It's funny that you mention young voters getting 'bribed'. Of all the young voters I have spoken to they are much more likely to vote based on what they think is right rather than what puts the most money in their own pockets.

But why does franchise cricket equal extra money? Seems to me the only reason is it's a huge rebranding where they can pretend this is something completely new to before because the team names and jerseys are different. There is nothing intrinsic in teams being selected through a centralised...

I've heard this for a long time but I still don't understand what the benefit of franchises actually gives over the county system we currently have.

Language evolves. 200 years ago there was no word for computer as there was no need to use that word. When a new thing is invented we don't throw it out because we don't have a word for it, we adapt our language. Clearly in the past people didn't see the need to have gender-neutral pronouns but...

Personally I think fans take comments like this a bit personally. People on here are more than happy to slate a player when they don't play well but when a player doesn't feel like they've been given a fair shake by the club, the player for some reason is meant to be all contrite and just...

I think that's very simplistic. A lot of the time Gross gets the space he needs to cross because he has Montoya overlapping outside him. The reason he can create so much joy from the half-space is that their full back can't come inside to close him down as he needs to mark Montoya when he...

I think those all were seamless? Would prefer a VAR-less world but it seemed to work very smoothly in that game.

We have a player who is currently in the Argentina squad, playing CM for Boca Juniors and you are calling his signing nonsense? Tau looked like the best player on the same pitch as Salah a few weeks ago. Sure the recruitment team have made some mistakes but it looks like a certainty that we will...

Also as annoyed when everyone puts their arms up to appeal for everything under the sun even when they know it's not? There are a ton of ways players try to con the ref which don't get chastised in the same way as diving. As bad as diving for me and I don't get why people care about diving more.

It comes down to whether you think a foul is 'breaking the rules' or just a part of the game. I think for these kind of fouls it's just part of the game. An extreme example, but Burn is caught offside then it's a foul but he's not cheating. For me all fouls are part of the game and however...

Just because race isn't mentioned doesn't mean it's not a factor. Trump questioning Obama's birthplace doesn't directly reference Obama's race but only an idiot can't see that Trump wouldn't have questioned Obama's place of birth if he was white. Obviously there aren't stories such as "We don't...

Seems to be pretty clear (and a good thing in my opinion) that fouls above the waist especially at set pieces are not going to be over-ruled by VAR. As we all know this kind of stuff happens at every set piece and am glad that they are not going into a forensic analysis of every incident. If...

I'm saying that all Bloom cares about and all I care about is the results aspect. I am not saying they are mutually exclusive but I am saying they are independent: Potter isn't a better manager BECAUSE he plays football that is more interesting to watch. If the better results comes about...

The customer comment was more to those who would rather see entertainment over results: may as well just go to the cinema imo. You're point is that we will get better results by playing this way and I agree in this case. I do take issue with Hughton's tactics were 'found out'. Just because...

As ever this comes down to two questions: 'are the results going to be better under Potter than Hughton?' and 'would you rather worse results to see more interesting football?' The answer to the first question looks to be yes but I think the latter question is influencing people's memory. If...
