Would be nice if you could get her name right before asking the question !

Spot on, top clubs like Man U and Liverpool are able to embrace both so why can't we ? I was delighted to see MLT attending the awards do the other night and cannot see how this will affect our ongoing push for success ! If stripes are the most popular with fans then why not bring them back ? Surely respect for our history and courtesy to our fans does not mean that we lack ambition, on the contrary it can be positive IMHO ! COYS. Ps. Thanks FF for the OP, pity you always have to take a bit of flack with it, but on here it seems inevitable !

Was a piece of cake, no probs, only slight discomfort I had was when the wife (who had only just passed her driving test!) jerked the car all the way home from the clinic ! No regrets, even after another 30 years, reckon it's the best thing but obviously you have to think it through and be sure in your own minds !!

A weakened side, a win, can't complain ! I just love last minute winners, especially when the Skates concede an equaliser at exactly the same time Deep joy

You never mentioned Glen Johnson who is probably Woy's preferred option at the moment (Even with his Skate history!) so the chances of Clyne making it are pretty remote IMO !

Except for Alpine wetting his knickers

Having travelled extensively in Asia for many years I have been offered all sorts of weird dishes ! Snake, alligator, live crustaceans etc.. but (although I refused it!) the most sensational was a tiger's pr!ck served to an American business leader at a dinner in Shanghai ! For me, I had 2 or 3 main rules : never eat anything black, navy blue or wriggling on the plate, apart from that I had a go at most things and am still here to tell the tale

Fair comments IMO !

No real options for the line up apart from maybe Wanyama/Cork unless we blood some of the youngsters ! Have a good feeling about this one though, we are due a break and I reckon this could be it

Unlucky not to get three points but our away record stacks up against anybody's so one point not so bad ! Disagree with comments about the beach as I felt that we got stuck in but lacked quality finishing ! Nailed on handball, ref a plonker as ever ! Bring on the Toffees !

Actually I agree with you, I said that 'I would have to fork out £522' not that I have any intention of doing it because I perceive it to be a major rip-off ! Ps. my garden gnome has faded in the sunshine and now has a plain white kit

I can live with £600 odd quid for 19 PL matches but paying Adidas £87 for a kids (named and numbered!) polyester replica kit really sticks in my gullet (that's last season's price BTW) ! I have 3 grandsons, so if I were to buy each of them the home and away kits, I would have to fork out £522. If commercial thinking includes looking to the future, I would suggest that fleecing your youngest, potential customers is not the best way to go about it !!

I'm pretty sure that the 'barring crazy offers' comment implies that Shaw could go for circa £30mil ! TBF, left backs are not totally irreplacable and that sort of dosh can fill a number of gaps elsewhere in the squad ! Can't say the same for Lallana and Schneiderlin mind !

Neither Pardew nor Hughes are ahead of Mopo in terms of achievement ! Saints are relative newcomers to the PL and have improved step by step ! It is clear GS that you do not rate Mopo but this is stretching it even by your standards !!

The end of the world is nigh ! I'm just surprised that the implosion has taken so long after the Don has left ! No more points, Mopo will leave, all good players will leave, Kathy will sell to a gangster ! On the plus side Glasgow and Alpine will have something proper to gripe about

Bigger shame that they never managed to ditch the debts associated with the old club though, eh ??? :)

It's a pity that we have not heard from the ref or the lino after the game, the least they could do (and as a matter of courtesy!) is to explain why they made the mistake and apologise ! Am not holding my breath, mind, grrr...

I am genuinely not worried about next season ! There may well be changes but I feel that there is a solid infrastructure and good people in key areas of the club ! Smart people think positively and those who anticipate failure tend to find it ! No reason to believe that we can't keep moving forward although,as we are getting so close to the summit, obviously further advancement is more difficult ! COYS

4-1 flattered City and we'll never know just how much the (clearly!) offside second goal impacted upon the result ! Schneiderlin was immense IMO and was ably assisted by Cork and JWP, Rickie and Adam good in first half but everything fell a bit flat in the second ! Expectations were zero beforehand but the least you expect from the officials is that they get the easy decisions right !

Surely even Guly is worth more than the plucky, potless, pikey reptiles

And a one man party ! Although he was quite impressive last night, even more so as Clegg was an embarrassment, reminding me of Red Ed responding to the budget speech with empty rhetoric and the politics of envy ! Come on Nigel, join the Tories, you know that you want to really

Yeah, that's him, he's interviewing the chairman who declared at the time of the PST takeover that they were 'debt free' ! A bit like Jackanory really, I suppose ?

They seem p!ssed off that we allowed York to train at Staplewood (allegedly?) so maybe they could get Newcastle to train at their place this week, just for revenge, eh :)

At last a solid thread about football matters, some good objective posts here !

We had a ginger tom called Gizmo who was smart until his last breath at 18 years old ! There were no two bits of him hanging the right way and in the end and my wife took him to the vet to be put down ! As the young trainee vet approached him with a needle, he launched himself at her throat, drawing blood and scratching her badly. He clearly knew what she was up to so it must have been a good lesson for her early in her carreer ! I must say that I was impressed by his spirit !
