This is what we're up against.

It's German for "the darkman, the".

I’ll just leave this here… (To be fair to Neeson, he was only in the first one ).

Good read, that and neatly sums up a lot of why I’ve fucked Twitter off. There’s absolutely no middle ground to any discussion anymore.

City are back to the top, Liverpool are going to fuck it up again

My football career is officially over. Since I got the all clear I’ve been back to the gym and doing alright but playing 7 a side is murdering me. Played last night and thought I had been hit by a golf ball, snapped my calf muscle, crutches the lot. Anyone wants a signature of the best footballer tip never play professionally send me a stamped and addressed envelope

He’s busy stockpiling tomatoes and Erdingers.

The point about the MSM totally ignoring it is spot on too. Disgraceful really

I'll never vote again. I've been aware for a long time that our democracy to a certain extent is an illusion. But these cunts are giving up an pretence. I've had it with the whole fuckin pack of them.

It’ll come as no surprise to anyone that I hadn’t

I had been laughing at the Aussies, after the India series and some spectacular top order collapses against Sri Lanka, but I have retreated into my shell after the last two tests in the WI. Even when the other team is showing England what they need to do on the pitch, they will not do it, and say they want to play aggressive cricket. Sometimes you just need to hang around first, to allow yourself to play aggressive cricket later. They all seem to want to score a century at a run a ball, and all they end up doing is scoring a few at a run a ball. Muppets

“Planning “

Also there was that match (away series v South Africa?) where he was out trying to hit a 6. I think England were only a few runs from winning if my memory serves me right. I wonder if he’d have done better if he’d not had that in the back of his mind. In test cricket people seem to have forgotten being 60-0 after 20 overs is better than being there after 8 overs. It’s all about seeing off the new ball and tiring the opening bowlers. Edit: even more so with our middle order

I think Burns has done enough to suggest he might make it. Was interesting hearing Compton talk about how Bayliss’ comments about him needing to score quicker ate away at him. Compton has probably looked as good as any of the players they’ve tried post-Strauss. Obviously he’s retired now but I find it ridiculous that you would pick a player based on their first class performances then ask them to change the way they play

His rehabilitation should be a priority for the ECB but he’s not very good at scoring runs quickly and the whole English county game is all about white ball cricket with the Championship pushed to the margins. It’s bizarre when you consider how much the public like Test cricket.

The batting has been utterly pathetic so far. I hope Hammeed has a massive return to form at the start of the county season because we're seriously lacking in a top order.
