and Luis Enrique or Postecoglou...... yeah, right

The whole Joe Lewis thing is weird, he clearly doesn't give much of a toss but yet he let them build a £1bn stadium. Just a very odd club

After Celtic's Aussie now it seems

It's astonishing how Levy stays in that role. I know he part owns the club but you have to think Joe Lewis doesn't give a **** or he would have moved...

Yep, agree on that. Think Martinelli could easily be as good as Anelka in that role

I suspect Newcastle won't find the whole FFP avoidance thing quite as easy as City have. Depends what happens with City I guess. At least the...

I get the distinct impression Arteta was trying to get us over the line with the players that had got us into that position.....which was daft

Clearly hindsight is a wonderful thing but I do wonder if we'd have seen the drop off happen if AW had been involved in some capacity with the club....

Good job we had 70+ points by that time......City aside, we drew with Liverpool away, beat Newcastle away and Chelsea at home. We clearly struggled...

Harsh, there's been a massive improvement in a very young squad (the youngest squad got relegated). We clearly ran out of steam and next year,...

Sorry, I meant playing them both in the same test. Fingers crossed that Stokes can bowl. I assume he's not playing in order to get fully fit for the...

Yes but maybe not both. Wood and Robinson start the opener for me, with Anderson if fit. And Leach (for his batting)

I think Wood has to stay fit as well. Do you risk playing Broad and Anderson?

Indeed - though if it is particularly long you can always throw the gloves to Jonny (thinking outside the box :) )

Arguably our most important player this summer - certainly bowler

:nod: It's farcical, the ban should kick in at the end of the season.

Ollie Robinson has to play, just dismissed Marnus Labuschagne for 1

It was a yellow, had his arm by his side. Ref had already lost control by this point. Martinelli gets a yellow and Caicedo doesn't make that tackle

I always thought 5 or 6. Though I did once win a pool tournament when I had no recollection of the final the next day

My pool playing is at it's best 3 pints in. Perfect mix of confidence and not too pissed to start duffing shots

Darts - like pool - is easier with a few beers, Wes. Why do think the English invented these sports?

Yeah, I liked it there, at the one in Victoria. A) I won B) The company was paying for the drinks

It should be a cracking series, but yes, I fully expect us to mess it up.

Brook and Pope will be undoubtedly - hopefully they will prove so this summer. Pope's average is poor for a player of his talent though. Brook's is...

Thought the same with Nketiah and Ghana

Been a few times, at least you can :lager: and not worry about throwing a bag of spanners
