Gloucester Saint

To be expected https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/middlesbrough-children-lagging-behind-gcse-25472725

If you’ve ever been there, you’ll know how close to mark that is. They’ll remain bitter until the next tranche of levelling up money. And then still moan.

He’s crap, certainly at 3. Lost his way, needs to bat at 6 but contributing 40+ there or can make up the numbers at Derbyshire or somewhere. The adults are in now, needs to be a hefty partnership.

Best ignored today and next time you see him we’ll have beaten them so get those bins out. I’d be bitter and twisted if I came from Middlesbrough (complete with teeth as bad as their reading and writing). They make Portsmouth folk sound and look like Nobel prize winning by comparison, if you’ve ever been there. Air is filthy as well.

‘Looking for badgers’ 🦡

Yusuf is a waste of a shirt, no quicker than Wheal or Jack, arguably slower, goes for 4 per over and very few wickets. Doesn’t score late over runs and fielding so so. Pedigree good but the reality not. Quality overseas opener would be more helpful.

Saints supporters now on their way home, leaving Middlesbrough behind. Just as the rest of the country has done really.

Whilst I switch focus to Hornchurch v Torquay, all other Saints fans can take a break now from all that tension. Bond films usually do the trick

He needs to slag himself off after that 45 minutes.

No chance of getting invaded by small boats up there. Eritrea would be lovely compared to Middlesbrough.

As per normal, steeped in Russball.

Same caterers as the Spurs lasagne.

It was you!!

Peretz and THB v 11 of Boro. Any chance the other 9 can pull their finger out?

Lots of heavily tattooed fat people with missing teeth. Like Portsmouth but less intelligible.

Only thing Saints will be curling home during this first half.

More likely they had a spy at Staplewood at the moment.

Very isolated tbf. Midfield dreadful and Wood has been a liability (as usual). Amazed it’s 0-0.

The best I can see is get to HT 0-0 and make 2-3 changes to liven them up.

Not got going at all.

Good start, need to break this partnership now. Was James Fuller injured before this?

Parts like everywhere else but nice bits like the Quays. I live in Gloucestershire not actually in the city of Gloucester.

Neither Sunderland or Newcastle care about the Smoggies. Nor do Leeds despite Boro trying to manufacture a rivalry. Shit town, shit club. £40m in levelling up money pissed up the wall as well https://www.gov.uk/government/news/40-million-to-accelerate-teesside-regeneration Pointless putting lipstick on a pig.

Leo will give plenty if he scores as well.

The issue being most of those batters were garbage last season as well bar Dawson. Lehmann is a good player but him and more recently Brown are looking like Bradman and Gilchrist by comparison to the Southern Premier filler around them. Need couple quick wickets this morning to get into their middle order before the ball goes soft and sunshine dries the wicket slightly.
