SC, I was able to get archive.ph to bypass the Times paywall and show whole articles again yesterday, so you might want to try with this article to see if it will work.

Don't think many people will be that bothered if Beckers not doing commentary. As long as we get John Lloyd then I'm sure we will be happy enough.

Agreed - and Bouncy as well. Dream team.

I've just archived a Times article too. Not sure if they deliberately prevented articles being archived last week or if there was just a system issue. Either way it's working now.

That's it though, I'm not a fan of what he did, but his commentary is less annoying.

Well, Ive said it before that I dont dislike Boris as such, and personally have always enjoyed his commentary; my favourite was in fact Michael Stich as a commentator and I heard he might come back to radio five live this year.

no one can like what Boris did, I tend not to castigate him as a person though - I guess Ive met enough people who have had troubles with the law and made bad choices and arent bad people. but I know many others dislike him fervently.
