Which punishment has Tonda been given so far?

You're ignoring the point. A very large number of things are defined as being either legal or illegal either side of a specific numerical value. If Tonda couldn't figure that out and do his spying four days before the playoff match, that's on him.

Apparently I can drive down my road at 30mph but if I do it at 35mph I get a speeding fine. What lunacy.

Welsh Fire Men just sounds like a calendar you'd buy your mother in law fo Christmas.

We were never, ever, ever going to get the same punishment as Leeds and Bielsa, people really need to drop this line of arguing. It was made abundantly clear after that incident(s) that this would not be tolerate again in the future and that the punishment for doing so would be worse. Rules and their punishments change all the time, you can’t just keep going about precedent.

Nah, that definitely sounds like a Hampshire team.

Like what? We're talking about a West Ham player, not Lamine Yamal. He's not good enough to sign for a title-competing team like City or Arsenal. The best I could see him doing would be about another seven years at a club like Spurs or Everton and maybe having an outside chance of winning a domestic cup.

Why, it's his career? If he's being offered a disgusting pile of tax free cash to kick a football around for a few years, fair play to him.

I've no idea what that means. They're not married, Bazunu will make his own career decisions with no reference to McCarthy at all.

Apparently the deal hit a snag when Nuno phoned him up and said, "don't leave me this way!"

Thankfully these two batters don’t amount to a Hill of Beans.

Petrie getting a baptism here. 0-38 from just four overs, Yorks scoring at a rate which would win most T20 matches.

I'm not sure what wages Archer was signed on, and I'd presume there was a relegation clause written into his contract, but even so I would think he is being paid too much to be a third choice, sit on the bench option. I don't think we'll put up too much of a fight if he wants to leave.

You’d think the Spanish would be used to that, with all the Essex girls in Marbella.

I doubt Bazunu would be willing to drop to League 1, or that Leicester could afford his wages. McC is probably on a relatively low wage and will probably be back up.

Horrible news. RIP King Kev.

Don’t worry, the Argies can just hold up a banner saying they won’t the WC, even though they clearly didn’t.

You just know the f**kers are going to win it with a jammy goal from their tw*ttiest player in the 94th minute, which will be their first shot on target.

You think he couldn't be arsed with PL promotion but he's fired up and ready to go for a friendly with Eastleigh? Archer is a confidence player who needs to play the right role in the right system and it clearly didn't happen for him last year. I think to write him off as lazy is, well, lazy.

Oh boy, this outfit is going to be ‘popular’ on D-wing.

Why the f**k would a #9 bowler try and pull that off!?

They’ve got a conga line heading back to the pavilion now, great comeback.

Three pretty poor fielding decisions but he’s been one of the better bowlers. The best I can say about Wood is that he won’t be around to give away 30 runs off the last over, like he did against Surrey.

Our January sales were necessary as we hadn’t managed to sell as many as we needed in summer. Their wages were high and we needed some cash coming in. The signings we’ve made this summer will be on the assumption that there are some fairly meaty sales coming, we haven’t broken even yet.

Well we’ve done that with a flake and extra sprinkles. Good start this.
