Shock horror - the Blast quarter-finals produce more drama, quality and value for money than the Hundred could all season. There was a superb product sitting there, ready-made to invest in and instead we have just made the schedule even more complicated.
Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace vs Unai Emery's Aston Villa:
5-0 to Palace.
1-2 to Palace.
2-2 Draw.
4-1 to Palace.
3-0 to Palace.
3-0 to Palace.
Blimey…😳
Dear flag shaggers.
You are being radicalised by a multi million pound marketing campaign led by privately educated sociopaths who are making vast sums of money from easily manipulating you into hatred.
Get a grip, seriously.
It’s embarrassing.
What I need explaining to me is why Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig can play in the same competition.
Manchester City and Girona can play in the same competition.
But Crystal Palace and Lyon cannot.
🚨🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Maresca: "This is NOT football. This is the 7th/8th time they suspend a game here, it's a complete JOKE. I understand the security reasons, but if you have to suspend 7 or 8 games, then this is probably NOT the right place to host this competition."
At a narrow bridge I noticed the car flashing me through had an reg ending in LBW. Rather than giving the standard hand raise of thanks, I gave an umpire single finger "out" signal. They replied with a 4 runs arm wave. One of the greatest human interactions of my life.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Granit Xhaka is set to sign for AC Milan on a 2-year contract.
He's chosen Milan instead of the Saudi Pro League.
