Ben Smith 🐝

A heartwarming story 🫶 Back in 2020, Molly Hall - who was having treatment for leukaemia - was taken onto the pitch as a mascot by our very own Ben Foster. Six years on, Molly has completed her treatment and is preparing to run the London Marathon for charity! ✨ Hear from her below 👇

@jimb0_12 Part of me thinks it’s nonsense to shoehorn players in though. Rew is clearly an England player but waiting until a spot that suits his game opens up seems far wiser than chucking him in to fail at the top

@cas_rasen @TheiPaperSport @StocksC_cricket With you RE sibley. It works in a hugely successful Surrey set up but even if he could translate an average I still think it would struggle for this iteration of England

@TheiPaperSport @StocksC_cricket Huge fan of Rew & Smith, but neither are specialist openers. Personally I'd go with Tom Haines - experienced opener. Love Has but he's in no form. Gay is super but not ready, & McKinney for me doesn't move his feet - a left handed Zak Crawley. Sibley pressurises his partner.

Here are seven batsmen who could replace Zak Crawley as England opener 🔄 ✍️ @StocksC_cricket #CountyChamp #EnglandCricket inews.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

@Willbak1 @michaeI11_ Mark Wood can be picked to bowl short sharp spells. Robinson could do the same and take more wickets…

@michaeI11_ Dont think anyone particularly cares hes a prick Can't pick him if you can't trust him to bowl 50 overs in 5 days If he's proved he can deal with those workloads then get him in!

Discourse around him is so tiring. No, he isn’t slow. No, he isn’t shit away from home. Yeah he might be a knob but who cares? If he can prove he’s sorted his fitness out he’s the first bowler on the team sheet.

@Cameronsmart_ Not being funny our best run came when he was at AFCON. It’s not a coincidence. He can offer goals but it doesn’t make up for the complete lack of anything else to his game

Kayembe spends his 150th appearance much like he did the other 149: being a total fucking waste of everyone’s time. And he gets rewarded with 90 minutes AGAIN while our 3 best performers are taken off. Another season wasted because we carry too many players like him 🤦‍♂️

@louorns To Mattie Pollock too🤣🤣

Wrexham crossed the ball 43 times tonight

@WatfordFC Why can’t we have anything nice

The visitors pull one back. 2-1 | 49'

@Joe_Nuttall9 I imagine it’s rachin 3 cox 4 and tribe shuffled down. Still a fun side

@ben_smith025 Oh yeah that’s defo an issue now, said that just after they bought Cox and forgot they had Rachin too. Way too many top order players in the squad now

Not really tuned into The Hundred auction but noticed Welsh Fire signed Root & Cox, meaning their top 3 of: Salt Root Cox Is probably going to be the best in the men’s competition this season. Insane

@Krishnanand_g @AzzurriLFC Plenty of room for both if Rehan continues his journey into a (red ball especially) batting all rounder

@AzzurriLFC No 7 in odis and t20s for now , test call up may be after the retirement of stokes . Serious competition is going to happen between him and Rehan Ahmed.

Coles is obviously playing for England very soon. Question is, which formats and which positions in place of whom. Excited

@ujjwalooo David Seaman and Yamal - 44 years 🤣

His career literally spans from Paolo Maldini to players who weren't even born when he started playing. I would love to know who's the earliest and the latest born players Cristiano Ronaldo has played against. Must be a gap of 40 years easily

@point_backward Why’s there a 12 on the scorecard?

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I saw the Finn Allen 33-ball century live.

@CZazzera Was the literal last kick his only shot?!?

@BaitVic @Cameronsmart_ I tend to agree but Vata is a serious player whose been really poorly managed and unfortunate this season

@Cameronsmart_ See it differently. As a fanbase we massively overrate players as we are desperate for them to be good. I like them all but other than Maamma can't see any of them going on to bigger and better things any time soon.

For all the talk of the embarrassment of riches in attacking midfield/wide players Maamma, Vata, Irankunda, Baah and Chakvetadze have scored just 9 goals between them this season. They can be exciting, sure. But they're not consistent performers #watfordfc

@theoldbatsman He’ll do it too - freak

Puts Brook within one gargantuan innings of an achievement only one player in history has achieved the 3-2-1 (Test match triple, ODI double, T20i 100). Chris Gayle the player to have all three...

@Adam_Drury1 Think that’s slightly harsh. They haven’t really created anything other than long shots from rubbish angles - shape been good defensively but big hole in the 10

0-1 at HT. Ipswich clearly deserve their lead, despite the goal stemming from a FK after what looked a fair challenge from Pollock. System hasn't really worked but Town look a class above. Watford need to be much sharper to get back into it. watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/25884078… #Watfordfc

@thewatfordway Watford is one of the best jobs. Risk free, 3 year pay for 3 months, I’d be licking my lips🤣

The Athletic has named #WatfordFC as one of the most difficult jobs in world football. 😬 The list also includes: Fenerbahçe Real Madrid Bayern Munich Brazil National Team Celtic Rangers England National Team Manchester United Tottenham Chelsea

@WD18Fans About time you let yourself go global fella. Go well x

A message from Jacob. 💛

@louorns Charlie Daniel’s is a better fit than most for the moment…

K9/Semedo you don’t want involved in build-up, you want them having one touch finishes. Doumbia you have more freedom to go direct, but even he’s better ball to feet. Criteria should be: develops younger players, history of output with wide fwds & can coach possession football

Obvs not true but our last two promotions have been with Xisco Munoz and Slavisa Jokanovic. Xisco came from Dinamo Tiblisi, Joka came from Hercules in LaLiga2 after winning one game. Basically you can come from bumfuck nowhere and be good as long as you align with the squad
