They were criticising Spurs for not signing any players during the summer and they are doing very well. I still believe we will sign an Australian as our overseas player, for the first half of the season. Possible Smith, who will need the practise before the Ashes series starts So long as it's not Warner! |

I note others are questioning the merits of Sir Alastair Cook starting a new career within the cricketing media. Some interesting comments in the below post/talking about section. +++++ Alastair Cook isn't getting into the commentary game with the intention of giving honest opinions about England cricketers - he wants us to be in no doubt about that. Jimmy Anderson has been singled out for soft treatment as Cook admits to having too much respect for him and being too friendly with him. It looks as though Stuart Broad is going to get an easy ride as well. Realistically, the courtesy is likely to be extended to all of Cook's ex-teammates, or it'll be a bit pointed. It won't necessarily be all bad news for candour fans, though. The implication is that players such as Ben Foakes and Rory Burns can expect to feel the rough edge of Cook's tongue if he feels it's warranted. And he's clearly relishing the prospect of fresh meat to have a pop at as time goes on. With a bit of luck, Cook should feel able to comment freely on the entire England team as early as 2030 or thereabouts. |

Possible Smith, who will need the practise before the Ashes series starts But Spurs are a major player in the top tier, we are more like my football team, Sheffield Wednesday, stuck in the second tier, and dragging their heels, when investment is needed. |

The enigma Will Beer takes time off from his winter job decorating houses and talks to BBC Sussex Sport about his 12th year playing for Sussex after signing a one year deal. Will says he feels part of the Hove furniture. Seems rather apt. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06y5t8p |

I have no time for ticket touts, but isn't this website just trying to put willing buyers in touch with willing sellers? Be honest - if someone offered you £12,000 for a ticket, wouldn't you take it? |

Fb, Judging from these reviews Viagogo sounds like a scam website. They've gained 41% bad reviews and 6% poor, making the negatives a majority of the votes which is unusual, to say the least, for a successfully run Company. I would touch them with a cattle prod. uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.viagogo.co.uk |

Perhaps, he should remind some of his fellow professionals on occasions. Well said.

Capitalism has its fair share of bad apples, as does any political system, but I wouldn't use this as an excuse to denigrate capitalism as a system. |
