Although I remember him getting round the pitch quite well when he was with us, have to wonder if he’s still got that in him. The appearance he made under Martin he looked suited to the passing game, but we moved up through the gears a bit more under Tonda. Is he up to that ? JWP’s career seems to have been put in mothballs for three years.

Might have been the angle of camera but he looked pretty small in the goal. Shame he moved too soon for Salah’s kick.

The Will Salt of penalty takers.

Yes, a more polished Danny Dyer giving us ‘news’ in stuttering Estuary English. Should be restricted to broadcasting on Radio Essex or similar

I’ll bow to your knowledge of the regulations, but out of interest does it go so far as to the penalties or measures that might be imposed for particular breaches ?

Hope so.

This is probably the truth of the matter, and for me it is insignificant by comparison to trying throw a bung at officials, or seeking opposition to throw a match. Unfortunately though it gives the FA the opportunity- especially with some media interest - to make a big posturing stance.

Why only half a season, did they send him back ?

Inclined to agree, and he didn't look out of place, and no worse than others at the time. BUT, that was in one of our worst ever teams.

No substance to this but just a fleeting thought: Bringing this back to Tonda, rather than the charge, I see reports talking about Klopp taking the Germany job. Am hoping that he does not see Tonda as the bright young coach to work alongside him (ie do most of the work whilst Klopp does the media rounds). He might have considered Rohl but Klopp has placed him at Salzburg.

I think its make it up as you go along. Influencing factors likely to be, nature and size of those charged, and media furore that could follow . Saints or smaller well hit 'em hard make an example of them , Chelsea/Man City ... 'well we thought we'd impose a token fine, just to send a message out and being seen to be doing the right thing... if that's alright with you that is.... although on reflection we could reduce it a tad ...'

Having a delve through the Transfermarkt pages and found a rumour of Quarshie going to Bundesliga 2 (Kaiserslautern) for €4m.

I’d happily accept a few of those on the bounce. But it might take some heroics from Pickford with the showing of the defence in front of him. Performances so far and I think we should have taken Maguire. * * although no better than Jack Stephens according to posters on here c2014 or 15

And the £25m rated ..
