Gloucester Saint

Danso is getting a lot of stick online from their fans. I missed off their game at Villa, their hope might be that Villa prioritise the Europa and then they knacker the likes of Gibbs-White for Forest.

That was a game they really needed to win today after losing at Sunderland. If Forest beat Burnley at home tomorrow and West Ham get at least a point at Palace on Monday (got a feeling they’ll win) Spurs are running out of road. Nearly over if they don’t win at Wolves. Chelsea will be spurred on by their crowd so it’s the home games with Leeds and Everton final day. Even if they win Wolves away, Leeds and Everton home, relying on West Ham slipping up and Forest collapsing.

America is not an ally since the Orange Blimp’s re-election. They won’t be as far as I’m concerned until MAGA is cleansed from existence by any means neccessary.

It was good fun under WGS as well early 00s.

Domingo clearly doesn’t fancy him but the fact - and it is a fact - his average is still 11 better than Weatherley’s. It’s like arguing over whether Bazunu or McCarthy is better - clearly Alex is but Peretz wipes the floor with them both. Hants need an opener who is a similar upgrade. Weatherley is heading for full-time work and Southern League cricket next summer I’d have thought unless Derbys or Gloucestershire get really desperate. Shame Albert got injured - hopefully he can bat with a runner if needed or not be out for too long. At least Toby has age and a lot more talent in his side. Tom Prest starting well again today and then giving it away when set. Lehmann our best batter so far and Gubbins getting into some form. Liam Dawson needs runs.

He’s been very under his usual standards with the bat so far too.

Any striker who hits such a wild shot at goal that it clears both tiers of the Milton Road End wins for me.

Relaxed about the Iran conflict….

I’m not suggesting the UK Parliament is perfect, far from it, but when we had our nutcase in Truss, she was removed by her own party very swiftly, or at least the MPs rather than the swivel eyed members (some of whom carry a light blue membership card now). Mind boggling that their whole political system hasn’t come together to impeach him. No shortage of evidence. I see Lebanon and Israel have agreed a ceasefire of sorts. Or the Mad Bens have ceased bombing the crap out of them temporarily.

But needs minutes if Manning gets a knock

That’s a shocker. And his final involvement in the game.

Hope he scores, deserves to tonight.

Better than focusing your nose on it 🗑️

My point, after 40 years of watching Hampshire and England at home/Barmy Army, is that Joe Weatherall is only averaging 24 FC when he’s had seasons earlier career averaging over 30 so at the age he should be in his prime (29/30) he’s probably averaged 12-18 FC over the last 2-3 seasons. Orr’s shot selection is a concern but right now he’s an average of 11 better and that’s a huge difference over a season. He can be coached to tighten up if he wants to listen but his average indicates he has some defence to go with attack. I’m not sure there’s a lot more development in a top order player averaging 24 nearing 30 years of age by contrast.

Hence the fulsome praise, and it’s exactly what Farage would do here, as Richard Tice is doing a pretty good job of highlighting, with the odd assist from corrupt Bob.
