I've missed Faes immediately looking round for someone else to blame

Wish I’d put money on Tonda getting the saints job rather than suggesting it on here and getting laughed at

Anyone seen the quote from Marti saying Top will attend? Think it’s been taken out of context meaning tomorrow as his plane is still in Thailand would be particularly surprising given he’s already said new MD will attend fan forum as he can’t leave Thailand at the moment.

"Fooking hell do we have to play again?!?!"

Weird isn't it. Not had any training footage for a couple of days either.

Keep forgetting Claudio is doing the Technical Director role now...... interesting......

Cheers Jakub, all the best

I think there's two parts to it. 1) It's a fitness thing. On the bowling side. England with 4/5 in the attack today who are all in good shape, strong, quick. Ten/Fifteen years ago you'd still have blokes rocking up for test cricket that didn't look too dissimilar to the lads you'd play with on a Sunday I was watching classic tests last night and Tim Bresnan was stomping about (doing well mind you...) 2) T20 and the like has brought test cricket style closer to one day cricket, so batsmen throw their wickets away more often in the interest of scoring quick runs. Which results in either a hell of a lot of runs being scored by one team in one day, or two almost full innings Wasn't that long ago taking two days to get to 400 in a test was normal. Now you wouldn't be shocked if a team posted that in a day.

Shame we couldn't take that last one, but perhaps the England openers will prefer a few overs of watching tomorrow rather than being thrown straight into a start of the day setting again. What a day though, commentated on by the residents of your local care home in slow motion....

Best point so far, that replay of the insect on Carse collar.... they both thought they kept showing it for a potential LBW and barely said anything I had my own version in my head of Bumble talking about it

I really hope they get enough complaints to make a change. Either use the Australian feed, use TMS or hire the old Sky lot who got fired!

Get in! Needed that, shocking shot

Love how they always use “it’s how he bats, he’s agressive” as an excuse. Then you see his opening partner, an actual talented aggressive batsman show how to actually do it

****ing hell my right eye hadn’t even opened yet!

Article says leaves Charlotte to join Newport.

Choosing his own assistant too, might be getting the band back together

**** me the Newport content writer is one Guided by ex-Chelsea maestro di tattiche calcistiche Claudio Ranieri

Kids are probably old enough to move over here now from an education point of view, they always used to seem to love being over here and he's always kept business links open hasn't he.

Happiest news on this place in yonks! Go smash it!

I mean Ashley Phillips is going to go on to be a long term Spurs and England player in the next few years. Would love him in our defence!

Blimey careful where you’re swinging that thing, nearly had my eye out!

Ahhhh the old J Rudkin school of negotiating!

I've been the best cook in our house this year (i'm the only cook....)

I'm pretty sure the Vatican City are still in with a chance at this point mate, so probably...

Congrats to Curacao! An island with close links to King Power of course *allegedly*
