Mind you, most of them go the way of Ramello Mitchell.

To nobody’s surprise, Harry is apparently in talks to write a book/film for Diana 30th anniversary next year. It’s become an industry and media segment all of its own. Tragic event but might need to fly overseas next September where there’s no chance of seeing the wall to wall TV and other press coverage. The Express and Channel 5 will be unbearable!

Only way it’ll improve is the American electorate pulling their finger out in November and the GOP losing one or both Houses. That’ll curtail Kushner and the Mad Bens because Trump will be too busy fighting impeachment/asset stripping domestically.

His agent might disagree with that though.

I agreed with much of his interview until he backed Ben Brown. Another loser I want to see go, but if there isn’t a better wicketkeeper option then I suppose we’re stuck with him. Not as captain though, ever. If Lehmann doesn’t want to do it, then let one of the better kids grow into the role, or Scott Currie has a good cricket brain, but always concerned at all-rounders being skipper from a workload perspective https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/cmd68p7lpzdvo Weatherley and Albert are good for white ball but not red ball. Prest needs to find a new career and direction outside of cricket. Gubbins century at Leics fools nobody and I think he might be out of contract. Ali Orr - not cut it and rumoured to be going to Middx. Felix Organ out of contract, surely he’s going? Fuller ditto, good player for us but past it. Brad Wheal has a year left and if fit, not a bad D2 option. So him, Abbott, Lehmann, Patel, Hudson-Prentice, Brown, Baker (mostly England now), Mayes, Currie and plenty of new signings. Lost so many top category players with Dawse white ball only, Turner retirement and the OOCs, we should be able to sign a lot of new players and chance for the owners to show their mettle. And FFS, get two genuinely good overseas players. Not second string Saffer crap or middle aged Kiwis who weren’t any good in the first place and not charged with serious offences.

A few seats empty at the Riverside https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckjrxpz03w8no

Talking of voltage, I’m not usually pro-death penalty nor do I think like this often but I would pull the switch on this cunt and think nothing of it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6d79pzny7gjo I don’t know if he’s the most evil bloke in the prison/loony bin system today but he’d have to be in the top dozen at least. Waste of oxygen.

Good on them, well done. Far more backbone than the English tabloids and broadcasters showed when Farage banned a string of journalists from Reform’s shitshow in Birmingham. Although it might explain why the Times has been going after Farage’s Portsmouth FC-esque finances if Murdoch thinks Trump/Farage’s behaviour is unconstitutional and unethical. Trump is totally fucked though. Look at his economic ratings and GOP are some of his worst critics on the latest tariffs https://thehill.com/business/6100985-trump-economic-policies-poll/ Higher gas prices and inflation were supposedly the excuse people made for voting him back in https://thehill.com/business/6100985-trump-economic-policies-poll/

It’ll make a change from them drilling varieties of stingrays I suppose.

South Tyneside senior Reform councillor parroting far right population replacement theories and talking about war. Pure MAGA slop.

It’s like Solak said to Spors ‘can you pick something up from Dobbie’s’ and he got confused and bought Lewis Dobbin. Perhaps an MLS outfit might be interested during January so Dobbin Does Dallas.

Our hopes of a victory do appear to be receding though, staying on topic.

Quoting ZZ Top, do we know how to use them?

I don’t hate the fact it’s blue, I hate the fact even Pink Floyd would have rejected it as an album cover late 1960s/early 1970s as too psychedelic. Hopefully Saints tune in rather than drop out and it’s a successful trip today.

Glad you got those last two words the right way around. Otherwise they really would be an old married couple.
