There it is.

How have Arsenal not got a 4th there

Merino writhes round in agony... Gets helped up and says 'nah you're alright' to the physio Such blatant feigning of injury.

I thought the as said they wouldn't be able to see the match, and would only be told snippets of what's going on?!

Out of literally nothing!

What a goal

Quite clear how much Arsenal want this more than Spurs. They're just quicker to every ball and challenge.

All that half time team talk just for that

Spurs defending horribly. How has Eze has time to shoot there

Boring game so far despite that goal for Arsenal.

Not going well for McAteer at Ipswich...

Can't remember the last time an Ashes test was done in 2 days.

Excellent lower order batting from Atkinson here

What a start to the Ashes

Yeah out of those I'd probably be going for Man Utd. Sunderland away from is average, Fulham home are decent (only lost to Arsenal so far). Between those two for me

Who have you got left to choose from?

Usual? Only been 2 in the last 100+ years!

In reference to the baffling comments by Steve Smith regarding Panesar's time on Mastermind

Don't get how this is good for PL, at least not for the fans? Sources have suggested the deal could be seen as good news for the Premier League given it adds another big broadcasting name to the football rights market and should not lead to an overall reduction in the TV pot.

Birmingham stadium looks like it'll be iconic, but if it actually turns out as good as that I'd be surprised. It'll just look so glum on a non-match day. Can't deny it's not different though!

They used a device above the tiles which beeped (fairly strongly) where the water was coming through, and nothing at all as he veered away from it. He eliminated it being a mains water issue (there's a small black dial he showed us on the water meter that would turn rapidly if there was a leak - he checked it and it was static) and also eliminated a central heating issue. As the water on the tiles was also near the toilet, he checked this - he had a cctv cable and examined the inside of the casing. Luckily he was able to identify the drip leak from within. I'd never heard of different types of washer for toilets either but he was honest enough to tell us not to pursue with him as it'll be more expensive than a normal plumber, and said we'd probably be better off going through insurance to get it repaired (plus any damage caused already).

For anyone remotely interested, we had a trace and access team investigate our issue today - it was a leak on our toilet underneath the cistern. Because there is casing around the toilet itself, and held against the wall with silicon, it would have been impossible to know without their investigation today that this was the cause. So we wouldn't have seen it or been able to stop it earlier. There would appear to be a rubber washer that perhaps has failed, so the water has had to find somewhere else to go effectively, and that's down under the floor. Thankfully the guy reckons it's not a big leak, and that it is relatively easy to fix. The only issue being that the rubber washers used on the toilets in these new builds aren't universally used, so may be difficult to find 🙄. Relieved to know where it's coming from now, and just hoping we can get insurers to cover the costs of that repair and damage to wall/flooring...

Surely you can't go into an Ashes series with Root as the main spin option?

Bit early to moan about Xmas I think

Feels like it needs a freshen up. I don't mind the taunting, to an extent. But some of them don't go about it the right way and are too clumsy with it. There must be something in the rules about what you can and can't leave behind at someone's house or with an associate. If it was me I'd leave loads of red herrings. Or create lots of WhatsApp chats with different people telling them I'm coming on this day just to try and throw the hunters off
