Don't quite a few clubs have associated teams? Oh well.

I thought the whole point of this franchise stuff was to be smaller and based on the Australian model of state cricket?

How can they ignore the first one and give that?

You've ignored the bit where they have to be able to challenge the status quo......

Great stuff from the Liverpool MP taking the Everton case to Parliament (on what basis, I've no idea). Said the sanction was disproportionate and unfair- was then asked what would be a correct punishment and replied "That's not for me to say". ****ing hell. Stay out of it, man.

The Indian crowd tends to be totally partisan but in a different way to others. English and Australian crowds are usually very biased and will get right behind their teams, having a go at the opposition in the process. The Indian crowd seems to cheer loudly or have total silence, although I do wonder today if it was a reaction to being challenged for the first time at this tournament. India is the biggest cricketing country by far and I'd imagine anything other than victory to be a real affront to them.

Need to beat the traffic

God, what a horrible sight.

I know we're going back to Leicester with this but the crowd need to raise the volume. It is too comfortable. We saw in the summer how easily rattled these Aussies get with a quarter of the crowd numbers.

Part of me wants to see genuinely biased former players become referees. The Twitter/ X army of big club bots who believe refs hate their club and love everyone else will probably melt when Danny Murphy gives a penalty against Arsenal "because we booed him 20 years and he never got over it!!!"

Absolute rout

Reckon Hermansen will be Denmark No 1 this time next year. Schmeichel near to 100 caps and will probably bow out after next summer.

Hope it doesn't get in the way of me seeing the players walk out.

I think they will stay up too, they are already 9 and 10 points better than Sheffield United and Burnley.

A parody show would genuinely have struggled to beat this Government's antics.

"Suella speaks for the majority of the people" says the MP for Tory-On-Sea.

Not a huge fan of Carragher but a relief not to have Neville's random noises.

We've not flattered to deceive all season, the six game run in the last international window was very convincing. The last four games haven't been although Sunderland, Leeds and Middlesbrough are three of the stronger teams. The set of matches up to Christmas look favourable. Time to get going with authority again.

We're talking about people who simultaneously wear poppies and have swastika tattoos.

What a surprise that Ingurlish and Proud mob cause all the trouble.

Three 1-0 defeats is not impressive. Need to sharpen up quickly.

Southampton are back involved now.

Nothing says respect for the dead more than going to a memorial site chanting "England til I die". We should have done it after the Last Post last Friday.

Quite disappointed we won't see Pakistan try to chase 200 in 4.3 overs.
