Whitey Grandad

Even fewer think seriously But you're quite right about this. It is a sad fact about modern society that many people let others do their thinking for them.

Yes, contact is irrelevant. The wording is "strike or attempt to strike" and there was definitely intent in his actions. He might well have caught his opponent in the eye, not very nice

I think it's more a matter of disturbing their concentration.

Or even more intelligent to realise that they were both at fault. As I pointed out in the match thread, there were a lot of blind passes on Monday night, José's being the worst.

And you believe all that?

Time to bring this up again:

Nobody would ever confirm or deny that information was extracted.

No problem, we'll be top 4 by then ITV are really crap on football, though.

They would say that, wouldn't they.

Smart work! Well done Whelk.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned that free kick that he played to himself.

Another of those great nights of a European football at Anfield

On a related topic, why was Greg Dyke sitting in the row behind me in the central Kingsland?

I just wanted to see if he'd thought this through

It's when he's missed six chances in a row that I start to get nervous in case he fluffs the next

He needs half a dozen chances to score, unlike RVP or Agüero for example. But that's why he didn't cost as much.

In an ideal world, at what stage of the season would you like to see us reach 40 points?

Who do you mean by this? Are you talking about the single mothers with two kids who have never worked and have chosen to have a life on benefits?

Just in time for our second cup rup then

We spend over £200bn a year on welfare, how much more do you want?

The only favour he gave us was not sending off Mané or Jose for those tackles late on.

You cannot possibly blame Forster for the first, that was entirely down to José.

We shouldn't have made a substitution when we were about to defend a set-piece.

I haven't seen it again but my recollection is that there were a couple of others free round the back with RVP. John Boy Saint makes a good point about the led floodlights. That cross went very high before dropping beyond the far post and the glare may have dazzled some of them.

It used to be called a tax allowance. Now they take the tax off you and give some of it back.
