Yep. Should have been stopped by the ref as soon as he picked up the ball.

Otherwise known as killing zones.

Hamstrings are normally six weeks or longer.

Possibly, but any vehicles left standing around for ten or twenty years are going to have weak tyres. If they were inherently faulty you might expect that they would have found out with all those exercises they keep holding.

Oops. I certainly didn’t expect that Deal with it and move on. I’ve moved on.

What difference would that have made to the outcome?

Lock him in a room with a bottle of vodka and a revolver.

It really was. I went to every home game and it wasn't the last 6 or 7. We were knocked out of Europe and didn't we lose to Manchester United?

What took them so long?

Do you think it would still be effective in today;s game? I would like to think so.

And there's the problem. Football is played on grass. I didn't like him from the start because his football was soporific. I don't care about profile and he could have spoken French as far as I was concerned. It was all about what went on out on the pitch and the answer is, not a lot.

I hope that means we won’t be moved to the Friday

It certainly beats lions versus Christians.

I spent the whole game waiting for West Ham to step up and take over. I came away almost in disbelief that we had somehow won 3-1. I never felt that we were in total control but maybe that’s just me.

I felt the same. We weren’t playing our usual slick controlled football and were resorting to hoofing the ball up the pitch or into the crowd at times. That wonder goal changed the whole complexion.

I was surprised to hear that Chelsea have made a loss of £900m over Abramovic’s tenure.

It used to. Ten years ago they were allocated two from the Soviet fleet. The "worst two" according to our Ukrainian guide who was married to a submarine Lieutenant. I don't think they still have them.

That's not true, and you know it. The only land they control is what they are standing on.

According to Putin this is not a conflict zone.

From some reports I’ve read the individual soldiers didn’t even know where they were or why they were there. “Exercises” is what they were told.

There’s no such thing as stonewall.

Did he actually touch the ball? If so where was the point of contact, above or below the bottom of the sleeve? Answers on a postcard please. Entries are limited to no more than 1200 words.

That is beyond stupidity. Mike Riley has hung his colleagues up to dry. That was not the clearest penalty that you might ever see no matter what old mother Riley thinks about it.

Yeah, right. Now look what we've made him do.

I read one report that they are running out of precision munitions.
