England Euro 2016 Qualifiers
No one's expecting us to play like Barcelona, even against San Marino. The difficulty is that in every game in qualifying (with the possible exception of Switzerland away, where we played really well) we've been expected to have the lion's share of possession and play a completely different way to the way we'll play in the finals. The Nations Cup can't come soon enough.

Yeah, I found three under my bed just this morning.

Summer Transfer Thread 2015
So? The 2012-13 squad was the weakest of any title winner that I can remember. The Moyes fiasco demonstrated how much of an overhaul it needed. Van Gaal has made some bizarre decisions recently but the blame should surely lie with Woodward. Incompetence isn't the word.

Rojo being listed is bizarre.

This Bin Laden fiasco shows exactly why I don't think Corbyn should be leader. I agree that ideally the guy should have been arrested and stood trial. But the way he worded his response is either naive or deliberately provocative. Neither is good.

United look very neat and tidy in the middle third of the pitch but they have no pace or incision up front and may yet lose De Gea at the other end. No wonder they want Mané.

Can we sell 50,000 away tickets to every game at the Olympic Stadium next season? We might win the league that way.

World Athletics Championships 2015
No medal for either 4x100 team. Women could have been a bit slicker but still ran a national record to finish 5th. Men were an easy third with 100 to go but then completely stuffed up the last changeover. USA got disqualified for a dodgy change so it could have been a silver if we'd got it right.

She's 19 years old. It was an amazing performance, and next year she'll have Jodie Williams pushing her on to run even faster. In the same way, Zharnel Hughes and Adam Gemili could have some great battles in the coming years.

They've now got him, Delle Ali, Kane, Eriksen, Chadli, Lamela and Townsend. That looks like enough to me - they need a top class midfielder though. Or to start actually using Tom Carroll.

5th for Asher-Smith. New British record but she couldn't quite dip below 22 seconds. Campbell-Brown got the bronze after that bizarre lane infringement in Round 1. We got a medal that isn't a gold! Shara Proctor got another national record and became the first British woman to jump beyond 7m, but was denied at the last for the gold.

What happens to trans people is an issue which would have to be sorted out if this became policy, obviously. Men are more likely to be victims of violence because men are far, far more likely to be the perpetrators. That's not that difficult to work out. Like I said, I'm apprehensive about the idea but it's not my argument to have.

I know quite a lot of women who are in favour of it. Personally I'm unsure it's the right solution but it's not like women wouldn't be allowed anywhere else on the train.

Kenya are still top of the medals table. Shouldn't really be a surprise that they can produce athletes who can win in the 800m and now the 400m hurdles given how dominant they are over the longer distances. They and Jamaica are really squeezing the US out of it.

Not at all. Not voted yet but he's still getting my 3rd as it stands.

I have wondered whether I'm part of the 20%. Then I think about the prospect of Corbyn-Watson and reconsider.

Yeah, she was slightly lucky to get through although no one was running especially quickly. I can't see her getting a medal, we might have to wait for Perri Shakes-Drayton to make her comeback for that.

Rabah Yousif ran a massive PB in the 400m semis to go through as a fastest loser. Probably won't get a medal as the competition is probably the fiercest of any event on the timetable. Amazing stuff. Martyn Rooney went out, had clearly knackered himself in the heats.

Quantitative easing is a slippery slope (and adding "People's" to the front has really rubbed me up the wrong way) but it's not entirely without merit. Taxes on the rich can be mighty effective if you're clever about it - changing the Council Tax bands would be a start. Renationalisation has to be done in stages and devolved properly. Basically, my main issue with Corbynomics is that it's all a bit broad strokes and the ideas haven't yet progressed beyond what you'd get from a five-minute focus group at an anti-cuts rally.

I'd find it ironic if it turned out a backbencher who hates bankers ruined the economy.

O'Brien isn't good enough for this level any more. Going for the same back four as against Arsenal makes sense.

Didn't like KJT's attitude in the 800m at all. I ran faster than that when I was 11. I get that she's still got the long jump to come but it's hardly like running properly would tire her out for that.

Part of the reason they were so bad was that we weren't playing wingers (or two up front) so they had to provide all the width. I've never been so glad to see Jarvis come on. I wonder if Tomkins will come in for Jenks against Liverpool.
