No, it wasn't like that at all. Productivity was woeful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_practices

Cambridge would be good. I once did the halftime summary for the local hospital there when Kevin Keegan was still playing for S****horpe.

Sometimes all you want is a plate of egg and chips. The eggs must be runny enough that you can dunk your chips in them.

Isn't that a leveraged buyout?

You really don't have a clue about the working practices of the time. Today's working environment is totally different from the 1970s.

Me too. These youngsters have some funny ideas about what life was like in those days. Oh, and as an aside I see that Arthur Scargill's still doing alright out of the miners' union these days.

Yes, quite restrained really.

Have you tried adding some smoked salmon, with some lumpfish caviar on top and washed down by a few glasses of Buck's Fizz made with real orange juice?

There are a lot more people in the country now, and a lot mor people working. The unemployment figure is the difference between two big ones.

Did you spot all the product placements in Fargo? And have you tried 'A Simple Man'?

I'm just glad he went for precision instead of power or he might have missed it. Perhaps he was caught in two minds as to whether to guide it out for a corner or lay it back to Hart. I bet he doesn't even know himself.

I agree, didn't need a thread to itself.

£15.25m not enough? How much did they want for him?

Please, that was an unnecessary comment. Just because someone points out an error which, fortunately, turned out not to be significant does not make them 'idiots' in any sene of the word.

I'm not really moaning, whatever it looks like. I'm overjoyed at the performance and the result but there's always room for improvement.

I'm in Kingsland central and I only heard their fans once.

I don't think he knew himself. I suspect he was trying to put the ball out for a corner. It was comically slow. That's what can happen when you get worn down and hustled. Strachan used to say that when you get physically tired you don't think straight.

I'm not blaming him alone for the goal, the whole team were involved, I'm just saying that he could have done better. It all happened too quickly for him to react. If he had assessed the position more quickly then he was in a position where he could have covered Zabaleta, but he is what he is, that's not his fault but it's why he's not a top-class full-back.

Yes please, where do we fancy?

Well they couldn't both lose, I suppose. At least they don't have to play each other again and could lose all their remaining matches.

Fox had got himself comfortably goal side of Zabaleta and was in a position to have intercepted.

Yes it was, but Fox was back in time to have covered the left flank but instead was draw towards the centre where somebody was already there. He was chasing the ball instead of defending his position.

I watched it again this morning trying to see who should have picked up Zabaleta's run. Yes, it was Fox. He also ha a wobbly when he dwelt on the ball on the touchline just after their goal. He did a lot better than I was expecting though.

Who needs subtitles? :cool:

¡Gracias, Señor! Más de lo mismo, por favor.
