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

[World's End Stella]

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

You chose well, Peter. Although you missed Carragher singling out Ramsey's 'play' in the build up to their first goal. It was absolutely hilarious and utterly vindicated our previously stated view of him.

Perhaps someone more talented in youtube searches than I can get a link for you.

It actually made me laugh out loud. And then want to kill him.

[Burney]

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.

[Burney]

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.

[Burney]

Yes, it's had a little use this summer, although my shoulder issues mean I can do little more than bob, really.

Oh, dear. Is it that bad, then?

Perhaps its Karma for all these piggies' shoulders you keep devouring?

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

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 decided to go to Whitstable for the day so didn't watch the game. It was a lovely warm day and a much more preferable day out.

I only wish I put a bet on 4-0 as that was my fear. Having seen the highlights, I'm glad I missed it.

It's improving, slowly, and it's far better than it was.

Having not watched it I perhaps shouldn't comment but..... it does appear from what I have seen this season that the overall team is such a mess that looking at individuals is missing the point.

Ramsey might be a very good player under a proper manager who tells him and everyone else what to do and ****s them out the door if they don't do it.

Probably not. I am afraid I have felt for years that Ramsey never got over his injury, psychologically. He is **** scared of being in possession in deeper, central areas, particularly when teams are pressing the ball. He flings it on to someone else straight away and most of the time makes sure he is not in a position to receive it. In short, he hides in games. WE have all done it.

Did you wear a hooped bathing costume and straw hat ?

[Peter]

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.

If you pop up the coast to Seasalter there's a really lovely restaurant called Jojo's. Better than anything in Whitstable bar the fancy dan Wheeler's.
