Oi! That was MY line!

I believe

Yowza light blue touch paper and retire with that last paragraph. (note I agree with the pay for your tickets concept)

On 50 grand a week he cold afford to have two pads one in the smoke & one in the leafy village to save the miles on his Bentley/Aston/Range Rover during the week

Dear Gemmel. May I humbly suggest you ask the Corporate Financial experts rather than a Football Mainbored? ie go ask this stuff on PTS, that has the world's greatest Legal/Corporate lawyers available 24/7 and free of charge

Ah the gambling, banking & Islam conundrum...... Why is Saudi' Royal Yacht always parked in Monte Carlo bay? Why does Dubai Horse Racing not allow gambling but allows you to do a free of charge 6 horse accumulator where you can win a Mercedes? And we have Dubai Duty Free Draws & Shopping Festival Raffles where you buy a ticket? I had some great nights out at the Casinos in Cairo & Beirut Most Gulf States opened Stock Exchanges and allowed the local banks to lend money to everyone, which they spunked onto the Stock Exchanges and lost DIFC and the rest selling Interest earning Pension & Savings Plans to locals Standard Dubai Rules - perform and quietly carry on without passing any judgement opinion or comment But yeah, Cisse did a great Impression of Shane Watson there - interesting Opening, got off the mark well then, went and got himself out to an obvious flaw.

I'd love to agree, but I think the Aussies do have one shock weapon that could turn the series around and stop this happening. Michael Fish C'mon guys, just because you've had 2 weeks of sunshine, this is an ENGLISH summer after all and how have the trends on Summers been going of late? IF 5 days is possible in every test then anyone who bets against a whitewash must be blinkered or stupid. I just don't see that happening. I mean Durham? Ooop North? 5 days of no rain? Nah no chance

Yes but in the hole he will have scoring chances. That ain't any good if he keeps scuffing the shot.... Maybe he's out on the side because of that? AL is a great player make no mistake. What I think is getting to all of us is that we can all see how he could be even better. Composure is an issue not just for him but also Puncheon, that final ball or that final shot. Now I am no expert but to me Composure is a mental issue not a skill issue, perhaps these two need to spend extra hours simply kicking a ball into a goal or something (while blindfolded and surrounded by defenders) or maybe they need to see a shrink. It IS there in both of them, but I do think AL needs to sort that out this season. Take the armband away, concentrate on his own game, get someone to sort out that composure England Class

Striker. As we saw in the 2nd half last night when JRod & SRL went off, a strike force of Mayuka/Lallana would struggle in the Championship (actually, belay that they'd struggle at Development Squad level) We still have Yoshida to come back and Lovren showed glimpses

And Warner scores 193 for Aussie A down in SA. The Yarpies probably used my old Village Team bowling attack so they could play him into form to come back and hurt us.

The Land of Owe owe owe Kind of has a nice Ironic ring to it in connection with the skates.

Only if it was 46C AND Ramadan

OK bored now off to watch telly night y'all Safe trip home Andy & Alps

Was that a 5 XL Sash shirt we just saw typing on a mobile device?

Ah the old lofted ball in to Mayuka tactic....... Is it a co-incidence we've looked pants since Fox came on?

Oi Alps Have a freaking word with Fox & Gazza FFS

Ouch SRL? WTF was that?

Yeah good first save by KD but yuk and far too easy

Lolz like watching park game from the noises

Hang on, how come we aren't getting walloped by Schalke? Gonna walk the league then Do we have to give Alps & Andy D sh1t about their lack of singing skills? Why are they playing Tom Jones?

Nope, Blackburn never won the PL did they? They weren't a Provincial town club backed by a wealthy investor were they? Nope could never happen ever ever

Warner comes back and goes straight to Hove on Sunday, pretty sure they want him in the side on Thursday, there is no jet lag issue to SA time zone wise and Biz class is pretty comfy these days, he'll be fine IF he scores runs. Back to Agar, I think he will be useful, but he HAS to spin the ball side to side bowling this overspin (supposedly due to a cut finger?? REALLY?) it will be cannon fodder again. Lyon has to play

I keep trying to tell people, it's a hell of a tough job being a Golf Legend. Meanwhile, I tried going through Getty images tyo find a pic of an Aussie in a Man Bra. Strange every picture seems to be of smiling happy England players and Aussies walking back to the Pavillion. Anyways dunno if this will come out but you can CLEARLY see Ryan Harris in a Man Bra in this photo Case proven
