On my visit to @ErithTown on Friday..
A piece on my visit to @ErithTown and their pre-season game against @Withamtownfc - separate from the stuff for my book draft. A good game, finished 2-2. Good luck to both in their campaigns. lordcanislupus778part3.wordpress.com/2025/07/26/i-c…

Teddy Sheringham because we all knew how bloody good he was - so although inevitable, still gutted. Tim Cahill - again, see above, but for £2m. And Theo calls himself a businessman.
Today's question: Which player did your club sell and you were gutted about them leaving? Perhaps they were your hero. Or the club sold too cheaply. Or something else. Remember, it has to be a transfer made BEFORE 2009. Your turn...
Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was
I think the club are doing a lot of good things with the social media side, but that font is atrocious. I struggled to read half of it. Good luck today. Although I have a history, it will always be a club that meant a lot to me.
Your Phoenix side to kick off the season against @hollandsblairfc this afternoon. 🟢⚫️
I went off debating who is the greatest ever when one particular chap got on my tits about Sachin v Lara and just would not stop. It is utterly utterly dull, pointless bollocks. There. Grumps has said it.
He has a point. Give me an opener in this era that replaces any of the regular openers for India, Australia, England and South Africa for starters from that time.
Don’t shout at me but batting these days is way easier than 20/25 years ago! Probably twice as hard back then! Waqar, Shoaib, Akram, Mushtaq, Kumble, Srinath, Harbhajan, Donald, Pollock, Klusener, Gough, McGrath, Lee, Warne, Gillespie, Bond, Vettori, Cairns, Vaas, Murali,…
Very watchable game 2-2. Got to leave early. Thanks to everyone @ErithTown for making me welcome. I will return!
Nice evening @ErithTown and got some nice background for the book. After a horrible day, nice to be with some friendly faces. Game v @Withamtownfc .
Assuming I can cope with the nonsense, hope to be @ErithTown tonight to see some old friends.
I happen to think Kallis was the greatest cricketer of his generation, but he was also pretty dull as a batsman. No bad thing. It is what makes cricket great. Stokes, whatever you say, is box office entertainment. Don't demean either's achievements.
Jacques Kallis scored more test centuries after turning 34 than Ben stokes has in his entire career.
I go through this terror, for this is what it is, to satisfy some presenteeism bloodlust because you think I'm a slacker working from home. Good for my mental health they say as I'm gripped with panic walking through Waterloo. Just a long as you are happy. That's all I'm worth.
