OTF

'ken oath. Mitch Starc's mum made a few birthday cakes for my kid's birthdays, and she's a champ. That's about my current interest in cricket wrapped up.

Has cricket started back up yet?

Fair enough, couldn't crack it for a run when we were weaker up top, so no chance now (loading impending injury crisis of strikers in 3...2...1...)

Have these QCs not seen that Luke Edwards has called this saga over?

Well this is an unusual feeling.

Niiiice Hendrick

You beauty, deserved goal!

Bit unlucky for Declan Rice to get injured despite not playing in the first half.

Evereything but the finish from Carroll.

Thought that was in for a moment.

Aye, despite all the possession we can't be pushing too high up the pitch.

Surely their next foul in midfield will elicit a yellow.

Not sure how Noble escaped the yellow there.

A bit early for a "challenge" like that Hayden.

It's true. His heart's a few sizes larger than his body.

Are Slickers would be a much more appropriate title.

I'll stretch my neck out and call it early, good chance of top 20.

Nah, there's Norway man.

The way I see it the O&D test and the actual takeover process are intrinsically linked but otherwise wholly separate processes. Once the submission is made for the O&D test they need to respond to it, regardless of whether the actual takeover will proceed.

Got to love the editing on that, top notch.

Liverpool didn't sign Olivier Bernard, surely you mean him? Absolute club legend, so great we brought him back for a farewell tour to sit on the bench, raise the spirits of the lads and provide seed money for his crepe endeavours to ensure the north east retained his treasured residency.

This.

Bruce takes what he is given, Rafa wanted his own players.

He can slot in at right back in a pinch, continuing the family line.

Appealing perhaps not, but damn intriguing. I guess we'll never really know what a hard minge is now.
