Wigan - sugar daddy, money no object West Ham - in the very recent past made it into the European Top 20 Money League, debts reduced by £10m whilst in the CCC!!!! Sunderland - I'll give you that one!

Is this the Iranian blokey who has been "on the verge" of making a takeover bid for about 3 years and even last week said he wouldnt be doing anything until next summer at the earliest?

£2.3m? Thats our ENTIRE net spend this summer on transfer fees. Id say it was pretty damn vital.

I dont think it was directly AT the crowd.

not forgetting this one.

I fell somewhat ill saying this But yes, the ref was appalling. And worse of all he was one of them that I usually rate in Mr Webb.

Spurs home kit is White and their away is blue. What happens then!?

I thought Kuqi was excellent today. I thought Emerton was woeful, in fact no, he wasnt that good.

Took the wife to the final day or Lancs v York yesterday, Lancs had stands e1,e2, e3, f upper, f lower, g, h and j closed! My wife said "even ewood is packed compared to this place" Made me smile!

At those prices we will be presumable unlikely to sell out both tiers, so they can give the lower tier to the home fans.

Test cricket isnt one of the crown jewels, and hasnt been for almost ten years.

Really? People dont have sky? bloody hell. Now is the problem because it wont be available to the "masses" (ch4 audience in the small millions) or that they will "change it"? Or both? Or neither?

Phil, are you seriously suggesting that Sky will not show something they have paid many millions of pounds for?

AAt least we have a squad. You lot have to rely on some doddery old barsteward turning up with his boots to complete your bench

I think Alan's point is that how could Bellamy get injured with this welsh squad if he didnt join with them due to already being injured? Is that right Al?

That was about average for a county game sadly. I might be there tomorrow and friday.

is it? Isnt that ICC rules?

Its incredibly hard. It involves taking loco parental responsibility, the process is an absolute minefield with police clearance necessary, paperwork up to your eyeballs etc. Now presumably some of this is in place for the schools projects, but it is more than a case of "cant be bothered"

Ponting has gone. Next time I get a message asking me if I want to go remind to take the sicky!!!

England win. Just. Annoyed that certain people are there and that I am not.

How do you know who goes to games and who doesnt?

I dont dislike Amo

Its damn well expensive as well!

Im not a "committee man" either. But I am involved in this "project" as it is something I feel worthwhile. And I only stick up for people when I think they are right, Ive had some right arguments with some of my very best friends as well as people I have and/or havnt met from messageboards. Anyway, we digress somewhat.

Ste's been stalking you?
