Dark Munster

A substitute today for Stevenage, at age 55. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/11/dave-beasant-stevenage-substitute-age-55

Isn't sound/video syncing a problem?

Having said that, the whole idea for having overseas PL matches is bollocks. Maybe have some FA cup matches (between PL teams) instead.

Well if it's a 39th game, why not let it be a final game "position" match: 1 vs. 2, 3 vs. 4, etc. Potentially quite exciting matches at both the top and bottom.

You don't have to be a top footballer to be a good manager. Many top managers were, at best, mediocre players. And as long as the muffins are well secured I don't see a problem with him being near our club.

Backup front man and GK needed then.

1. Spurs played well, we were mediocre. 2. Who give a **** that Forster was a bit dodgy with a couple of crosses today? It didn't cost us a goal, and we still have the best defensive record in the league. 3. Why the complaints about big Vic's substitution? At that stage we were desperate for a goal, and shortly afterwards his replacement Long was very much involved in setting up that sitter for Mane (who duly missed). 4. Will RK keep his word and not make shit when we lose?

Agent Connolly = legend. It's bloody annoying, isn't it? I've been trying for years to find a way around that shit*. * That word has just been uncensored now that Ronald uses it in pre-match interviews.

Always said Nigel Pearson is a good manager.

"We don't make shit when we lose." Have to have that one in this thread.

This. Plus make it a straight knockout (like domestic cups) from start to finish.

I think it's more of big Vic playing so well.

Rhetorical question, I assume.

Beaten? Possibly. Comfortably? Doubtful. We have one of the best defensive midfields, playing in front of quality defenders and goalkeeper. Barring injuries and sendings off I can only see Citeh and Chelski being able to beat us comfortably.

Except it didn't.

Ditto. Similarly when Pearson was given the boot and replaced by the two Dutch jokers. Thankfully, this time we have a Dutch genius and his brother.

One substitution rule I'd like changed is not have goalkeepers part of the quota of 3, provided the sub GK comes on for an injury. That would avoid the Blackstock fiasco, where I think 2 of our 3 used subs were also for injuries.

Rather than doing a snake dance, couldn't we just give him one? As a token of our appreciation.

Corrected for you. Koeman out!

Brilliant article. Was that really written by a QPR fan? If so, it's extraordinarily insightful from a fan from another club. I would say he should become a journalist for one of the big papers, but he's too talented for that.

So basically we're damned if they do play for their country, and damned if they don't.

Probably. But that's what we thought about Palace last year, before Pulis performed his miracle.

I don't think these are criticisms, rather fond observations. After all, we all love RK (at the moment at least).

His English is a lot better than my Dutch. And his Dutch accent isn't as strong as the Brolly Wally's.

Agreed, a good solid back-up goalkeeper needed. Unless Boruc gets back in the pram, bringing his dummy and toys with him.
