Cats, politics and COYS All opinions probably mine, unless they're clearly stupid and wrong, in which case they're definitely mine.

It's our Diana moment - so the People's Left-sided Forward deserves a memorial fountain

They're still holding back from when Harry left for Munich

Three IPL franchise owners already have stakes in Hundred sides so very much so

You can't sell county-based T20 teams as franchises for Β£100M each - can't help but feel that this possibility might have had a bearing on the hundred's development..

It looks like he's sat his arse (uncomfortably) on about 2 grand's worth of Marcel Breuer

Been reading references to a "rebuild" for as long as I can remember. A rebuild would require 2, or more likely 3, cast iron first team arrivals each window to improve the side and plug gaps following contractual exits etc.
There's never been a rebuild.

If the Romans hadn't abandoned Britain in the 4th/5th century AD, 43 AD might matter more; similarly, if the Angles/Saxons/Jutes or Danes etc had arrived in one invasion force, we might have another date to stick a pin in. Otherwise, 1066 seems about right. (I'd add 1882 for personal reasons)

Couldn't they just satisfy El Presidente by offering to write a massive "TRUMP" on the moon with lasers instead?

One like = one wrong opinion about Tottenham (just kidding - I'll continue to volunteer those regardless)

I go back a little bit further, but not quite as far as Arthur Rowe who, per WikiP "resigned in April 1955 due to a stress-induced illness from managing the club". Plus ca change innit

This is a shame. I'd be massively in favour of Spurs signing players who sound like Star Trek captains

Even now, perhaps out on the frozen steppe, a national youth team's centre-back suffering from an injury no one's heard of could be putting pen to paper...

It's the Dambusters and Guy Gibson's (googleable) dog's name was used as one of the codewords for the raid. Unfortunate choice.
