Dark Munster

Spot on. I was (still am) worried that this was going to be another Nicholl->Br*nf**t and Luggy->Wigley/Saggy disaster. We all know the rumours that Puel lost the dressing room (or at least some of the senior pros), and if so it's not just Reed and the fans that are to blame. Anyway, what's done is done, and it's far too early to write off MP. Defensively we're light years ahead of 2004/5 (even in goal if FF can replicate today's performance). So maybe just a Redmond-Gabbi swap can kick-start the season.

Claude was.

They want more money for the same reason the 70-year old multi-billionaire Koch brothers want more money (who buy politicians to lower their tax rate and gut environmental regulations to increase their profits). Greed.

And Big Vic. It was certainly a terrible decision. I don't know what the hell Puel was thinking.

Make a sentence out of the following words. Saints. Brothel. Score.

In fairness, Lukaku looks to have been a brilliant signing. Oh wait, they sold him. Sorry.

The big boys already make a mind-boggling amount more from marketing than provincial clubs like us, not to mention from the CL. And nothing wrong with that, but what they want now is pure greed. Yes they could argue that overseas viewers tune in primarily for them, but they should be content with their current massive income advantage.

We are only an Aguero away from being a very strong team.

Maybe because he made an excellent stop and had no chance with the rebound?

Nice. But are they real?

Yes indeed. Shane won a lot of the long balls lobbed up front, but was isolated too much. I think he and Gabbi could work well together if given the chance.

I agree.

Where's wadesmith?

Ok Of course, I will hold you personally responsible if we do.

Never simples against their attack. Anything over 100 and I'll be nervous, especially with Middlesex winning (thanks a lot Lancs, again) and Yorks probably winning early tomorrow.

254 all out, a bit of a recovery. Essex 15-3. The other matches all seem to be low scoring as well, and wins for Yorks, Somerset and Middlesex are all very possible. Looks nervously over shoulder.....

Or like we did against Watford for 90 minutes.

Indeed. It's too early to be dancing on his grave.

I always said Cuco got a lot of unfair stick on here. Maybe he's not as good as Cedric defensively (but wasn't bad), and going forward I think he puts in better crosses.

How about playing all four?

Yes we did. Massively. Hope the sell-on clause is big enough (if we even have one).

I'm not sure what your point is. Take away good players and a manager will likely struggle? Yes, that was my point. RK was a good manager for us? Who's arguing? Puel was not forceful enough to convince the board to bring in more players? Who knows, but that's a strange reason for the board to sack him.

I think you mean the other dog.
