Quite. If Boruc has been pegged as not up to it then we need another keeper in Jan or we need to get KD back in goal and try to keep his confidence up. Frankly, with our back four now looking much better and a decent run of games coming up I would have a high level of confidence in KD not to let us down. Gazza has the attributes of a really good keeper but should be out on loan for now, not being our Number 1.

I don't really understand people saying they would take a point. Norwich have not won an away match and have only scored 4 goals from 7 away games. Only four teams have conceded more away goals than them. They only have two points more than us. Our creative trio behind Lambert are all in good form and we score an average of 1.7 goals a game at home. We have no known injury problems. We should win. That doesn't mean we will but there's no reason to settle for a point.

Reading the stuff coming out of the PST, I'm not sure they really understand what they are doing.If they can't raise enough to have more than 51% of the shares in whatever the new company that owns the club will be called then all they are doing is providing free capital to some property developers. All they will have is a blocking vote over special resolutions (assuming they can raise enough for 25% of the shares) but they will have no realy control over the business of the football club.Fecking hilarious. No doubt they will still bang on about it being the biggest and bestest fan ownership ever (despite all objective evidence to the contrary). What a bunch of utter divs.

A firm of solicitors who did some work for one of the PFC entities claim that UHY should have treated their costs as part of the administration costs and therefore paid them some money out of the funds available to UHY. The judge said they are wrong and UHY were right. End.

Just had a look. First one looked like an, ahem, anticipatory fall although the defender did dangle a leg which probably made Ramirex think he was about to get swiped and you would not be at all surprised to concede a penalty if your defender made that tackle on a Man U / Chelsea / Arsenal etc.. player. Second one you couldn't really tell as the angle wasn't great. Don't think it was a dive but maybe just a stumble. Rodrigues' goal was onside though. FACT.

Nothing to comment on really. He's just not in the squad because we play with one striker on the pitch, we have four senior strikers to choose from and none of the other three have been injured for a long period recently. If Rodriguez, Mayuka or Lambert get injured then I'm sure we will see him back in the squad.

Lol. Obviously not.

Hopefully for the same reasons we would happily lend Forecast to a rival.

Yes, that well known football chant sung at players having a bad game. We certainly all know what you are.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'll assume the sarcasm in my post wasn't obvious enough... It never took off en masse (presumably because most of our fans aren't morons) but there was a pocket to the right that tried to sing it a few times. Quite pathetic.

Just wanted to say a big "well done" to the divs singing that yesterday. Brilliant stuff. It's racism but without actually saying a naughty. Very witty. Hats off to you. Thick fools.

They can't start next season in admin, can they? I thought there was an FL rule about starting consecutive seasons in admin.

Anyway, his set-pieces are a far bigger crime! Useless!

So, basically, what we're saying is the ref thought Adam dived in the first half. Instead of taking the correct action (yellow card and a free kick to Swansea) he booked him for a non-dive in the second half and turned down a clear penalty. And that passes for decent refereeing in some people's eyes?!

Sadly I think it is getting to the stage where a new manager may be the only chance. Nige shows no sign of being able to make us difficult to beat. If that remains the case then bog-standard teams like WBA, Fulham etc will take enough points off us for us to be relegated. It's a shame because we have enough talent to do well but we are just too easy to score against.

If you think SRL might score the first goal tonight there are some great prices to be had. For example, on Will Hill he is 8/1. If you're feeling a return to our classic away score line of 1-3 to us is on the cards, a SRL score cast to that effect is at 175/1. Fingers crossed Saints fans. We shall see!

Could be noncesense.

Newell's Old Boys.

Quite clearly, this is spot on. Some people are depressingly stupid!

That's what I would pick for this one too (although if Richardson or Ramirez are fit they would probably be included instead of Fox and Lallana).

"I read a book a week"... From Wiki, some of this is uncanny (see bold underlined).... Finch is an outside sales representative for the paper merchant Wernham Hogg, in whose Slough office the show is set, and as such is frequently on the road. He is probably the only character in the series who is genuinely cruel and occasionally turns up at the office, and when he does, the boss David Brent (read, "Docker-p") is ecstatic because, in his opinion, "Finchy" is a wonderfully charismatic wag who is constantly coming up with terribly witty remarks and rapid-fire repartee. When Brent's face is pasted on a pornographic image, he is upset with the prank until he learns it was the work of Chris Finch, at which point Brent rapidly changes course and claims to find the joke funny, even refusing to apologize for reprimanding other employees who laughed at the joke. David describes him as his "best friend" but actually acts more like a lackey, laughing at his jokes and attempting to ride his coat-tails into the limelight. Finch repays him with disdain. To most other people in the office, however, Chris Finch is just a rather obnoxious, arrogant and sexist loudmouth whose jokes are crude and offensive (e.g. "What's the difference between a fox and a dog? About eight pints of lager!"). He has a natural flair in bullying others with swift, humiliating putdowns with many of his jokes directly aimed at Brent in the cruellest way imaginable. Only Gareth Keenan shares Brent's admiration for Chris Finch. Finchy also claims to be a very successful ladies' man and manages to have sex with a worker in the middle of the company car park. Finch claims to read a book a week, to have thrown a kettle over the roof of a pub in Chichester and, according to David Brent, has an IQ of 142. He comes from Yorkshire and supports Leeds United F.C. Chris Finch is also very competitive and a very bad loser. He is filled with indignant fury when he and David Brent come in second place to Tim and Ricky at the annual company Quiz Night. After the quiz ends and everyone is gathered around the pub, Finch says he can beat Tim and Ricky at 'loads of things'. He suggests a throwing contest, in which the winning team must pick something for Finch to throw over the Wernham Hogg building. If Finch does so successfully, Finch and Brent will be declared the "real winners" of the quiz. Tim and Ricky do not agree to the challenge however this doesn't seem to matter to Finch as he successfully throws Tim's shoes over the building, at which point he and Brent relish in their victory obnoxiously and take the bottle of champagne that Tim and Ricky were awarded for winning the quiz. Finch tells Tim and his quiz partner Ricky to "respect [their] elders," and "not **** with the big boys." During the end credits of The Party Finch is shown to be having sex with Trudy. At the end of part two of The Office Christmas Special, Brent finally appears to lose his starry-eyed appreciation for Finch's humour and his tolerance for Finch's bullying treatment of him; following a typically snide and coarse remark from Finch concerning his blind date by calling her "a dog", Brent tells Finch to "**** off." Visibly defeated, Finch appears to be lost for any sort of comeback once his target actually stands up to him.

Yes, he was. In completley unrelated news, I wonder if this will decline in value somewhat at any point in the future..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-20123378

I agree with both of you, sort of. Fox is clearly painfully aware of his limitations as a one-on-one defender. So he covers them by standing about five yards from his centre back when adopting defensive positions. This means he hardly ever gets beaten on the outside. It also means there is absolutely no need for the attacker to beat him on the outside as he has enough time to saunter to wherever he wants with the ball anyway.

I have seen him play twice in the first team. He looks better going forward than defending at this stage in his development. I would say Fox is better right now - although Fox's positioning is often bizarre he does at least play a part in quite a few of our goals with his deliveries. If Richardson is fit I would go with him at RB and Clyne at LB sooner than throwing Shaw in. Not many 17 year-old defenders play in the Premier League.

Boruc was probably the only member of the starting XI who didn't really do anything wrong yesterday. He had no chance with the header (we gave Spurs far too much time to isolate Clyne in the air against Bale, particularly Yoshida who gave Defoe far too much space in the first place) and you can hardly blame him for getting beaten in a one-on-one (if anything you could say he forced Defoe into a weak effort which the defence should have mopped up). Fonte and Clyne both should have done better for the second goal. I know Fonte slipped but I think he should have blocked it pre-slip and the slip was probably down to a lack of balance from poor footwork in any case.
