At this rate we could lose this, but from what I remember, the States have always been super strong on the singles. Our guys look tired and struggling for focus.

Not getting into any arguments about what decisions were right/deserved etc - that was a great game for the neutral. A few more like that please!

You can see why there were so many calls for a red (and it probably was, to be fair) - doesn't seem as if Man Utd can get much from a game unless the other side are down to 10.

Yep - looks like the other coaches and set up at Brighton flattered him; given a club with (on paper) better players and more resources and he flopped at Chelsea, some good but a more mixed bag of players without the coaching resources to prop him up, also failed at West Ham. Without the players or a strong set up behind him, he's been found out.

A spanner?

Yes, of course people do, and you can get through this! But it sounds like you could do with more help. I know you've had a good chat with your boss, and this seems a good time to fix stuff - it's a good opportunity. I'm no expert on what's available to you, but you need to take it step by step, and whatever helps you not to reach for a drink in the morning sounds the first thing to tackle (otherwise there's a risk that you write the whole day off and start again the next day, but the next day starts the same way as the day before!) Some people get some help from AA (and ignore the bits that don't work for them, some Zoom meetings are easier for someone new than an in person meeting), some use CBT. Does your work have an employee health/help scheme which is usually anonymous - we've got PAM Wellness, but I've heard of other assistance programmes. Is working at work more an option? Sometimes taking yourself out of the place that enables you to drink in the morning at least starts to help address that? And I'm not underestimating that this will be hard, and there is stuff to sort beyond the physical pouring yourself a drink first thing, but may be today search around and see if you can call one person/organisation/ or make an appointment to see someone to get some help - it would be a good step that comes out of today? Most important of all, don't forget you've had a couple of good weeks, so well done in getting that under your belt - don't dismiss that or forget that - it shows you can do it - just because today didn't start off so well. Good luck!

Often wondered what it means, so I looked it up! It means you have to use all the green and yellow words you’ve got so far; you can’t try a completely new word with none of them in it to fish for new letters.

I don’t think it’s even a question about being found out by Division 1 bowlers setting traps. He gets himself out. They don’t need to set any traps.

Reminds me of a description that I think Jonathan Agnew used to recount against himself, that he went from keen young shaver to wily old-timer without actually being good in between!

He’s now 26. And he does it all the time. I was saying to someone in this Kent match when he hit a fine six off a ball that was asking for it, that he’d do the same in an over or two and then nick the next ball and get out for around 23. Didn’t know he had plans to bring that forward and got out the very next ball that he could have left. He shows absolutely no signs of learning anything. Under no pressure in this match and still does it. I’d be happy if we signed someone else. I’ve lost patience and we need more resilient batters for Div 1. If no other decent options available I’d give him a one year contract but that’s it.
