Van Dijk. No other player deserves it. He at least looks like he wants it.

Carry on.....

Are they a quality club? That they have struggled so much since Ferguson's retirement highlights to me how poor they are in so many crucial areas. Poor scouting, complacent training. Fergie's cult of personality there was Manchester United, he was bigger then the club. They have massive reach due to their success at the point where the premier league's global profile went exponential, yet, right now, they are looking to be something of a Dinosaur, like Liverpool have been since 1991. Nonetheless, for the right manager they represent a stunning opportunity. Those resources, that support and if given time...... It could be a perfect fit for Pochettino.

The f**k is a road shirt?

A lad at work had it, an excellently done game but somewhat repetitive.

Only polite.

That's my afternoon set, bag of nachos, some dip, a few beers... and this video clip.

Nutshell

Channel 4 made an excellent proposal for the Terrestrial contract in 2011 in conjunction with a design consultancy called 'Graphical House.' http://duncanblog.dailymail.co.uk/2011/08/revealed-channel-4s-last-ditch-bid-to-keep-formula-one-on-terrestrial-tv.html Should this be an adjusted version of that proposal, it could be very good.

Indeed. Regardless of the rights and wrongs that is where we are though.

Should 1 and 2 happen, three will follow.

As an addendum, really wish Juanmi would be as good in reality as in this game.

What GB capacity?

Do enjoy Jan's singing. Much better then Dan's.

Getting into this now. Hated it at the start as I couldn't figure out why my players were consistently underperforming..... and then you realise that you now have specific player position training. Much better.

Oh, missed Eastleigh by one!!!

At home to Palace. Bugger.

Such is the age of analytics we live in. It is more amazing that it's only just taken hold in the last few years rather then earlier, surely working to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the players who are available is just simply common sense.

Perseverance: 10/10 Execution: 1/10

Skates at home. Chance to get our confidence up.

Could this simply be a hangover from our time around 2008/09? The youngsters who should have entered the academy at that time as 11 year olds didn't due to cut backs and now we are having a barren spell as those age groups now come through.

No, go away.

Done. One of the more interesting surveys of this type asked on here.

At right back, agreed.

He wasn't cut out to be a Premier League manager but he gave us some very memorable games, the 3-3 v Newcastle, beating Liverpool. That excellent game v Blackburn at the start of the next season. Blooding Folly, Griffit and Hall. The turning point was the summer but I will always feel he was a better option then Wigley which was the first nail in the coffin. Pardew is a great shout, that day in Wembley will stay with us forever, but to miss out on the playoffs with that squad and the start to the following season? No, didn't make it.
