Surrey win which means we could well need to win 2 of our last three games to stay up two of those three games are against first and second in the table the other against bottom

Surrey 2 to win I wicket required a tie jot the worst result

Surrey 12 runs to win Yorks need 2 wickets

I think it’s only a month initially many non league loans are short term and consistently renewed

Never struck me as the type to court controversy given the closeness between us and Surrey, seems a strange appointment as match referee Surrey could well reach their target

They managed it easily last time we can’t realistically defend the territory against a full invasion by Argentina But they’d be gambling that we’d not take on kicking them out like last time. Clearly we don’t have the resources we had back then. Away from the sabre rattling it’s an interesting situation. Could be that milei just wants a share of the energy pie.

He’s clearly been encouraged by trump Argentinian sanctions are unlikely to be much of a problem to the energy companies extracting oil from the south atlantic i do wonder if trump’s attitude towards the falklands is linked to what we do on chagos. Burnham seems intent on going ahead which will annoy the ‘orange one’. He had said that our inability to help out in the straits of Hormuz means he’s less inclined to take our side if Argentina decide to really raise the stakes. (Which I think unlikely)

Would anyone other than an old fart from this country come for just one season ??

Not normal average max in Dec is 16/17c Their record dec max is 25c by any definition that’s only roasting if you were wearing a parka

If we’ve decided that he’s not capable of being the no 3 then worth looking through the list of goalies who are unattached because we might be taking one in for the season.

At Xmas ?

Not unless there’s an U21 tournament that year ! England’s midfield in four years is going to be very strong. Maybe the 2032 euros he can be competing within the squad.

Reading loved him last season. would have taken him again this if they could have done a deal I expect a lot from him

Crazy situation Monaco have to sell 1 player balogun to Everton then problem with the medical so deal off push kamara to Chelsea instead deal on then Everton renegotiate the balogun deal and Monaco prefer that. So deal sheet goes in at Everton and Monaco pull the plug on the kamara deal. after window has shut, balogun decides he doesn’t fancy the Everton deal after all. so no one moves all three clubs pissed off monaco now need to make that sale in January and wouldn’t surprise me to see Chelsea revisit the kamara deal although some chat that Liverpool may be interested Everton fans are livid

Could do with getting some batting/bowling points and the draw. But the forecast looks ok from tomorrow (maybe a delayed start Friday) so going to be tough

Imagine you and and a few mates have booked a week away in Pattaya. Booze and birds. And then thousands of sex starved marines turn up!

Apparently after 30k/week so pass ….

Waiting to see what has happens with Faes before making a full judgement. no word yet on what loan fees we’ve got for mavs or skipp clearly the man is able to do several things at once - helps that he doesn’t have to speak to half a dozen racehorse trainers each day 😄

He seemed to have Fernandez to Man City news pretty accurate yesterday and then the Kamara deal details (before it fell through) He definitely has a contact at Chelsea (and prove that Bigfoot doesn’t exist!)

He’s regularly on national radio via talkSPORT whether he knows stuff or not, he sounds like he does on there if he was a total grifter with no contacts then they’d surely not employ him because he’d be wrong too often I’m sure he is building contacts across clubs. Just as ornstein gets real stuff fed to him from the bigger clubs, in ten years that could be Jacobs.

they left it too late to get him in and then loan him out. If they’d got agreement from us then only loan they could have done was back to us. According to the ‘stories’ we asked for 12+3 so they couldn’t have offered 15m. I’m very confident in saying that the kid ends up there next season or the one after. Just think yanited tried their luck yesterday to see how desperate we were for cash. They run the risk that the club would be pissed at such a late approach but if page had gone then presumably skipp would have stayed. So it’s not like we had to replace him. (Lundstrum was already on the way in to cover an outgoing). If we get promoted then they’ll have to pay 20m+ for him. If we don’t then they’ll get him for less than they offered yesterday. .

Odd that account said page would stay and we have got a new dm in lundstrum But agreed could well be informed guesses - who knows ???

I wouldn’t take note of much on x even a reliable Belgian journo didn’t end up being right yesterday if he doesn’t get a move to turkey or Saudi then he’s stuck in limbo till january and we’re paying for it. unless of course he terminated yesterday evening and we haven’t heard about it. If the club thought he was off to West Ham then doubtful they would have a back up plan - will be working overtime to get a club in turkey lined up now. EDIT: there’s actually quite a few options still out there for a few days so no need to panic just yet.

not writing him off but for now he doesn’t look like he’s going to be a success. Still time though. Maybe needs some settling in. No idea of his personal circumstances and whether he’s apart from his family. if we sell him end of 27/28 for 500k then he’s cost us 10k/week in addition to his wages. It’s manageable although not great if he simply doesn’t perform across those two seasons.

Hopefully we’re paying him a salary that means we can move him on next summer. Same with burns. Some seem to have forgotten that trading players is exactly that - of course the way we’ve run our club over the past decade it’s not a surprise that our fan base just assumes that you’re stuck with a player that doesn’t fit until their contract runs out.
