  1. Bit early for that, pop back in early March 2018 and you might have yourself a deal.
  2. Zola's available.
  3. TBF I think most teams in the country would look small against Chelsea. Their side is packed with big athletes, it has been for years.
  4. Unfortunately we are neither fish nor fowl. We played some lovely stuff tonight, particularly first half, but we are way too easy to play against/score against. To go to Chelsea and play 4-3-3 and hope to score more than them is a big ask, but it made for an entertaining watch. If we put in 38 of those performances a season then there is no way we would threaten the top 6/7 and no way we would go down, the table doesn't lie, Chelsea are top for a reason and we are where we are. If we do Hull by 3 or 4 all will be forgiven (we probably will, I can't go which usually equals a decent result).
  5. This is one of the disappointments of the season for me. J Rod's dad needs to get over himself, get his son a gig at a mid-table Championship side and we can all move on.
  6. Make-weight for Heaton would be nice.
  7. Yes, very happy with Yoshida as our 'number 2' centre back, and would be equally delighted if he ends up as number 3. If we could 'buy' another 30 goals from somewhere and strengthen the midfield it wouldn't be the end of the world if we ended up with Yoshida and Stephens playing regularly.
  8. You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. Good to see the saintly Nige now admitting it's all 'a massive con'.
  9. Any chance we could see the red lines before we vote?
  10. #notsureifserious You 'do' realise that in a Grammar school system around 75% of kids go to a Secondary Modern school?
  11. You'd have to think there's more than 'someone' who is going to be disappointed. c45% will vote for Tory/UKIP/other right wing parties, and that vote covers all of the spectrum from hard to soft Brexit (which is huge) notwithstanding a significant minority of Tory voters who are remainers any way. Rather more will vote for Lab/Lib/SNP/Green and other left wing parties, the majority of these will be remainers (but with a significant minority of leavers). For an added bonus ball we won't actually get to see what we're voting 'for' for another two years. My money says the majority will ultimately be disappointed and only a minority will get what they actually want.
  12. That's a strange take, presumably then they've factored in Corbyn resigning and him being replaced by a half-competent 'new' caretaker manager, and that they could still win with some to spare? Would have thought Corbyn was the Tories nailed-on win card; take Corbyn out of the equation and they might just find they are nowhere near as popular/omnipresent as they believe themselves to be.
  13. Confused.com 1+1 has gone from £39 to £37? Bloody maths teachers;)
  14. Redknapp takes over at Birmingham (!), proper football club and all that innit?
  15. Yep, need 50 soft Tory seats to go Lib Dem to force the Tories into a minority. Reckon they might get 30+ but it won't be enough. FPTP is the Tories winning card here, LAB/LIB/GREEN will take well over 50% of the popular vote between them and the Tories will rule indefinitely on less than 40% of the vote. nd
  16. Away section at Chelsea was about half-full for the mid week game when Puncheon scored a screamer (Adkin's last game?). What's that? Four seasons ago?
  17. I was there, apparently a record crowd at the Dell 31 and a bit K, but anybody who was at Mick Channon's testimonial will tell u that is fake news.
  18. Hope someone's given Puel the Hawthorns' dress-code, chav casual; shell suit and white trainers, baseball cap is optional.
  19. I think I've seen 4 draws there and them winning twice, I can't remember ever seeing us win there, I'm going and I'd take a draw this time.
  20. Agreed,we sit in Block 36 ,square of the goal and just behind the goal line, i called it as a penalty in real time, Bmth moving fd, Saints going backwards ,fd went off of his feet, feet first!. Either he's been held back,or it's a hell of a dive. Go down your local park now, sprint 10yds ,try and fall backwards with your feet in front of you. Bet you can't do it!
  21. 2-2, neither team can defend, (just hope we can find 2 goals!).
  22. I bought 2 this afternoon, looks from the graphic that there are about 150 left (I didn't count every dot).
  23. Lots of heat, but not much light. I had a quick look last night and unless I've completely mis-read it looks to me like 'renewals' get it at last year's renewal price, and anybody buying a new ST (when that window opens) will get it at that same price? Unless I've hopelessly misread it, it looks like a price freeze for anybody that bought at last year's renewal price, a price cut for anybody that was a first year last-year, and that new customers can join at last season's renewal price? The take-away is that most customers will pay the same, some will pay less than last year, and new ones can join at last year's discounted price. Not many things staying the same/going down at the moment so hats off to the club! Or a canny move by the club (and/or a response to some of the alleged dross served up this season); match-day tickets at £30-£40 a pop to watch mid-table mediocrity will increasingly become a discretionary purchase as the economic winds blow in ... good move to try to grow the core support, particularity the offer of more and cheaper family tkts. I'm more than happy with my offer and will be renewing x2.
  24. Everton's Fraser Forster saves 3 penalties to help England lift the 2018 WC after a shoot out victory, while Southampton's Joe Hart can only watch from the bench and rue a season that's seen him lose both form and confidence after his surprise switch from Torino. England GK coach Dave Watson declined to comment.
