There's a predicted 11 million £ difference between 8th and 13th I think.

Seems it's a lot of things if you believe the meedjah. Transfers and agent activities are also being cited. Now over the buying and selling of Payet from and to those dubious folk around the OM I could well believe that. The OM is a three ringed circus and anyone who has any dealings with them will probably come out of it smelling of shîte.

Ah well, still a good start to the season though. A win and two nearly wins. Makes a change from hoping for rain to save us as at times last season.

Imagine that were just waiting for Ballance to make his highest first class score (211) and then we'll wrap it up as a draw.

We'll see but right now the match seems to be slipping away again, same as last Monday really. Or maybe not, got that elusive first wicket of the day, unfortunately it's not Ballance.

We will not be in the Europa League next season....

Looks like we need a couple of quickish wickets this morning. Otherwise Ballance will have succeeded in preventing Hants from winning again all by himself.

Berg on fire today, 99 not out and now 3 for 19...

Still chronically slow going for Hant's tail end. Wondering if scoring 3 runs every 2 overs is really getting us any advantage. Would we not be better to have a swing, get what we get and then let our pacemen get at them.

Could it be that the wicket isn't any too easy this morning? I mean you'd not think that getting 70ish from about 25 overs would be any too hard would you, but it seems that we got pinned down by some pretty tidy bowling this morning. We'll see what happens when Abbott and Topley get at it eh.

It says that Manchester United isn't for everyone. Horrible club that ruins far more players than it improves.

Vince will eventually find form, he'll not be the first young player to be weighed down by captaincy. However his international failures won't have done him any good.

Looks like some solid batting from Hants, except for Vince of course but as I actually expect very little from him now I guess we can pass on that.

We're not good enough I'd guess. Seems to me that we're always missing a kick arse striker or a goal scoring midfielder. When we have the one we don't usually have the other.

Football is played on a patch of grass of about 100 yards by 50 yards. It's not played in accounts books, balance sheets or marketing data.

Nowhere near good enough for PSG. They've learnt their lesson with Ben Arfa.

Tottenham punching above their weight? They have one of the best sides in the PL, probably the best manager and probably the 2nd richest owner. How is that punching above their weight?

Long needs to be putting on his not being offside boots more than anything else.

Saints won't be in Europe next season..count on it. Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, City, Utd and Arsenal will be, Everton will be if Leicester don't win the CL and Leicester will be if they do.

Well in the immortal words of Proust (not Marcel, his third cousin, once removed, René) "If it sounds like bolloaks then it probably is".

I don't know, perhaps he has a magical agent. After all someone persuaded us to buy the permanent sicknote didn't they ?

After our first innings you mean. Getting 320 in 2 full days was always realisable.

Yes, nailed it, great start to the season.

So 320 to win in 2 days then, someone tell Vince that he doesn't need to get them all in the first over...

In fact it looks like same old,same old.Good start,had them at 152/7, the long tail wag gives them a reasonable total and then Adams and Vince fail with the bat early on exposing the middle order long before it should be exposed.
