

Hurts to see Kel’el, Jaime, and Kas go. I think highly of them and will continue to root for them.

Same for Herro. The fanbase might not all agree… but you deserve your flowers

Can somebody tell me why this literal kick on Bruno in the Man City box, wasn’t checked on VAR or even talked about by pundits?

I’ve seen endless replays of Dalots high challenge but the media is silent on this?

Ruben Amorim deserves a send off post, for definite.

People will fixate on his poor win record while Manchester United boss, but will fail to acknowledge what he inherited, plus the changes he’s made behind the scenes.

These changes will make life far easier for his successor, far easier than what was left for him when Ten Hag departed.

Beginning to distinguish the dressing room rot was huge. The Garnacho’s for instance, who had no idea what it meant to be/act as a United player. Team leaks that were there beforehand vanished in a flash.

Amorim’s philosophy focused on intensity, which led to that profile being targeted for many signings under his tenure. Beforehand, this team had no physicality, none at all. That has improved.

Results haven’t been great this season, but the team is together. Even during Ruben’s difficult moments, not once did you feel that he had lost the dressing room.

Work rate is better, pressing and counter pressing is much better. Set pieces are better. The culture definitely was beginning to improve during his time here.

We wish you the best, Ruben. ❤️

We will never forget that night in Manchester 🇵🇹❤️

Thank you for all you did for this club Amorim

[Mal @UtdMaI]

I honestly never wanted Amorim to leave. I loved him as a coach so much. Where do we go from here? I cannot recognize my club anymore.

If we sign another manager, I don’t want to hear the ‘future project’ nonsense, get me Xavi and win the league in a season or two then leave if he wants.

There’s a particular cruelty in cricket’s numbers when you’re a pace bowler. The sport will worship a quick who can touch 150kph even if his average hovers around 30, but a bowler who runs in with the intensity of a man trying to push a broken-down car uphill? He needs to prove himself in triplicate just to get his kit bag in the dressing room...

Michael Neser has 423 first class wickets at 23 odd average. He also has 4000+ runs at average around 30. Those are allrounder numbers. Yet until last month, Neser’s entire Test career could be summarized in a coffee break: 2 matches, in last 4 years, each appearance feeling like Australia had remembered they had a spare key hidden under the doormat...

Stat sheet doesn’t tell you about the 2010 Shield debut, when a 20 year old Neser dismissed Adam Voges and Shaun Marsh; two batters who’d go on to play Test cricket, whose Test careers would begin after that game & end before Neser got his baggy green. It doesn’t tell you about the countless times he’d be the best bowler in Shield, only to watch the selectors fax in another squad with his name in the “emergency only” column...

“I feared my Test career was over,” Neser admitted last summer, and you could hear the exhaustion in that sentence. Not the dramatic exhaustion of a torn ACL or a stress fracture, but the quiet, grinding fatigue of a man who’d torn his hamstring playing Australia A against India A at the MCG; 12 months on the shelf for a glorified practice match. The kind of injury that happens to players who are always available, always dependable, always one phone call away from being told “we need you to carry drinks and maybe bowl 12 overs in nets if it rains.”

Neser, at 35, became the human equivalent of that reliable sedan in your garage; works perfectly, gets you everywhere, but everyone’s dreaming about the sports car they can’t afford.

And then, the twist. Gabba 2025.
Last minute selection over Nathan Lyon, a decision that had Shane Warne’s ghost reaching for the whiskey. A 35 year old on his home ground, picked ahead of the greatest off-spinner of the modern era. The controversy was delicious. The vindication? Even better.

Neser’s Test progression reads like a man who’s tired of being the backup plan.
1st Test: 2 wickets. 2nd Test: 5. 3rd Test: 6. 4th Test: 4 in the first innings at MCG, each wicket a middle finger to the idea that you need 90mph to succeed in Australia. He has never gone wicketless in an innings. Not once!
In this series where England built their entire philosophy around speed; Wood, Archer, Carse, Atkinson. Neser & Scott Boland have tilted this Ashes by proving that 5 good balls an over beats one thunderbolt followed by four half-volleys...

Depth of Australian fast bowling didn’t just keep Neser out of the side; it forged him into something harder, sharper, more complete. While others were being rested & rotated, he was bowling in Cardiff, batting in Glamorgan, learning to be the player you’d build a team around even if nobody ever did...
You won’t find many pace bowlers with those numbers, in any country, in any era, still waiting for their moment. But then, you won’t find many cricketers like Michael Neser...

He doesn’t need speed. He has got something better: perseverance. And finally, the opportunity.
