What did Clatterclunge say?

Who cares? We're obviously fed up with him consistently giving major decisions against us wrongly or inexplicably and are trying to avoid having him as a ref.

Basically, we think he's a **** and we clearly think he has not reffed our matches properly. We are trying to ramp up pressure on him I guess. I think it is utterly absurd that he was kept away from Goodison Park for so long. He is either a competent ref or he isn't. Whoever decided that was an appropriate way of dealing with the situation is an utter fool.

We may as well put a cheeky call in for Messi and Rooney at the same time.

: lol : Nutshell.

I would pick : KD Clyne - Font - Yoshi - Fox Cork - Davis JWP - Reed - Ramirez Lambert Subs: Gazza, Chambers, Jos, Morgan, Targett, Gallagher, Rowe/ Isgrove That's assuming Osvaldo isn't fit. If he is then I would play him. I would like to play the strongest possible team but I really feel that Lallana, Rodriguez and Shaw might benefit from a break. I would also give Lovren a rest to give Yoshi a bit more game time.

Yeah, those are the only explanations. He can't have just had a bad game against a very good team.

There were times when I could have strangled him but, you know, I would hate anything to happen to him.

I know, I know, It's serious.

Haha!

I generally agree but I think their chances of Champions League football next year are about 5%. I don't think they will finish top 5, nevermind top 4 and I can't see them winning the CL this year. He might want to join but we would want at least 30million and they might not be willing to spend that much on him.

Lovren definitely gave Gazza a bollocking in the second half. I like the club's measured approach to transfers but if we're going to keep players of Lovren's calibre happy we need to show him that he won't have to play alongside vastly inferior players the second we get an injury or two. Lovren, Clyne, Lallana, Shaw, Morgan, Osvaldo, potentially Ramirez... We need to sign or produce players at that level to keep growing or we will struggle to keep some of them.

No chance, the dream machine of Lampard and Gerrard will carry us to Qatar '22 and beyond.

Most of the pubs in town should be fine.

It's constructive dismissal but so what? Compensation is capped at about 70 grand so that's hardly material. His contract will no doubt contain something that enhances that. The law isn't really relevant.

Baruc has been good but it's not great that he has no serious competition and he's no spring chicken. Goalie, centre back and attacking mid/ wing are the three areas I would like us to strengthen (less so the latter if we have any faith in Gaston).

We would have beaten Sunderland and West Ham I expect. Tempted to say Villa too but that was such a freak game I doubt it would have mattered. We were very lucky to play at Anfield when we did!

His oppo.

Running round an empty terrace on your own at a youth match then getting bundled down a stair well by the stewards and handed over to the cops.

To be fair, that has been the weakest part of his game! There was a family of divs behind me leaving the ground on Wednesday slagging Shaw off. "can't attack""don't know what they see in him""sell him to Chelsea" etc.

If they really have sold 500 and policing is light it's definitely going to kick off isn't it? If not at the ground then somewhere?

If Morgan is fully fit I would bring him in for JWP but otherwise unchanged.

We won't finish above Arse, City, Chelsea or Liverpool. We almost certainly won't finish above Man U. Everton are also looking good. I would say we could finish above Newcastle or Spurs but it'll he tough. Outside those, Swansea are the only team who could come close IMO. We are significantly better than average mid table teams and will finish between 7th and 9th, I reckon.

Shame if he's injured but CM is probably our strongest area in terms of quality in depth so it's not the end of the world. An injury to Clyne, Lallana, Shaw, Lovren or Boruc is worse news. Sadly it seems Clyne and Boruc are also injured!

Exactly right.
