Was thinking of putting a bet on us winning the tournament. We've got a young, hungry crop of players who are guaranteed to improve (yes, I know) with tournament experience and maybe, just maybe we might just sneak it. Then I remembered we have Roy Hodgson as our manager.

Agreed. He really is isn't he? Playing more, becoming more and more influential and looking more and more confident.

Yes.

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's about it really. Oh, apart from GTFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll put a quid in the whip round. That W@NKER Clattenburg doesn't even know his own mind. The pr!ck was giving a yellow and had his head turned by the writhing and carping.

Agree with this. I haven't missed him, and I haven't had this feeling that we are sitting back trying to contain rather than going for it since he last played.

City are a fecking embarrassment to be honest.

Jesus Simo, would have thought this was interesting enough to warrant at least a few responses within 2 hours of the O.P. Oh well, it's on again tomorrow.

I find a calendar is ideal for avoiding this kind of misunderstanding (winky smiler)

wince

I would strongly bet yes, if only a couple of pedantic weirdos (they know who they are).

Never did understand algebra. Is Gaston (aka Gashton/Gashy/The Gash LOL!!!) starting or not?

Brilliant business letting Mane go twice for £30M a pop. (winky emoji)

Good question. I would like him to reconfirm his belief that we are sleep walking towards relegation and that he is being proved correct in his assertions.

Well, that feel's a lot better. Still missing chances though! I think we may have just sleep walked our way out of a relegation battle. Hopefully I will be proved correct in my assertions.

Because he is sh!t. The fact he can kick a ball more than 30 yds in it's intended direction was enough to make him appear the required antidote to the joke options of Davis and Gazza whilst FF was injured. However as the season has worn on it has become abundantly clear that he is somewhat lacking in the save-making department, so much so that Gazza now genuinely looks like a better option. You couldn't make it up really.

ME. Apart from his kicking he's fecking ****.

Scored against Arsenal. Then again, so did Long (x2!) - Just imagine the uproar If we bought Grabban for £8 Million

Sadly this is the conclusion I am coming to. Pressure's right on now to prove it's not the case but some of his substitutions and the timing of them leave you questioning if he's really up to it.

The bloke is all effort and no skill, composure or finesse. Chances to goals ratio must be absolutely shocking. Glaring miss against Palace, glaring miss today, 2 glaring misses against Arsenal (didn't see Wham but sounds like there was one there too). Sadly it simply is not good enough to put in all action displays and then **** up all the chances your hard work earns you.

Absolute ****E. We don't create much but even worse we don't seem to realise when we have created a chance. So feckin ponderous and indecisive.

"Right lads, when the ball is rolled back to you by one of our defenders I want you kick it weakly straight to an opponent thereby putting us in immediate danger of conceding a goal"

Utter rot old boy. Thought the big African chap had his best game of the season.

Sadly it is entirely possible to be a truly awful premier league goalkeeper and still be better than Davis. Gazza ticks the first box, jury's out on the 2nd.

Agree with most of that but I've read it too many times now to just ignore - In the context with which it is used above the word is DEFINITELY not "defiantly". "Pacific" in lieu of "specific" is the only effort that comes close.
