That could be the track jacket to be fair

Gold trim really ruins that, for me- hopefully not true.

That's the key- if he's one of a couple of senior pros coming in alongside some youngsters/promising players from the lower leagues with something to prove, this is a decent signing. If not, then it's time to fold the club.

Racking my brains to try and remember the last England game which made me feel like that. Argentina in 98 maybe?

On plenty of occasions with England, but not tonight- magic so far.

Just woke up? Wish I'd got a few hours kip in now.

Indeed- and not a european side which creates huge amounts of chances. 1.15 goals per game vs Kane's 0.71... mental.

62 goals in 54 international games for Haaland. An absolutely elite record, even if he was playing for a traditional powerhouse- crazy that he's done it for Norway and dragged them into a world cup quarter final.

Might be on my own here, and probably because I like Monzo that I don't find the branding particularly offensive, but ignore the shorts and socks and the 5 different shades of blue, ignore that it's Cov and that's objectively a nice football shirt.

Amazing to think about how different things felt when we'd just won the league and signed Maharaj.

That's right, it's called an airealator!

It is fairly bizarre that we've spent multiple seasons in Europe and won silverware under Adidias and had nothing but identikit slop from them. As soon as we end up in the third tier... Herey'are pal, have the city's coat of arms embossed on the home shirt and a running fox/trefoil away. Sound.

I actually really like that (aside from the rancid sponsor and Adidias' weird branding for the visually impaired). Not enough to shell out 75 beans, but I'll definitely get it when it goes on sale.

Should have put his ego to one side and got on the phone to Trent as soon as Livaramento got injured. Really odd hill to die on.

Get Madueke off that pitch pronto. Garbage.

These threads are always quite sad- Leicester has lost some fantastic boozers and pub culture in general is a million miles away from what it used to be.

"World famous City Ground" from Broad on comms... They just cannot help themselves can they

Might have been a different game if Kelly hadn't slipped on the boundary. Oh well.

To restrict them to under 450, after going wicketless for 2 sessions, in this heat, on this pitch, and staring down the barrel at 300-odd without loss is a Herculean effort. Fair play.

I may have to give King Power some money against my will.

Excellent performance. Possibly just finding our feet this season- 4 wins in 5 across all formats now.

Wouldn't be County unless one of their tail-enders scored a career best.

Reckon that one will end up very close. Surrey going well though- 2 of those 4 wickets are nightwatchmen and Glamorgan have been out in the field for a long time now.

2 down now. Could do with an unlikely favour from Surrey too.
