Dark Munster

Maybe they're trying to emulate last season, scraping fourth after looking dead and buried? P.S. Is Chris Wood any good? They wheel him out for one day matches and he seems to contribute nothing.

But does he sting like a bee?

Great move! A lot of us were suggesting this, perhaps without thinking it would actually happen. Next is to bring in a proper number two like Rohl, who will have serious day to day and match input, not someone just looking at a screen.

BBC: "We apologise to Manchester United for our ticker saying they are rubbish. We of course meant to say Southampton."

His error today was diabolically bad, but apart from that I thought he had been playing decently since he's come back in recently. With proper coaching I think there's potentially a decent player there. Of course the problem with that is "with proper coaching".

One year RB Leipzig salary <<< two year PL Saints salary. I would like to see Watson, Kelvin and the rest of the jobs-for-the-boys sacked. And then give Ralph a two or three shortlist of a proper number 2, and be told that person will have serious input. He can take it or leave it. And for fun bring back Eric Black for a day so we can sack him again.

Didn't Arsenal once do something similar and had their match replayed? Not that any of us would want this match replayed. Perez would start and get a hat trick, for starters.

9 goals in 14 games against us, including 2 hat tricks. Bastard.

Completely free. No one marking him!!

That would be better but won’t happen (money, money, money).

So if we win 1-0 we'll end up 0 points and +1 GD better for both!

Corrected for you.

We need to dump 10 more shit ones on them to make up for bloody Tommy No-Bale-Sell-On Fourpast, though.

Managed to get the 1 run in the second innings! Well done Hants, more good bowling. If only they had a strong opening pair they would probably be favourites to win the league. I was thinking about the ridiculous situation of teams in Div 1 playing some twice and others only once. I came up with this change, and I was wondering what others think. It's based a bit on what happened last year (which led to an exciting group for the championship), as well as what they do in Scotland in the top division: In Division 1 each team plays an initial 9 matches, once against each of the others. After that, the top 6 go to a mini group and play each other once again (5 matches). All results/points they had against each other previously carry forward, but the results against the bottom 4 do not. Winner wins the championship. Similarly the bottom four play each other again (with only results from those 4 teams carrying over) to determine the 2 relegated teams. Div 2 stays the same as they have 8 teams and play each other twice. The only downside I could think of is that some teams may have had more home (or away) matches to play than others in the carry over split divisions. But this isn't football, so home/away isn't a big issue I think, and they would have played each team in their split group once at home and once away. Certainly better than playing one team once and another twice!

Based on it working away from home WiFi I’m guessing it’s a router thing, and when the router does a firmware update it gets fixed. Hence the “random” timing of the problem going away.

Only works for me if I’m using mobile’s data and not home WiFi network

They'd still hammer us.

Argentinian, initials MP, and great hair. What could possibly go wrong?

Correct, which is why I said it was my guess, and I could be completely wrong. Ralph obviously knew Theo as he was here on loan, and I think Ralph liked him and had a lot of say in him being signed. Adam Leitch also mentioned some time ago that the hierarchy were bending over backwards to keep Ralph happy, so I doubt they'd sign Theo without Ralph being strongly in support.
