My friend moved to the north of England a little while ago. Apparently, people - who he must now call colleagues, unfortunately - refer to cheddar as "white cheese". Animals.

A very boring cheese. Agreed?

And a defensive midfielder.

iPlayer is geo-blocked. It usually carries all BBC live TV though, so I would expect our match to be on it. So, if you wanted to watch it overseas you would need to get round that geoblocking...

Only if we are willing to pay the transfer fee.

Goa the owner, FFS. #Goaingmental etc.

Actually, on a serious note, I have ceiling downlights in my kitchen. They are simple halogen bulbs. However, the bulb fitting is deeply recessed inside the wider light casing. I can't get a replacement in because I can't see what I'm doing to line up the connections or twist the fecker in place. I even got a little tool that sucks onto the bulb that you can use but I can't get that to work either. Should I just be pulling the whole light fitting out of the ceiling?

Throw a tennis ball at it.

Yeah, he hasn't got the legs to play week in, week out in the PL anymore. When fully fit, a class above any of our midfielders but he's obviously decided to move on.

If he's fit then certainly don't see why he shouldn't get a game against Derby. He's not likely to do worse than Long and Austin and he's got more claim to a place than Johnson or Barnes.

Ah, you've seen the PM then. #mess

I would pick: ------------- A goalkeeper -------------- ---Vestergaard--Bednarek--Bertrand--- Valery-----Lemina--Romeu------Cedric ---------Armstrong---JWP------------------ -----------------Redmond--------------------- Bench: GK, Stephens, Targett, Slattery, Long, Austin, Johnson

Hamstring injury.

If only. You can't unsee it.

PM is NSFW.

It doesn't whilst Romeu is fit but he's the only one we've got. If we can strengthen there we should. Just a sign of how poor the squad is. One decent striker. One defensive midfielder. One right back. Loads of poor centre backs.

If I was MLT I would want to know about Goa, his intentions, his background and where he borrowed the purchase money from before accepting. But Matt does adverts for Skybet so I doubt he gives a ****.

Any chance of Bertrand, Ings or Obafemi being available?

Sounds like he got carried away and later acknowledged he'd been a knob. Do you have any friends and have you ever been in a decent sports team? I have (both) and some people acted like far bigger knobs than that on occasion but were still nice fellas. Anyway, I don't really care if Bellamy is a knobber or not so I'm leaving it at that.

Has Hoedt been rumoured to be going anywhere? Not even in the squad yesterday so clearly Ralph has no intent of selecting him anytime soon. If we can shift Davis, Gabbi and Hoedt I don't see why we can't go for it least one ambitious signing.

Really? Everyone I've heard who speaks of Bellamy says he's really nice guy off the pitch. Keane is obviously a total ****-head, I agree there.

Certainly a tactic Stephens is a big fan of.

Rubbish today. Redmond 9 out of 10. Everyone else 5 or 6 at best. When I saw the team and the shape I wasn't expecting us to play like Brazil but tactics and shape are no excuse for failing to play simple 15 yard passes or for terrible decision making. Still, I count 8 players absent so you could say a draw us a decent result in isolation. At least we'll know who we're playing before the replay and whether it's worth going through or not. Also, could Hojbjerg use up his last match ban in the replay?

Exactly.

There's a week between the two games. No need to rest everyone. My guess is that Bednarek might get a rest as he's played virtually every minute under Ralph, I think. Sounds like Targett is back, which is good, so Cedric can play RB. Probably a back 3 of Stephens, Vestergaard and Ramsey. I'm guessing JWP will continue in CM. Romeu probably rested. Slattery and Armstrong behind Long. Just a guess.
