Well Bob Dylan just about summed that up back in 64 didn't he.

Depends who they buy with their potentially new found riches. Leicester might finish above Utd this season, doesn't make them a bigger club of course, but results are what count and not how many plastic supporters you have in S.E Asia.

Don't think it ws Panasonic, wasn't it some American ex radar engineer, seem to remember that from my pub quiz participating days.

Well yes and no. France has vast semi-deserted areas where few people live, in those areas there are very few cases of Covid19. Around the major cities the problem is just as bad as anywhere else really. Not to mention the total abandonment of those in Ehpad type care homes, nigh on 7000 deaths in those and counting. It's something like 10200 in hospitals and 7000 in care homes and those figures are nowhere near definitive. Macron and his team of amateurs have failed the old and infirm totally. Perhaps that's just a calculated option though. Going back to the attestation, yes you have to fill it out or use the smartphone option but it doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want, there are 7 very specific reasons for being out of doors and some of them are limited in time and distance from home. For example if you want to go out for a walk or a run it's a maximum of 1 km from home and one hour in total, once a day. You just cannot wander about wherever you want. The gendrmerie caught a couple of dutch lads in the village the other day, sent them packing back to Holland with a massive fine to boot.

Batting would have probably been far too weak to win the CC. Unless of course we've signed a couple when I wasn't paying attention, which has been most of the winter really.

Bet those boots aren't carbon zero either. At least hippies wore rope sandals.

So she's going to give him the 200 odd million back then ? Or just take back control for free.

Well, then he needs to get someone in to make some better investments doesn't he. I mean Elynoussi and Armstrong and all that, it's like calling a tenner on a 200/1 shot in the Derby an investment.

You don't get top class players for the amounts we're spending, thus what we buy isn't good enough. Simple economics really.

Well you can spend hundreds of millions on players and then totlally negate it all by appointing Steve Bruce instead of the decent manager that you already had...

Well perhaps his friends watch Pompey from time to time....always a possibility.

Excellent win from a difficult position after our first innings. Surrey did bat pretty awfully yesterday though, or perhaps we just batted exceptionally well on Wednesday.

Lead now well over 350, sensible crease occupancy this morning whilst keeping the scoreboard turning over. Probably need to bat for another 30 or so overs though.

Not with the way that Fidel is bowling.

149 all out, pretty lamentable for a side that chose to bat first. Guess it doesn't matter really though. I see that Berg has signed for Northants on loan for the rest of this season and on a more permanent deal for the next. Seemed to go downhill (or be out of favour) very fast. Was always a solid value. No Rossouw today, has he gone off to play somewhere else or just isn't available for this game?

Ah, back to the old joke batting again today then. 51/5 so far, then again we were 26/4 before Vince hit a 6 and 2 fours and then got out. Any rumoured comings and goings for next season?

Probably not though, that's a description of about 25% of Saint's fans

Morris injured or just plain dropped?

Hmm. 3 spinners in the side this evening. Hope there's something in the wicket for them, otherwise it could be carnage. Seamers getting hammered anyway, not looking great.

Never seems to stay anywhere for very long, think we're his 4th professional club at the age of 26 (well 26 next week anyway). Obviously loking for something that he'll probably not achieve. Probably needs to knuckle down and accept a bit less lofty goals.

And those that weren't just have to look at the Saints fans end when he scored. Classic day.

Perhaps we have a few fans who live Basingstoke/Newbury way who'd see that as a rivalry. Hasn't really ever been except when we were vying for the Championship title,

Seems to be glut of DMs that no one seems to want overmuch. Then again as long as the French Club Academies keep turning out 20 or so new ones every season you can understand why really.

As it did to them when they beat us 4-1 at St Marys in 2010; We were the League 1 side and they were in the Prem. Pompey-Saints will always be important to any true fan of either club, perhaps it's different for people who aren't originally from either town though, why some of them have never even been to that craphole..

Probably, then again Lemina is not a particularly desirable acquisiton and we're probably asking for too much. Chelsea will no doubt be subsidising Bakayoko and Monaco won't buy him at the end of his loan there.
