This Charming Man

Guinness or a cider depending on my mood. For a short I'll go for a Vodka and Lemonade normally. Though starting to get into dark rum and coke.

Because other than Hart and Green, he's the only 'keeper that hasn't retired despite having 10 years playing time left in them. Anyone who retires from representing their country at any sport should be banished to France or somewhere sh*t like that.

Not always that simple. Hence why we dropped Richardson for Butterfield towards the end of the season to give us a bit more stability at the back. Richardson is a better player but Butterfield was more suited to our needs at that time. Zabaleta was forward on Sunday as they were playing a poor side, they were camped in the QPR half for the entire 90mins and had to win the game in order to win the league.

If Mancini doesn't rate him, why did he make him captain when Kompany was suspended? The reason he doesn't start for City in the more important games is down to the style they play in those games, him bombing on down the line doesn't fit in with that.

Joe Cole has had a decent season for Lille. He would've been on the radar had he been playing over here. Instead, he's the forgotten man over in France.

It's not £12m straight in the bank and there to splash out with. It's to help clubs cope with all of a sudden losing £40m that's been keeping them going over the last year. If anything for the first couple of season's after relegation, it'll leave you in a worse financial position than most other clubs in the NPC. Or you could just do what the Skates did, spend it all, make no cutbacks, then carry on spending whilst burying your head in the sand.

In 36 games for Liverpool he's not scored one goal or even got one assist. That's terrible, utterly terrible for a winger whose sole purpose is to provide goal scoring opportunities and chip in with the odd goal.

Oh and Glen Johnson over Micah Richards is a strange one. Richards is a far superior player and is flexible in the positions he can play which is ideal for tournament football.

Just can't understand how a winger who hasn't scored or even got an assist all season has got in. Downing is a very average Premiership player. Can't believe he's got in over Johnson. Other than that, I think he's got it spot on. Chuffed with the inclusion of AOC. Someone who can come on and really help win us a game if need be.

In that case, you could also argue that it was poor defending that allowed Lambert to score his hattricks.

Let's hope so. My memories of Premiership away days are mainly of middle-aged to elderly people moaning at me for standing up, entire end sat down in silence, etc. Urghh, we used to have some right tedious away followings in the Premiership. Can't remember the last time I sat an away game. Even Forest and Leeds with their Gestapo like Stewards, we still found an area that refused to sit. Let's hope this carries on into the Premiership.

My Leicester mates still go on about his performance up there whenever I see them. Apparently he hardly featured after that game as well, they used to rate him but he hasn't been the same player since, ha.

You're mistaken. Quite literally the entire population of the South of England - from Margate to Penzance, from Birmingham to the IOW will be clambering over themselves to get a ticket to watch a spot of Premiership football on the South coast. Ignore the fact they've never bothered in the past, this time they will flock.

Surely that's a bit of a prerequisite for someone to think you've made an outstanding individual contribution to a game?

12.30 Saturday KO, £48 a ticket, guaranteed loss. We'll sell it but anyone who wants one will get one. Has always been the way when we've played there. I reckon we've only taken over 3,000 to a Northern league game (Derby play-off's excluded) once in the last 10 years and that was Man City in 2004. Mainly because tickets were a tenner and coach travel was a fiver, after they shafted us on our ticket allocation at Maine Rd.

Doubt they'll sell out at all, depends when we play them and how we're doing at the time though.

I pulled a bird of Indian origin the other week in London. Her dad was white and her mother Indian, so she looked like she'd applied too much fake tan - perfect for me. As they say, you're not a man until you've had some tan.

Davis at Leeds for me. Never seen a performance like it from a 'keeper and doubt I will again any time soon. The way the players reacted and immediately mobbed him after the FT whistle showed just how good he was that day.

I'd imagine they will just cancel the ticket, so when you go to scan it you'll be refused entry. I know people who tried getting in on duplicate tickets at Wembley for the JPT. The original tickets had been cancelled and were invalid when they went to use them at the turnstile scanner.

Liverpool is 3,000 tickets as well (well near enough). I guarantee you now, not one single Northern away game will sell out to ST holders alone, they may sell out come KO but anyone who wants one will get one.

I had a similar situation a while back and she would need to get him to renew it in his name to get the discount. Though the problem then arises if say we were to do something silly and get to the FA Cup Final, who would get the ticket? I just decided to buy outright again (had to give my ST up for a season) as you'll then receive your renewal discount when you renew the following season and will save all the hassle.

The only games you'll struggle for tickets next year are London games. In what was arguable our best season in decades, we still didn't sell out one single Northern away game.

It's also against the law for a barmaid to serve someone who is drunk.

No it doesn't. If I know a ground has barcode scanners I always buy a kids ticket as there is no way of them checking, only Leeds made the effort to check who was trying to get in on kids tickets which means having a steward by every turnstile, which defeats the point of scanners anyway. I won't be blagging it with my season ticket as all my details are already on the system. Though any cup games, Under 11's ticket here I come.

He played well at Millwall in the FA Cup, was probably our best player in the 1st half.
