Can we still sell players abroad if their windows are not closed? I suspect they

I continue to fly because I have to for work and because I've learned to manage my fears - if not eliminate them.

I would argue that - by its very nature - there is no such thing as a sub-conscious decision.

B, do you ever get nervous going out to bat?

What a question! Although I think I can see why you'd ask it. Good one.

Not at all. He had **** games. He had quiet games. He was never quite at his best for a few games when coming back from an injury or suspension.

He missed that ****ing penalty against United. He didnt use his left foot as much as he could have done.

Still.... he was a genius. He was technically one of the greatest footballers of all time and the best I ever saw. He could spot and hit a pass that our current 'world class players' bungle every week and he could judge angles and speed in a split second. He was an incredible footballer. Genuinely incredible.

He was also partial to giving a defender a smack if they took the piss.

People like Sanchez and Ozil should bear this in mind when they strut around the Emirates. We were lucky enough to see a clutch of genuine world class players play every week 10-15 years ago. We know what it looks like.

It ain't you two. Wont be nobody crying when you leave and you ain't getting a statue.

Pair of ****s.

The point is that things that means something to you should challenge you, and things that challenge you should make you nervous.

However, nerves and fear are not the same thing. Nerves are natural, fear is the consequence of failing to deal with them.

You should be nervous going out to bat. Anyone who isn't is a bit of a weirdo.

I don't get that. If you can actually bat, what are you nervous about?

in that sense, yes. In others I suspect not.

The fact that the guy at the other end can actually bowl...

You might get out and then you have basically wasted your day.

I imagine it's a bit like carrying the swag out of a bank you've just robbed; you simply do not know what the situation outside that front door is going to be.
