Our performances have not been appalling, just the results. If he refrains from playing our best players or substitutes wrongly, for me, it's he who's performing appallingly.

It didn't stop little Miss Porcelain from dining at Nandos last night and sticking into Christmas Diiner down at Staplewood today.

Yesterdays substitution of Cork while leaving Rodriquez, Lambert to play on was one of the decisive factors as to why we capitulated ad lost a winnable game. Let us not forget what we then thought as Harry's abismal run of 11 draws, at least it earned us 11 points. If Pochettino doesn't get us points over the holiday games, I can believe he's been found out, and will struggle for the remainder of the season.

I reckon he's holding back to nearer the World Cup before making a concerted effort to win a place on the plane to Brazil. I also believe Pochettino's doing his head in as well as one or two others. I stated weeks back we need to score goals otherwise we'd drop down the league. We're slowly losing the plot and the Christmas games will show just how good Pochettino is. He came unstuck today big time. Had a strong team been played we could have won this game. To hell with saving players for Thursdy. It doesn't work like that.

Biggest mistake today was taking of Jack Cork. He was playing pretty good ad was instrumental in our first goal. He did well when he moved into the center of defense. No wonder they got their 3rd goal when he was taken off. Should have taken off Rodriguez or Lambert who were appalling today. Chambers at left back would give Shaw a run for his position. Getting better by the game. Gallagher should have come on earlier. Another star in the making. We're just 7 points better off than last year. Will be interesting if Atkins tally doesn't top Pochettino's come mid January. Pochettino waited far too long to make the substitutions and got it very wrong taking off Cork

Fox did okay today and doesn't deserve the constant witch hunt. It was Chambers, or absence of, that let Soldado through and bring the ball across for Adebayor to connect with and score. Gazza and Jos had a nightmare game today.

With all the experimenting today at left back I can seriously believe we're considering selling him. As said above, made of glass and maybe the right time to cash in before he gets permanently injured. Thought Chamber makes an excellent left back and one of those moves stealing the ball ad storming away with the ball was sheer class.

Someone from our bench spat into the face of the Newcastle coach. Spitting sounds like what Oswaldo would find easy after playing in Italy.

Pochettino's already top of the list for the Italy managers job.

I reckon they'll go for Alan Pardew although Pochettino could be in the mix

Perhaps this won't get around to affecting consumers in the UK this time but a huge overnight operation by the police has uncovered a immense new trafficking of HORSEMEAT here in France Illegal horsemeat Operators have been found in 11 departments still processing horsemeat to be sold as BEEF.

INFO. From the pharmaceutical industry to the food, the horses passed the state of guinea pigs than victuals. An extensive police operation was triggered on Monday morning in 11 French departments in the course of an investigation against traffic horse meat and meat wholesale. Investigations conducted by the research section (CT) Languedoc-Roussillon in the conduct of a judge in Marseille aim marketing of meat of horses that have previously been used to search for pharmaceutical companies and laboratories, as well as horses equestrian centers that are also found in the consumer's plate, said a source close to the investigation. Hundreds of horses involved. The case concerns several hundred horses allegedly involved in scientific programs between 2010 and 2012. The animals were used in particular by the pharmaceutical company Sanofi, on his Alba-la-Romaine site in the Ardèche, before ending up in the food chain after falsification or retraction of their veterinary records. This is an anonymous denunciation end of 2012 to the Aude towards protecting people who triggered the investigation today conducted as part of a judicial inquiry headed by a judge of the health center court Marseille. Twenty arrests expected. Monday morning, hundreds of police acting in the south of France, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Midi-Pyrenees, began to question twenty people , Has to sources close to the investigation. The police have arrested a man and Narbonne in the Aude, apparently at his home before taking him to the site of slaughterhouses in the city could find the offices of his company. It is precisely a trader Narbonne which is suspected of being the organizer of traffic, according to a source close to the investigation. These inquiries should be accompanied by raids on the headquarters of meat traders and, to a lesser extent, in slaughterhouses, with the participation of the National Brigade of veterinary and phytosanitary surveys. Research has also been conducted into the premises of Sanofi and a slaughterhouse in Girona, in Spain, on the other side of the border, said one source. Falsified documents. At the end of their use by laboratories, carcasses of horses would normally be incinerated. Problem: The cost of this operation is high. According to our information, the laboratory animals sold for ten euros a trader. The latter was then a great deal by selling himself to the beast a slaughterhouse at a price between 500 and 800 euros. For this, the documents enabling the traceability of horses were falsified: a forger located in the Alpes de Haute-Provence and have helped establish many false documents. Veterinary three accomplices from Gard, Drôme and Cantal are in turn believed to have contributed to the "bleaching" of horses. According to preliminary results, all these operations have been carried out without the knowledge of Sanofi. For now, however, the company refused to comment on the dangers of consuming horse meat from their laboratories. . Investigated and two tracks All these elements are the latest development of a broad survey of horse theft and trafficking in equestrian centers: saddle horses that are found in our food, something completely prohibited. Prosecutors in Marseille investigating 3,000 cases in all of France. "The horse riding school in particular for example, which would end his life peacefully in a meadow and which ends at the slaughterhouse when he received medication unfit for consumption had been making," said a source close to the investigation, "and then the horse had laboratory with two cases. Either he used to take blood samples for the manufacture of vaccines, or it was the guinea pig in research." "This does not mean that there was a risk to the consumer, but anyway, these horses should never have to be in the consumer's plate," she has said.

Another pathetic story hitting the papers in the morning http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-ham-transfer-news-sam-2931893

In today's top level football players don't have the luxury of having time. That is why bringing in players from overseas is such a huge gamble. Suarez didn't need time. nor have many of top signings for other clubs.

Bet Sam has one of those heart attacks he has when results don't go well. Can't have long.

My Windows 8 computer is down so I'm not able to see how Simple TV is working. About 2 weeks ago it was working fine but don't know what version I was up to. Being Portable I install and test all versions. To reinstall just delete all the files in the SimpleTV folder you download to. Portable Applications don't install anything onto your System and are contained within the Folder. You can install and run from a USB key and take with you and plug in a home or work On Wiziwig forum there is a SimpleTV thread where I find myself the main replier to problems following the death of Dead_Man_Walking. The Error message was dealt with and it seems it's the program one uses to UNZIP that is the cause. Trying using 7Zip indtead of WinZar or Winzip which is free and can be downloaded at Filehippo http://www.filehippo.com/download_7zip_32/ Check out the SimpleTV thread on the recent posts/ Ignore freaky33 the guy screws up on everything by impatience. http://forum.wiziwig.eu/threads/69235-Simple-TV-Player/page17 Remember for the latest playlists to go to http://www.tvonlinestreams.com/ There are other sites that you can find by googling for SimpleTV playlists. A further helpful tip to watch quality football streams is to download the latest ACE STREAM PLAYER AND BROWSER PLUGINS . There are Windows and Mac versions. http://acestream.org/ Follow the install instructions carefully. Well worth it. I have a good playlist for Ace Player Sports Streams if anyone wants.

Late last night Talksport had a 2 hour Sporting Lives about Lawrie MacMenemy. Featured Jim Steele. Mick Channon, Tommy Docherty. Missed the first half but Talksport should have the podcast on line later today. Some very interesting revelations.

What version of Windows are you using? Could be a compatibility issue that you can resolve by right clicking SimpleTV icon and looking at Properties and Compatibility. Do you have Netframework installed? Go to Microsoft and download the latest version. A reinstall may resolve any issues. Just reinstall over the top of your initial installation. Or delete the entire Simple TV folder and then install again.
