Agree totally with this.

Their comment is that because commentators and 80% of the media were on their side, they must be right. Very dangerous attitude if you start to believe what your friends in the media say. would they produce MOTD footage as evidence? What a precedent that would be. Could this mean any red card judged to be a mistake on MOTD should be overturned? The whole idea is just ridiculous.

Apparently it's the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Unprecedented though.

West Ham now considering taking to FA to court. Could see the ban suspended pending the case. Sounds a bit desperate to me.

The problem is VW does need game time as we need him to get back to match fitness. In tough games he has shown how important he is and we need that option. He may start, as against Fulham where I think the plan was to keep it tight to start with then have Cork in reserve to bring more attacking potential if we needed a goal. However, at home I would hope to see things reversed and for us to play our most creative and attacking combination from the start, hopefully get a lead then give VW time at the end when he can (should) give us the solidity to see the game out in place of Cork or Morgan. Either way, I'm sure he'll get at least half a game.

Three midlands teams would be good for me doing away days.

I was right in line. Curled in the top corner. Beauty!

Looks like he was and starts. Won't have trained at all with them though

Apparently not certain Holtby was registered in time.

Classic striped Saints shirt, as always.

I don't think he ever had the right attitude or commitment to Saints. He was lukewarm about joining us in the first place and I always felt (IMO, of course) that he considered himself slightly above playing for Saints. Yes, he undoubtedly has ability, but I don't think he was ever going to fit in with our standards of training and fitness and style of play, and for that reason, I'm glad to see him go, and hope the move is made permanent. Young Sam will eventually deliver far more.

Agree totally. Always gave 100% effort, was really important in the promotion year and has been adequate cover in the Prem. He just can't match the very high standards we now have. He will be a good buy for Forest. Thanks, Danny and good luck.

If we sit back and defend, we'll get ripped a new one. And it's not our style. Boric Chambers Fonte Yoshida/Wanyama Shaw Morgan Cork/Wanyama Lallana Davis JRod Lambert Davis, Clyne, Jos, JWP, Gallagher,Reed, Rowe

8-) no hat trick?????

The best birthday present I've had.

Apart from the legend that is Guly scoring, nothing at all.

Manc 0 2 Watford of interest!

Guly!!!!!!!!!!!!

P*mpey winning.

Is this the match thread now?

Done.

Well said, and true, especially the bold bit.

A stand, yes - mine please, the Liebherr Kingsland Stand - but not the stadium. St Mary's recognises the location and the heritage and roots of the club.

Have wondered whether there's a way to keep all 3 in, playing one in the Davis position.

Is there anyone out there? (apart from Batman and me. Making me feel like I'm some sort of Robin)
