Really, strange that, I remember us winning the odd game or two in the Lowe era, maybe even finishing in the PL top half and getting to a Cup Final. We've done very little to crow about under Cortese given that we have spent more money and racked up more debt than Lowe would ever dream about, apart from SMS that is.

one of the great advantages of beng older...top bands still played Unis and you got to see them all for virtually nowt. With a bit of hitch hiking about a week-ends, staying with your school friends at their Unis you got to see them all . Big blow outs like Bath and the Isle of Wight helped. 40/50 top bands in the space of 3 days for very little money.

As far as I can see at the start of the half Schneiderlin is covering the right side of the defence so Davis should be covering the left. Yet Fox gets stranded with a 2 on 1 in the movement that leads to Odemwingie scoring (good striker, fast and scores a lot from outside the box, always has, hits it hard, keeps it low and gets more deflections than you'd think, take note Mr Lambert) surely Davis should be over there helping out Fox cos Gaston and Adam...well forget it.

Not really, injury time can be manipulated by substitions and players rolling about on the turf just because they've had a bit of contact. A substitution adds on 30 seconds extra time. 6 subs is 3 minutes.

I've watched it twice and haven't seen Davis do anything whatsoever yet. Third time lucky maybe. In our half we seem to have an effective midfield of one.

In fact I was pretty chuffed when one of them ran over a granny in his Mustang, meant I would never have to see them again...anywhere. I mean when you've seen The Stones in Hyde Park, done Cream's Last concert,know a couple of lads from Tull, been there done that at the Isle of Wight and Bath...well the Bay City Rollers is just shameful, jeez I must have been smitten, mind you the blow jobs...out of this world.

some gig that would have avoided me being dragged to see the Bay City Rollers at the Gaumont, anyone anywhere that would have saved me from that ignominy, think I had to go in disguise in case I saw anyone I knew, ah the crazy things you're prepared to do for women.

Apparently it's got something to do with "playing football the right way" or so Nigel keeps telling me. Now to me playing football the right way means that after 95 minutes you've scored more goals than the opposition or at least an equal number. As my old school motto says (or said when it was a real school) Respice Finem.

Worked for Chelsea and now it's worked for Celtic. Cassius Clay called it rope a dope

Must be a forgery, the instructions are coded. Something like GHDE56KLPD°°°S3FV21++. Depends what sort of Enigma machine Nigel has.

some might say that was a punishment for drunk driving, although with the way we're playing ATM playing 90 minutes every week is more of a punishment.

Exactly what I thought. Perhaps Barca getting knobbed by Micky Mouse Celtic has convinced someone that perhaps the Barca way isn't the only way.

Although I suspect that with the first team playing on Saturday along with the U18s and the U21s on Monday we just wouldn't have enough players to go round if we lose 3 U21s for an England friendly on Tuesday.

what giving him another 3 weeks ? you are not wrong.

We're probably concentrating on winning the PL U21 league or something. Is there a trophy for that? They have a game on Monday don't they?

He doesn't want to play wide, he's a number 10, why pay 15 million € for a number 10 and then try to play him wide, horses for courses. At best we need to go 4-4-1-1 with Lallana as the unique wide man aided and abetted by one of the CMs. Morgan looked very handy going down the right against Fulham actually, good speed, good running off the ball and good crossing. Pity Lambert whacked them all over the bar or wide.

can they turn down a selection like that without being sanctioned ?

named after the album by Don Fagen who we all know is an ancient member of Steely Dan. In fact Rickie don't lose that number (of goals scored) is quite apt really.

Indeed, it's not the players it's the manager's use of them. Since he has started wanting to play both JRod and SRL again we've gone tits up. Nigel...it's JRod or Rickie but not both.

no, Mary Corbett.

Ah no,that's down to the transfer commitee I'm afraid. Who is to blame is the idiot who wanted JRod at all costs last summer, there was plenty of time to get him in January. I do not doubt that was someone who thinks he is in with the England set up. We did not need JRod,Mayuka and Lambert when we had Sharp and Lee in reserve.

Trouble is our powder puff defence needs 3 CMs in front of it so there are only places for 3 attackers and you've got 4. The Man U set up was the right one.

Lallana isn't a CM, he's an attacking player. If we do not stop trying to shoe him in somewhere where he doesn't fit we will suffer. If you want to play 3 CMs it has to be Cork,Morgan and either Davis or JWP..same formation that was reasonably succesful at the start of the season. Then choices have to be made cos there's 3 places available for front men and we have a whole lot of them, you either have to drop JRod or Lallana if you want to start with Ramirez and SRL.

Yep, our debacle is all his own work. It's about bad management and bad coaching. Then, again with Wilkins involved in it anywhere what can you expect really.

I know who h is, not sure that I give a sh*t about his opinion though. Woeful,woeful footballer.
