Agree with you about signing players who can offer the know how, and experience but it’s a bit of a stretch to think of Lallana as ‘battle hardened’ , I don’t think he was that even when he was in his prime.

London out of hours rates, bank holiday weekend ? Wouldn’t bank on it. (Although could have called one from Leeds I suppose).

Mention to Lord Duckhunter for popularising the name ‘Lego Head’. (Although I recall he advised it was coined by someone else, not identified).

Laughable when you remember how popular Maresca was at Leicester

Taken just before we scored. He knew something was afoot

Yes, could see some merit in the Championship, and even then a squad player. PL, not so sure given his limited contribution to Brighton this season.

Good idea. We’ll need someone to take up a position in the treatment room if Stewart recovers.

Dear Skate Cunts, Firstly we apologise for the delayed reply but we’ve been preoccupied with an engagement in London recently. Anyway, we’re going to have to decline your invitation for a visit to Notarff Krap in the foreseeable future as having checked our diaries we have a prior engagement with the Premier League. Thanks again for thinking of us, Yours sincerely ( and up yours) Dragan, Henrik, Rasmus, Katherina, and Russ.

Nice people at the club. I didn’t realise until yesterday that Wealdstone have been promoted into the National League, same as Eastleigh. On our first visit in 2017 the Wealdstone Raider was there and mingled for photos etc. No sign of him yesterday, perhaps he’s just pissed off with cameras and phones being pointed in his direction ( can’t blame him).

With special thanks to:

Wonder what happened to all those friendly folk from Yorkshire we met walking up Wembley Way? Looks as if they fucked off home early. Perhaps they had a train to catch

Yes of course, two Wilcox inspired wins at Wembley on the same weekend. The man simply has the Midas touch

As were the good folk of Birmingham of course. (Well Villa were pleasantly surprised, all else just aghast at how it played out).

I'm no fan of Wayne Rooney but that is a fair point. (put his name there so as you realise its not said about you)

…. He hates Pompey

There was a player there, but injuries , attitude perhaps …… ? Not sure I’d want to see us shelling out £20m plus on him now

Some ridiculous ‘links’ or suggestions of managers going to clubs with great aspirations and expectations, well above their level or experience ( McKenna or Enzo to Chelsea, Kompany to Bayern). Just seen Xavi sacked at Barcelona. A stretch too far to expect Martin to be linked despite his PB football. ‘El Lego’ certainly has a ring to it though.

I'll have ten pints lined up, but will be sober at kick off as unable to drink the bastards with two foam hands on.

Did it have sub-titles ? Like Carragher it would be better if he was confined to Radio Merseyside or similar.

Unbelievable, if Birmingham didn’t prove he won’t make it as a manager as long as he’s got a hole in his arse then nothing will.

Reminds me of something a cyclist might wear. You know, the lycra clad bastard too far into the middle of the road that you can't get past on a windy country road for five miles . Definite "no" from me. Think we might curse leaving Hummel.

Can understand your view , but I am then troubled by the next leap of faith, having confidence in the decision makers to get it right in selecting the next one.

Might as well stick with RM.

Difference being De Zerbi , and possibly McKenna, are overrated whilst their careers are rising so they can afford to be overrated. I’m surprised that with his most recent record ( PSG, Chelsea), Poch is still talked about for Man Utd and Bayern.

Nice one Whitey. Award yourself an MLG point.
