I love Sonic Youth and i was in love with Kim Gordon. They did some fantastic LP’s, but i have to admit they did a couple of dreadful LP’s. “Bull In The Heather” is one of my all time favourites tunes.

No I wasn’t TMP, he usually is shattered after a set of shifts of afternoons, days, nights. There might be a seat at the bar so he can get his head down.

Woolf only has one game plan and that’s the grind, if it isn’t working he’ll stick with it. Wellens wasn’t happy with Hurrell’s fitness near the end of the season and that’s why he didn’t play. Yet Woolf was saying “he was in great shape” during the buildup to the tests. I haven’t a clue what Wellens will learn from this test series bar more dull, predictable, five drives and a practice kick into the corner.

I don’t know what Saints fans see in Lees, he won’t make big yards, break a tackle, or offload the ball. He will give away stupid penalties or get binned though.

I am looking forward to the match now, but yesterday i wasn’t. Storm Babet had put me off and i was going to give it a miss, I was wondering if Peasley Cross Bridge was flooded as well. But everything is fine now i am taking four people tomorrow including my Staffordshire granddaughter and her pa. The granddaughter says “she likes Rugby League (i always tell her to say Rugby league ). Her Pa plays the other code for some amateur club in Staffordshire, she always tell’s him now “your sport is so boring whilst Rugby League is far better”. She was asked in school yesterday “what was she doing over the weekend”, she said “i am going watching a Rugby League test match on Sunday. It’s far more exciting than the boring 15-a-side one my daddy plays .

Is there no relegation from now on, i haven’t a clue what is going on. Do the RFL know!!.

I am going to watch Withered Hand & Darren Hayman in Manchester at the end of next month. Nobody or virtually nobody has ever heard of them, Darren Hayman was once of Hefner(which again nobody has heard of). Withered Hand(Dan Wilson) plays lo-fi music. Darren Hayman has done loads of lps and he was on Radio4 a good few years back talking about his “thankful villages” LP. I am really excited but my brother who said “he will take me and it can be my Xmas present” is far from looking forward to it. But the good news for him is comes off nights on the day of the gig so he shouldn’t be tired.

I got in from work and the tickets arrived which is good news.

I am still waiting for my tickets to be delivered for the first test on Sunday!.

Has he got back to you!!.

Fair play to Wigan strong in attack and defence, i did enjoy the match as i wasn’t bothered who won. There was some bone rattling crunching tackles, RL is a tough old sport. I was wondering if McNamara let Wellens and his coaching staff take over the kicking game for the night, it was very Saints-esq, poor.

The BBC haven’t even got the international fixtures or results i think that is very poor.

Even the most blinkered and one eyed of Saints fans will have to admit we didn’t deserve the win. We are so predictable, with the five drives and hoof. 1. Discipline - it’s shocking and has been like that throughout 2023. 2. No pace - you can look through squads and everyone seems to have pace, whilst Saints have only got Welsby. 3. Centre & Winger needed - we are crying out for either, we got Hurrell on the cheap but Tubby Scoffalot has fallen into his bad old ways. He got another year out of us somehow. 4. Kicking game - woeful. Fair play to Tomkins he had an excellent game and scored a cracking try. Compare that to Roby & LMS i didn’t even know they was on.

What a try fantastic try from Tomkins, Catalans throughly deserved the win, Saints didn’t deserve anything.

Saints and their dreadful discipline, what a bonehead Mata’utia is. I thought the Johnstone disallowed try was very harsh i would’ve given it. We are really clueless at creating anything near the opponents line, and as per usual our kicking game is woeful.

Catalans by ten. It’s been an enjoyable four years but everything has to come to an end.

I think that is a great signing for Wigan if he isn’t unlucky with injuries. I look forward to seeing him back in the SL even though he will be in a different jersey.

I didn’t know Saints had shown any interest in him Barley. They won’t be interested if it means there is a transfer involved.

That’s shocking.

Cheltenham Town losing at home to the Cod Army 0-1 at HT. If they don’t score tonight they will equal the records held by Coventry 1919-20 & Hartlepool 1992-93 who both went eleven games without scoring.

When FC play at home do they keep the beer takings from the bars on the ground, do Hull City as well!!.

Surrey Surrey rah rah rah.

I can’t believe the RFL never agreed with Ch4/Sky in which they had to produce 10,000 cardboard cutouts of spectators. Then they could have been be placed in the empty seats at the matches on tv. The game will never learn.

Bennison is a safe as houses and has got a great future, and he is also still only a young lad. When Welsby sails off to Australia hopefully Bennison will be Saints No1.

Hopefully Saints have learned from the Grace situation and won’t hang around waiting for a player to make his mind up.
