Colos Short and Curlies

There’s one in Paris

Well it's what happened last time we played them up here. Might have been an injury time winner from a corner. I remember it being very late on anyway. Hazy memory but wasn't it Cleverly with the last touch of the game? Aye think it might have been. Stupid looping header, should have been a goal kick as well iirc

Venison will always be threat overhead kick clearance in the league cup

Whatever the score, with Jose’s record we’ll do them in the return fixture

But who would bring the fittest fans? To be honest just for that reason they should have been kept apart in the play offs

Nike - the cage 98 had better Nike adverts mind

Love to see how hippo copes with all the small number 10s Everton have. It will be a stop gap January then a rebuild when he leaves at the end of the season after finishing 17th. I’m always amazed nobody takes notice of what happens to his clubs once he leaves, it’s no coincidence they all struggle badly

That decision making by West Ham at the end.

So do we reckon Messi is a Rafa type player?

Palace, Huddersfield, West Ham for me. Everton 4th bottom

Liverpool have knocked her back twice, even after she offered £1.2bn. I'm still not clear whether it's her offering £1.2bn or she's doing it on behalf of some other party. If she is looking to buy a club personally then she'd want Liverpool I'd have thought, since that's the club she supports. Why would she want to spend a daft amount on a club which she doesn't follow? See Ashley, Fat Mike

To be fair when touting himself for the Wales job pre Coleman all Hartson could say is ‘no one will be more welsh than me’. Sums it up perfectly

I’d say more 2-1 after being one up in the 90th minute

One thing with Ashley, if he is in anyway involved you can guarantee that HMRC will be all over Sports Direct for years to come looking at every single tax angle they can. So even if we’re fucked, he is more so

Even before the weekend I had noticed a shift in how we were being written about in the press, it really does feel that something is up, what though is unknown

Fancy Gayle to cause problems against these second half, as long as we keep it on the deck

What a Newcastle goal to concede

I think you’ll find he’d shag you, only it would be meticulously planned love making

Doesn’t Gayle like scoring against these lot coming off the bench? Motto and Shelvey in for Joselu and Hayden 4-3

Only one person involved in our last 2 cup finals (both teams and management) is still active in the professional game (excluding punditry). Thigh to be fair Wenger will still be Arsenal manager in another 19 years time

Not surprising to me. Academies/Centre's of excellence have a piss poor record of developing players who go on to have a full career in the professional game. I really think that youth development should be taken out of clubs and put into regional centre's with a broader access point and a focus on the kids' development, not the club's interests. Would love to see it run through universities, a bit like in the US. There would still be affiliation to the areas where professional clubs are to allow sponsorship and support, and it adds in a bonus that those who don't make it get some form of education to support them afterwards

Not if your postman is incredibly handsome. Here's hoping, wouldn't want him stuck with my looks

Away fans were in fine voice for 90 mins today, great job. Does taking my pregnant wife to the game count as taking my boy to his first game?

5 rows and a Perspex screen between me and Pardew, offers for a hit?

4 Spaniards in the starting 11 potentially today. What was our peak with the French invasion?
