BHA definitely been the more cohesive team in the 1st half. Fernandes has generally had a poor game (giving the ball away a few times, conceding a pen, getting booked) but has whipped in a couple of very nice inswingers from the left (including for the equaliser). Pogba not done much and De Gea stil...

She was right the first time. As a side note. I love putting the subtitles on live news broadcasts. Some of the typos brighten up even the most depressing news. I became pretty deaf quite a few years ago and started using subtitles from necessity. Now, though, I find it very entertaining on many oc...

I love watching these clubs who think it is clever to pass it out from the keeper, and then cock it up. Why do they do it? There's nearly always one (or even two) weak links in the back players re ball control/passing ability. Yet, somehow, these teams still want to do this. I wonder if an analysis...

22 points for Son today. 18 for Kane. Anybody with both has had a bumper day so far. Spurs didnt look to special for most of the first half but with Moura/Kane/Son always looked likely they'd score a few irrespective of general play. Saints playing a high line and speedy players moving onto decent ...

James (Rodriguez) ran into Gibbs fairly gently after the ball had gone and Gibbs reacted by putting hand(s) to face. Needless to say, James went down like a sack of spuds to make sure the indiscretion was seen. Stupid red card for an experienced player. Gibbs had plenty of time to get some more disc...

It's a good channel. I got it when I got Virgin cable way back. Initially they had 2 channels, one was more "high brow" (opera, classical music, visual arts etc) the other more "popular" (quality end of IMO). A few years ago they cut the channels to one which now is mixed. I'm not much interested in...

Bayern M have already got 8 German championships on the trot and will very likely make it 9 this season (and probably then 10). It's becoming a one horse race on a par with Scotland (9 in a row now for Celtic but Rangers closing the gap latterly at least).

Alex Scott is v knowledgeable about sport, articulate and presents herself well. Whether the BBC is correct to replace SB with her on this programme is yet to be seen- we need to see how (if) the viewing ratings move.

"Are the BBC employing more managers? I thought they'd cut them, if anything." 253 senior managers, up from 250 the previous year. Total headcount up from 19,231 to 19,572.

A very decent score in the end, especially after that start.
A couple of early Oz wickets would help a lot but I'd say we are favourites now with it (hopefully) getting harder to bat on that pitch.
Well done to Johnny B and C Woakes especially but a good overall team comeback after 0-2.

There's been quite a bit of controversy at the Beeb re women's pay being a lot less than men's pay, they've had to rectify that to some degree (or make it look like they've rectified it).

Pivotal moment in our history. Nobody would have the choice to complain about anything today if we hadn’t won. Most of the people complaining wouldn’t be here either.
