Burnhams defence of city owners because “they’ve done a lot for the city “ is akin to defending Pablo Escobar because he built homes and schools #bbcsport

A huge thanks to all listeners and viewers that have joined for the coverage of Nottinghamshire's 2026 cricket season. Thanks to @bbcrns for allowing me to cover the matches on their behalf. It remains a great privilege to do so.

Great news. But they still have a week to decided if they will try their luck with their weak arguments at the Court of Appeal.
Oxford United can confirm, following an oral renewal hearing earlier today, that a High Court Judge has refused permission for a judicial review relating to the planning permission for the Club’s proposed new stadium.
Having heard submissions from Counsel for each of Friends of Stratfield Brake (the Claimant), Cherwell District Council, Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford United, the Judge concluded that the grounds of challenge were unarguable.

Yes I know we move on from
Will Lankshear but good on him making under 21 squad and being talked about like this. #oufc
Come in No 9, where are you? The Harry Kane succession is not of pressing concern for England quite yet, given his focus and fitness at 33, and still has one more tournament in him. But FA coaches at St George’s Park are busy scouring their Talent ID to find centre-forwards or find ways to develop them. “We need No 9s,” says Lee Carsley, head coach of England Under-21s.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is with Kane in the seniors but he’s hardly the long-term future at 29. Danny Welbeck, 35, and 30-year-olds Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney are not in the senior squad. Will Lankshear is with Carsley’s Under-21s for the first time after his prolific start at Middlesbrough.
He’s scored 8 goals in 11 appearances since his £10m move from Tottenham Hotspur. “His goalscoring record at present is very impressive,” says Carsley of Lankshear. “He's playing with a lot of confidence. Moving to a club for a bit of money puts a different kind of pressure on him.” Lankshear has clearly responded positively to the pressure.
FA coaches are also tracking the form of 23-year-old Liam Delap at Nottingham Forest. “He’s done really well the other day,” Carsley says of Delap’s goal for Nottingham Forest against Aston Villa. “He did really well with us.” Delap helped the Under-21s qualify for the 2025 Euros. “It would have been brilliant to see Liam at the Euros in the summer (of 2025) but he went to the Club World Cup, didn't he? So he missed out.”
Delap had moved to Chelsea and elected to join his new club-mates in the US rather than continue with Carsley’s team into the 2025 Euros they went on to win. Delap struggled at Chelsea, managing only three goals in 47 appearances. Forest suits him better; less pressure and more starts. “It’s great to see him doing well now,” Carsley says.
“There's definitely a challenge for all of the coaches, from academy coaches right the way through to pathway coaches (and at clubs) that we need No 9s, we need different kinds of number 9s as well,” says Carsley. “Hopefully from the talent ID we’ve got and the recruitment (development) we can keep finding them.” #ENG

Michael Holding took a caught-and-bowled to dismiss Ian Botham, but pulled his hamstring in the process. Botham then helped carry M. Holding off the field as he walked back to the pavilion himself.
A brilliant reminder of why we love this game.
Are these the first two tweets from GF this season, in the space of a few hours. Coincidence? Is he making a point?🤔#oufc
