@edwyatt Completely mad. Both centre halves are in your top 5 penalty takers? C’mon Tony. Pls.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

Tony Popovic with a piece of classic “look at me” management bringing on Ryan. As opposed to leaving on one of the stand-out keepers in the tournament so far. Yeah, good one Tony. Very clever.

@TC111 @HKRacingUS @TopRacingTipsRP And then you console yourself with your £7,000,000.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

@TC111 @HKRacingUS @TopRacingTipsRP I doubt they’re scared; the prize money in the King Charles is £750,000. The prize money in The Everest is £10million.

Now cancelled. @VLine you are not fit for purpose.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

So @vline - “chasing up” according to the platform announcement, where the 17.26 Epsom service carriages are!? Chasing up? Weeks of no service and now this. Truly. No more pathetic a train service in the Western world.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

- Thursday. Train in only 5 mins late in.
Train home. 3 carriages, go slow to Watergardens, stopped in Sunbury due to points issues, currently delayed 25 mins.

It is no exaggeration to say the Vline is the worst train service in any major city in the world. Truly outrageous.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

My week on the Vline so far:
- Monday, train in 15 mins later. No reason given. Train home 10 mins late leaving. Go slow to Watergardens. 25 mins late in.
- Wednesday, bus replacing train in morning 10 mins late.
Train home. 5 mins late leaving, 3 carriages, 40 mins late in…

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

One of the more abject performances from United in a while. There’s only really one word to describe it: weak. In every facet of the game.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

@vline_bendigo Ahh okay. Annoucement said all services.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

@vline_bendigo why only 3 car trains on all services this morning?

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

It remains the case that the Melbourne train network is the most pathetic public service in the Western world - no other public service is more habitually defective, broken, late and slow. It is an utter embarrassment to the state and the city.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

@vline_bendigo would you mind letting us know what’s the go with the 5.49 from Southern Cross - pulled out of the station and have been stood still for 15 mins with zero comms?

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

@JensonHarris121 Mate, pls. His last 3 start in Europe were on the flat in group races. We all know Euro stayers are much better generally. But it’s just silly to think Aus can’t throw up a decent stayer.

Aus racing is in rude health in comparison (see prize money, crowds, relevance).

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

@JensonHarris121 It’s a massive field and throws up some weird ones. Vauban, Al Riffa, legit northern hemisphere stayers. Begs the question: if it’s so easy to win - send some of your superstars and collect the cheque.

[Oliver Jones @theOliJones]

I think we’re at a point where we need to consider whether Ohtani is the best ever, in any sport.
