Re: Kvyat, Sainz and Palmer to swap seats from Austin onward
Have Red Bull officially abandoned their young driver programme? I wonder what is to become of the Toro Rosso team if that is the case? This season they had Gasly, Ticktum, Kari, Verhagen and Verschoor on their books. Gasly drops out because he has a Toro Rosso drive, Kari has been dropped official...

Liverpool game yesterday was a joy to watch. I hope they can pick up a CB prior to the window closing, as Levren is a liability, but offensively, what a performance. Of course, Arsenal was as bad as they could have possibly been. Tough to be an Arsenal fan right now! You have no idea. We pushed Bel...

Watford's equaliser for 3-3 can't have been offside.
