Gary Rowett in at Oxford . Good appointment I think.

Speaking of openers being dropped - the Aussies are dumping McSweeney after just 3 tests and calling up a 19 year old . Certainly be a baptism of fire up against Bumrah and co. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/czx5n6lz1eyo.amp

Another rookie into F1 next year . Isack Hadjar will be the second driver for VCARB in 2025

Sacked from his last job after 12 games so they will be hoping he does a bit better !

Noah was probably even more of a gap !

Forster has been around a while and probably never been told to play like that for most of his career and it showed.

Hearts need a late goal or they will our on the play offs .

Celtic got away with one then? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx26p30p6ddo Now it probably was a close call and the on field ref gave a free kick but maybe VAR should have asked him to have a look. Obviously a Celtic fan ? Isn’t that how it works. Rangers think they are all pro Celtic and vice versa .

Or someone who might speak out against them.. Mind you as I say Lawson has had a few brushes and clashes so far.

Out of contract in the summer anyway so might look elsewhere.

Everton will be hoping these owners work out . https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2024/december/19/club-statement/

Southampton could have got a late penalty at the end. Mind you probably didn’t want to upset Slot after his little rant yesterday.

Some consolation for the defeat .

Quite fitting that Jesus has got a couple of goals given the time of year ! Apparently was offside for the second ( no VAR )

Southampton probably wish it hadn’t started !

1-0 Newcastle. Did the scorer put a bet on ..

Sparks could fly if Lawson’s recent attitude carries on at Red Bull.

Good luck to Rocky . Be a lot of expectations and pressure on young shoulders . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/c70e7v0drzpo

Probably not his wage demands though. And Arteta probably will want a lot more effort from him.

Is going to be one of those years with lots of surprises. Noticed Luke Littler came second in SPOTY - probably win it then next year if he wins this.

Hm.. Slot starts saying this after Liverpool had a player sent off at the weekend. Convenient timing? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/dec/17/arne-slot-premier-league-referees-liverpool-carabao-cup-southampton

These teams won't stop till there is some sort of Super league that suits them. Ans I think in Spain and Italy there is support for it too.

Never know with the FA. We had a player banned earlier in the season for something that happened a week before but the guy at Preston who bit someone didn’t get a suspension for weeks it seemed .

Just when Chelsea thought everything was settled down . https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/12/17/chelsea-mykhailo-mudryk-fails-drugs-test-ban/ This will be the only way to get rid of him on that long term contract .

We do like getting a good battering at times . A few need to re gain consistent form and confidence. But the positive is winning the series and some good performances.
