Spit - it wasn't Alan IoW was it ? 😉

Just seen the red away kit for the first time - oh my! Sexy sexy sexy! So much nicer than the home kit where it looks like someone left the yellow manufacturer's packaging tape on it.

That Tooting forward looks like a version of Peter Crouch, freakishly tall

the first part of wot Led sed at 13.31 yesterday - the FFP rules were put in place to stop clubs going bat-crap crazy and going bust chasing glory. Yep - on board with that. on the other hand, if squilionnaires want to "buy" the league, I have no problem with that either. iN Premiershit times, the first one to do it was Jack Walker at Blackburn. After that you had ManUre (simply down to the financial fire-power of the income from their stadium). Then Chelscum came in with Abramovich's millions - and I absolutely LAUGHED my tits off hearing the ManUre fans complaining about that. Then someone else comes along. Then someone else else comes along. Get on with it. Or would you rather have the American system of drafts and franchising and no promotion or relegation in an attempt to keep the fans of the shitter teams engaged?

An oft-expressed opinion (particularly by me) but extremely eruditely and entertainingly presented [Link]

Oh we get about. During the Covid period a chap in the next village saw my posts on here and offered to get shopping for us.

Last Saturday lunchtime was sitting in the Chine inn shanklin admiring the view , and a fellow wimbledon fan walked past in his wimbledon t-shirt. .down towards the fisherman's cottage.

Good. A big move so better to be certain.

Still looking padds., one a possibility .

Blimey. Not good. Any luck househunting Spit?

3 vans of bombs,5 arrests according to x padds.

Any idea what's gone on over your way, Trig?

I thought Harrison was already always showing himself to receive passes. A proper Reeves replacement.

Has WJ been evacuated?

Morning all. Proper SW19 report on Cambridge now up - [Link]

Need to get Harrison on the ball more. He is so calm and composed. Keen to move it forward when he can.

I posted this back in April about Port Vales 'huge debts': [Link]

Trigs, reading between the lines, i think Exeter ran up some losses/debts consolidating in L1 and now the chickens have come home to roost

Camb Utd better than MK & Bromley but impression is that the promoted teams are all going to be lower half, possibly bottom four. Suggests L2 is meh but, on othee hand, Exeter & Vale struggling.

Two teams whose first choice starting XIs would look completely different to what both could manage to field yesterday. However the same problems for us - inability to keep the ball, and the midfield needs a ball-winner and someone more defensively switched on. Thank God we have Stockley - and also that he now has a fortnight's rest - as otherwise we are in huge trouble.

In operation don't lose, we successfully did that, being pragmatic about the match, it was a good point. The chances they had were about double the number of ours. They missed chances too, not so much us. Stockleys header and a couple of half chances summed up the attacks yesterday. The frustrating thing for me is the two penalties deny in two games, on other days each may have been given, 4 points dropped as a result, possibly but encouraging nonetheless to create those situations. Most would have taken that scoreline at 14.55 yesterday.

Good to see a british world speedway champion.

Exeter with just the one win in L2 after eight games. They’re still not in the relegation zone (Crawley & Port Vale) but given how close we came to relegation last season it does serve as a warning. Wonder what debates their fans are having over whether fan ownership is still the preferred model or whether they’re also looking at some form of change.

I predicted that our game would be a draw yesterday, so I decided to put it in a 5 draw acca for a quid and the Cambridge equaliser won me £222.95.

Next four league games are tough so it’s good to have some points on the board and to have a break to allow international players and injured players to come back or at least get closer to coming back.
