None of them are spinners, therefore the wicket must be perfectly acceptable

I think a lot of the stick he gets is unwarranted, but at the same time I would still like to see us sign another centre-back (preferably one with pace as well as a bit of muscle, as that's where we were caught out at Leicester). If that new signing is currently a better player than Seaborne, he gets in the team ahead of him. Seaborne will get his chance with injuries, suspensions, sensible squad rotation, etc. He's still young, so has plenty of time to improve and gain experience.

Lallana's captain tonight.

I now have the Samsung Galaxy S2, which is the dog's ********. Got bored of my Blackberry in the end.

Tomorrow's game at Taunton should be quite interesting, I'd almost give us a chance now that Trescothick's out injured.

Katich would be a massive coup for us, particularly in the second division. Utterly baffling decision by Cricket Australia to not renew his central contract I reckon Cork will have one more year back at his home county of Derbyshire. Their CEO was quoted a few months back saying they were looking for a marquee signing for next year (they held discussions with Paul Collingwood before he signed a new deal at Durham), so wouldn't surprise me to see Cork as that signing.

Not true. When he arrived at the club, it was a knee injury that kept him out for the first 4-6 weeks, but that cleared up as expected. It was his back, in what I believe was a completely separate problem (although it's not unheard-of for a leg injury to cause future problems with the back), which caused him to miss most of the next 2 years or so.

It was peacey. The club used to use Nightingale Surgery in Romsey, where Drs Peace and Warner were the club's doctors on a part-time basis. I'm led to believe this partnership ended a year or so ago as the club wanted to employ a doctor full-time, and the money involved was nowhere near what a GP would earn as a practice partner (as both those doctors are). No idea whether SFC actually managed to recruit someone into that role full-time or not.

Yeah, we won't be having your political propaganda nonsense on this board, cheers.

The Bristol City v Swindon game in the first round was postponed due to the looting ****s in Bristol. That game is being played on Tuesday, and we travel to the winners. Not 100% sure when that game will be arranged for, though. It's a two-week international break immediately after the Leicester game.

I think you can get 1 and 2 in HD on Virgin (and possibly BT Vision), but not the others.

For whoever it was that found that CCJ at Northampton County Court, did the listing show who had made the claim against the club? On a slightly more general note, is it possible to find a list of CCJs dished out by a court on a particular day?

That'll be 400/7 then

Troughton gone second ball of the morning, 96/5

Without knowing what their setup is, I've no idea, to be honest.

I think it possibly demonstrates more that if you want to win games you have to sign players who are going to create and score goals. Their front line of Vassell and Nugent isn't going to scare any defence in this division, to be honest. Their defence looks strong on paper, but then you also have to bear in mind that Leeds fans and management weren't that bothered about Schmeichel going, having had the second-worst defensive record last season.

And given that Pardew is ex-Palace (and in fact scored a goal to take Palace to an FA Cup final, so quite a prominent player for them), you'd have thought they'd automatically hate him.

Bless him, he's worked out that 7 of the starting 11 (and 8 of the 16) were Pardew signings and is clearly stuck in some sort of time warp where he thinks that Pardew was sacked last week rather than last year, thus not giving Adkins the time to instill his own methods and tactics into the team

Many fair comments there, interlaced with a few absolutely nuts ones.

One thing to look out for on the first goal, Dan Harding getting taken out by the ref... disgraceful challenge

They were right as well

He did. Nothing more than a manager who refers to himself in the third person.

I always think it's difficult to outplay your opposition while only putting in an average performance. Leeds were crap from start to finish, in mitigation they had nothing up front and their defence was crap last season as well, but we played well. Barnsley picked the wrong system, I think, as shown by the improvement they showed when they brought Noble-Lazarus and Vaz Te off the bench, but they've still not actually scored a goal of their own yet in 4 games (their opener against Boro last night was an own goal), so they'll probably struggle. I actually thought Ipswich played quite well for most of the game, created plenty of chances and on another day might have had 4 goals themselves, but we were clinical when we needed to be and attacking them on the break caused them no end of problems at the back.

Clearly you're not responsible for the outstanding balance from the previous tenancy, and it shouldn't be the responsibility of the landlord either, unless the account is in his or her name, which if it is, is pretty stupid of them. Each time new tenants move into the property, they should be getting the utility companies to open a new account so it's easier to trace this sort of situation. Whatever you do, do not let any bailiffs etc into the property. They have no right to enter when the tenant responsible for the money no longer lives there.
