Dark Munster

You've just come out of a time machine and posted this 100 years in the future, right?

Welcome to the nutjob clan. Only 6402 more posts and you'll be up there with Lord Trousers. Actually, by that time you'll need a few thousand more to keep up. Talking of which... Steady on, old chap. Let's not get carried away. If relegation is out of the question, I'll also go along with the heartbreaking playoff loss. Forget semi-finals, a penalty shoot out failure in the final would be suitably agonising I think, as well as keeping this epic thread humming along nicely.

dublinroo: Ah, Southampton. Everyone loves Southampton. With their successful youth system and their attacking football and their ability to replace big money leavers and remain successful on their terms and their extremely verbose but unfailingly polite posters on here. Sickeningly nice. Even I like them. Bastards.

How about a straight swap, JWP for Leon G? Then we'll be amazed and they'll be amazed. A win-win.

Yes, misleading and annoying.

By not withdrawing his fast bowler he knew the match would be abandoned, so it was his choice. Given what happened last year, it is almost certain Glamorgan will be docked at least 2 points (either this season or next), and possibly will still forfeit this match (if there's any justice). So he may look back and regret his decision.

Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph said: "I think it's the right decision (to abandon the match), I would have kept bowling Hoges because I needed to keep taking wickets." So it appears he chose for the match to be abandoned to salvage the point. Can't blame him I suppose, but he shouldn't get away with it. "The pitch did become too dangerous but no reason why we shouldn't get 2 points from that game, Duckworth Lewis at that stage was 9 for 0." - James Vince "Hopefully common sense prevails and we get the 2 points with the position we were in. Let's wait and see." - Liam Dawson

That's a bit harsh. We can call him Dick maybe, but calling him a **** is taking it a bit far. Unless he does a Lovren of course.

Agreed, one point each is not fair. Is this set in stone, or can the cricket board still award Hants the win? A 2 point deduction for Glamorgan next season isn't much use for Hants.

Have to agree. The game against Vitesse was a perfect example: he caused havoc down the middle, but became anonymous when moved out wide later in the second half

I'm impressed with the Vitesse player Smipe. He's all over the pitch.

Yes indeed, I was very impressed. I would never have guessed that he's Dutch.

Mind you, the Skates must be spinning in their graves.

Highest position from points mostly gained when FF was playing. Compare the stats when FF played and when he was out.

His partner Calum ****ing Davenport was even more abject. In fact he took abjectivity to a whole new level.

Yes, but don't hold your breath. Last season we also needed cover, but Saints in their infinite wisdom felt KD/PG were adequate cover (or believed FF wouldn't get injured).

Sigh. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?53873-Summer-2015-Hcdajfu-thread

Hi nosaint, I think you'll find Ludwick was just joking. His dry British humour got lost in translation, it appears. You're right though, this is a funny forum.

AgreED

With the spine of our defence gone (MS, NC, TA and FF) I'm surprised some are predicting we'll finish as high, or higher, than last year.

Weren't you banned? Anyway, here's a new avatar for you.

This. Especially regarding who is going to be brought in to replace Toby.
