Lighthouse

Live on SS1 this evening. In a perverse way I kind of want them to go through, if they make it to R3 I wouldn't mind another trip to Fratton. Having said that, I wont cry too much if Derby stick 5 past them.

I've been impressed with him so far. In an ideal world we'd get to keep him at the end of the season and let Kelvin and Gazza go. I'm sure there's room in our squad for 2 decent 'keepers, especially if we make it into Europe again.

I'll take a laser pen or something and point you out to them.

I think if this is Morgan's replacement and Clasie is being seen as more of an upgrade/replacement for Davis then I'm pretty happy.

Glad you could make it Erico. Where are you sitting?

I'm still trying to figure out how A Midsummer Night's Dream qualifies as a comedy.

Stephens, Turnbull and McCarthy have to prove themselves worthy of a first team place first. The fact that they are on loan at Swindon and Boro suggests they aren't. Caulker is just a loan until Gardos is fit as far as I can tell. Fonte will turn 33 next season, he's getting to the age where we need to start thinking about a long term replacement.

Or you could just stop quoting him because nobody cares what that idiot thinks.

We still need another CB.

I'd agree there is no chance, he isn't going to turn down Champs League football for Saints. He has a release fee of around £16m I thought, which is nowhere near double our record signing. Meeting that is the easy part.

I'd go with something like - - - - - - - - - Stek - - - - Fonte - Caulker - Yoshi Cedric - - - - - - - - - - - - - Targett - - -- - - Wanyama - Davis - - - Mané - - - - - - - - Tadic - - - - - - - - - - Pelle I think we need extra cover at the back as Targett and Cedric aren't quite up to the job defensively yet, especially with Clasie not being up to speed and injured. J Rod, Long and Juanmi all there is we need to beef up the attack second half

Really didn't get into that game although West Brom were hardly playing to his strengths. Typical Pulis performance, hit it long and kick the sh*t out of the opposition.

The Baggies have been awful though. No tempo or creativity apart from a few occasional glimpses from Berahino. They've resorted to hacking down City players whenever they break through.

28% possession at home. Lambert playing very deep, most of his touches are around the halfway line.

Can't believe how much space City are finding in WBA's third at the moment. The baggies just look static, no pressure and I don't think Lambert has touched the ball in the last 20 minutes.

Myhill could have had 2 pints and gone for a p*ss in between, whilst he was waiting for that to cross the line. I know he was wrong footed but wow. Going to be a long night for Lambert. Being used as a target man and City's back four are pushing very high up, knowing he hasn't got the legs.

I'd stick to talking about curly hair if I were you

I'm pretty happy with that. Missing Clasie, Berty and our yet to be discovered Toby replacement, not to mention Fraser so conceding a couple away from home is hardly a surprise. Good solid hour for J Rod too even if he did have a quiet game. Mané... If he was burying those every week he would be at Barcelona.

Amazing how Sunderland manage to stay up every year despite being so consistently awful. I think 2 years ago they got a draw at St Mary's and it was their only point in the first 10 games. I'll never worry about relegation as long as we're sharing the league with dross like this.

They had Beattie, Fuller, Delap and Higginbotham all in the team about 5 years ago.

He had a quiet performance in a game we never needed to attack. I'd start with him personally, we've still got Long, Rod and Juanmi on the bench.

Is Tim openly gay? From looking through his Twitter pictures I kind of get that impression, although I've never seen it mentioned before.

26 year old Fonte was playing League 1 football. Even in his first season in the Prem he made a fair few mistakes and was no better than Yoshi is now. I think he has the right attributes and attitude to lead the the team in the future.

Mmmmm

I might be around for this but I don't have a ST so I haven't got a Watford ticket yet.
