Thanks, nice to hear.

We could do with extra cover and experience in the left back position but Cole will be 35 in December. If he were cheap to run then he might well be worth considering but might well be considered over the hill.

My thoughts precisely. I wonder who it was all aimed at.

That's my philosophy. I am going Thursday night anyway, and also to the away leg which is an adventure for me, and shall just have to put my faith in the management. There's not a lot I can do about it anyway.

If he were still any good Swansea would still play him.

Yes, I thought they were strangely subdued, especially in the first half where it was obvious that our shape was wrong. There was no point in waiting until half time when we were two goals down.

Maybe, maybe not. The relevant section is article 42 'Player lists'. It appears that there is a limit of 25 players on List A so depending on who is on the list that we have submitted we may be able to add another. There are requirements for a minimum number of locally trained players and all sorts of others sh!t. You are welcome to try to make sense of this: http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/23/69/59/2236959_DOWNLOAD.pdf

I agree. I wonder why he didn't start?

Left midfield was empty for the first half and whether Long was supposed to be there or somebody else nobody on the field nor on the touchline seemed to be doing anything about it. In situations like these you would normally expect the manager to make some rearrangements. Where was Ron today, I couldn't see him anywhere from my seat?

I'm more worried about the Targett-sized hole on the left of our defence. He could have had better cover from midfield and for that we need to look to the management but he was clearly out of his depth and to pull out of challenges and just back off from players is unforgivable. When is Bertrand back? Certainly no need to panic yet, it's going to take ten games or so to get a solid defence sorted.

Thanks, I would just like to make sure I'm in the right country if possible. The complexities of the draw are too much for my poor addled brain

That many? It was a dull game.

Do the six games in the group stage alternate home/away? Then if we get through and once the draw is made we would know the dates of the home games.

Too true. I was pleased to contribute but have never actually seen it.

You haven't mentioned 'Den Gamle By' museum. For those interested in Danish history and culture it is well worth a visit. Personally, I'm looking forward to an evening in Copenhagen and hope to have a chance to visit Tivoli. The train ride to Herning is also an attraction for me, I've driven all over Denmark and would like to see it with someone else doing the driving. There was also more choice of flights to Copenhagen especially from Gatwick which is the right side of London for me. Whichever, I'm sure we shall all have a great time

Europa League. We've already won the FA Cup.

Yes it would and no it isn't. Price in £ is 2*(log10(quantity)) which is another way of saying £2 for each of the digits in. the amount. Now if the quantities had been (for example) 1, 12, 107.... Doing tonight? Fish & chips and watching Man Utd getting stuffed. What is the first film in colour that you can remember going to the cinema to see?

Just a word of caution... In my experience the mobile phone system can get overloaded just before a big game and even texts can take some time to get through.

I'm sure there will be some spares available in the home section, always assuming that you know how to behave yourself
