barton and swp are good buys for them tbf. two experienced players with premiership quality. both would be in our first team. tony fernandes seems keen to splash a bit more cash before the window shuts too. i reckon they'll be alright.

After 3 shit seasons, barton finally comes good. So we let him go for free. Another Mike Ashley masterstroke

Two Gareth Southgates. There's only two Gareth Southgates! I was right behind him in the Eric Hollies stand at Edgo a couple of years back when he got that flintoff chant going.

Not in Yorkshire and Lancashire! You wouldn't call Boycs, Bumble or Darren Gough posh...

Second favourite sport after football. Winter is football, summer is cricket. There's massive amounts of skill involved. It's quite similar to golf in that it is slow to watch but it's all about timing, transfer of weight into the shot if your batting and judgement of length of delivery. For bowlers its all about accuracy, putting the ball in the right area. The thing i love about it is the strategy. A test match is like a game of chess. A long drawn out game of strategy that can have twists and turns over 5 days and still end up in a draw. It's so brilliantly British. The yanks could never watch a 5 day game with no winner. I love a lazy weekend pottering around the house with the cricket on in the background for the duration.

Away win for me.

Some shocking crossing from Simpson yesterday tbf

Tell you what, we looked a lot better after vukic replaced gosling too.

There's only one ameobi!

His big bro should be f ameobi

Free header for best, who sends it away from goal back toward our half

Another class ball in from ameobi

Man of the match - sammy ameobi. What a find! Great ball there for the pen shout.

What a save krul

The ba/gosling signings not looking that inspired so far. Ameobi jnr looks lively.

He spread the ball nicely there for Simpson, whop proceeded to blast it into row z

That is woeful from best lke

We've turned up for the second half.

Good point from beresford - where are the leaders on the pitch? Oh yeah, we sold them all.

There was shite on display throughout the team from defence, midfield to attack. I think the thing that troubles me most is our strikers. Ba and best on this evidence look even worse than shola. Worrying.

Fucking hell and again. He just hoofed it into touch under zero pressure. Looks utter gash tbf

And gosling gives the ball away cheaply. Again

Cabaye and gosling cant get a foot in the ball. Best and ba labouring up top. Ba looks slow as fuck tbf. Lovenkrands wasteful in possession out wide. Only plus so far is marveux seems to have a bit of pace and skill about him.

Fucks sake.
