Go on Parky 🏏

Ended up on Castle Hill last night for the lighting of the beacon, similar scenes across UK.

He's on holiday with his family and also on a technology ban I read earlier Armchair. Glen was talking up Farke I believe, but it seems Farke has bigger fish to fry in Germany right now so my guess is, its back to the drawing board.

Training would be held in MacDonald's, no thanks.

Just on the subject of blockers....... Great quote from Fred Trueman about probably the greatest blocker of them all -: "If Geoffrey had been half as good as he thought he was, the fans would have been queuing to get in, rather than queuing to get out" Looking forward to a trip back to Lancashire later today, Cherry Tree CC the venue and an hour or two with Henry Blowfeld, should be a great evening.

Proper run clubs like Villa don’t close for bank holidays, they got the Critchley deal done in 24hrs, just how it should be.

Spent more money on transfers last season than we did, Blackpool that is. Billionaire owners eh……cheap bastards.

English batting techniques aren't going to change overnight, but let’s not forget, the best test team in the world NZ suffered today too. Both Australia and India are formidable test sides, the shorter game hasn’t impacted on them, it’s a lazy argument to blame the white ball and hopefully ‘Baz’ will prove that over the next few years.

It’s personal Waco I’m afraid, the cuts run deep.

And once he is, you’ll still keep that hard earned cash in your pocket would be my bet rigger. Hopeless mediocrity incoming, I just get a feeling…..

He's probably worried about them being on strike… But you're right o2g, he needs to pad up, England showing we still can't bat, Baz has plenty of work to do.

Brilliant scenes from London today celebrating Queens Platinum Jubilee, historic. Makes you proud to be British 🇬🇧🇬🇧

They can only make a like for like change and Parkinson is the next in line I guess. But I agree it must be strange for him ‘bombing’ down 50mph M6.

Good to hear from you pal, yes all well, hope you and yours are too.

Good start by Crawley and Lees here, small steps, that’s all we need at this stage.

In the pub AS? 😀

What would Jack and John Williams have done here? First thing is they'd never use FFP as an excuse for appointing cr@p. They'd have pulled out all the stops to bring in a manager and staff that can get this club back into the Premiership, no messing around with the old guard or taking a chance on unproven managers, they'd have gone for the right man to get this club promoted. Season ticket deadlines extended beyond any appointment date to enable fans to support the new manager. Jack or John Williams writes to fans through the local media, the new man will be backed, promotion is the target, funds to achieve this goal, town needs to get behind the club, lets put this football club back on the map, you get the drift. Manger appointed and he too writes to the fans, rallying call to the troops, new shirt in the club shop, get behind us and we'll make great strides. You don't need a marketing degree to understand whats required here, you just need drive and a desire to succeed, people that care and want the best for the club.

Potts 3-8, dream debut. NZ 39-6 at Lunch.

Dream start for Potts - He gets Williamson with only his 4th delivery in test cricket, and it’s at Lords.

First wicket down, Anderson is back, superb catch by Bairstow low down.

The club closed in 2011 and is yet to re-open.

NZ win the toss and bat, as chaddy suggested above.

I firmly believe that one day this club will end up with local owners supported by fan involvement at the top table, until then we have to suffer this orchestrated decline and continued dumbing down at all levels. The reason I mentioned this is because I believe Ainsworth would be perfect to come in when that day comes, right now he’ll achieve nothing, he’ll soil his reputation, never to return. The next appointment is now irrelevant for me after our ambition has been exposed, cheap and cheerful yes man incoming. Venkys Out is the only way this football club moves forward.

Waggott didn't have the power to sack Mowbray, or renew his contract or even tell him the contract wouldn't be renewed, now he's the main man pulling all the strings? Give over Simon, if it doesn't make sense, its probably not true......

2-0 🇺🇦
