For a second there I thought you were saying someone had declared on 4 runs for 8 wickets.

They went from 26-6 to 27ao in 9 balls too. Just ridiculous cricket.

He was never signing for another Championship club, despite some people on here insisting we should, "just get it done FFS!" Norwich have been stung by his contract expiring next summer, he would easily be a £20-25m player otherwise.

We don't know who's planning to leave. Bednarek and ABK look like reasonable bets, but we may also choose to cash in on Edwards or allow Wood to leave for first team football.

Something that would be really useful but too inane and uninspiring to make a movie about. I'd quite like to be able to tap stuff and instantly sell it for its original retail value. An old ski jacket in the loft, or a knackered circular saw in the garage, that kind of stuff.

Perhaps we're getting Romeo Larvia back on loan?!?!

Today's results all but confirm an away QF for us. Bit of a shame for Vince at the end there, his last shop dropping about 10m short of netting him a century.

Just generally being a free, secular and democratic society where everyone is allowed, within reason, to speak their mind. That and Jaffa Cake Bars.

Smallbone, as a squad player in the Championship, will be perfectly fine. He wont make the team of the season but he's adequate as an option to have in the squad, along side Charles, Aribo and Downes (based on our current options). If we get promoted and he's still starting games, that becomes a different issue.

Yeah, twice actually. Plus I've been directly responsible for the life of someone suffering cardiac arrest and been involved with the air ambulance, so perhaps go easy on the 'moron'. IF an air ambulance is requested, it takes 10 seconds to radio the other stewards and have someone near the dugouts tell the fourth official, so they can then call the players off. As far as I'm aware that wasn't the case today, never has been at St Mary's and isn't for the overwhelming majority of medical incidents in the stand.

I’m not sure why you’d think a fan living or dying would hinge on the game being stopped. Why it’s so hard for a steward to radio the first responders and say, “someone’s collapsed in block 36, row Y,” I don’t understand. As for having their route impeded by excitable fans, I’m not buying it either. If half our fans can head down for a pint ten minutes before half time and come back ten minutes after, I fail to see what’s stopping a paramedic. Anyway, sounds like a decent run out for most of the squad and hopefully no injuries picked up, which is all it’s really about at this stage of the summer.

I think the ultimate example has to be when we beat a bunch of Swedish builders 12-0, then lost our opening game 1-4 at home to Palace. These are literally just glorified training matches, the team on August 9th won’t look anything like this.

Still haven’t got a clue why football started stopping the game because of medical situations in the crowd. Seems completely unnecessary and open to tactical abuse.

Ah, fair point that’s my mistake.

Would have been nice to have spelled Downs’ name right for his first game.
