Window Cleaner

And the "signing on fee". Cheaper the transfer the more they expect. No such thing as a free transfer, well not unless the signee is totally crap anyway.

Handy point, keeps us top..

Nah, did that all last week. Now suffering from acute sunburn.:)

Ah flute, really that bad eh !!

True. Bit of a bogey team for us with Wheater and Bopara always turning in decent performances against us.

Ironically Wood is the least expensive of our bowlers so far. Gone for just 45 off 9 overs.

Hah Bopara in now, he's another bugger who's got a few handy scores against us from time to time.

If our top order doesn't panic. Still Amla and Rossouw are in fair nick and may well give us a good start.

Never mind it was a rhetorical question anyway. Pîssed off with him taking us to the cleaners every bloody time we play them. Now 66 not out from a total of 120ish from 20 overs. Looking at the openers we have, you have to think we got this one totally wrong.

I have absolutely no idea. To sell to grockles I suspect.

3rd kit, probably only wear it a couple of times anyway. I like this season's shirt, see no reason to change it apart from greed.

Guess we're short of back-up bowlers. I see that Wheater is digging in and hitting out yet again. Have we ever got him out cheaply since he defected to Essex?

Bowling line up lacking Edwards,Topley and Abbott today. Wheal and Wood opening the bowling. Mind you Edwards and Topley went for a fair few runs on monday so it may not make much diifference.

Obviously because between staying at Fulham eventually in the PL and signing for Saints there would be very little contest.

The golden days of the academy seem to be behind us. Then again the structure is completely different I believe.

Bit of a wobble at the end but all in all a good result.

Looks like it's going to be a difficult run chase (unless it gets rained off). Bowlers got roundly smashed most of the time and 263 from 44 overs looks like a major ask.

Because no doubt those games were full of blokes buzzing around like headless flies kicking the crap out of each other. Boufal is a good player in a type of football which suits him. He'd probably be OK in Spain or Italy. Talented footballers who haven't made it in the Uk are legion.

Absolutely.

Why oh why can our top order never maintain a solid start? Weatherley,Adams and Vince all got a solid start and then got out without moving on to the type of score they should be getting..

Taunton today. Good to see Crane and Berg back in the group. Dawson out injured I believe and Wood has either been dropped or is injured. Still no Holland.

But Stoke also scored 2, and it was at the Etihad.

Did the club even put out an official great escape T shirt this time ?

Isn't Silva going to replace Allardyce at Everton ? Perhaps just a press rumour.

Probably because the FA have clamped down on rough play just a bit. I mean Shawcross with only 2 yellows in a whole season, that must cramp his style somewhat.
