I was there as well. Seasons high hopes seemed shattered by 1pm. How wrong I was and how I had been optimistic with good reason

But 33 is only just over a year into a four year deal. There's nearly three more to go on the same money. I agree that at 32 I still expect him to be more than able and 33 as well, hence why a two year extension would seem ideal. However with an unsigned offer still on the table, Nelson must...

A bit like Jackie Gallagher a few years later who, despite the song, was never worth a million pounds!

Remember Graham Roger despite his one/two appearances but can't remember Billy Kellock at all

Time and a place. Duckett seems to grasp it and so does Pope but some of the ‘better’ batsmen seem unable at times to read the situation. Brook in this innings in particular was very odd and it started with his no ball reprieve when (I think) he hadn’t yet scored. The shot and shots before it...

I reckon it’s Dave Thomas

Smiths with the little blue salt bag were my childhood favourite

€30m seems to be the price and if we want him and he wants to come, I really hope we don’t mess about.

The coach sounds as truthful as Trump. Do it once and it goes viral, repeatedly and you’re more famous than Messi
