Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

When defending a free kick, are Norway going to start yelling "Shield Wall" ? Because they are descendents of Norsemen, well, some of them.

What's it like inside your head?

Japan deserved extra time But that would have meant more Matterface & Dixon

This green woodpecker is an entertaining visitor. Bombs around the estate at low level, squawking it's head off. #peckerchat

Just catching up with Burnham's No10 North plan. This twat will be just as bad as Starmer.

JAPAN!

WTF are you on about Dixon? There's no kit clash, you muppet

Ian Ward serving up soft balls to McCullum in that interview, was very poor.

Brook & Bethell giggling away during the presentations. You just lost, badly. Spoilt brats.

Well done New Zealand, proper team, that knuckle down & play for each other. Were without 3 of their best bowlers, still won, comfortably. England... fucking done with this lot of jolly boys. Good riddance Stokes. McCullum & Keys have to go too.

You don't see me, right?

Seen some self absorbed shit in sport before, but this is something else. Disrespectful to NZ Disrespectful to Emilio Gay Disrespectful to the game.

ITS ALL ABOUT ME!

Timing of Stokes announcement is very "let's make everything about me" It's also typical of this England set up to allow it to happen now, instead of after the match. It's not a team, it's a collection of egos.

My favourite Ben Stokes moment was when he tweeted congratulations to Boris Johnson for an inspiring speech

Root doing that is naff

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Some big news reaching us at half time... I won £11 on the Lottery. £11 is a weird amount.

Not far away, not far away, at all ! So, wide then.

Rogers is playing?

Didn't Dan Burn play in Tuchel's first 9 games in charge ? Now a benchwarmer

Not seen any team wearing a Reebok kit in yonks

Archer is "a decent batter" according to a couple of Sky commentators. No, he isn't. No, he's never been.

Why are we standing by and watching this happen? “Israel continues to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, an ⁠independent UN inquiry has found…. about 30% of the people killed by Israeli forces have been children.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Bloody hell, Hampshire, another put us through the wringer game. Needed 30 from 31, cruising, then lose 4 wickets, goes down to penultimate ball, but Woody hits a six. Against Yorkshire too, which is nice

When Norway bring on a Derby County player, you know they aren't taking this game seriously

Strand-Larsson is not a footballer.

If I was Norway, I simply wouldn't let Dembele check onto his left foot. 3 times lads, THREE times

Jofra is a bit of a dick

Ok Broad, take your tongue out of Stokes' orifice

HE CAUGHT ONE

I see England still can't catch. Not McCullum, Stokes or Keys fault. I blame James Vince.

Parasites.

Whatever the result in this test, the fault certainly doesn't lie at the feet of Stokes & McCullum. They are always, blameless. Liam Dawson, he's the one at fault.

Don't understand why England haven't won yet, Ben Stokes is back!!!

Bashir on after 10 overs??

Old MacDonald on his farm

The redeveloped Trent Bridge pavilion looks ugly. Like a Tesco Extra.

Can't get by the underlying arrogance (not confidence) of Ben Stokes.

Eh?

I don't understand, the Scottish fans sung their anthem really loud, why are the team so shit?
