So what's the difference between Naser and Christine Ohuruogu, apart from the fact the latter served a ban, just short enough to not miss any global ...

[Powell]

Of course not. The Catholic Church wants to be seen as infallible, which means you shouldn't expect it to diametrically change positions within the living...

[Powell]

Apparently, when Argentina was about to introduce same-sex marriage 10 years ago, he (as the archbishop of Buenos Aires) called it "the work of the...

[Powell]

The point is Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are 3 players who are contemporaries and would all feature in any discussion on who the tennis GOAT is. We can...

[Powell]

It was. But that meet has been defunct for a couple of years now....

[Powell]

Obviously he does. My point is Federer and Djokovic are not mediocre on clay by any stretch of imagination. They're clearly the best players of this era...

[Powell]

Actually, Federer lost in 4 RG finals, all to Nadal, and also lost two RG semis to him. If Rafa didn't exist, Federer's record in Paris would be comparable...

Yeah, but they still set the criteria....

[Powell]

Well, I'm not in the T&FN fanboy camp that says anything 'the Bible' says is right, which is why I said what I did. Gdynia is not a great place to...

[Powell]

If Cheptegei wins the HM title next weekend, he'll be my personal AOY. Under T&FN's criteria, not counting any road races other than the marathon,...

[Powell]

I don't think it would be a particularly good place to set distance WRs in the summer, with the Spanish heat and all. It's only because the season got...

[Powell]

I do. And everyone else in the EU with any interest in political matters does, too....

[Powell]

In today's world, with news being easily obtainable in real time, there's just no demand for a weekly news magazine. By the time you get your copy, most...

[Powell]
