No idea? Seems a strange thing to fake...

That isn't a proper dead leg then. Trust me, a bad one can put you in hospital.

Sounds like a very bad dead leg, I've had one where I couldn't walk properly for 6 weeks, so wholly probable.

He was out of position though on the left flank, that was the initial mistake trying to shoehorn Rodriguez in.

He also didn't have much support when he came forward, we look to play that diagonal ball to the far post too much in that second half, so everyone runs away from him.

I hate the fact that we are now playing our best player out of position to accommodate an NPC striker. Stick Guly on the left if need be and Lambert up top and accept that Rodriguez is not a player for NOW.

As I said last week, Guly should be starting ahead of JRod.

I want us to win, doesn't mean if Manager I'd make the correct tactical decisions.

Jos isn't out of position, Yoshida is.

Ref has been first class today.

Will taking Lambert off be another?

Puncheon is very dangerous isn't he?

They are one of the worst teams away from home in the league, so I disagree.

If we don't beat Fulham today I worry for us, one of the worst travellers in the league.

Interesting... Apparently, this was actually recorded during the last series of "Have I Got News For You" when Jimmy Saville was a guest on Paul Merton's team. Incredibly, it didn't make our screens. (It seems that Mr. Merton doesn't like Mr. Saville very much) Out-take 3:09'36 During the headline round: DEAYTON: You used to be a wrestler didn't you? SAVILLE: I still am. DEAYTON: Are you? SAVILLE: I'm feared in every girls' school in the country. (Audience laugh) DEAYTON: Yeah, I've heard about that. SAVILLE: What have you heard? DEAYTON: I've... MERTON: Something about a **** with a rancid, pus-filled cock. (Huge audience laugh; Awkward pause) SAVILLE: I advise you to wash your mouth out, my friend... MERTON: That's what she had to do! (Audience laughs) HISLOP: Weren't you leaving money in phone boxes or something? (Saville glares at him) Or have I got completely the wrong end of the... SAVILLE: (To Deayton, heavily) The question you asked was about wrestling. DEAYTON: Yes. And then you mentioned girls' schools. I don't know whe... SAVILLE: Well I understood this was a comedy programme. I realise now how wrong I was. (Audience laugh) DEAYTON: So were you a professional wrestler? SAVILLE: Yes I was. DEAYTON: (To audience) Glad we got that cleared up.(Pulls face; audience giggles) HISLOP: Feared by every girls' school in the country... SAVILLE: That's right. MERTON: Due to having a rancid, pus-filled cock.(Huge audience laugh) DEAYTON: Erm... HISLOP: You're on top form tonight, Paul... SAVILLE: (Strangely) I'm...this is not what I... FLOOR MANAGER: (OOV) OK, do you...(inaudible section)...shall we, for pick-ups... MERTON: I'm terribly sorry. I don't know what came over me. SAVILLE: A pus-filled cock, I imagine. (Shocked audience laugh) MERTON: Oh, it's nice to see you joining in. We'd been waiting for you, you sad senile old ****ter. (Audience appears to do double-take) DEAYTON: I think we...d-d-you you want to apologise to our guest, Paul? MERTON: Sorry, I do apologise. Sir senile old ****ter, is what I meant to say. (Audience laugh; pause) Sir senile old ****ter...who ****s minors. (Audience unrest) HISLOP: Sorry, I'm just looking at our lawyer again. (Waves) Hello! (Audience laughs) DEAYTON: Shall we get back on course with this, or sha... SAVILLE: I do **** miners, that's quite correct. I have always done so. They can do the most wonderful things with cigars. The coal... MERTON: What, they stick them up your senile, pus-filled arse? (Audience laughs) FLOOR MANAGER: (OOV): Come on...I'm getting an ear-bashing here. It's... MERTON: Oh they want to continue. Sorry, I'll contain myself. Carry on... DEAYTON: Right (Pause) You used to be a professional wrestler didn't you? (Huge audience laugh) SAVILLE: (Calmly) I did. DEAYTON: You didn't have a nickname or anything? SAVILLE: Yes - 'Loser'. (Audience laughs) ___________________________________ Out-take 4: 21'20 Following a discussion about caravans: DEAYTON: Last month, Roger Moore sold his luxury caravan in Malta. Asked by the... MERTON: I visited your caravan the other week, Jimmy. SAVILLE: Did you really? MERTON: Oh yes. Interesting what you can find, if you have a bit of a poke. (Audience laugh) HISLOP: He just told you, it was twelve years ago... SAVILLE: No, I lived in it for twelve years. MERTON: And ****ed twelve year olds. (Audience laugh) DEAYTON: Here we go again...I'll be backstage if anyone wants me. MERTON: (Indicating Saville) That's what you said to the kids on your show, wasn't it? (Audience laugh) SAVILLE: No, they never did want me. HISLOP: Not even Sarah Cornley? SAVILLE: She was an exception. DEAYTON: Who's Sarah Cornley? SAVILLE: Sarah Cornley is... HISLOP: About fifteen grand in damages, wasn't she? (Uncertain audience laugh) SAVILLE: That's right. HISLOP: So if I was going to mention that you threatened to break her arm if she said anything... SAVILLE: You'd be very wrong. (Pause) I said I'd break both her arms. (Audience unease) MERTON: ****ing hell. I mean, you're just sitting there, all shell suit and cigar wearing those ****ing...I don't know what they are. SAVILLE: Chrome-plated SC-700 sun-visors, these are. Sent to me by... MERTON: We don't give a ****. Ladies and gentlemen, Sir James Saville OBE. Jim has fixed it for me to have my arms broken. Meet this depressing old ****ed up **** of a ****er on television who's riddled with cancer and ****ing pubic lice. HISLOP: (To lawyer again) Hello! (Audience laughs) MERTON: Christ, I mean ha ha, big ****ing joke - the ****ing lawyers are involved, tee hee. It doesn't change anything. DEAYTON: (Visibly out of character) Do you wanna stop, or...? MERTON: No I don't ****ing want to stop. It's all ****! You'll expect a comedy walkout in a minute, won't you? I mean, big bloody joke - I'm going to quote Shakespeare in a minute, how ****ing out of character. And Ian knows about football - oh my ****ing sides. SAVILLE: You've never ****ed anyone in your life, boy. MERTON: Oh **** off... FLOOR MANAGER: (OOV) ...About five minutes, just to...(Phil Davey enters) PHIL DAVEY: OK, well top that as they say. You're looking troubled by that, aren't you mate? I tell you, I came back from Amsterdam recently... RECORDING PLACED ON STAND-BY; CUTS BACK TO CLOSE-UP OF DEAYTON AWAITING HIS CUE DEAYTON: OK. Second time lucky. (Pause) Last month, Roger Moore sold his luxury caravan in Malta. Asked by the New York Times about his relaxed acting style...

I'm very surprised that people thought we spent all that money (not on the defence) without having to borrow..? Clubs borrow money, and to do so they have to secure the loan. The safest and most reliable income for that is future season ticket sales, that's all. Bet you'd all be more worried if secured against St Mary's.

In the middle of claiming on a parking sensor. So far, so good...

So you still think playing JRod out of position is better than playing Guly? I don't, and I think it was a mistake.

JRod...

Fine, he hasn't made any tactical mistakes then, have it your way.

Guly as an attacking mid is what you need, as shown when he came on against City.

With Guly being more dynamic in the centre it means that Fellaini would sit more not allowing them to overrun us in midfield.

Thanks for that valuable input. Fyi I am writing on my phone and you can't edit titles.

To be fair I'm not a football manager, but here goes: Gazza Richardson Fonte Yoshida Clyne Davis Ward Prowse Ramirez Guly Lallana Lambert Standard 4-5-1 to 4-3-3 (obviously defence and attacking formations)

No, the point was that the tactics didn't cost us the game, m'kay. So there were no tactical errors that cost us the game. Peeps, please read the post. The point I am making is not tgat he doesn't get the tactics right eventually, it's that a lot of his tactics are costing us games.
