I made the sensible and mature decision to avoid that game like the plague

So I am in a relatively good mood. I also cant really comment on what happened but obviously i have seen it plenty of times before.

Everything else aside, you have to say that third goal was hilarious. The back line of our defence is 20 yards into the liverpool half leaving 60 yards off space behind them the second Bellerin miscontrols a header from our own corner.

In any league, at any level, that is so absurd that it defies belief. I once saw a pub player get punched in the face by his own captain for something similar.

Wenger's Arsenal at its finest

I chose instead to watch the surprisingly enthralling test match. wd the Windies for actually making a game of what after the first test I'd assumed was going to be a cake walk.

It's a cracking test match, think we've done well to wrestle back control

We have. Moeen and Stokes are good to watch, I must say. That said, I was thinking when we went into bat that if we made 400 we'd win the game. Having made more, I think it's a racing certainty.

Yes, that got rather interesting. With four wickets down I noted we were effectively 75-4. About normal then

Exactly. I felt a bit sorry for the West Indies as our lead started to mount. Mind you, if you don't hold your bloody catches, you deserve to lose.

Bairstow really didnt get the memo about 'respecting test cricket' did he. Stokes and Moeen are showing how you can counter attack without going into one day mode and taking silly risks. He needs to sort his head out.

I was watching it on my iPad with my earphones in the garden and (apparently) shouted 'What the fùck was that, you thick, ugly, ginger cùnt?' when he played that shot. I thought I'd said it in a reasonable tone, but apparently not.

I'm not sure my neighbours appreciated that too much. After all, if they wanted to hear that sort of thing being bellowed uncouthly, they'd move in next to WES.

If you're the last man, then you just don't take a chance

[Peter]

If you're the last man, then you just don't take a chance

I think the crucial point is why is the last man (two of them actually) standing 15 yards outside the opposition box. When did that become a good idea? And when the ball comes out to them they both move towards it

THease are the things you have to tell the slightly mental kid who turns up for a kick about one day. Even he normally gets it
