Bucks Saint

Flowers in our hair? Better still, flowers in our curly red and white wigs. Sorted

No worries at all, makes sense so we can play guess who is who together

I will be there. But no need for a large dollop of bravery, given I have met Lou before (responding to a similar invite). I don't need to reinforce anything she has said, but anyone who can sink a half time pint in 4 minutes deserves respect

Would love to know who those giving stick (if this is true) would play instead of him? Muppets

Ings looking v decent again today

He was not very effective up front on his own previously. Playing as one of a front three, with pace from out wide, was easily his best position. It's working well for Mane

Jay Rod is not really back up to Pelle, this guy looks like he might be

Wow, brilliant. All the excitement in the last 2 minutes!

Interesting to see what happens, but I think he will will start most games (which is why he left) as they dont have Morgan / Vic types blocking his path.

You did not mention first team regulars. What is your new cut off then, as 15 appearances and 3 goals does not count? You think he moved for more money?

Jack Cork = more than 0.01%

My cynical view: You post something and then would say nothing if most agree/support, but if they dont, claim you are just reporting AN other's view. Complex

Woosh. Unsurprising from you

Everyone will be gutted that you will not make it

What, that he was very likely to be off in the Jan window and that you thought we should definitely take the £20m being offered? Yep, well done you, you called it

The most I have laughed (and most of the journos) in a press conf! Quality

That

What time are we (said in expectation of a crowd...) convening at Ye Old Farmhouse?

Aim high, by which I mean find some very senior roles advertised which are exactly in the right area for you, but perhaps too senior just now. See which recruitment firms are handling these and then check them out to see if they are not exclusively dealing with mega £££ roles only. These firms are like estate agents. Almost anyone can set one up, most are somewhere between mediocre and terrible unless you want a very general, plain vanilla type role. Good firms do exist but they are the exception. I know the good firms in my sector but have no idea about yours sadly, hence my suggestion above.

Mate, worry not, it was in jest for sure. On that night I accepted your good reasons fully and could not dispute anything - though it was of course helped by that last minute winner. Look forward to meeting next week!

Game is likely to be voided anyway, with +3 points and +4 GD awarded to us, seeing how WHam have been so very naughty lately.

Younger than me. Happy to help

What, as opposed to the current utopian free flowing situation when the outside lane is rammed full (mostly with people cursing those in front for not moving over), the middle lane is half full and the inside lane is barely populated?

Lou, I am mildly disappointed you did not go for the hatrick with me. You threw me a curve ball with that "definitely a weekend match" stuff but I can hardly blame you. This forum is packed with fair, decent minded, welcoming people who will happily accompany, nay, entertain you. Many of them are even warm blooded. Just a word about Pap's offer. He will lead you all the way up the path to the "playful hot spots" I have no doubt. But at the last moment he will lose his nerve and make some excuse about the late appeal of McD's or some such. He will soften the blow with a suggestion to meet after, but alas, that too will come to nothing as his fear of public exposure overtakes him. He will be some miles away before plucking up the courage to let you know. Be warned

A nice thought, but its not just MoPo who failed to reform him (despite knowing him from a previous spell) but arguably successive managers at Juve and Inter. Ok he may not have laid into any more of his team mates but he has hardly set the world alight or turned up for training when he should, despite playing in a country and league that he apparently prefers.
