I'd take that. In order to cut-out it would have to have cut-in in the first place. Still "Connecting to Stream" after well over an hour. Thank god these people don't do blood transfusions.

He's quite comfortable in midfield and like a fish out of water at right back. Losing Murty is really bad news.

I don't know, dammit.

I'm really, really bored without Saints Player, the incompetent b*stards. Did anyone notice that Uganda has banned female circumcision? So they damn well should.

Fricking Saints Player my arse. What an incompetent bunch of b*stards.

Speaking of listening is anyone getting any sound yet?

Thanks, Dave. Cheeky buggers. I'll have you know this is a fine city - one that (unlike others I could name) has won numerous Stanley Cups. It's just a little chilly here in the Winter, that's all. Today is a less than balmy -25. Santa will end up with four kidneys if this doesn't improve.

True, Prof. But one of those teams was ... Walsall. I suspect that the discussion inside the dressing room, but certainly not outside it, is that missing the playoffs would be a failure. Build the confidence and then re-set the goals.

I'm going to venture the opinion that we need to think very seriously about buying a quality keeper. Kelvin is at that point when injuries are going to come more frequently, and when the recovery to full match fitness is going to take longer. I loved his loyalty at the start of the season but I'm not sure he's going to be durable or reliable enough to take us into the Championship - and beyond. Bart's psyche is very fragile and we can't afford that in a promotion push. It will be more exploited the higher we go, and it will worsen as the pressure increases. It may not be the "sexiest" expenditure of limited transfer funds but I think it might be one of the wisest.

And lots of nibbly bits.

Now I understand why you were so keen to know how many wins it would take. Needless to say, I hope you cane the bookies!

I think that the back row could be strong with someone like the Perry of five years ago playing alongside Jaidi, but his age is working against him now. He reads things quite well but lacks the speed we need to counter Jaidi's lack of it. Bart worries me. He was shaping up so well at one point but seems to have very fragile confidence. One mistake, or near-mistake, and he becomes dodgy and unreliable. Forget him coming for crosses. Not the ideal situation when combined with a lack of decisiveness in the middle of the back four. Hopefully, KD will be back early but the only alternative is to cure Bart's head problems or spend money on a keeper in the window.

Dead right, Andy. Dean Wilkins talked about the impact of a complete lack of confidence within the club, and about how long it took to change that. Now we've seen a total reversal of that, and it's reflected in their style and the results. We can't knock the ball around the way we do without a high level of self-belief. Although they'll never say it, AP and Co must think that missing the playoffs would be a major failure.

Fantastic. We're clearly one of the top three sides in the division and we're really settling in with our formation after a lot of new player arrivals. The only downside right now is that we're on the verge of several suspensions, but hopefully we have enough depth to ride them out.

Not for the first time we're getting close to having more away fans than home fans. Keep winning and it'll happen somewhere.

He's pulling their strings.

I wasn't referring to the prediction, but to you calling someone a "negative ****". It tickled my fancy.

Print and frame, please.

I think this commentator's playing some kind of buzzword bingo. He bet someone that he could slot words like "ubiquitous", "genuflected" and "inclement" into a footy commentary. I'd prefer "all over the place", "thought about it" and "p*ssing down".

Not guilty, m'Lud.

"Genuflected"? He needs counselling.

I love this board when we're winning and hate it when we're losing. Bipolar big-time. (Hope that's not un-PC )

Is that where the "whistle" bit came from? I love you just the way you are.

What are you doing here? Go back to the cooking.

Harding must be close to suspension territory.
