No, he's too busy posting his latest BS thread

He's at it again : http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=23089 Believe me though you don't want to click on the link, I just wish someone would throttle the irritating little oik and that's putting it politely Chris

Hahaha, thanks guys. Get in there Nice winner in Miss Keck Frankie, bad luck kipper. Chris

Three tortoises, Mick, Alan and Les, decide to go on a picnic. So Mick packs the picnic basket with beer and sandwiches. The trouble is the picnic site is ten miles away so it takes them ten days to get there. When they get there Mick unpacks the food and beer. 'Ok Les give me the bottle opener.' 'I didn't bring it,' says Les. 'I thought you packed it.' Mick gets worried, He turns to Alan, 'Did you bring the bottle opener??' Naturally Alan didn't bring it. So they're stuck ten miles from home without a bottle opener. Mick and Alan beg Les to go back for it, but he refuses as he says they will eat all the sandwiches. After two hours, and after they have sworn on their tortoise lives that they will not eat the sandwiches, he finally agrees. So Les sets off down the road at a steady pace. Twenty days pass and he still isn't back and Mick and Alan starving, but a promise is a promise. Another five days and he still isn't back, but a promise is a promise. Finally they can't take it any longer so they take out a Sandwich each, and just as they are about to eat it, Les pops Up from behind a rock and shouts.......... 'I KNEW IT.....I'M NOT BLOODY WELL GOING!'

Stupified...

I'm not so sure, Hannon's Major Dude wasn't called the winner in the 1st race, Perfect Pastime was. That was the whole point

Nope, that isn't how it reads TBH kipwit

Hughes/Hannon win 2nd race, that much is sure !

Now I'm even more confused, isn't Perfect Pastime who was 2nd trained by Walter Swinburn :smt102 Chris

Only shows 2nd downwards on ATR and Major Dude 7th on there. However, I reckon Oddschecker have got it right 1st Major Dude 8/11 F 1st Perfect Pastime 16/1 2nd Miss Moneypenni 33/1 Edit Major Dude now shown as 1st on ATR. However, shows Major Dude as being 1/2 length down though on which horse I don't know lol Utter chaos

Major Dude the easy winner at 8/11.

Apparently all teams must play a training game "which complies with FIFA rules about teams holding one open session for the public." Pretty much no limit on substitutions and Capello was free to stop the game if he was worried about further injuries. After one minute might have been a good plan !

No caps awarded for this game.

Yes, I had noticed you had noticed Red Twist was 2nd to Five Out of Five which went off at a crazy price of 8/11 as did Lady Pilot ( 5/6) who ran a stinker so not sure what reason they'll give this time ! Good luck tonight even though you have managed to oppose all 3 of my selections ! Still Crazy Chris is my banker ! Chris

It's still dry here as well which makes it even worse!

Can't really sit here and judge who should or should not bowl. Kaneria took 1/100 in our 2nd innings and he is a quality spinner which suggests there was more in the pitch for the seamers. Essex would not have attacked from 16/4 anyway.

Arrghhhhhhhh, this is so typical of our season. Lucky, lucky Essex

Ok, it will definitely rain now !

As the rain gets set to hit Southampton and scupper the cricket !

Thanks

328 off 78 overs means Essex would almost have to double their 1st innings run rate so they would indeed deserve to win. They have got players like Napier and ten Doeschate so I guess it depends on how ambitous they want to be.

311/7 declared. Essex need 328 but rain will probably scupper any chances of a result if it duly arrives.

295/7, still batting and no sign of Cork or Balcombe swinging the bat !

I would have thought 300 was plenty but given Pothas and Cork have put on 90 now I'm not so sure. 295 the lead at present, 320 lead and declare ?
