West Indies have collapsed like England used to

Ah cheers Bob!

Appiah is the fifth most common name in Ghana.

Just checked. It is Ghana.

Is it Ghana?

Are these Appiahs any relation? Or is Appiah a bit like Smith in Ghana?

We badly need cover at full back. Ogundere is fine as first choice right back but we have nobody good enough to play left back. Johnson is OK as a make do, Biler is not (on either side). He caused another goal yesterday by being caught out of position and giving away a penalty trying to recover. This is a regular occurrence with him. It would seem the summer break has not resulted in this flaw in his game being eradicated.

Thanks for the Wikipedia suggestion, Silk. It's been really frustrating trying to keep up with who's in the squad.

Chariots of Fire on BBC 2 now

You had me worried for a while, Hash.

That would be cruel:)

Lol i think it would have been amusing to keep the Kwesi Appiah thing going for a bit longer

Ahh - now that makes sense. Thanks, guys.

Are people confusing Kwesi Appiah with former Villa defender Paul Appiah who is on trial according to the SLP?

Who's going to enlighten Silk?

352 didn't work last time because we didn't have the forwards to play it. We didn't have a target man and our best attacker, Assal, was better as wide forward who roamed. Now we have two target forwards , Bugiel and Stevens and two forwards who can play off them Kelly and Piggott. Not too sure why we are looking at Appiah as we have those four plus Sasu. What is worrying is that defensively we only have O'Toole, Johnson and Lewis the Sutccliffe and possibly Ogundere as cover. We do not know how Sutcliffe will fare. Probably need another couple of defenders ahead of Appiah.

I’d rather here the bores drone on about the Dons Trust than the nerdtalk

This problem started with Visicalc, so as usual Apple are to blame ;)

They eventually came up with a patch for that on Abacus123.

RP - obviously spreadsheets are a law unto themselves, but it's worth noting that there was no year 0000. The day before 1 January 0001 (ie the first day of the year 1 AD) was 31 December of 1 BC (which presumably would be written as the year-0001 had they had spreadsheets back then!)

For any spreadsheet nerds on here ... If you start with the date Mon 01 Jan 1900 in Google Sheets and take away 693961 you get Sat 01 Jan 0000. If you then take away another day you get Fri 31 Dec 00-01. The final date it works for is Fri 01 Jan 00-1 (take away 694326), after that it fails.

It's good to see we now have some sensible people in government making rational policy: [Link]

Jackson has now officially confirmed that Appiah is on trial.

LOL - I did exactly the same as 6MDM yesterday evening.

I use excel but thankfully I've never had to enter 19th century dates.
