Lorks, I'd better not watch that then, I'm still wondering what happened to Sid and Cassie or why there was a wooden boat in the middle of nowhere in the last episode of Terra Nova.

Wouldn't come and we probably can't, expect they're already a bit miffed by us sending Taider back.

What difference would that make really.

The size of the squad might not but the contents of the communal purse probably do.

And when he did start at Hull he got sent off..he's a typical middle of the range south american player. If you want top whack it's 30 million £ and 80/100k a week, if you pay 10 million and 30K a week you take pot luck. If you can't afford the best, south americans are best left alone as far as the UK is concerned.

Rift in the Lute ?

you can probably trace it back to the Sunderland game, we might have got over confident. Too many internationals playing too many games, too many cards picked up in pointless Capital 1 Cup games, we've driven our players into the ground perhaps. They were so excited that they wanted to give up their days off, they obviously thought that there was some point in that surely.

They used to, I've had tea in pubs before, Barbara Castle obligé so to speak.

Box the little bugger's ears a bit, he'll soon knock it off.

It's not that easy, he's on a WP, means we can't loan him out in the UK without the host club applying for a new one, which he probably won't get, him being dire and all. Sochaux took a punt last year and no doubt regretted doing so, he probably on far more than a club can pay for a player of his level so we're stuck with him.

Bumped the thread on Reed for you all, see where you stood on it then. We really need to be careful what we spout to the Express/Mail when things are rough and the fans need a quick confidence fix.

Can't believe anyone is talking about relegation really, it's not an issue now and won't be in the spring time.

Only because Les said he was the best player ever to come out of our academy. Now what prompted him to say that I've no idea but when you've got a lad who's supposed to be better than Bale, AOC,Walcott and many other then most would like to know exactly why at nigh on 20 he's not considered good enough to get any game time whatsoever.

That''s what we pay the manager 40K£ a week for really to manage these situations and resulting crowd anger, as it is we've not only lost the match we've lost 2 vital players for the next game, a reserve CB for 3 games should he be needed and now have Clyne on 4 cards so one more against Everton,Palace or Chelsea and he'll miss a game a leave us with no RB. I just don't care about the C1C we should have gone out gracefully early on.

And that's the plan for this season is it, finishing mid table, I thought Koeman said we need to be Europa League this season. Still 5th but to me 5 straight losses isn't acceptable at all. Could easily be 6 on Saturday and then 7 out of 8 when Chelsea beat us.

We did that in July and August, what makes you think punting more will change anything really. We spent what 60 million £ plus the loan fees for Toby and Ryan, we need to get more out of what we've got and not just throw more money at it. Koeman needs to explain exactly why Reed, described by his homonym as the best player ever to come out of our academy, is not considered good enough to replace one of 2 first team essentials on 4 yellow cards against a 3rd division side.

As I said the other day, we have wasted 22 million on Long and Mané, could easily have kept Gaston and got a 2 million £ bargain from Auxerre or something. As for the result, I just don't care, should have played the reserves + youth , taken the front line players home after the Burnley game and not got cards, injuries and mega crowd disappointment. For me Koeman got this all wrong, should have taken Morgan off when Victor got booked, perhaps we'd already subbed 3 by then though.

Unbelievable, worst case scenario, we should have sent the U15 girls and just let it go, why oh why do clubs like us get trapped by the lure of a "final" in tinpot competitions.

New rules in Russia, 10 foreigners maximum and 15 russians minimum for each side. Maybe a few bargains then because it was any number you like and 4 russians.

Probably not the same boots though, they may look the same but they're all declined in various configurations, most top flight pros have hand made boots for every type of condition anyway. Like with Goretex linings that you wouldn't notice unless you seen them at close quarters.

What's the point of trailing someone all the way up to Sheffield to sit on a bench, Mayuka is probably equally as good as any of the U21s who played last night for that. Don't think the 2 groups train together much at all really.

Has he ever coached youth, not so sure really.

Well no, they played last night.

Cropper ?

Kind of makes sense, Bertrand hasn't played internationals this season and he gets an automatic rest against Chelsea in a couple of weeks.
