Sounds like it’s a good job no one answered this.

Does anywhere in the town have the match on these days?

I think he means they're our reserves biggest rivals. Whitley Bay aren't up to much these days!

He looks like he has pace, a good left peg and the knowledge that in order to beat a man you can just run into him. Which puts him ahead of all of our attacking players.

It's got nothing to do with Rafa has it? It's the bloke who's covering Pedro while he's suspended who'll be picking the team. Not that it matters because we aren't allowed to play 1st teamers. Not that the mackems are known for letting facts get in the way mind.

So I take it at least a couple of boxes must have recently been sold? Anyone noticed any sheiks in them for the last couple of games?

I'd much rather have Diame playing than Perez or Kenedy who are both fucking pansies who rarely do anything other than give the ball away. Ritchie is our only attacking player who can remotely be relied to play consistently in a slightly positive manner. Unfortunately he's only average in this league. I can't get too down about losing (especially a game that we could have actually got something out of if we had took early chances) after three wins on the bounce. To do better than that is extremely difficult for even the best best teams in the league, and we are certainly nowhere near the very best. It is still disappointing to see how a club like West Ham can financially blow us out of the water and it was blatantly obvious on Saturday that spending decent money gets you much better players. All we have is the manager keeping us in this league.

Watched this yesterday, I thought some of the segments were better than others but as you say it's certainly a compelling watch. What isn't a compelling watch is the new Robin Hood film. What it is, is probably the worst film I've seen all year. It makes no real sense, looks stupid, and has Ben Mendelsohn looking completely bored of playing pretty much exactly the same part that he played in Rogue One and Ready Player One. I'll try not to spoil it for anyone by recommending no one go to see it.

Yeah superstitions are nonsense. I'm going for 2-0 win again.

Jennings could probably a useful cover bowler too at some point. I think it's good to see what Sri Lanka have done today, it was looking at one point that they wouldn't be good enough to make a game of this but they've come back well and you'd have to have them as favourites for this match now.

Curran's start to test cricket has been pretty sensational. As a left armer he gives us something different and his contribution with the bat is more than anyone could have hoped for. Its quite possible that he could be selected for his batting in the future and that would give us the opportunity for some great balance in the side.

I wouldn't dare.

2-0 again.

Not that much of a surprise given the last match and the bowling requirements. It'll be interesting to see how Stokes and Butler do higher up the order.

Muto makes no difference as it's a dead cert that Perez would have been in for him anyway. I actually think it might help us having to play Ki instead of Shelvey. Voldemort hasn't been in great form (I got told last Friday he'd been carrying an injury for weeks but wanted to keep playing to try to help the team) and Diame upped his game a hell of a lot when he went off. I'll go for another 2-0 prediction.
