I shall cast an amused eye on this until we go two down.

Who cares?

I had a feeling we’d lose Tino, JWP, Lavia and Salisu. Let’s face it if ABK had been fit he’d have gone also and probably still will. I have a feeling that KWP, Adams, Sulemana and Tella may also depart late into the window, and maybe Smallbone as well especially as he and his agent will have a sniff of the Prem. By the international break on 9th Sept we’ll be a very different side. If that sounds a bit melodramatic it’s worth remembering last season and how all bar two contributed two the relegation farce. So unsettling, but interesting times. Think we’ll scrape top half, no better. I first went the Dell as five year old, sixty years this October. I can’t explain it but my levels of disinterest have gone through the ceiling, more so than in the preceding six decades.

Proper banana skin that one. Avoided

Adams he scored!

About as much penetration as a soft porn movie

I’m in a bar full of northern monkeys and a couple of fucking Skates c’mon Saints

Wednesday like a kick

Great finish that

So Saints are not ready for this, will get well beaten and everyone will lose their shit on here. Just a prediction, no substance.

It was a good trip. Good up to Les Arcs, death by a thousand pedal strokes on the Roseland, had to stop 4 times in last 4k, cramp in both legs, but good by the end of the week up the Petit St Bernard

Well that was anticlimactic in the end. I said to my neighbour this morning that Pogacar looked wrecked in the same way Remco looked after the Giro TT before he pulled out with COVID. Writing was on the wall when he didn’t make his home tour in the run up. As for Vingegaard he’s possibly the best rider out there at the moment. 59kg and a huge VO2 max, there’ll be more where that came from in the future.

After all, there is only one team in Hampshire.

Forgot to type the h on the end

Pog and Vinegaard continuing to take lumps out of each other today, What a pull by Adam Yates up that last climb btw. Did a couple of bits of Stage 17 last week. Down the Cormet de Roseland. 20km downhill, it's really brisk at the top and in the middle its the only time I've been pedalling at around 65kmph, god knows what speeds they'll hit. We also did the Cat 2 Cote de Longefoy. Its at the start of the climb to La Plagne (Its Stephen Roche! It's Stephen Roche!!) turning right instead of following to the left. Around 7km at 7.7%, its not nice. Saw the Jumbos not at the TdF descending, don't know if Primoz was amongst them as they were travelling like shit off a shovel in aero tucks.

So with all the pessimism for the coming season on here it looks like Martin will be out by Xmas and well be in League 1 next season.

Troll or complete dick?

Lived in Breamore when in my teens. Went to Burgate 71-74.

There you go. I'm in Winnersh, I know there's someone in Hurst who's a Saints fan and have come across a couple of entire families in Bracknell.

Can I be a Saints fan? I’m in Wokingham.

Going to be a long, slow day in the peloton by the looks of it.

Didn’t have enough money for Coutts, offered Nat West account, but decided to go down the misinformation route and play the victim. He is a cunt.

Its been a fun start to it. The Pays y Basque has done the Grand Depart proud. Could be Cav's opportunity tomorrow into Bayonne but gut feeling is that Jakobsen and Philipsen may have more. Off to Stage 17 territory on Friday. A week just outside Bourg St Maurice, so its the Petit St Bernard, Les Arcs, Tignes and possibly the Iseran but not sure about 65 year old legs.

Renshaw on Astana team advising Cav, so every chance. Rarely moved to tears but might struggle if he breaks the record.
