Thread | Orient players test positive
at 16:25 22 Sep 2020

Read elsewhere that the positive tests occurred after Spurs insisted the Orient players were tested and paid for the tests.
Orient played Mansfield at the weekend so presumably their players and staff will have to self isolate and have tests PDQ.
Would anyone have known if Spurs hadn't funded those tests?

Chapeau James Anderson...the first seam bowler to take 600 wickets in test matches and only the 4th man ever to do so. A brilliant servant to England cricket.
Pity the wicket fell whilst I was putting diesel in the car! |

New ball in use next season, according to OWS. Apparently it provides “Unrivalled power, pin-point accuracy and instant control”. That will certainly improve League 2 football...if true. |

1. We know four first XI regulars are not being offered new contracts. Of these four, Comley, Jackson, Nouble and Prosser, which one represents the biggest loss to the side?
2. If Covid 19 wasn't an issue which of the above players, if any, would or should have been offered new contracts?
3. In view of how Covid 19 has affected club finances this season and will likely continue to do so next season, at the very least, should the club retain the services of a Director of Football?
4. In view of the likely financial situation throughout football, which players under contract for next season would justify a transfer fee?
5. What prospect is there of the club making any new signings, whether or not transfer fees are involved?
6. Regardless of whether you consider this season to have been a success, do you think there will be improvement next season?
7. In view of the likely financial constraints next season, what could/should the club do to maximise the potential for improvement? |

Thread | Well done Marcus Rashford

The government forced into a U-turn on free school meal funding over the summer holidays, thanks mainly to a campaign by Marcus Rashford. He had been articulate, calm and steadfast in challenging the government decision.
A lot of politicians, on all sides, could learn something from Mr Rashford, I think.

Mike Ashley shows yet again that he is a deeply unpleasant person...not to mention taking early payment for season tickets at Newcastle.
Any other examples of the scum rising to the top during the current crisis? |

Apologies for another cricket thread but I know there are a few of us interested!

Since I first heard about this new competition I really did wonder why cricket needed to provide something for those who can't concentrate on one thing for roughly three hours. Having now read the details, link above, it sounds very much like a load of old bo11ocks to me.
I support Essex and England so have no affiliation to a north London franchise or, indeed, any other. I doubt very much I shall be watching but would be interested to hear what others may think.
