I was thinking this. Him and Smith could go berserk. All depends on when they're in I suppose.

I thought England bowled really well. Could easily have had India out for a good 150 runs less than they got if they had a little bit more luck. India played and missed at loads. Maybe they should have gone slightly fuller. That said, I thought India did very well to get as many as they did. I didn't see Crawley and Duckett doing this well against the moving ball from Bumrah and Siraj. India are bowling horribly here and we need to cash in.

Would be a great signing. Someone who would probably come here as a bench option but quickly take over from Patson. He impressed me in the Europa Conference when I saw him and that's mostly a Championship-ish level.

Also Enzo is quite clearly a top level manager.

The blokes could do with a Lucy Bronze. World class, been everywhere and won everything without an ego. Leads by example with her effort and determination.

Happened to us. First game as title holders.

Think about how far England have come under Weigman. To think Phil Neville was the last England manager.

Agyemang has been so good whenever i've watched her for England.

Saw them at Heaton Park at the weekend. 2-3 hours of some of the best music ever written played to perfection. Richard Ashcroft was phenomenal too. Urban Hymns, Morning Glory, Definitely Maybe.... Is there anyone active that can produce anything like those albums?

Can we really call Harry Winks "England International Harry Winks"?

Monga is the absolute business.

Kit is wank.

Walshy fell asleep in a sunbed or something?

To be honest he could put himself in that back four and I would still expect us to beat Sheffield Wednesday by 3 goals.

Fatawu on the bench

They didnt fancy practicing penalties then?

Get the impression with Lauren James that she could be the women's version of a Messi/Ronaldo hybrid but she simply can't be arsed. Jogging about but clearly got all the talent in the world.

You could all literally just not read his tweets if he annoys you by the way.

Re. Over rates. This video is well worth a watch. They have it right IMO. Over rates should be the duty of the umpire. They need to do a lot more to get the game going and the amount of completely unnecessary breaks are taking away from paying customers. I agree with Broad in that player shouldn't care about them but Shubman Gill being treated for a back injury on the pitch while he's a fielder, drinks breaks either side of designated drinks breaks, glove changes, ball changes etc. Umpires should be much firmer on ensuring the game moves along. It feels like umpires have less and less authority. I agree that over rates should never come before the quality of play but there is a lot that could be done to speed the game up.

Life under Aiyawatt.

Maybe something like this at Old Trafford. 1. Crawley 2. Duckett 3. Pope 4. Root 5. Brook 6. Smith 7. Stokes 8. Dawson 9. Atkinson 10. Carse 11. Archer

I don't think we will go into it with the exact same players but I can't see many changes. I think we'll get a striker in and anything beyond that will depend on sales (we'll get a keeper in if Hermansen goes etc).

Did it work last time? I would argue that it absolutely didn't and that is why we've had to cut short the BC Game "multi-year" deal to find someone else. I could understand the club naively going with a dodgy betting company that were making promises they couldn't keep once but to go straight in again is baffling and shows that the club's only focus is ensuring as much gambling money enters the coffers. Difficult to say we don't get away with anything considering we've successfully avoided any real PSR issues despite consistently overspending.

I personally wouldn't want to say hello to someone who wears LCFC vests.
