From memory (reading one of Clough's biographies,) they had a conversation along the lines of: BC: "Justin, where do you go to get Bread?" JF: "Bakers, boss." BC: "Right, and if you wanted some bacon........" JF: "Butchers, I guess....." BC: "Right, so why the f**k do you keep going to that bloody p**fs bar?" To say he was from a different time would be an understatement.

Exactly. When 'coming out' stops being a thing, and the reaction is, 'so what?' then progress will have truly been made. It's extremely heartening to see that with the children I work with, sexuality is becoming less and less important as an issue, it's simply another variation in people like hair colour.

Has the potential to not just be a random cameo. And it still appears that she is 'Seven,' not Annika.

Frankly, I would get both Walker-Peters and Jan off, Bednarek and Romeu on, shift JWP back to RB.

Much better, great strike.

The conditions reminding me of Stoke away back in Dec 2012.

Ridiculous.

Nervous about our back four, I can see Jay Rod enjoying being up against Vestergaard.

I have recollections of Liptak scoring a free kick v Watford. Edt: Nope, that was Saeijs. For that reason, Licka.

Highly irritating. Pleased to see us playing so well and capable of such high quality football. I'm focusing on that as my parting shot from the game... otherwise it would be maddening.

What a beautiful, beautiful goal.

We are attacking at will. This is great to watch..... Shame we are, well, us.

Excellent phone auto correct there.

Two sides taking the competition absolutely seriously. Could/Should be a cracker.

Some of the players mentioned. Genuinely dis-likable or simply pragmatic?

Dennis Wise was one of these. Then he briefly played for us. You sometimes need a bit of dis-likable to complete a team. Don't take Dennis Wise as the best example....... Give me a successful team of cvnts over a group of total submissives any day.

I applaud you eelpie. Brilliantly put.

Not a single appearance for Tranmere while loaned to them earlier this season. Bit of an odd one. 21, so would be a latter bloomer if at all.

Deserved an opportunity to say goodbye. Played in some of our finest recent teams, a key element of the sides that came 8th, 7th and 6th in consecutive seasons. The league cup final, the San Siro, unlikely yet occasionally excellent goals...... A tireless professional who deserves the greatest of respect. Good luck Yoshi, may we have the chance to see you soon.

Yep https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2020-01-29/announcement-southampton-football-club-kyle-walker-peters-loan?fbclid=IwAR0Xg6m91mExu1kujbdwaX5aMx5K52oE79DqsQU3VzE9KPkEnF6DdIjo17s Will he be more Ryan Bertrand or Stephen O'Halloran?

A bit leftfield. Hopefully Valery is nearly fit again and KWP isn't shocking.

Last time I felt like this with a signing was Bertrand. I hope lightening strikes twice, but would be surprised if it did.

A wonderful sign of maturity from a player who has had such a torrid and difficult time. Possible captain in the making on this basis, pressure from adversity may have created a diamond.
