Whitey Grandad

He's a smoker. Nothing in his DNA about that.

Today's papers are mixed. One says ankle injury doubt, the other says recovered.

Sherman

Schwanz for Germany.

He probably got it done in Jamaica, or somewhere near.

For Swansea?

I just want Saints to succeed. If that means using Gastón then so be it. If not, then no problem just as long as we succeed.

Bar

He's always been a good player but needs to be used properly. I felt that he was shipped out at the start of last season before Ron had even had a look at him. Whether we should adapt our style of playing to suit his talents is a different matter.

It had to be done. Now we can all get on with our lives.

Are we absolutely sure it was a chocolate bar?

Wonderful, thanks for that. No negatives from the evening. A clean sheet, lots of goals, another step in his rehabilitation for J-Rod, Ryan back on the pitch, Pelle gets a well-earned rest and a useful run out for those players not considered first-choice at the moment.

And Liverpool down to ten men.

Week commencing 26th October.

Of course he did. He must have known I'd be away

Nice draw. They'll be shaking in their boots. Only eight games in the next round. This is getting serious now.

Next round dates are week commencing 26th October. Bugged, I shall be away.

38 now

He looks a good player, lovely balance.

Yes, Channel 5 at 23:00

Indeed it was.

I hope not

Chambers OG equalises for Tottenham

Be careful what you wish for... Brenda's doing just fine at the moment. Long may he wane.

I was at a referees' meeting and the phone behind me buzzed three times. We were 3 - 0 up when it finished and 3 - 3 by the time I got home.
