We could be missing Gordon, Barnes, Botman and Burn.

Sprained Alice band.

I've said as much myself but the differences are now (or since Chelsea and Man City) much more stark. Blackburn are an interesting one e as they didn't spend as much as people assumed it was more that an unfashionable was spending. Yes they spent big on Shearer, Sutton and Flowers but the likes of Sherwood and Hendry were peanuts. Compare that with Man City and Chelsea

There's buying trophies and buying trophies though. Through the sports history the clubs with the deepest pockets have won stuff but it was really only with Man City and Chelsea that it became bottomless pockets.

Dearie me, oh what a shame.

Quality finish that, beautifully disguised.

Getting them is one thing, developing them is another. Hopefully that's all changed now.

For me it's the image of JT heading off to the changing rooms, opening his locker there and reaching for the top that he puts there every week and doesn't use........"It's time".

I dont know what I'm doing. What I'd love to do is watch it in some cosy country pub out in the wilds that has about 6 people in that aren't interested in it but be able to get back into the city centre within half an hour if we won or stay in my cosy isolation if we don't.

It was very funny when it used to happen to Craig Bellamy.

Hope his song gets belted out next home game.

Klopp didn't when they were doing well, the odd defeat he was magnanimous with. It was when Liverpool struggled for a bit that he became such a whiney twat. Exactly like Eddie didn't last season.

Ray Kennedy Shirley?

Their spending in January suggests, to me at least, a transfer ban, points deduction (possibly suspended) depending on their league position and a fine which won't bother them at all.

Plans for the cup final ? Which one ?

Beat me to it. It was David Speedie that kicked Brock. My only trip to St Andrews, a chavvy team with chavvy fans, scrappy 3-2 win we just about deserved with them forgetting about the ball at times. Nowt changed. Stan Seymour died down there that night.

If they'd lumped it from the FK and equalised he's on for extra time saving the extra sub window for if it's needed. They lump it and don't score, he walks off after 30secs.

The season we finished 4th only Brentford made more subs and they weren't usually because of injury, more so putting fresh legs on to maintain intensity. I wouldn't say he's cautious, more that we often do t have a bench that lends itself to it........yet.

Like it and my fave Stevie Wonder song as well.

Who takes over from Wilson for the other 81mins ?

Sickness bug was Man City in 76.

I judge clubs by the fans that I meet in person, not online The only ones I genuinely dislike are Liverpool, Everton, Man Utd and Sunderland.

I had the same issue with TSB. My girlfriend of the times pay would go in once the same day as our mortgage went out. We could actually get them to check their sheets to see if her money had gone in although it didn't show up on our balance but every month they'd send us the letter about being overdrawn, the fine and the charge for the letter, every month we'd have to go in and tell them the money was there and that it was there systems error. It eventually stopped when she said that next time we'd get our solicitor to draft them a letter for which we'd charge them.

And he knows he is.

Got talking to some Arsenal fans in the pub last night (they left when the 2nd went in). Nothing but good things to say about the team and city and they want us to win the cup now.
