Long overdue I think, better than bundling all sorts into the Leeds and non league thread. I see, after all the speculation, Graham Potter has just left Swansea to join Brighton, signing a 4 year deal. I know everyone wants to progress in their career / life and the lure of the Premier League would be big...

For my own amusement, I thought I would try and keep track of the top tennis nations over the course of the year and see where GB stacked up. Being honest, my main interest is the mens game, so I planned to track the week by week average rankings of the top 10 players in each of the key countries and see if GB ma...

Which seemed a little weird after a while. And during the horrid-old period, there was the transition tour section for ITF rankings, and we har...
