It's late and I'm still at graft.

My point entirely. I can still be impressed with the athleticism but it has no real impact.

Great save. As I see it, it's like watching some wrestler pull off a moonsault in WWE. It looks impressive but we all know it has no real effect. Pickford made a hell of a reach to make that save and, as you say, since he'd had next to nothing to do for the rest of the game it was also impressive for his concentration. But it didn't impact the game positively for us at all. If he'd done worse we'd have actually been better off. That's not his fault and he should be rightly proud of it. I've made saves (not anywhere near as good as that) that have meant just as little in the context of the game that I've probably been just as proud of (in the context of my ability compared to his).

What the context that it led to a corner that cost us the win in 90 minutes

I thought that but last night was some of the worst I've ever seen and most of it was unpunished either on the field or by VAR.

Despite the fact that I was joking before and strawb was totally correct that Pickford couldn't have known it wasn't on target, I don't see how you can compare it to Gordon Banks save when the shot wasn't on target. Taking nowt away from Pickford as he did great to get a hand to it. It simply can't be as good.

Very true. I wasn't being serious and my first reaction was that it was a superb save. Thought the pen save was excellent though, very strong wrist when he was diving the wrong way.

Pickford's save of a ball that was going wide took the game to extra time. If the daft cunt had just let it go out for a goal kick we could have seen the game out.

Ki having a medical ahead of a free transfer from Swansea. I always thought he was a pretty decent player but shopping in the bargain basement again doesn't bode well.

I don't think Pope looks that great tbh. My brother in law is from Burnley and he doesn't think he's a patch on Heaton. He's undoubtedly done well this season but I think he's been helped by the way Burnley are set up. They allow quite a few shots but not from area's where their keeper has to make really good saves. So he just makes a high number of saves you would really expect to see a decent keeper make. Butland looks far and away the best of the bunch for me.

Maybe he's hiding with Steve Smith in Canada?

Big Trouble In Little China is another 80's classic along with everything John Hughes did (apart from Home Alone).

I do love that like. It would be the best shirt we've had in years.

My thoughts exactly.

I instantly thought of this.

I'm not sure he faced a ball in the first over actually Another excellent performance. I think we're only ranked 5th in T20's but I suspect we will move much closer to number 1 if we actually put any effort into it.

That's surely got to be a wind up.

How would that be considered a fuck up?

Buttler to open in the T20 tonight. Makes sense given his form in the IPL and ODI's. I fully expect a first over duck.

I watched and enjoyed the first episode of Kobra Kai too. Can't imagine there's much point to watching it without having seen the original Karate Kid. It's years since I watched it though so I've no idea how it stands up now let alone if it would stand up to a first time viewing. I'd give it a go though since it was great fun back in the day. The first episode of new series where Paul Whitehouse takes Bob Mortimer fishing was pretty good. A bit like a more real Trip. I'd watch anything with Bob Mortimer in though so I'm biased.

Merino seems to want to go because he's not been getting a game. And you can't really blame him for that, but whilst I don't think you could argue Shelvey and Diame deserved to stay in the team in the second half of the season, I do wonder if there was a bit more too it with Merino not even getting on the bench for quite a few games.

Oceans 8. Pony

Unreal performance from Buttler yesterday.

I was thinking Marvel had went very left field for the title of their latest sequel for a moment there.
