Yeah, I think that's Terry.

Couldn't care less about how good they are. In fact most of them are brilliant, it's just sad to have a team packed with them,. It's not the quality that concerns me. If this is the future of Hampshire, forget it. We may even win the Championship with this team, and I can't believe I'm saying this after 37 years of supporting them...but I wouldn't care less.

Pathetic performance. Pathetic crowd. Team stuffed with Kolpacks. No thanks.

Guys this just paper talk. Designed at unsettling the player. Nothing to see here.

This guys called ScepticalStan. Hope Stan wasn't around the season Lawrie took us down

Considering who the Premier League have allowed to pass through the 'Fit & Proper Persons' test...then you have to wonder how bad this guy is.

That pitch may be our downfall. I think it's 56 wickets in 8 days. Got to get Crane in over Topley.

Wow that gives us potentially 7 non English players in our starting 11. That's pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, can't see Hampshire trying to chase more than 165

Ok..I'll amend it...As far as the club is concerned something is wrong.

You've nailed it there. People say "why are we letting players go?' but don't seem to understand that's our model to survive and not become a Leeds, Forest, Sheffield, Villa If VVD's still here in two years then somethings gone wrong.

Yeah, you're first line was 'surprised people haven't been more discontent with this' You probably answered your own question there.

If you don't like the answers, don't ask the question. Sounds like you just wanted people to agree with you

Too be fair , Leicester themselves thought they were going down, hence sacking championship winning manager Ranieri.

Going round the cricket message boards, we are despised by fans of every county for fielding 6 overseas players. We are essentially the Millwall of The County Championship. I've supported Hampshire 38 years and the quite appeals to me!

Follow on beckons, actually if I was Yorksire I wouldn't bother enforcing it.

I only need 22 & 43 and I've got a full house.

And we're off!. Will we make it to day 3?

Sorry, but this is just unsubstantiated paper talk designed to unsettle the player. he's going nowhere.

Yeah, I suppose. I guess the point I was making was the basic hypocrisy at the heart of every fan at every club (including myself I might add) If a player performs well but maybe is not happy with the club , we still expect him to be loyal. If the fans are not happy with a player then they chuck him in the "Who should we ship out in the summer' thread, irrespective if the player wants to stay or not. The fans obviously stay loyal to the club...but possibly not the player.

Not quite the point I was making..but well done mate. Although being called Dellman you've almost got to stay loyal!

I love that that some fans on her talk about loyalty...and the thread below this one is "Who should we ship out in the summer?" Keep up irony fans!

That's no way to speak about your wife,

Is it fair to assume we will never see him play again in a Saints shirt?

Top marks for effort. Have you actually tried singing the chorus bit out loud?...to say it doesn't really work would be an understatement of massive proportions
