Novelty has worn off.

Aye, poor little fucker

Refused to come off the bench when we lost to Villa and went down. That might have had a negative impact on his relationship with Shearer too

Root averaged less than 40 in the match which is normal for him at 3 and significantly worse than his average when batting at 4. Nice try though

Surely if they’re mates he’ll be telling them to avoid the place like the plague in any case

Dos ceveza por favor

I think we really did. In real terms

You’ve inadvertently stumbled upon the real problem, you absolute fuckwit

Yeah, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he batted in the position he has for his last 3 test innings which have yielded 2 centuries. The cricket genius might just be into something there

On secondment and to answer Rayvin’s question, (it’s data analysis anyway from my POV) but he should know that, in government, you don’t need a strategy to have a strategy team

I’m currently down in Whitehall working on the EU Exit Strategy team. It’s funny because it’s true

Exactly. As I’ve said previously it’s not about giving Bruce a chance (or not) it’s about not giving the owner yet another chance

No blame to apportion?

That’s a shite result

Until you fucking post anyway

I have a feeling he might be bald

Worth a read. The more I look the LBW shout against Stokes the more I think the umpire got it right https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/ben-stokes-was-out-or-was-he-20190827-p52lbo.html

Guaranteed he asked the coppers ‘Do you know who I am?’

Not even pretending it’s a democracy any more

Poo Geordie tbh

He sounds like a moron tbh It was probably the greatest test innings ever by an Englishman and it contained a bit of everything. Not least because it was built on the foundations of a defensive masterclass when Stokes had to dig in and was something like 2 not out off 60-odd deliveries overnight. He only went berserk when there was little other option. The big thing being virtually no one else could have actually carried it off
