Lighthouse

Just watching the Blast QFs and two things strike me: It’s absurd having such a big gap between the group games and the knockout, especially when you have overseas players who only come in for this tournament. Another all Southern finals day. Not sure what it is about this competition.

Or making products which are just a quirky misspelling of what they actually are. No, I don’t want to buy a Kolyndà to drain my steamed vegetables.

There was a medium sized airliner which crashed in Staines in the seventies, right next to the A30. Police said that rescue efforts were hampered by drivers slowing down to look as they drove past. TBF you probably would.

The way announcements are coming out, I think it’s going to be quite telling who doesn’t have a new contract this week.

Some of them would but touts would absolutely hoover them but before many average fans could get their hands on one, then sell them on at probably around £90 themselves. Put it this way, if someone told you they’d bought an Oasis ticket for £90 you wouldn’t batter an eyelid.

For a one off against a decent European team, maybe I don’t know. Plenty would though, we’d easily sell out St Mary’s.

The CL is a brand. People will pay £90 for a ticket with ‘Champions League’ written on it, same as they’d pay £90 for a T-shirt with Boss on the front.

Liverpool are in the CL every season. Villa might not make it again for another 25 years. Any tickets they sell for less than these kind of prices would just be hoovered up by scalpers and sold on with a big mark up anyway, so it makes no difference.

It won’t be a joke if people pay them. I’d bet on all their games selling out, even at that price. They’re less than an England cricket match at the Rose Bowl and the CL is once in a generation stuff for Villa fans.

No, he can carry on training and get his gent to sort something better out in January.

You know what, I fully agree. You are clearly a far, far superior wit and intellect to any of the druids on here. So much so that it’s actually a total waste of your time posting on here at all. I suggest you leave for a forum more befitting of your wisdom and leave us simpletons to our meaningless dribbling.

Organ signs a two year extension. Happy with that too, decent versatile player.

Happy enough with that, he’s a solid enough batsman who can cover all formats.

Hardly surprising, although last year was hardly any better. We just never had a solid week of hot, touching thirty, sunshine that we usually get one off a year. I’ve seen nothing resembling a proper thunderstorm either.

Yeah, it’s not really though is it, it’s another drama queen, look at me post.

Wow, that's all of 85 minutes you've given Archer to prove himself in the league.

That doesn't follow, we haven't signed any CBs better than THB in the intervening period. We have with AA. THB is our best CB, it'll just take a bit of bit for him to find his feet. I wish that wasn't the case but we don't have a better option, and persisting with the three certainly isn't one.

THB was our best CB last season, he isn't suddenly worse than JS or JB. What do you propose instead, playing the latter two in a back four, because that'll almost certainly get us relegated.

Laim Dawson scores a century and then a double fifer. Not bad.

Sack him and get someone like Dyche, who's tough, resilient and hard to beat.

Good grief Everton.

I don't know but I'm not going to say definitely, definitely not and sack him after three.

Probably best you don't run the club then, given that half our signings only arrived yesterday and two of them aren't even eligible to play today. I'd call it knee-jerk to sack a manager after ten games but three is next level impatience.

I’m not sure what the rules are. Bazunu got crucified conceding two from slightly closer and more central at Ipswich.

We're beating Man Utd in the cricket at least.
