Guess you have Derry and Verlaine on ignore then.

But is he better at LB? :-)

The Prize Plum award really should go to people who dig out posts from years ago in a vain attempt to mock people. Even some of the main proponents of this sort of infantile behaviour on here seem to have desisted somewhat of late. Alpine had a point of view shared by many at the time. What has been gained by digging out this post?

Is Cedric injured? Not in the squad. He was taken off against Leicester must have been worse than it looked.

Absolute classic (No idea what it means or who the **** is Shaun Kenny)

Thats what the Scum wants you to understand, but the main point is buried at the end of the piece, he gave his ticket to someone else, and for whatever reason that person was not allowed in. The Scum doesn't add any details about why, perhaps he was someone already barred, who knows. Arguably if he had not giben the ticket away nothing would have happened. Umited also seem to have a decent policy that you can cancel your ticket in such circumstances, of course this is due to there being huge demand for away tickets so they know they can resell.

Just a thought, but do you have any proof of purchase from before 2012? Ticket stubs, or something. Maybe if you could email (or fax) proof they might bend, after all they have your details, and it is their "fault" that they have lost your purchase history. Not sure if it will help but worth a try.

Remember it well, skipped lectures.at Solent (College of Technology as it was) along with several others who didn't normally go to games.

We've been much the better team for most of the first half and should have been a goal up. Cedrica going off was a shame because we were looking composed in defence and he was linking well with Tadica. After he went off our defence is all over the place, VvD and Romeu backpasses dreadful, lucky to get away with both. Martina has done nothing wrong per se but Fonte and Vergil and Romeu seem to play differently and make.more mistakes when he is on. Austina getting some good chances, Remonda anonymous again. Davisa and Tadica making some goodn penings and Hojbjerg looking excellent. We should get something here if there is any justice. Watching in Italy with Italian commentary by the way.

Getting a point away in Europa was all that was needed If we had got a win it would have been a bonus. If we had lost it would not have been a big deal. Win at home and draw away and we will win the group, we only have to come 2nd to go through. Of course having fully fit squad against Leicester is more important. Surprised anyone cannot see that. Would have been different if we had not won against Praha or if Inter were not chucking their games. However just one conspiracy note, is it possible that Fonte and Bertrand were not left at home for disciplinary reasons? Though if so you might have expected Forster as well. I don't actually think this is the case but it does seem odd that some of our players were pictured rather the worse for wear after the Wet Sham game (Stevo was not of course, probably just carrying a slight knock).

As far as I can see Inter has only 4 players from their 1st team that are not available for EL. They could put out a better team if they wanted to. But if they don't we should be looking to win home and away.

No, I don't think they are whiter than white, but there is nothing in this sting operation that shows that he has done anything wrong at all. Like others he has been targeted because of his association with slimey agent and former Skate Scott McGarvey. They have met with as many of his close associates as possible in the hope that some mud will stick, as it has with the Barnsley manager already who has admitted taking a bung and been sacked. It just shows that some people who are in the game know the tricks to circumvent the rules. If Black has been involved in a dodgy deal or so then he deserves everything he gets, but from what has been published there is no evidence that he has. However, the old adage, no smoke without fire is particularly apt. I hope they weed out the slimeballs that have done such deals, but I suspect the real villains (no pun intended) will slip the net, while a few not too bright individuals will take the rap. We all believe Arry is as bent as they come but so far nothing has been pinned on him. Black has so far been proven only to be very stupid, nothing else, and this is why Saints may have a problem getting rid, they can probably only do what Derby have done with Pearson until there is further investigation by the FA or Black confesses to an actual wrong doing.

Maybe they piped one of Kruger's so called motivational speeches, in my view they are far more soporific than a Puel presser.

As far as I can see, he actually has done nothing wrong. But he has shown that there are ways and means around the rules, with the implication that he could do it or could have done it himself. What is really needed is to find some evidence that someone has actually worked around the rules, that is the real goal here. Black has done nothing more than condone the practice. He is a fool, like BFS, but he is not as far as we know either a criminal or corrupt.

Big Mac and fries.

No, injured in Feyenoord preseason game July 2015. Predicted then to be out 7 months (all season), suffered some sort of set back preseason. Doesn't seem to have travelled to Israel, Stephens is clearly backup for this game. Would expect an u23 run out for Florin soon.

World leaders arriving in Jerusalem for Friday's funeral. Expect security to be ramped up a few levels.

Has been back in training for a while now, must be close to being available, surprised he did not play for u23s last week.

Ones that even Jon Moss cannot disallow.

Am I missing something? Antonio normally pkays on the right, so how is Cedric/Martina relevant? I would imagine Bertrand will take care of Antonio (I think Antonio has played once left side this season).

West Brom supporters must be well upset

or more likely /5...

No Isgrove either. Is he injured? Not making the first team squad and not in the PL2 squad either. Just seems odd. Not making a case for him, just surprised that we still have him but he doesn't seem to be getting match time.
