@bracecricket Re Jordan Clarke's hair. Might be a 'man bun'?

Arsenal vs Atleti. Darren Fletcher has just said a team can't win the tie in the 1st leg but can certainly lose it. Well, in a 2-horse contest. If one team can lose it, the other must be able to win it. 🤷‍♂️

@backandacross Re last wicket record. It's Surrey's best this century. Sounds more momentous than in past 30 years.

Ella Toone. Substituted 90 mins too late.

[Phil Roberts @philbilljim]

@backandacross Surrey's first innings lead was 198 = 99x2. Neat.

[Phil Roberts @philbilljim]

@backandacross Sad to see that Sinead O'Connor has died. Perhaps her greatest work could be applied to Somerset's wicketkeeping tyro... "Nothing compares to Rew"?

[Phil Roberts @philbilljim]

@backandacross Holy XI. There are bound to be one or two players surplice to requirements. I'll get my coat...

@backandacross An opening partnership of Worrall & Hardie reminds me of the silent movies era!

@dansilver_ Was this no 9? I couldn’t do it

#plusword What sort of word is “unbox”!! I have never used it in my lifetime. Also, no ‘clue’ letter highlighted as being in its correct position in the plusword so thought crossword was incorrect. Apart from that, good effort!

@liam_twomey Chelsea have played twice as many matches this season as Burnley (38 vs 19) #hardworking

@5liveSport Listening to the cricket on 5LiveExtra. Not enjoying Alex Hartley’s commentary: she comes across as immature, a bit chippy & trying too hard to be funny (when she isn’t). When she’s not at the microphone, life improves…

@BenChilwell How @trippier2 started ahead of both you & Luke Shaw is mystifying. Be thankful GS isn’t manager of the Chels!!

[Phil Roberts @philbilljim]

@Danbwfc8 @mitchj88 @MarcIles You’d do well to bring on Chilwell as he wasn’t even on the bench!!

[Phil Roberts @philbilljim]

@trippier2 @EURO2020 @ChrisEriksen8 @England What have you got on Southgate to play ahead of Shaw & Chilwell at LB!!

[Phil Roberts @philbilljim]

Even Trippier’s Twitter handle @trippier2 shows what he thinks is his best position. Shaw & Chilwell must be well p****d off. Just because England won doesn’t make this the right decision. Southgate couldn’t even hack it as the Boro Manager…

[Phil Roberts @philbilljim]

@5liveSport So you have 2 high quality left backs in the squad, one of which has performed fantastically in (& won) the CL Final, & you pick Trippier? GS may be a very dignified man, a super man manager but really!! PS Chilwell not even on the bench…

If ever there was a fraudulent pundit then it’s @RobbieSavage8. But tonight’s comments are inane even by his ill-informed standards!
