They’ve got nobody who averages over 13 from here so watch us lose

Next wicket will be massive

We’ve really struggled to hit or time anything in front of square which makes me think this might be a defendable total.

Was just thinking about this. 6th game in 12 days so not really a surprise, especially if you’re approaching 40. Insane scheduling by the ECB, anyone would think they want to devalue the competition.

Til over 35 at least

What is it that makes it so hard for us at Grace Road??

Rubbish from the captain. looks like another belting Grace Road pitch for batters. Patel gets yet another shocker from an umpire in this competition. Think that was going over another set of stumps.

This isn’t true, Suella and Jenrick have said they’re all in Calais already waiting to come here.

0-1

Why are they playing a friendly on the sly while selling tickets for this like it’s the only one?

There’s loads of good documentaries about West Bank settlers, Theroux has done a couple, Bourdain went there and I think even Ross Kemp did a good one back in the day. Often the most extreme right wing people going in, killing West Bank inhabitants, knocking down their houses and building new ones on the spot. At best it’s ethnic cleansing, at worst it’s the g word.

Wasn’t it well known the Puel thought we needed to move him on to freshen up the squad? Obviously terribly misread it but also I don’t think it was a stupid idea, especially for an outsider. Rodgers successful squad of his first two seasons was assembled by Puel so he had an eye for a good player.

What are the thoughts on how HTFC will do? What’s the ambition? Survival? Mid table? Top half?

If Infantino goes, the head of FIFA will likely be a Middle Eastern sheikh so it’s hardly gonna get better.

You’re forgetting O’Brien who was often a shining light in a terrible team and would’ve been the best aside from Nixon. In terms of actual keeping, Cox has to be one of the best modern ones in the county game!

If they wanna send a bowler in up top then Mike is a far better option than Holland or Ben Green

Green in the wickets again even if a tad expensive.

Lewis McManus keeping for them.

Got Benfica in the next round too haven’t they? So they’ll end up in the conference league. I think they’ll struggle this season, the devastation must be off the scale.

Selection is just awful. Thomas keeps going on about 6 bowlers but it just leaves us batters light. They used Rishi last season and it worked, yet he’s not bowled an over this season.

Rizvi bowled very well the other day

The benefits of Russell Martin is that he’ll make bigger decisions than his predecessors and I’m therefore certain it’ll be Chaplin. It simply has to be.

That’s basically it, it won’t pass a motion so it’s dead in the water thank god. Funny that the countries in the confederations which would benefit the most (USA, Middle East) have both turned it down. Just shows it’s about individual corruption.

So fifa needs 106 associations to reject it for it not to progress. 96 have so far (UEFA & CONCACAF), there are 10 South American countries so even if the African and Asian countries are happy with it (though I can’t imagine the likes of Japan and China would happy selling football off to Americans), then it is off. So it hinges on South America really.

probably missed this on another thread but this is incredibly disrespectful, shows how hard management can be, especially when he obviously thinks it was a cool thing to do.
