It's down to the high 70's right about now, loads of rain. For the last week we've been suffering through a heat index of over 100 (heat index is the combination of tempreature and humidity) so if it's like 90 and the humidity is high then it feels much hotter than the temp actually is. Anyway it was miserable, quiet a few heat related deaths.

From the TV. we had a good first half, Pat Nevin analysis of Shola was spot on, he has a lot to learn about position. Second half we were all at sea & midfield were all over the shop. Basedas & Solano when they link up are great, there needs to be more movement around them though. Elliot makes us look a much better defence.

Bellemy will give an option it he plays behind the front two (one) but a bit if a one trick pony, god knows why the Gormans fell for it every time.
