    Hi Matt, I asked a question "is this possible" so don't be so rude. Logically you can't play 2 x 10's (same position, there has to be a difference in roll) same as you can't play 2 left backs. It should have been explained better, just my view. Enjoy FIFA yourself.

    She asked if we could go out to sunbathe on Sunday despite Raab saying just 2 minutes earlier there would be no relaxation of current rules, announcement Sunday night etc Laughable question as it's due to be freezing cold on Sunday.

    10 years for carrying a weapon, no early release, then you wouldn't be in as much danger and nor would the public. It's very simple.

    Wayne Hutchinson is a bloody good jockey. He's got the Alan King job, which is a great one, but can't work out why he doesn't get some really good spares from other top yards on busier days.

    That's an ill educated tweet about horse racing with a typical cliche about millionaires. The huge majority of people in racing, which is a big industry, certainly aren't very wealthy. As for the gambling bit - more research needed.

    Have to smile when any bloodstock agent gets in the winning connection huddle on TV. Never see them when they have bought a 100k yak.

    Journo's outraged by Cummings breaking lock down then break social distancing rules themselves and risk infection. Absolutely bloody amazing.

    Good read. I've no problem him quitting. He may have saved his eyesight & saved his career. All this "carry me out the ring dead" is compete bollocks. It's a sport, a job and hopefully there is a long life after a boxing career ends.

    As for the criticism of the new slogan, we'll it's just another chance to moan & find an excuse. If you don't know by now what is safe/unsafe then you've had your head up your arse for the last two months & will carry on doing what you like when you like.
