West Ham United can confirm that an independent Regulatory Commission has cleared Lucas Paquetá of misconduct charges made against him by the Football Association for alleged breaches of FA rule E5.
“Sorry kids, it’s only for one year, otherwise we’re struggling to make rent. But then we’re going to give up gambling (advertising) for good, I promise. And remember, the only time to get involved with gambling (advertising) is as a short term solution to a cashflow problem.”
Hi Essex CCC members,
I am standing for election to the Essex CCC board. Here's why I believe I would serve the club well. If you agree, vote for Richard Clarke.
Since his international comeback in May 2024, Jofra Archer has taken 95 wickets in all formats at 25.54.

"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"

Brazen and shameful
England women's 23/3 in yesterday's semi-final was their lowest total at the fall of the 3rd wicket in a T20 World Cup match.
They went on to make more runs from this stage than they had in any previous innings at the event.
Our highest fourth wicket partnerships in IT20s all have one common denominator 👀
