Without informing us or the EFL, Bolton decided to cancel our game with them tomorrow at one day's notice citing the fact their young players have played too much football recently. Whilst I understand their plight, how is that fair? If they hadn't been thrashed by Tranmere at the weekend I don't think they'd be doing this. Apparently they asked for that to be postponed and were refused, so this time they just haven't bothered asking. Which is a massive breach of regulations.

A total mess, and it is fans out of pocket once again. The EFL need to be firmer with both Bolton and Bury now I feel, the longer all of this drags on, the more it makes the league an unfair playing field and leads to short-notice issues that affect thousands of people.

Hopefully it'll end up being a 3-0 walk over win for you and a three point deduction for them since they are refusing to fulfil a fixture. That's what Middlesbrough got when they did it in the 90s didn't they?

Campbell's gone from Macclesfield

John O'Shea to cover the front five positions, Luiz to cover the back five

Archer did so well to tighten those last 3 balls up after that 6. Stokes was immense and of course New Zealand will look back at that obscene moment of luck in the last over.

Birmingham sack Garry Monk

Fuck's sake.

In "our board are fucking idiots" news, there is a lot of talk about Garry Monk getting the boot. Apparently the board don't like his playing style, you know, like they didn't like Rowetts style and a change of manager worked out so fucking well that time didn't it?

Much better performance today from England. Roy gets 153, Stokes and Archer take three wickets each, England win by 100+ runs.

Bale has be on his way out, more than likely along with Rodriguez (even if he doesn't want to go to Bayern, I don't see him getting back into the first team) and a few others.

Of course I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if UEFA just ignored any FFP violation while at the same time hounding City over theirs.

South Africa making hard work of Bangladesh here. Upset on the cards?

World Cup time!

A good win for England yesterday, plus an absolute world class catch from Stokes

Today, Pakistan 105 all out against the Windies.

Glenn Fucking Murray!!!!! Brighton lead!

Liverpool 1-0 up, Mane.

The final has been outstanding so far 6-5 Trump and we've already had six centuries 

Dott is on the verge of an amazing comeback. 8-1 down after the first session, just made it 9-9. Bingham didn't help himself by forfeiting a frame after three fouls and misses.

Where's the "Place illegal bet" option? Or is that under the Bookmarks tab as a cunning ploy to evade detection?

It's Amazon Prime rather than Netflix but this is still very important news:

Farscape is now on Prime!! Including Peacekeeper Wars!

EDIT: Not sure where I pulled the Perez/Stroll thing from, seeing as Stroll had only had Massa and that Russian lad for team mates

The cold open is unprecedented. 

 

But that could mean Sol Campbell's Macclesfield could survive. We are in the darkest timeline

So apparently, when your wife asks you "do you love me more than Football Manager?", asking her "which edition?" is not the correct response.

Next time just say you prefer the younger editions that were easier to get into. Then say "and as for Football Manager... "

Can't see that backfiring 

Wasn't it Wimbledon back in the day who would flat out turn off the hot water supply to the away dressing room?

200k for not breaking any rules? I mean it's better then the 15 point deduction they decided to pull out of their arse last time. If we had nothing to play for there's no way we'd accept it but we've got bigger fish to fry and this has gone on way too long already. 

You mean the one imposed because Ken Bates decided to try and blatantly abuse the system and put the club into administration about five minutes before the season ended and barring a ridiculous goal swing in the last game you were already relegated in order to try and avoid starting the following season on minus 10? 

That extra five points was fully warranted.

I agree. Episode 4 was the weakest episode so far, but it set up episode 5. And that episode was great - especially when...

Williams are now expected to skip tomorrow as well and are not looking likely to run a full day on Wednesday. They might get a day and a halfs testing done at best overall.

Also, according to the BBC, there is internal concerns that the car might be up to two seconds a lap slower than last years because of the changes to aerodynamics the new regulations have caused, while all the other teams have managed to get back pretty much all lost pace and are running the same pace as last year.

Williams are fucked this year guys. 😟 Poor Kubica  

Season 2 of Discovery has been so fucking good so far.
