What has happened to CT?

And hopefully most of the old racists will have died Surely Bob Geldof on his boat on the Thames

Are they all looking for a new contract?

No need to consider him then

I think Ireland may have been a bit complacent with their selections

And black and white

There are other media outlets you know

You can shout all you want, but that is a red card all day long. Norman "bites yer legs" Hunter is not playing any more.

That win against Spurs has really clouded too many people's judgement on the success so far. One point would have been a much more realistic position (after Schar's goal should have apparently been struck off due to Hayden's handball). And that one point would only have been as a result of millimetres due to Schar's clearance

Love the fella, but you can't let in a goal at your near post like that. Could be down to confidence, I appreciate, but that is goalkeeping 101

Especially once Solskaer get the boot

Stoke can leave with everyone's blessing

Someone must have got hold of his phone. He doesn't take advice from anyone - which is the problem

There never was such a place. MPs are elected to make decisions, not pass them back to the idiots who voted for them in the first place, when it becomes too difficult for those MPs to decide which option is more likely to result in them losing their seat.

Make your mind up

I can't believe she is still alive. She seemed ancient when I left the UK in 2000

At least it sounds like the weather will be nice

Also the fact that neither UM nor Edwards (nor Bruce probably) would have expected anything but a thumping from Spurs, which is the only thing keeping us off the bottom currently. Muppets!

Lovely jubbly you plonker Rodney

Has always seemed a bit odd that Buttler keeps in ODIs and T20s, but Bairstow in Tests. Not a good look if he picks and chooses where he plays, though. They both need to up their games with the bat, though, as opposed to as keepers.

Been a safer (as opposed to better) batsman, as well, this year. Never going to get a sparkling 50, but has shown he can stick around with a better batsman, which poor old Moeen has just not been able to do for a while. Sometimes that is more useful than getting a lot of runs - as at Headingley.

Good post. I agree about specialists rather than all rounders. After all, Foakes got a ton in his first test, didn't he? I am not sure that both Buttler and Bairstow can continue to be picked without getting some red ball runs soon. If either of them is to be the wicket-keeper all rounder, he must score runs. At the moment, Buttler is probably ahead, but neither is the best keeper available, which should always be the relevant factor. I like having Curran in there, both for his potential with the bat but more so because of the different angle he provides. He could do with a bit more pace, but he must be the future. We need to blood some players in NZ this winter, to see how they go. Although I cannot stand the man - he has no class whatsoever (other than as a batsman, obviously) - Smith was the difference. Labuschagne was the next best and probably saved the Lords test for Oz. Just when we had knocked out Smith, another annoyingly tough batsman came along. I don't understand, on that basis and his record in England, he was not chosen from the beginning. Finally, I totally agree about Warner - couldn't have happened to a nicer twat.

Serves him right with a name like that.
