Whitey Grandad

I was worried

Because he's got history.

The problem appeared to be his right hip, just below the pelvis. With his shorts pulled down we all had a good view from the Kingsland

Don't undervalue the defensive side. Only five goals against is extremely valuable.

This was his day, Bournemouth are delighted with him. It's just that somehow I keep expecting him to drop a clanger.

I was pleasantly impressed by that.

Just seen it. Good save, surprisingly.

Nooooooooooo! Death of a legend I must dig out my 12" LPs of Wheels of Fire and hold an appropriate tribute. Thanks for the memories Bruce. RIP

I should just add... A great finish from Mané, the ball came to him quickly yet he dispatched it cleanly and firmly into the open side of the goal. It would have been very easy for him to have blasted it over the bar.

Thanks, that makes nice reading and warms the cockles of you heart. I like the phrase 'after shifting all that dead wood'. The Deadwood stage has left town

Clyne was the other side of the pitch so I don't know what he could have seen. The alleged incident happened right below me in the Kingsland and right under the assistant's nose and I certainly didn't see any knee but the two players were very close and there may have been some personal contact. Tadic was obviously upset about something and wasn't the same player afterwards. Personally, I think he was having a protest about some earlier incident

Clean sheet, luvverly jubbly Tadic went off the boil for the last twenty minutes, whether it was a knee in the bum or just tiredness I don't know and I though Long might have come on for him just to dole out some of their own medicine. Perhaps he's being saved for the Cup

My feed was very jerky

Sad news about your brother, my condolences to you and your family. Depending on your journey details you might want to consider the National Express coach direct from the airport: http://www.nationalexpress.com/wherewego/airports/heathrow-airport.aspx

Yes indeed. I could never understand why Currys online had lower prices than their stores. People we going in to choose and then ordering at home.

Superstores might be going out of fashion: http://www.hl.co.uk/news/articles/tesco-a-business-model-overtaken

Nobody gets the points and it avoids a replay. I expect the +3 goal difference will stay but EUFA are a law unto themselves.

Might be. These things can get fiendishly complicated. I'm sure the club know what they're doing. Whilst he's playing so well I don't see any need to change it myself.

Thanks for taking the trouble NickG, if we can't dream now then when?

Maneiacs

From 2006 but I don't think the criterion has changed: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/aug/23/theknowledge.sport "As a rule, if the initial attempt is goalbound it is credited to the player making the goal attempt," explained a Premier League spokesman. "However if the deflection means that a wayward effort results in a goal then it is attributed to the player who had the last definitive touch of the ball."

I don't see why we need to contribute more for the benefit of other Europeans. Most of them are living over here already

If the price is set then January or June won't make any difference. There may be other accountancy considerations, corporation tax on a new asset for example.
