Scoring has slowed down. BORING!

Shame, so close to 200.

That fucking video clip. A pair of 70 odd year olds that have held a 50+ year grudge. It's like a bad Hollywood comedy.

Did Botham get fired by Sky or did he retire when he got made a Lord. I don't miss that terminal fucking bore and his pontificating commentary style.

Crawley the leading runscorer in the series.

If they're still scoring at a clip with wickets in hand, I'd be waiting til the lead was about 150. Given how quick they score, it would eat up minimal time but it could be crucial at the weekend if the weather is really bad.

Cummins is having some day.

Hope he gets to his hundred before he does something daft.

PL with another STATS STINKER!

Doesn't look like this Irish lass's team should take on any under 13s any time soon.

No more shitting in the street for pewer Jords.

Dee-fence! Cha Cha Cha! Dee-fence! Cha Cha Cha!

The music on that second tweet.

Fucking yanks will put Trump in the White House, possibly TWICE, but Joelinton can't get over there to play a few football matches.

(ignoring the "world class" comment)

Eddie Howe is the consummate professional and a nice bloke, who's saying the right thing about a bloke that has been a good servant to the club. That's all that's going on there.

He's gonna love it in the middle east man. Get on the hookah and play a game of Helios with Jordan Henderson. Check his bank balance. Mind if it takes 9 hours to explain the rules to a normal person, he's gonna need to set aside a week for Jords. Bit seriously, no one is turning down £10m a season when the club wants you gone.

Whoa, Dr PaddockLad and his social media based neuro divergent diagnoses!

Disgusting.

Craig Hope made a good point on his latest video. We talk about ASM in terms of the 3 or 4 good games he had last season. You need players you can forgive for 3 or 4 bad games, not ones where you can only point to the 3 or 4 good. It's obviously less black and white than that in reality but you get what he's saying. There's no room for passengers in a team that wants to go places.

His one footedness is fucking painful as well. From what I've seen of last night's highlights, Tonali looks like another natural footballer in the same way Bruno looks. He looks strong on the ball as well. If I was ASM, I'd be on my way for £10m a year. He's not gonna go to a club that wins things, so trophies aren't in his future anyway. He might as well work on his bank balance in a league where he'll enjoy the freedom to do his thing. I don't think going to the Saudi league is any slight on his character or his ambition either BTW.

That's it then, deal done.

That is absolutely no way to talk to PaddockLad.

Fabrizio Romano has tweeted that discussions are taking place over PM about a possible deal. No firm agreement in place yet.
