Beat me to it!

Farce - sack the ref. Dabo is on. No he isn't.

You've got to be careful with the water and food on hols....

49 - SHOT: City force a smart stop from Arnold, as Conor Chaplin hits an effort 25 yards out. 1-1 Long range effort or really shit attempt?

47 - Instant Allen impact! A poor clearance from the Northampton keeper goes to Westbrooke. He takes a touch and plays a great ball to Allen, who faints to shoot, takes it past the keeper and scores. 1-1 Ah, the old 'fainting' trick. Pretend to pass out and then just stick the ball in the net...

Is that a spin off of Everybody Loves Raymond or Everybody Hates Chris?

MR always seemed to be saying that Willis was being monitored/had a knock etc. Although he's not missed a massive number of games in each season he has at least one or two periods where he's missed a few games on the bounce through injury and sometimes has come back as a necessity rather than...

I wonder if he gave Bairstow an earful in the dressing room for wasting the review on a plumb lbw meaning he couldn't dispute what was quite clearly a huge error. I didn't like his response but can understand his anger and frustration at not having the opportunity to review it.

I've always felt that clubs qualifying for Europe should have to drop out of one of the cups or forego their European spot. They're always complaining about the number of games (even though during a break they travel halfway across the world for a friendly) so let's help them out a bit and give...

He's arguably got a decent eye for goal but at times his passing can be rather haphazard shall we say. But you did say he's got good vision for a pass rather than the ability to also make it.

Possibly, but if we went up and Hyam was given a new contract now, the money likely wouldn't be as vital and would be on a par with a squad/back-up player, which he would probably still be fine for. If he can step up we've got a decent defender on a relatively cheap wage for that level. Plus we...

I shall refer to him as Luke McThomas then.

I agree (which may surprise you). Last time we left through a commercial choice of the owners and the Ricoh was always an option just they didn't want to pay for it. When the crowds were way below their expectations because they thought fans were just addicts who could be fleeced they realised...

I agree - the obsession with flat pitches etc often made the Lords tests very dull affairs with loads of draws. Very difficult to get wickets. Edgbaston used to get loads of criticism for the pitch but those were always far more exciting to watch. You could tell the pundits came from batting...

Like him a lot and deceptively prolific not just in the air. Just used to annoy me that a guy of 6'7'' would jump 6'4''

Never heard of mirrors......? ;)

I think there were two main reasons why Bayliss underwhelmed last year. The first was he had played a lot of first team football at a young age and he was drained mentally as much as physically. Hopefully time-off in the close season will have dealt with that. The second was that he was playing...

I think it's the largely gritty realism and writing the dialogue in accents that adds to it. Also stuff like Les Mis because of it. Also why I prefer Bronte to Austen - too fluffy. Not knocking her or others like her like George Eliot because that was how their upbringing was, but for me they're...

Love the sport. Never watch opening or closing ceremonies. Or any kind of pompous circumstance like Trooping of the Colour. Jingoistic nonsense to keep the sheep in line.

I read the first one when it came out when I was 17 and it was very much a kids book. But it got kids reading so that was fine by me. But they do get darker as the series goes on and by the end deal with some quite adult themes. If I'd have been at the right age at the time I think I'd have...
