STEVIE B

Have mainly been to Southern Africa, Cape Town & Port Elizabeth watching England play cricket. Obviously CT is as good as often reported. Amazing beaches, Table Mountain, vineyards, food & nightlife. Zimbabwe, when Mugabe was still in power. Was there for 3 weeks. Watched England in Harare. Went to Bulawayo, a lovely looking old colonial city. Went onto Victoria Falls & watched people bungee jump off the famous bridge. We walked over the Falls Bridge into Zambia. Recently went back to South Africa (Pretoria), to watch more cricket, not the nicest city tbh, but still had a great time. Managed to go on Safari (Pilanesberg)....... being chased by an Elephant was the highlight ! I love Africa on the whole. So much to do & take in, some lovely people too.

Everton still have to go to Luton. Start of May.

Glasner. Just saw it

Blimey, who ?

Steve Cooper would be a great piece of business. Although Palace would be the obvious next job for him, l guess.

Haaland probably has a decent chance. Other than him I'm not too concerned.

Doughty looks decent. Full of energy.

Really enjoyed watching that. After 10mins l was thinking of watching some Only Fools & Horses. Hopefully the second half is as good. Luton obviously struggle defending, in general, but show enough going forward to give themselves a chance.

If Referee's used the yellow card correctly there would be no need for this blue card nonsense. Stop bottling it.

Quite like Brewdog's Hazy Jane at the moment.

Was over the road at Kayal a couple of weeks ago. Excellent.

Safe. On Netflix. Pretty good.m

Our 0-9 under threat (yes, the 3rd time i've posted that this season !)

Shocking challenge. No intention of playing the ball. Leg breaker.

We were ahead v Cov. (game 27) KDH pen.

I did say in general. Some posts are frankly ridiculous. Maybe yiu should read some more.

We really are, in general, a weird fanbase when we lose.

Spot on. India have lost a player, Jadeja is struggling & England hand any advantage back. Alistair Cook made a good point regarding Root & Bazzball. He doesn't need to alter the way he plays, he's a top player. It's served him well. He doesn't need to go total Bazzball. The 'new' way of being more positive has helped players like Crawley, Duckett etc, who were at a crossroad.

That's possibly a fair point. It's just the fact both (especially Soutter) have had little impact/game time. Our recruitment has been very poor in our recent past.

That would make some sense. On the other hand, we were so badly run under Rodgers (I'm sure others were to blame) and we did seem to sleepwalk into situations, obviously relegation was the main one.

I do find the Soutter & Kristiansen contracts (until June 2028) absolutely baffling. It's like we were playing with Monopoly money.

Went there just before it burnt down . Didn't eat, had a couple of beers. Very nice, busy too.

Looking a bit ragged now.

It is weird. Same as some of our lot have a supposed hatred of Spurs, seemingly because they dared to challenge us during our run to winning the title. Get over it.

If that's guaranteed, I'd take it !
