Nowhere near. Revised target off fewer overs might make their chase a bit easier, mind.

Yep. Think he'd be a good addition. I like the way we're operating with these loans with obligation to buy. Got it spot on last season- means the selling club can't up their price if they're a success (Fatawu) and we can send them back if they don't quite work out (Yunus).

Going to have to hope Rishi and Sol get us off to a flyer, Handscombe and Goldsworthy get out quick, Neesham and Kimber stick around for 12 overs

What's changed? I thought it was reported that he fancied Roma more all along- if they don't stump up the extra €10m that won't be happening.

We've only ever had 3 really shit sponsors in our history, and 2 of them have been in the last 3 years.

It's a bit dull, but it's a smart kit before you slap that abomination of a sponsor on there. And 70 English pounds sterling? Christ.

Take the point after that start.

No thanks. His name has always annoyed me on commentary. Too long-winded.

Right in the promotion mix with players to come in and the 4 weakest sides in the division left to play. You never know...

Happy days. Rahane and Wright in for the promotion push.

Anyone else listening to the live stream? Only caught part of the conversation but sounded as though the ECB were happy with Wright's explanation as to his failed drugs test?

Has the pitch evened out a bit, or have these 2 just done really well?

Stayed last season, was our best player and helped get us out of what would have been years of transfer embargoes and points deductions in the second tier. That's enough to warrant a lot of respect from us, at the very least.

Club medical staff obviously bored after Ricardo and Justin managed to stay fit for a year. Would have been a bit less destructive to just buy them a PlayStation or something.

£10m+ less than he's worth and another player with breadsticks for legs? Nah.

Honestly, what's the point, with this cretin pulling the strings? Jesus wept.

Oh **** off Mike.

Just checked the score for the first time since Mulder got out and I'm sorry but what the actual **** is going on?

Hypothetical situation, but a plausible one... If we were to win enough points to stay up but get relegated because of a deduction, how do we rate the job he would have done? Do we then keep him on for next season?

It's done. Time to back him and the team.

Steeeeeve PERRY

Admittedly, it was pretty obscure.

That's the way I see it, doesn't bode well for the points deductions. It's going to be a long season!
