I see Woakes is opting for rehab rather than surgery because of the recovery period McCullum should be as brutal as he was with Anderson & tell him to have the surgery as his Test career is done I get Woakes' desire to take part in the grandest occasion possible for an English cricketer but he'...

All this chatter about keepers over the last 48-72 hours has made me miss Hugh Monteith and his peculiar obsession with goaltenders.

An enthralling, high drama ending of the sort that is unique to test cricket. We could spend eternity debating the razor thin margins that would've produced this or that result, I can't help but have a nagging feeling that England contrived to lose that though, with Bazball's continuation of head-sc...

Woakes going out to bat one handed to save the test is absolute theater. He shouldn't even need to be in that situation though, the moronic Bazball prick Brooks threw his wicket away and Smith bottled it this morning (I thought we binned off Foakes for Smith because the former supposedly can't bat w...

Atkinson looks the part but coming back from injury so should be managed carefully. Woakes sending some good stuff down but fatigue makes him less metronomic than usual, and he's a dreadful record in Australia anyway. I'm still yet to be convinced by Tongue, even excluding his brief bout of the yips...

My old man has had this email and it's thoroughly confused him as to why it's necessary now compared to the previous 11 years he's qualified for old gits ST concessions... Still, it's been the final nudge he's needed to stop giving any more of his retirement money to the parasitic poisonous porno dw...

Home shorts and socks are okay though equally as low effort as the shirt. Whole design has that "end-of-term" apathy about it, another facet affected by the current miasma surrounding the club.

David and Gomes on frees would be excellent business. So of couse we'll pass on them as the parasitic poisonous porno dwarf won't sign anyone not on the Salthouse/Mackay client list...

Enjoyed his stewardship when it was going well but the wheels eventually came off and he's a hard bloke to like even when he's on the up. Once that relationship with the fans soured it was only a matter of time until the exit door beckoned. I feel that parting ways was best for all but as usual the ...

Will offer us some dead ball threat if nothing else, and maybe Potter can get him playing in a pivot role that recycles the ball quickly. Still prefer JWP to come on rather than Guido.

Disappointing as always to be leading and then end up empty handed but more encouraging signs from Potter. At least we're prepared to have a go, Potter's immediate predecessors would've either written the game off before a ball was kicked or probably been 3-0 down within 20 minutes due to a ludicrou...

A forward was needed and he seems to fit the profile of player that we need. Bit of an odd one though if we don't have an option to buy as has been noted, he'll either do well and have his price jacked up or he'll do shit and we won't make any material gains on pitch. Still, it might inspire more ex...

If Moyes had gotten us playing like he's currently got Everton doing, I'd have been happy for him to stay.

But he couldn't so I'm not.

0-1 flattered Everton a bit, they looked hopeless at simple short passes and their only out appears to be the full backs pumping it long to DCL (sound familiar?).

That press conference is something else though, deary me. Equal parts David Brant and Alan Partridge.

Bit chaotic and scrappy but we got 3 points, and that with a somewhat cobbled together team led by a bloke whose been in post for a week compared to the slick and well drilled outfit that have had 2 years under Silva. Pleased to see that Potter can be pragmatic but still try to implement his ideas (...

Seems fitting that he'd be their last manager at Goodison Park.

Though I would find it utterly hilarious if he relegates them and they open their new stadium in the championship.

Whatever else we make of the Villa cup tie, Scarles starting was a real bright spot and I'm glad he looked the part and not overawed by the occasion. I found the travelling fans chanting his name rather uplifting, and incredible to see that he was trusted to take set pieces over long established pro...

Macari did cross my mind this week, a bit before my time though so if anyone who was around for that can compare the two I'd interested to read it!

Lop given the Spanish archer, and we appoint the man we should've gone for in the first place last summer. What a waste of everyone's time, thanks Sullivan you odious cretin.

Lop The Flop is gone according to a couple of ITKs on KUMB. Just hasn't been announced yet as once again, the parasitic poisonous porno dwarf is fucking up with appointing the successor. I do wonder how exactly Sullivan is trying to save a few bob here, is he trying to force Lop to walk to save on t...

He may be desperate for work like Moyes was in 2017... Wasn't Bilic something like their 6th choice to replace Allardyce because everyone on the circuit saw his shabby exit from us and decided to give Sullivan a wide berth? The parasitic poisonous porno dwarf has only doubled down on that with Moyes...

Truly abominable behaviour from the parasitic poisonous porno dwarf. I've seen more professionalism in Romford Job Centre than from him and the devil with tits.

6 month deal for whoever the replacement is? Fuck off.

Kudus certainly passed well to De Bruyne to set up Man City's 4th...

Potts emerging as the one player close to stepping up to the first 11. He is not the pacy, box to box, physical presence we still need desperately but works harder than the likes of  Paqueta, Rodruiguez and co when out of possession and very tidy in possession with great passing accuracy.  If he's ...
