His defending is so much better than early season, gets closer and timing for challenges etc. Still does a bit on the fly when reading defensively but loads to work with.

But Tino.....

And if so a change in style. Current set up doesn't lend well to 2 bombing on fullbacks.

I get where you're coming from but depends on fee and if he wants to go (great mentor etc). Tonight he wouldn't have played if Tino was fit.

Best player on the pitch tonight on both teams. He's come a long way in a year. Gonna be (hopefully) awesome.

Hope so times a million.

They're also fouling him as soon as he tries to turn (amrabat 3 times).....Anderson 1 foul...booked.

That foul is always given. Also watching again he deliberately tries to run across the back to initiate a "tangle". If not where the fuck is he going ?

Puts his foot down his ankle enough to rip his sock and probably break skin.. you say no pen. Aye righto.

Yeah you are watching a different game.

Who's on ? On my way into town so can't see it.

Both benches look strong by name so I'm guessing many of them nowhere close to 100%.

Well funded I'm told.

He's available to Liverpool at that price. Obviously more to us as he should actually be paying them for the privilege of blah fucking blah.......

And I've heard decent atmospheres there, they can get up for it even with those issues, but in general they don't.

There were 1237 respodents to the annual survey. Is that representative enough given the demographics ?

Doesn't matter if its meant for football as its all down to the fans isn't it ? "We'd bring it with us".

On the other hand look at West Ham. The three Hammers I know have all said the atmosphere there is shit since their move. I'm going to at least wait and see what the plans are for SJP. I very much doubt it'll be a bog standard "just extra tier" on the Gallowgate and there's also space to expand backwards from the Leazes and let's see how creative they can be with the East Stand.

I'm the wrong side of 50, closer to 60 and I've never been more excited about where the club is going. That includes under KK.

2 games left this season, next season starts on the 17th so 2nd weekend is 24th, and his ban ends on the 27th no ? Don't tell me there's an international break after one league game ?

Don't think so. Only if behind closed doors I think.

4 more games I think.

Europe is the one and only incentive as far as I'm concerned. Not bothered where they finish so long as we finish as high as possible.

And been in the knockout stages of the Champs league.

But they dont seem as interested in closing some loopholes as others. How long did it take, mid-season, to have a special meeting to ramp up FMV just after our takeover compared to Chelseas 8yr contract wheeze and this new one?
