Stud mark of doom

This picture always makes my day - can we get it added to the banner at the top, after SRL?

He's back from the dead - very appropriate at this time of year.

To echo the commentator after his over head kick v Liverpool, how about simply "what a magnificent goal"

Very harsh - he always looked like he was giving 100%, unlike 'arry and most of his signings.

From memory, I think it was around number 23

A friend of mine used to have a badge that just said Jim Steele Mel Blythe Government health warning

Interesting - Sunderland seem to be the most popular third team to go, which isn't how the bookies see it.

Borus was back as first choice in goal several games before Adkins left.

Are you sure? I think we were all singing a song about the likely outcome from the start.

According to lawrie in "diary of a season" that coat was very good for occasions when "I was likely to be mobbed by the fans. Very easy to wipe the finger marks off" or something like that.

Sounds like he is getting them "Harry-fit" Redknapp insisted on Friday night his players had “trained harder on this trip than on any trip I’ve ever been on”. He added: “We worked the maximum, man for man, worked our socks for an hour and a half, every day.

Alex Ferguson gave up half way through.

In my experience (my daughter has a season ticket too) they often have a little look just to check it really is a child using the ticket.

I'd put Gaston well ahead of most of those in the rubbish today league.

I think the Geordies could be in for a tonking.

MP's reaction in the press conference to a quote from Nigel, that Gazza might be a future Argentina keeper, was interesting. I got the impression he couldn't quite believe what he was hearing. First in English and then in Spanish!
