Whitey Grandad

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

Yes, we were far too sluggish.

The first time might have been an error but you can't say that he got it wrong yesterday. He prevented a goal, what more could you want?

Give over. He had no chance with any of the goals today. The first took at least one deflection and ended up right in the bottom corner.

Thanks, interesting read. 'Pellè and Dusan Tadic were subdued, and Sadio Mané scatty' sums it up nicely.

Still some way off, I should think. Even when match fit it's going to take him 10 games or so to get back to full sharpness.

Once we slide down the table we won't get picked for TV and have silly kick-off times.
