Critical assessments under The Guardian match report too, and admitting that Basle were better..

Good to see the number 8 following in. The timing in the shot was good to get so much power, and the WH defence couldn't have suspected they'd need to close down there. Another name to watch out for.

That would boost their finances!

I prefer using my heavy Le Creuset saute pan. If I don't get you round the head I'll go for your knees and as I play footie I know all about cruciates..

I don't think you're quite that advanced, to be honest.

Come back afterwards if that happens: you'll get a far better welcome!

Seriously? Do I have to ask Trousers for quotes?

:-)

'Errors leading to opposition shots'.. worst in the league for that made me chuckle..

So Pompey don't need goals then?

Some of us play Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for saving me a lot of typing!

Why do you think we took quite a number of short corners? Mind you, Villa still didn't move from their positions much for those either!

I have no problem with opinions, but why do guys always have to be so dogmatic and confident in their opinions? 'Certainly'? How about: 'in my opinion I think "we'll find it difficult", or "it's unlikely" or.. you get the idea. But no.. you have to choose 'certainly'. Jeez, we didn't play well tonight, a sucker punch (which we all half expected), an error from the goalkeeper and a decent equaliser, but I'm convinced some of you _like_ being disappointed and depressed. I'm a Saints fan, so I often expect the worse, but some of you enjoy it like a hippo in a mudbath.

It would be nice if Palace and Hull could win tomorrow...

Do you have strange tastes then, Goatboy? To remain on topic, the radio just mentioned Chelsea so many points ahead of Southampton!

Ahhh, love!

Your work seems to be progressing quite well. Carry on.

By sheer chance my old repaired map of France was in the bin next to my desk so I fished it out to remind myself of last year.. I'm lucky in that being always on my own I can please myself about stops, although no one to share the driving. The problem with the autoroutes is that to take full advantage you tend to want to put your foot down and, at least on the cars I've used for these long trips, the fuel gauge visibly drops quicker! Then you need to get off the motorway to avoid the fuel prices. As a result I take a mix and match approach: last time the Autoroute Blanche, for example, down to Macon and then cross-country for other bits - in my case Moulin,Nevers,Orleans,Chartres,Evreux etc. to Le Havre. Software is ok, but it's quite useful to have a large map for planning your own particular journey, and I'll replace this tatty old thing when I get the chance.

OK, still tongue in cheek, but perhaps we could go through the team.. Forster 'England, England's number 1, England's number 1' , Clyne....etc..

Last winter I went to the Alps via Portsmouth/Le Havre. It was an overnighter on the way there - being winter I had a 4 berth cabin to myself - which didn't help much as I was bouncing off the bunk it was so rough.. Did the trip to a friend's place in one hit, but did an overnighter in the Loire valley on the way back as racing for the ferry is always a bad idea! It's then15/20 minutes home for me, but iirc you're Midlands so may not suit you so well. If the weather is OK winter driving can be fine, but think I'd avoid weekends during the summer if possible.

Not waving but drowning...

Hopefully we'll get more than 2 points this year! Might be known information, but well presented.

They are a professional team, right? My previous amateur women's team regularly had a physio for injured players.

Just doing some basic maths. If it is xx years before there might be another derby game, you must be 80 -xx = young...
