  1. He didn't react quickly enough.
  2. That's not necessary. I remember thinking at the time: that player's free. Who should be picking him up? Guly's only a few yards away, why doesn't he close him down? Kelvin should have that. Oh bugger, he's flapped at it again.
  3. Was bundled of it a few times, to be fair.
  4. What were they thinking?
  5. I'm normally a Guly supporter but even I noticed him strolling back with his hands in his pockets. I blame Kelvin myself, beaten at the near post again. It was a well-placed shot but not that fast.
  6. Three wins, or two wins and a couple of draws should be enough for promotion. Beat Reading and we have a reasonable shout for the title, but we desperately need to stop leaking goals.
  7. I too thought that Kelvin should have done better for their first goal. He seemed surprised by it. I'm normally a supporter of Guly but he was a spectator today, especially when he stood and watched McGuire take his shot. What on earth was Adkins thinking when he sent Harding on in stoppage time? It wasn't football out there today.
  8. He took a while to get some control of the game but by then the pattern had been set and Morgan had been clogged out of the game. I saw Adkins giving him a mouthful after about 5 minutes. I suspect he was reminding him of his responsibilities to the players' safety.
  9. The Lino flagged for offside for some reason. Lallana took the corner, their player kindly headed it up and towards goal and Sharp bundled it in. I guess the lino thought we had headed it. Fortunately the ref put him straight.
  10. I'm still confident, but I must admit that I did look up the playoff dates for May.
  11. Number 5 could be moo. That is m - roman for 1000 - with two more zeros after it.
  12. Yup, works for me. And squawk is definitely correct. Now for the numbers.
  13. Well done! that's teamwork for you.
  14. 15 could be 'cluck' Well it could in Scotland
  15. 13 could also be 'honk' (geese)
  16. Sorry whibble, I've got the sun on my ophone
  17. 6: bleat It helps if you do crosswords. Bleat is an anagram of table.
  18. Is 19 squawk? I have no idea why if it is.
  19. A clepsydra was a water clock, basically a big tapered vase with a hole at the bottom to let the water out slowly. From the Greek for 'water thief'. Think of kleptomaniac and hydrous. The vase was wider at the top because the pressure was higher there and so the water would run out quicker. I don't think there's an animal that makes that noise though.
  20. Sorry, forgot to refresh. 17 is definitely howl. Howler (big mistake) without the er (hesitation)
  21. Hoot should be 13 (motorist) not 12.
  22. I've never smoked but I know plenty of smokers who've given up through hypnosis, or even hypnotherapy. The cost is guaranteed. I've also seen two very close colleagues & friends die from lung cancer. It was awful to watch and extremely painful for them. Good luck to you mate, if you really want to you can!
  23. 2: oink Lunchtime now, 6 grand kids arriving, good luck with the rest!
  24. 17: howl
  25. 13: hoot
