If the PL press were looking for somebody to step into Holloway's shoes, it looks like they've found one.

Wise move to keep Rickie sidelined. He's had back trouble previously, and it's over compensating for minor muscle niggles that can lead to more serious muscle injuries elsewhere. Anyway, I think Rickie's in Roy's "I don't really need to see him in an England shirt any more to make my mind up" category, and his Brazilian destiny will be determined by his form in the League for the rest of the season.

Are they mutually exclusive?

Raised it so far that 10 of Newport's first team couldn't stand the strain and had to be rested?

Yeah, shame none of the fullbacks in the tightest defence in the Premier League are English, innit?

You haven't watched the Hull game, have you?

He went way too far in the last month or so of his "campaign", egged on by the idiot masses on Portsea. He went much further than we did on here, it was pretty obvious that somebody would shut him up. He was lucky it was only a law suit. I've got no sympathy. He could have written one single letter to make this all go away. He alone decided to gamble his family's security on a maverick pitch to get himself catapulted onto the Pompey board, and it backfired. He has to pay the price. Like most of the problems down that way, where he is today was perfectly predictable and avoidable.

I eat beef casserole and dumplings in July and salad in January.

Then we'd have people to clean the bogs at St. Mary's

Tips? Or Tooltips?

I've had 2 'C' Class over the years, I wouldn't have another. Dull Looked long and hard at 3-series recently, but put off by servicing costs - maybe not an issue for you, or me even, I just don't like being ripped off. Never really been interested in Audi. I am now looking very hard at the Passat, or more likely the CC. The 2-litre petrol models with 6 speed DSG gearbox look like very good cars.

Extra maths classes?

Apparently not. Seems we would have to eat cake.

Yes

Wow http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/gol...nge-Dubai.html What could it be? Flange? Clunge? Miʼnge? Nope. None of the above

Still one of the Premier League's record-breaking managers.

I see Roma conceded a goal today too

I have to say I agree totally. Really looking forward to the games as well, taking on the best of the best on equal terms.

Well I, for one, have learned a lot from Guly. Until he arrived I thought that a Brazilian was a "haircut".

It really isn't, TS. They are a right bunch of w*nkers at the Reserve Bank.

Except when he gave away a penalty, eh?

That's one of ours. I recognise the ATM.

Surely those geeks sitting behind a monitor in Cheltenham watching you eat your coco pops right now could take a look at that instead

I don't believe you

That bit I can agree with, but many seem to be demanding it right now. In my own opinion, a team that is stabilised and consolidated in the top third of the premier league is much more likely to achieve success in European qualification and domestic cups in years to come. We aren't consolidated there yet, but I'm pretty sure that's where the focus is, and with Cortese's dogged perseverance, we will be in the near future.
