  1. Yes, seriously. I'm not saying we can't, just that we won't. We need two wins more than our rivals already and are shipping goals at a comical rate. I just can't see us getting enough clean sheets,.
  2. It certainly makes you drive slower. Some of those cars just appeared from nowhere.
  3. Bloody Sky. I won't even be able to watch the Monday night football.
  4. But your interpretation is not in the laws or guidance to referees.
  5. No, we've lost too much ground already.
  6. Yes, I got married in black and white.
  7. It's really not that easy. If it were, every other relegated club would have done it. How are Derby doing these days?
  8. Yes, seeing Lambert play like that was very disturbing.
  9. It's a hell of a lot easier to stay up than it is to get up.
  10. I'd take it back even further. The match at Blackpool at least.
  11. Then I shall freely admit that I was wrong and I might even get my hair cut.
  12. But that's the point. Success in the cup leads to success in the league. losing has become a habit.
  13. I wouldn't care if we were top of the league. However...
  14. Sounds like he's on his way.
  15. But why the reserves?
  16. Time for a change.
  17. The worst possible result. Just a solid professional performance from Leeds and a woeful lack of effort by Saints. Can anybody please convince me that this result is good for the club in any way?
  18. Didn't Blackpool rest their better players against us? What happened to them that season?
  19. Poor strategy in my opinion. Any sort of win would do wonders for confidence but another loss will just confirm the losing habit. Our players get injured at Staplewood, the possibility of injury goes with the territory.
  20. Sometimes I wonder: what is the point?
  21. Sad that we don't have a flying example. About 40 years ago we visited the aircraft at Salisbury Hall and I climbed into the cockpit because you could at that time. My dad was an instrument technician on Mosquitoes during the war. He got a flight in one back from Scotland when my sister was taken ill. There was no navigator because he was in that seat so the pilot kept lowering his undercarriage and dropping out of the clouds to take a look and find out where he was. Why would he do that?
  22. That goes beyond the instructions to referees which are that you have to be absolutely certain that no foul was committed. Don't forget that 'attempt to trip' is also a foul. Torres was actually kicked on the upper shin and although it might have looked much I have known a broken leg to happen from such a challenge.
  23. You can't blame him for the offside goal but the rest was all down to him. The second booking for Torres was a ridiculous overreaction. We were always told that you had to be absolutely certain before issuing a caution for simulation. In the last couple of weeks all the refs seem to be given them out like pizza coupons. Perhaps it's because of all the media coverage about alleged diving? As for the suggested language, according to the Mail Mikel was having a rant at him along the lines of 'aren't we allowed to question your decisions?'. Well actually, no. I just think the pressure got too much for Clattenburg and his thought processes began to suffer.
  24. 2 points a game? There's no chance of that.
  25. Are you talking about Fox or me? Fox is 26. I, however, am 63 but the clock is ticking.
