I know the story behind that. The bloke with the gym, aye.

Jimmy Juker Uncanny, as ever

TP's wummery on a par with Mike's ownership

You can rely on LM to cheer you up at times like this. Or any other time for that matter

Bit of both, gramps

I would be preparing spin friendly pitches like. Even then, we're in bother. Be nice for the likes of Ken to see an away Ashes series win for the first time I suppose

I don't think you have that much control over how much you care but (although it saddens me to admit as much) I'm quite pleased I'm no longer that bothered. Obviously I want to see the team do well and I care to an extent but I was particularly struck after the last derby. I was arsed for 2 minutes after the match. Then it was 'meh'. It didn't come close to ruining my weekend. In many ways that's the regime's biggest crime but, like I say, it's better that way because the club is going absolutely nowhere

What happens if I reckon someone will go and also want them to go but I don't want to jinx it?

Matt LeTissier just referred to Gareth Bale as an 'introverted winger' on SSN

Probably hanging around the Strawberry carpark

Think that finally ends any suggestion that the club lacks ambition

How long did you have to stare at the cream?

Still makes me laugh about CT saying that basic Italian pasta sauce recipe was a proper revelation in Boldon

Bet it looked nice as well

The commentary team and the summarisers seem genuinely surprised an all South American affair is physical and defensive even after the World Cup. It's like the last 45 years never happened

Colo's not the player he was plus he only has 12 months left so it sounds made up, ie he'll not fetch enough for it to have much impact on who comes in. It would free up wages but it sounds to me like a journo has picked who he thinks see the best 3 players to try and give a story a bit of credence.

J annoyed someone else had taken the moral high ground on a mental health issue

Liquid cricket from the Aussies. Liquid posting from Ken coming up soon

Anyway, Clarkson...

I can only hope 'Jezza' heeds that advice.
