Whitey Grandad

Some useless match facts to ponder: Man Utd had 6 touches in our penalty area, we had 32 in theirs. They had 3 shots on target, the lowest for them in any Premier League match since August 2003.

He looked out of place alongside Fellaini but didn't do anything wrong.

I've noticed in the last few games that we seem to have started making passes without looking. Just before Fonte's horror pass Bertrand had done the same thing and passed blindly into blank space.

You have to consider the overall picture. 3 games do not a season make.

All good points, particularly the lights. I could hardly see a bloody thing. The ones round the rim of the roof are ok but the ones lower down are glaringly awful.

If you pay everybody more and put prices up you have inflation but nobody is better off. Better quality doesn't of itself lead to more profit, and I see that there is no profit in your figures. And you're comparing burgers with pizzas which are not the same thing, although neither is a meal.

No contradiction there. Inflation leads to less wealth, not more. Demand won't increase if your prices go up. How can companies lose business to competitors who charge more?

And Fonte's sloppy back pass, and Pellè's blast over the bar, and Long's missed opportunities, and...

Guly would have been better tonight.

Home draw Nice

They only pay tax if they make any profits.

Quite so. The league table means diddly squat at the moment.

Yeah, so what's your point?

Where would you prefer to sit? I might be able to call past tomorrow.

YES, YES and thrice YES.

Long shots.

Mané was shît. We were too wasteful up front and made two sloppy errors at the back.

And many of these staff have children of their own, also at school.

If you increase the cost of running a company then their prices go up and they lose business and they will have to reduce their staff unless they can increase their productivity. You can't just issues an order that everybody should get paid more or you'll just end up with inflation and nobody is any better off. The money just isn't there in the marketplace.

There is only finite money to be made in the economy. If you raise the cost of labour then you will reduce the number of jobs.

Or not getting drunk? After a staff lunch we once put a colleague on the train at Havant so that he could go home to Stoke for Christmas. Luckily he woke up just as the train pulled in to Waterloo. Unfortunately he was a few hours late, he had slept up to Waterloo, then down to Portsmouth, then back up to Waterloo again.

Unless it is done through the official channels, of course.

But who's going to be the bottom three?

And Chelsea get 6 minutes of injury time.

Our loading gauge is too low so we can't run double-deckers.
