@MattHughesMedia Will still happily play them in ICC tournaments though. Will only ‘boycott’ playing them when it suits 🙄

@burge1987 @GeorgeDobell1 He ‘retired’ from county cricket after 2 years looking bored and disinterested whenever he turned up for Warwickshire. Then his signing announcement is entirely about the steps and progress Yorkshire have made. Purely a PR signing.
English
@chrisifinch @GeorgeDobell1 You’d sign Moeen Ali if he was black, white or pink with yellow spots on, because he’s one of the best cricketers this country has ever produced

@fesshole Which bit of this is the fess? Presumably studying film at FE and HE 🧐

@Alds_Shane @TVSportsUpdates They’ve never done it when there’s still games to play that day in the play-offs. Same as when TNT had early windows.
English
The first-ever playoffs edition of 'Inside the NBA' on ABC ran approximately 30 minutes. There *was* a window on ESPN following the half-hour block on ABC, which is what I assume “any additional postgame coverage” was referring to in this release, but it wasn’t used.

@GreggC_CC @AdamCrafton_ @OllieHolt22 Nope. You take that sportswashing money, you deal with the consequences.
English
@AdamCrafton_ @OllieHolt22 I kinda feel for these guys honestly.
Having to go out there and talk everything up while there's clearly evidence contrary to what they're saying. They deserve better.

@robbopalmer Always thought actual, real goals were more important than expected ones 🤷♂️
English
I’m not sure normal fans ever take notice of xg.
It’s for losing managers and pundits who want to look clever.
It is a pointless metric.
And Neuer was Man of the Match because he was outstanding in the first leg compared to poor in the second leg.
Guillem Balague@GuillemBalague
@gld74 @j_hoey @robbopalmer So why was Neuer MVP in the first leg? Did Real Madrid played to their strengths in the second leg? (So much so that they had a better Xg than Bayern! I understand possession confuses people

@GeorgeDobell1 To then get out not long after lunch, having batted a decent amount of time for an unsubstantial score. Like so much if his time with England!

Dom Sibley... 21 not out at lunch having batted throughout the 1st session. #SibBall

Just on the train to the Carabao Cup Final ⚽️Hopefully it’s going to be a cracker 🤞🏼Train is full of Brentford fans going home and Leeds fans who live down south. I feel their pain. Telling me that Saturday night 8pm kickoffs is a nightmare for them 🙈

. @bet365 has decided to have me as a weekly columnist, a chance I was waiting for to put in long format some of the fascinating discussions all of us have been having in social media. You will help me shape my thoughts and eventually the columns. Let's keep arguing 😉💪
Here is my first column. On the triple Premier League-LaLiga Champions League meeting. I think 2-1 to Spain but let me frame the fixtures in the bigger picture of the situation of both leagues

@Alan_Reay @UK_FightNight @FightDisciples Integrity? He was on the payroll as the mouthpiece for Dirty DK ffs 😂
English
@UK_FightNight @FightDisciples Adam was someone I really respected, I thought he had integrity. His behaviour during the second Benn/Eubank fight was out of character but this now means he’s definitely sold out.

Why has Adam Catterall turned off responses to his posts ? 🤔

@mcandidate @Danny_McMoomins The LinkedIn comments are very, very different though.

you can diss the worst politician, footballer, or musician and somecunt on here will come out to bat for them. I have never, ever, seen a single tweet in support of Jake Humphrey.

@FootballCliches Bodo v Sporting can’t be anything other than 2026, surely? And I reckon Galatasary v Liverpool is more 2002 UEFA Cup.
English
Years these ties should actually be taking place:
PSG v Chelsea: 2020
Galatasaray v Liverpool: 2007
Real v Man City: 2024
Atalanta v Bayern: 1992, UEFA Cup
Newcastle v Barcelona: 2003
Atletico v Spurs: 1963, Cup Winners' Cup
Bodo/Glimt v Sporting: 1958
Leverkusen v Arsenal: 2002

@sluciaxi @GeorgeDobell1 They were well aware, everyone knows the policy in the IPL, SA20, ILT20 etc. that’s probably why they were quite keen on not selling all the teams to IPL franchises, hoped the other teams would pick up Pakistanis and that nobody would notice.
English
@GeorgeDobell1 This is what happens when you sell out. ECB should have been aware of this possibility and acted BEFORE allowing the franchises to be sold. The Hundred was already much maligned but now it’s become another problem for english cricket.
English
'Maybe some think they are beyond the law or regulation? And maybe, in some places, they would be. They might do well to consider how that attitude is working out for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor or Peter Mandelson. The law needs to be taken seriously.' Thoughts on The Hundred:

The Hundred owners ignore ECB 'shadow ban' letter at their peril | @GeorgeDobell1 thecricketer.com/Topics/the-hun…
English
@bigbonedtrev @OborneTweets They’ll be fine as they’re not Pakistani. Rashid and Moeen have played IPL with no issues.
English
@OborneTweets How does it leave British born players with Pakistani heritage? Not picking them because of their links to Pakistan would be clear discrimination.
English
This is deeply shocking and completely unacceptable. The Hundred is organised by the England & Wales Cricket Board. If the story is confirmed true the ECB has very serious questions to answer.

@paulsen_smw Thought he was so much better filling in with the TNT crew than he ever was on ESPN.

Jalen Rose, who ESPN laid off three years ago, will be back on ESPN Friday night as part of the TNT-produced NBA studio coverage (filling in for Shaq).

@FootballCliches He’d be such a fit at Palace, I thought he’d already played for them.
