  1. excellent cricket. Even Compton played well for his 29 I think, I'm sure he'd love a 50 plus score this tour, to help his case but I'm agreeing with/deferring to the superior opinion of Boycs in that he's got the right attitude and application, just seemed to catch a particularly good ball.
  2. Would like to see him go in holiday for year whilst applying for higher status jobs.
  3. Yeah i figured. I think he's apparently been a dick on set. Also the 4th season was supposed to start last month but it got held back so I guess its toast. edited for appalling spelling.
  4. I disagree ive loved this season. Ray Stevenson is a great baddie. I think there has bern a notable stretching of credibility in the fallout to the end of season 6, but not at the expense of enjoyment.
  5. Gosh, Dexter continues to excel. This season is ridiculous.
  6. Hidden is a superb film and is enhanced if youre aware of frances struggle with acknowledging the algerian war and the massacre of oct 1961
  7. would you shit in a policeman's helmet? first day of new job today after too long being bored and unemployed. Yay. Off to celebrate with a four pack of EXCELSIOR. Lidls finest
  8. All set up nicely for a final showdown! Hamilton grabbing 1st means it is exciting enough. A 20 point lead would have been enough i suspect for vettel but at 13 i think there is potential for last day drama and brazil is good for that. US circuit was a big success i thought too, which is good for the sport.
  9. Agreed. Its a quintillion times better than QoS! Ok slight delay in response to stevo prev page
  10. ferrari broke seal on massa gearbox to give him a 5 grid penalty and move alonso up to 7th and on the better side of the track. Understandable tbh, though apparently red bull toyed with the idea of doing it with webber too to put alonso back on the clean side which would have been a bit amusing I suppose.
  11. In fairness plenty of experts thought panesar should have played too. I think the 'loyalty' to some players definitely has its weaknesses in terms of flexibility. Could drop Broad too tbf, but that isnt happening. Was a little gutted compton couldnt make a 50 at least thpugh. I like him and its been as tough a debut innings as you can have here, but nevermind. Tomorrow could be very fascinating - or all over by noon
  12. made the close of play on 168 not out with prior 84 not out either. Terrific patient efforts from the both, putting the wobbly middle lot to shame. Still, likely to lose, but a good fightback nonetheless, could sneak a draw if these two can continue together until lunch tomorrow though that would be quite an ask.
  13. Am looking forward to seeing how this first corner plays out - with the grip discrepancy on side of the grid and that camber ( ) could be messy. Vettel so dominant tbf, will deserve the title I suppose [curmurdgeon mode on]
  14. Alisdair Cook 157 not out and hopefully counting. Without him we'd be up that decidedly smelly creek without so much of an instrument of propulsion, Prior providing able support too. So badly need to play Monty next test though. Ideally ( given Bell is missing test 2 anyway ) drop Bresnan/Broad and Patel and replace with Finn ( for genuine pace) and Panesar. And then bring in Bairstow rather than Morgan for Bell.

    Relegation

    We're still above three sides and we've just played united and city. Of course the games against Reading and Stoke coming up are important and big games but I am confident we will be fine.
  16. but crucially but not definitely out of the cl yet. they will have to go for it, i think there would be pressure on mancini if he gave up whilst there was still a chance.
  17. really? I can't say I've followed them too much, but I thought they were taken over by some chaps ( hence why they were able to get into the CL in the first place? Did they bugger off or was I wrong?
  18. Malaga? the rich spanish club in the champions league yeah, I think not.
  19. Quite simply out of this world that 4th goal. Hats off all round! Elsewhere Joe Hart was pretty shit. And england suffered with all the subs!
  20. Im close to finally being on schedule with dexter after catching up for months. Fantastic show imo.Very consistent although S3 is merely only very good. Still great stuff!
