I thought we might have paid over the odds for him when he signed-it look like I was wrong. To get him for less than we sold Chaplin (if estimates on fees are to be believed) seems like a fantastic bit of wheeler-dealing. And to think he wasn't apparently first choice.

One really good thing is the belief that even when we're behind we've got the confidence at the moment to come back into it. So many times in previous seasons games like today and Portsmouth would've been all over and we'd have almost gone into damage limitation mode and just tried not to...

I get that point, but there are a couple of times where teams have done this and then failed to win because the other team has managed to bat out the game. I think Aus actually lost one doing this a few years ago. I understand the point on bowlers being tired and wanting to rest them, but I'm...

Probably not, as it's not in fashion these days. But it was nice to at least not even let them have the option.

If they've seen it all and have a good idea what went wrong why would they vote for the same things that have historically shown to precede financial downturns and recessions? Fact is most vote for those that offer the most in terms of pensions increases and protecting their own finances. As...

At least we managed to avoid the follow on and force them into batting again. Guess most of them will try and get reasonably quick runs to give them time to get us out again while just letting Smith do his thang. Hopefully might lead to a few loose shots and quick wickets, esp if Broad can have...

Come on - if anyone is likely to vote with a more long term thinking it's students. Going to be around a long time and still have some of that ideology before the real world beats it out of them. Elderly vote for short-term gain because they know they won't be around forever. Working age people...

Did he say Cal or Kel?

Kelly big miss - literally. Not sure where the midfield steel is coming from today. Walsh is tiny, Westbrooke likes to pass the ball in rather than get stuck in and Shipley has the energy but isn't likely to get that stuck in. Think McFadz has come in for the experience and leadership. Bakayoko...

Do you not feel it's ridiculous that what a small handful of people 'feel' might happen has more of an effect on economic outlook than than what's actually happening in reality? Recessions, falling house-prices, wage deflation, falling share prices etc are all far more to do with knock-on...

But what if a player creates loads of chances but the fault is with the striker not scoring them? His assists would look crap, but it wouldn't be his fault. I'm not a big fan of xG or xC or whatever, but they can be useful in seeing where your deficincies lie. For example, last season so many...

Not working for me would be either not scoring/creating or allowing their full backs too much space to get forward without being tracked back putting pressure on the defence. Or to simplify it, I guess it could be put down as 'not winning'!

Why bring your mum's nipples into this? Weirdo ;)

How terrible. Wanting workers to have some ownership of the companies they work hard for and so getting more reward for it. Doesn't this encourage hard work, efficiency and professionalism from the workers because they've got a financial stake in how the company does? Resulting in improved...

Firstly, glad you survived and hope you've been well since. But secondly, he pushed you back UP - have you been a bad boy then? I also like the 'not ready for you yet'. Sounds like they'd not got the spare bed made up!

I've said before, we need to disrupt the rhythm of him wandering about and doing all his tics etc. Get back to the run and get bowling at him ASAP. He's supposed to be ready when the bowler is. If the umpire stops us bowling at him there's only so many times he can do that before he has to have...

I do in the main as well. Don't necessarily agree with his politics and ideals but he does seem to be the least partisan and does concede occasionally to the flaws of the right. On occasion they have Andy Zaltzman how can have his moments, even if he can be just a bit bizarre (and I expect him...

Surely it would be The Two Girls One Cup?

Did someone watch the Mash report? ;)

But the Unionists would say that unifying Ireland is surrendering to bombs and bullets. It's basically giving the IRA exactly what they want. So how do you think the more extreme Unionists would respond....? Not saying it's right, just it's what would happen. If you were in charge of this...
