Anyone seen Souleymane Couliblay's 44 yard cracker for Kilmarnock yesterday ?

That's some hit.
Scored an impressive one a couple of weeks ago against Dundee, too:

Clearly got talent, so this could be his opportunity to get his career back on track. I hope he takes it.

Congratulations to Middlesex on winning the County Championship for the first time since 1993. It's been a long time coming but what a way to do it! I think that today's game with Yorkshire saw the season's 2 best teams fighting it out for the title (Somerset were definitely third best) and a tremendous end to the season. Bloody marvelous from Toby Roland-Jones, bowling a hat-trick to win the game and record figures of 6-54 and 10-127 in the match. Is a triple of Wasps, Spurs and Middlesex all being title winners possible?

pleased to say I was there to see my team lift the trophy.

Now if only I can say that in April or May....
 
I don't see why it has to be an English manager. Maybe say that an English manager gets preference, but if there aren't any suitable ones, you have to go for the best candidate whatever nationality. It seems counter productive and blinkered to go for an English manager regardless of how good they are! But then, the FA do want to preserve their integrity...

Because hiring a non-English manager guarantees years of bleating about how it's a disgrace that England aren't managed by an Englishman.

As a counterpoint, it's worth remembering that David Cameron once listened to people with just as small-minded an outlook and gave them what they wanted, and look what happened when he did that...

Cameron, he could do the job and he's free. We could have a referendum on whether to play 3 or 4 at the back. Better still, Donald Trump is likely to become available soon. He could build a wall across the goal to stop the Mexicans, Argies and Brazilians scoring.

On second thoughts, how about John Terry, his dad could sell all of the opposition players coke so the all fail drugs tests and we win by default whilst his mum could steal their wallets.
