Whitey Grandad

Yes he is why shouldn't he be? The only reason against would be if his parent club were to refuse permission or if he had played for another club in a previous round.

We are very probably paying for these two pro-rata anyway.

Which paper was that, Manchester Evening News?

Pleased for Rickie but disappointed that Liverpool won.

This. I suspect that the assistant's thinking was so obsessed by the position of Pantilimon and the need for two defenders that he overlooked the timing of the pass. The referee should have overruled though.

It was goalie's ball all the way. Gardos was the only one you could possibly question because he ought to have read the situation better and have had more confidence in Forster, but this is down to needing more playing time together.

Very impressive. Strikes the ball well, holds off opponents and doesn't hesitate when he spots a chance. Just what we needed.

You think that's bad. Some of us remember the days of black and white telly when a cup final between Everton and Liverpool or such like was grey against grey.

Good point. This is often overlooked.

The deficit would have grown even further under a Labour government. Turning round an economy takes years, not months.

You're being deliberately obtuse. They didn't promise to eliminate the deficit on the day after they got elected, as you well know. At least now we're heading out of the hole instead of deeper into it.

How quickly do you think it could have been sorted? 4.5 years is not unreasonable, but we're certainly not out of the woods yet although we may be heading in the right direction at last.

It takes two teams to make an exciting game of football. Ipswich just weren't up to it.

Falcao did his ACL. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2544676/Falcao-refuses-World-Cup-cruciate-injury.html

I was neither of those and certainly not concerned. It takes a lot to get me worried these days.

A mistake is not a mistake if it's deliberate, and here I have the advantage over you in that I know what I was thinking when I made that original post and you don't. You never will, all you can do is project your own motives on another's actions, which is never reliable. Anyway, in the words of the song:

Not a lot to say about it really. Very pleased that we've gone through but disappointed with the injury to Vic.

If I made a mistake I would be the first to admit it. If it ever happened I take it you're not married?

I'm just trying to be consistent. To myself, that is

This is what started it all: http://www.fallondfloor.com

I meant if two English teams win the two European cups and neither finish in the top 4 of the league. I was wondering if there was a limit on the number of teams from any one country. Capital Es because they're not languages

Thanks for that. What happens to the winners of the FA Cup if they're neither top 4 nor winners of either of the European cups?

Too good not to share:

Both for me too. There may be no trophy for 4th but there is a crack at the Champions League.
