Vince got 2 good scores for Hants against Notts, he'd probably get a golden duck next game anyway;) Donald and Weatherley to open, Northeast, Alsop, Rossouw etc. Only need a draw anyway. Worcs is the game to win.

Well he might be partly right here. Bloke was a nut job apparently, dopehead as well but could be "radicalised". Now for me anyone who is overly influenced by religion in their general comportment is a nut job anyway. The French authorities always blame "desequilibrés" anyway. Overly influenced meaning doing stuff like killing your mum and sister because of religion.

Nah just another family dispute. Over what I couldn't say.

Great ain't it. A win and 2 draws would probably see us cement our Div 1 status for another season. Lancs look in real trouble now, what a difference 6 runs can make.

Interesting round of matches this one. Could leave the lower half of the table in an interesting state. Hants look as if they may beat Notts, we've shifted 2 already today. Worcs have beaten Yorks gaining maximum points against Yorkshire's one. Lancs -Surrey could still go either way but you'd have to give Lancs the benefit of the doubt there. Just needs Essex to collapse (probably won't happen) to leave 4th-8th with just a handful of points difference.

Were the Fat Slags in Viz as well ?

Well yes but the managers still pick Hoedt seemingly. As I've said they're really all much of a muchness apart from Vestergaard who's not been here long enough to know about.

Doesn't he do the saints ratings any more? If so wouldn't those for Hoedt be better than those for Yoshida?

And I presume these are some sort of fantasy football ratings ?

And yet he's played all of both games this season and 30 odd games last season. So what's being said here is that the managers don't know what they're doing right? I blame fantasy football myself, fans become imbibed with their own opinions.

Because they're all average and placing them in a hypothetical pecking order is pointless. The manager picks whoever he thinks is best for the job in hand on the day and our opinion makes no difference.

Doesn't really matter, none of them would be good enough for a Top 6 side anyway. They all have good days and bad days.

I see we've signed a young batsman from Glamorgan for the rest of this season and the 2 seasons after. An opener ?

Pretty good day for Hants. 364 ahead with 6 wickets in hand. Should be able to set them well over 400 at sometime between lunch and tea tomorrow. Just one concern. Steyn broke down mid over this morning so we'll probably be a bowler short tomorrow.

His dad wasn't much better.

You could be right there. We know far too much stuff that we really don't need to know, even without actively seeking it. Could be down to daytime news TV as well. So many stations seeking content to be able to sell advertising. Most of it for stuff that no one really needs.

But to be fair it's not just Britain is it. Half the world is in a sad state. Can't say what you think anywhere for fear of upsetting some daisy or other and the complainers have often more to hide than those they're complaining about. It's very odd for those of us who grew up in much simpler times.

I've called people jerks before, but they were so that's OK then.;)

Fidel on fire....... Just hope we can prevent them getting a big lower order partnership somewhere down the line.

Pessimistic eh. Let's see what happens in this game. Dawson and Abbott have at least given us something to bowl at with 2 bonus points to boot. Notts are already 22/2, usually means nothing but we might not be too bad here.

Richarlison was the only Everton player on the field today that didn't play for them last season I believe. They may have spent a lot of money lately but like us they haven't got it onto the pitch yet. In fact at least some of Saints signings have played at least 1 game so far.

Indeed, I thought we were lucky to finish the game with 11 players. Alehouse football in the first half. Better in the 2nd but Everton lost their compusure when Morgan went off, Davies has no discipline, rushes about like a blue arsed fly and we exploited that quite well.

But we have, now let me see, 5 centre backs. Quantity over quality I suppose.

How can it be lack of quality after we spent a shedload again this summer? It's lack of motivation that's the problem.

Well yes, all I remember about the place was getting a flat tyre. Italy is a mess, caused by years and years of austerity and corruption so I expect they'll get by somehow.
