Would you want to live in Leeds, capital of NorthernMonkeyLand ?

Good luck to Matt. Scored our first competitive goal of the new era. I wish him all the best.

He can play against Ipswich, I beleive.

Excellent news. Well done AP and NC.

In your opinion. People are really bloody nasty about Wotton on here, but there is a fair amount of evidence bouncing around that we play better as a unit with him in the team. Why is the abuse he gets acceptable, and my comments about Lallana and Schneiderlin not ? Aaaaah, bless them, they're little 'uns...

Tell you what, heres a REALLY bloody outrageous left-of-field idea. Let's buy someone OK, I'll indulge you despite the sneering. Schneiderlin still disappears from games, just like Oakley did. Not good enough, we need 90mins output consistently each game. I said we cant play him and Lallana together, not that we need a whole new midfield And you are a deluded happy-clappy.

Ooo, er, we are all sorry for speculating Mr. Goebbels.

Kindly point out where I wrote that we should do that. Mental

And the usual foot-stampers are screetching at anyone who dares to question a player, the manager, the team or the club. I was harsh in calling Lallana a f**ker. But the orginal post is correct: he is a reasonable yet frustrating player, has potential to play at a higher level, but is woefully inconsistent and not dependable. We cannot afford the luxury of him and Schneiderlin in our midfield, imo.

At this stage, I am inclined to agree.

Wow, what a surprise !! Kraft are leaking that it is too late to save Keynsham

Cool, maybe Mr. Next Target will score the second

Ah, so you agree its ability rather than age that counts ? Splendid.

Seems we are carrying MORE than two then, because I reckon Schneiderlin fits into this category too.

The age excuse is getting tedious now. Ryan Giggs, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney were winning games week-in, week-out for their teams long before now. I'll accept that he hasnt matured sufficiently to be at the peak of his game, but FFS lets drop the pretence that it has anything to do with age.

Do you agree that AP should play his in-form players, and that if a player has lost his edge he should make way for one who is firing on all cylinders ? Whether you like it or not (and I concede it could be down to team tactics and playing style, but then he shouldnt be playing in that position as he doesnt fit APs game plan), Lallana's performances have lost their sparkle, the same way they did last season.

nonononono - he needs to give his a body a rest from the "relentlessness of his profession", the poor darling.

Complex b*ll*cks written by a total tool. There are other types of fatigue than just running around a picth kicking a ball. You get a grip Mrs. Lallana.

hehehe

Never had a lot of time for the "knackered" argument, to be honest. He wants to try juggling a full-time job with big responsibilites, 3 young kids and a sick wife if he wants to understand what "knackered" means. Personally, I would drop the f**ker during patches like this. I find it bizarre that Papa cant get a full game, or even a full half.

Funny how the ref only ever notices our players..

Need to go shopping. If we dont, the league campaign is over.

Worth appealing ?

Can someone explain what Scheiderlin got sent off for, please ? I missed the game completely.

That is not what he said, my friend.
