I totally agree but, that said, AL, on yesterdays form, needs to play off the front pairing, which would make us too narrow in a 442. Yesterday, with 2 proper forwards on the park, the game would have been won by 1/2 time.

She is used to being ignored.

The M6 is the same. How often do I see wagons pull out causing drivers to brake or swerve and then see the driver on the phone!

As I have Flashman on block he can right whatever Sundance wants. I tend to ignore the mentally ill.

The thing that surprised me yesterday was how close you could park, for free, to the ground! We parked on Warwick Rd, by the Lakeland Gate pub, 3 min stroll to the ground and 3 mins to M6 J43. I usually expect to see yellow no parking cones around a ground.

Don't feed the not very witty troll.

I also thought the pompey stickers in the urinal trough was a nice touch. Always nice to ****** on them.

You weren't in a silver 5 series BMW were you? One, with 4 saints in, went past me around the A6 Snap junction like a rocket, and I don't drive slowly myself!

I thought that Lallana was MOTM. His 1st touch and ability to turn away from challenges at the same time constantly gave him space. Unfortunately, with no midfielders breaking beyond him he often had the space to play a killer pass but no one ahead of him. I also thought he should have scored 1st half when put through but I may be doing him an injustice regarding the angle considering the angle we were watching from. AP has an interesting problem I agree, does he play 2 up top and AL behind in the hole or just Lambert up and AL off him? Either way AL, yesterday, was the best player on the park IMHO.

I have a compaq mini and it's the mutts nutts and cost less than £200 on ebuyer.

I disagree with Shurlock on the chance, it was a sitter that I'd expect to be tucked away. The nipper made the mistake of going near post instead of across the keeper IMHO.

Carlisle to South Staffordshire in 2hr 15mins and that was going some!

921.

Only a class 1 mong would disagree.

He should have buried it. In fact, with a little composure in front of goal we would have been a brace up by then anyway! It was also noticeable that very loose ball in their box was just out of reach etc...... I thought we played them off the park but just lacked that killer edge in front of goal.

You really are very, very, boring.

Just walked in. Haven't read the post match thread. IMHO if was two point lost. Excellent support though.

Leaving in an hour or so and I'm confident of a decent win.

I think Sundance is upset as Rupert only had his ringing endorsement to read out compared to the many for MLT.

Matt will be back soon, by then Mr Bi Polar will have "flipped" and be loving him again.

I spend quite a lot of time in Europe and have sims for Italy, Spain and France. Much cheaper option.

I agree. I believe in targeted education is a tool out of poverty. I work with adults all ages, colours, religions etc and one group is Pakistani mums as the local Imman (born and bred Black Country) believes that showing that women within their community can succeed and value learning will trickle down into family units. It's great fun to do but it has taken an enlightened Imman and some bloody hard work to get it sorted. The previous Imman (brought over from Pakistan) didn't last long as he declared it unislamic for women to drive cars! It's going to take a generation but it can be done. Education and opportunity will defeat all forms of extremeism.

I believe that a large proportion of young Pakistani men are caught between two cultures due to being born in the UK to parents born in Pakistan. It's these young men, more often than not from pretty grotty areas, that are preyed upon. They are British by birth but often feel so disenfranchised that they are easily manipulated. It's not about immigration for me, that argument ceased to be logical a very long time ago, it's about countering Islamic extemisim here and now. My way is via education but there is nothing racist is saying that it needs to be tackled but I readily agree that it is a banner that the far right are prone to flock to.

Another of Verbals innocent asians going about his business.

Apart from the 2nd to bottom one they are all pics from either Reuters or were taken by the staff photographer at The Birmingham Sunday Mecury and are of the EDL protest in B'ham. The bottom one is WM police and not the Met, although the blue on the high vis does look similar. *Just reading on the WM police site that four different forces were invloved so the met' could have been one I suppose.
