Whitey Grandad

Well at least we should be able to count on Long for next Monday. How's JWP getting on?

Whatever the problem, I'm not convinced that Mayuka or Mané is the answer.

My thoughts exactly.

Are you thinking of a blown head gasket? Normally any coolant leak is fairly obvious because of the colour but if there are no obvious signs then it must be going somewhere.

It involved your mate Boruc who is still a Saints player and has been mentioned in this thread. Forster is a far better keeper than him.

Quite right, I've just looked at it again myself. Jose plants his left foot and then his right leg swings round and catches Aguero on the ankle. Aguero has seen it coming and is already putting on his agonised expression before the contact is made. The tell-tale sign that he is making the most of it is that he makes no attempt to get over the incoming challenge but actually swallow-dives over the incoming leg and throws both his arms back. Having said that it was a 'trip or attempt to trip' and should have been a penalty but Aguero's theatrics were enough to persuade the ref otherwise.

There was a seller in Britannia Road after the game with a big pile of them still unsold. The only thing you could do with them was buy two and cut them in halves.

There's nothing in the Laws about it specifically but the original directive was more about tackles like this:

He's ok, but at the right price.

Bournemouth lost a 2-0 lead with Artur in goal.

No it isn't.

It wouldn't have been a red as there were others covering and Agüero wasn't running towards goal but even so it wouldn't have been pretty. Once they scored it was always going to be a struggle.

Hello Irene, what went wrong on Saturday?

Yes, very important. At 150mph the car has 9 times the kinetic energy as 50mph.

As well as a few million quid.

Bit late for us, although I can't blame him for our loss, unfortunately. This lack of a game is effectively a fine of a few thousand pounds for him.

Not really. He can't hold a line and play anybody offside.

If the defence had been doing its ob properly then neither action would have been necessary.

I thought 17th was all you were aiming for?

Up to 3 after yesterday.

I see Boruc let in a couple of goals himself on Saturday to lose two points

Agreed, not even a smell of a fart.

I'm with you on this. Why is anyone having a go at Forster? Nobody could possibly argue that a different goalkeeper would have made any difference yesterday.

Losing one game doesn't indicate a loss of form.

She's no spring chicken but I would
