Some people might think that this result may be due in part to the Australian players preparing by playing Sheffield Shield in advance of the test. I couldn't possibly comment. #ASHES

Does anyone think that TNT will make up for the lack of action on Days 3,4 and 5 of this test, by showing the test again, in its entirety? #ASHES

Woke up at 2 a.m. and read that England had won the toss and would bat. Went back to bed. Woke up at 7 a.m. to hear Brydon Carse running in to bowl. FFS #Ashes

3 out of 4 already. Only play one more of these 6 before Christmas though #LUFC
Thought pre-season that if we could win 6 of our 12 matches v Burnley, Sunderland, Wolves, West Ham, Everton and Brentford, we'd stay up. 2 out of 2 already. 4 out of the remaining 10 is achievable #LUFC
