Burnley high on emotion 07:59am on 20 Aug 2009 I think it's going to be a tough season for Man Utd.
I know it's dangerous to write them off, but I think they will struggle to finish 4th. They've just played two games against lowly opposition, scored one goal and looked less than impressive.
Getting away with it 10:23am on 13 Jul 2009 Tom, re: 49.
It still doesn't sit right with me that the hosting of this match was down to money.
Questions: will they be so quick to bid again? Will they bid for anything other than Australia, knowing that it's likely to be a comparative let down? How will they feel about hosting, say, Bangladesh in May, or a weakened West Indies? Selling-out a Test Match against Australia isn't really an achievement.
Getting away with it 09:09am on 13 Jul 2009 So England escape with a draw AND manage to get up the collective Aussie noses. Couldn't be much better really! England have been on the receiving end of a few "9 wickets down" situations of late, including in 2005, so I think this is a fair result.
Tell us your favourite Ashes moments 6:41pm on 07 May 2009 1981. Enuff said.
Pietersen's gamble too far 2:09pm on 07 Jan 2009 I'd like to know what really caused this.
I suspect it's KP's ego in large part.
I can just imagine him thinking, whenever Moores made a comment/decision,whatever, "what the ---- do you know about it? you never played international cricket". He would have more respect for someone with a great playing record or even proven international coaching experience.

Options are limited. Long term I think he'll be back as captain when the dust has settled in a year or two.
Great book - shame about the screenplay? 6:11pm on 04 Sep 2008 One obvious one I forgot is "Lawrence Of Arabia", based on T.E. Lawrence's long, rambling and largely unreadable "Seven Pillars Of Wisdom".
Great book - shame about the screenplay? 6:08pm on 04 Sep 2008 Movies that were at least as good as the books:-
The Day Of The Jackal
Lonesome Dove (mini-series, astonishing perfomances by Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duval)
M*A*S*H
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

I havent's seen No Country For Old Men yet, but I have high hopes for it.
