Lol! Love the irony of this tweet...glad you haven't lost your sense of humour through tough times prior to, and since, the last time you tweeted this. Very pleased for you and all Charlton fans it's finally happened. Let the good times roll. All the best.

Surely the club's salaries are still above the cap this year if they were above it last year? Unless all their players signed new contracts in the summer?

Interesting Aribo 's 1st 45 mins in an Old Firm derby. Touched ball 15 times. Lost possession 4 times. Every pass but one backwards. Didn't touch it at all in first five mins. 13-23 mins (one touch). 29-40 (2 charge downs). Booed for losing a 60/40 in his favour. @stuartmrswans

Solution. Remove on-field umpires so that every decision is correct, not just about who reviewed and whether any reviews are left.

@SurreySptClive If Australia hadn't reviewed that one on Leach that was nowhere near out, they'd have won the game. Zero sympathy

Sky's coverage is brilliant. The BBC would probably have switched to a re-run of Songs of Praise. Like when they didn't cover an Open to its conclusion one year because it went to a Monday and would have disrupted their schedule.

I wonder if that was the most dramatic moment involving a national team in one of our biggest sports not to be shown live on free to air TV. I’m struggling to think of anything to match it, but to be fair the thought has just come to me. #TheAshes

Ben Stokes. A gift to all those coaches in sport who insist there's no 'I' in team. #Ashes2019

I'm pleased we've finally worked out how to bowl Australia out. Knock out Steve Smith and in the next Test make them bat in the dark. #ENGvsAUS

@TimMarcus22 It's the mentality of players these days. They want to smash it and entertain when being boring would have done the job. But probably today's paying customers wouldn't enjoy being bored by a Boycott or Tavare. And the authorities want punters. So we lose instead.

@SurreySptClive I think anyone who follows Surrey will tell you Roy is not a red ball opener. Bring in Sibley, drop Roy down to four, give the gloves to Foakes and drop Denly along with either Bairstow or Buttler. And maybe bringing Sam Curran in for Anderson would strengthen the batting too

I don't pretend to understand the nuances of Test cricket but surely if you are trying to save a match and you can't win, but need to stay in bat all day to draw, you don't come bounding down the track to try and smash the ball out of the ground and get bowled. #ashes2019 #roy
