    I think he means Twickenham. Don't know what he's got against it, it's a fantastic stadium, much better than Wembley.

    Oh I got that, I was attempting to be funny, I will refrain in the future. I have never been to Twickenham as I have no interest in rugby, but I might go to an NFL game there. How big is it?

    For Lapras, Spurs have already signed a deal with the NFL I think for a certain amount of games to be played at their new stadium. Helped fund the building of the stadium I think. I take it you are going to the Browns Vikings game?

    I think it holds just over 80,000. The views are perfect from everywhere too.

    BBC:
    England all-rounder Ben Stokes was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm after a nightclub incident in Bristol early on Monday.

    He will not be available for England's fourth one-day international against West Indies on Wednesday, the England and Wales Cricket Board has announced.

    Team-mate Alex Hales, who was with Stokes, will also miss the match and has returned to Bristol to help police.

    Stokes was held overnight after the team's victory in the third ODI.

    The 26-year-old Test vice-captain was arrested after an incident at about 02:35 BST at the city's Mbargo club which left another man needing hospital treatment for facial injuries.

    England are due to name their squad on Wednesday for the Ashes tour of Australia.

    "Selectors have been instructed to select the Ashes squad based on form and fitness as they normally would do," said England director of cricket Andrew Strauss.

    The team went 2-0 up in the best-of-five ODI series with a 124-run victory on Sunday.

    Statement from Avon and Somerset Police
    "We were called to a disorder in Queens Road, Clifton, at around 2.35am on Monday [25 September].

    "A 27-year-old man was found to have suffered facial injuries and was taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary for treatment.

    "A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and has since been released under investigation.

    "We'd appeal for anyone who was in the Clifton Triangle area in the early hours of Monday who saw any part of this incident, to call Investigations on 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5217218578."

    Statement from England and Wales Cricket Board
    "Ben Stokes and Alex Hales will not be available for tomorrow's one-day international match against West Indies at The Oval.

    "Stokes was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning, 25 September, following an incident in Bristol.

    "He was held overnight and released under investigation - without charge - late on Monday and will not join the team in London.

    "Hales, who was with Stokes on Sunday night, did not train this morning and has returned voluntarily to Bristol today to help police with their enquiries.

    "You will understand that we cannot offer further detail at this stage but will provide any updates when we can."

    More to follow.

    My boy Charles LeClerc got his first taste of a F1 car by driving for Sauber in first practice in Malaysia this morning.

    He was 0.3 seconds quicker than Pascal Wehrlein in the sister car, who has been driving it for the past two seasons (and with a big reputation).

    That never happens.

    Grosjean just had his tyre ripped off by a drain flap sticking up on a corner. Some scary stuff right there.
    He appears to be okay, but questions will be asked about how that's happened.

    Lady luck shining on Lewis for the 2nd consecutive GP - Vettel starts at the back of the grid for the Malaysian GP. :)

    Who won't be playing in the 3rd round because you need to be signed a week before a cup game :)
