Nope, but has closed for months at a time a few times over the years then suddenly reopened.

Anyone got any idea if the King Alfred is planning on opening for this (or again at all this season)? Don't want to walk down there just to have to walk back into town before the game.

I don't think potential buyers will be put off because Dodd and Williams aren't employed at the club.

Giroud asked who gave the penalty away Koeman would drop Long? He kept Pelle in the side when he was playing far worse, until he got injured and was forced to play Long.

Rotating due to a game on thursday and again next weekend. We played well without Hojberg, he didn't really make much of a difference when he came on. (Not saying he isn't good - just saying that dropping him wasn't at all part of the issue today).

Oh yeah, forgot about him. Thought you meant the defender.

I agree, but McCarthy? Targett? Bertrands played one game so should be fine, and I'd much rather see Martina than Cedric nevermind McCarthy.

I know nothing about Prague so I'm not as confident as you. I wouldn't mind seeing Gardos get a game though.

Ignore Verlaine, he's a proven skate.

That black eye for Lovren has cheered me up a bit.

We played very, very well at times today. There were periods where we moved the ball faster and more accurately than last season. However the striker situation is a problem. I am willing to give Redmond a chance to adapt, Puel has vast experience developing players and if he thinks he can do it I trust him. But in the meantime we need a goalscorer. Long has all the attributes except clinical finishing, and Austin has none of the attributes except it. My conclusion is that Austin is never going to be successful for us. Leaves us with Jay Rod, who lets face it hasn't looked good enough now for two years (mostly out injured, I know). We can't put our eggs in that basket. So we need a striker in january, even if only on loan, to play alongside Redmond while he learns the role. Ship out Austin and keep Jay Rod, Long as back up.

Played very well there, and we can take that forward...but that was literally the most infuriating game I've seen for years. So much wrong with that goal at the end.

**** off you ****s it was a freekick at the other end

**** off long, long can do one etc.

Jesus, people are so quick to turn on our players. Embarrassing. (You lot - not the players)

Playing very well now tbh.

Long has always been hit and miss with his one on ones, you have to accept players weaknesses when they bring something else to the team. If his finishing rate was better he'd be a £30million player.

Cedrics all over the place...

How reliable is this then? I'd pay for it if I knew it was HD and doesn't cut out.

By all accounts (including the man himself) that's what Henry was until Puel got his hands on him. The potential is there, let's see what happens eh?

Isn't that a paid subscription?

Martina linked up very well towards the end of last season, goals V City and Spurs came from his balls down the wing...

Tadic furious with Cedric for not running beyond him for that pass then. Proper laying into him.

Rodriguez has been poor from what I've seen...nothing wrong with Redmond though.

This was fantastic, but got taken down just before their equaliser.
