I did it last Sunday at 6pm. Plenty vehicles. Once you're past Wetherby you're cruising.

Nolan's footballing ability is the karma for that one.

Neesy?

I'm not far off the M60 at junction 13. But driving into the centre wouldn't add more than 10 minutes.

8-hour round trip? It takes me 2 hours, 10 minutes to get down to Manchester. Only if you go when there's little traffic and drive like an idiot. Do you drive a Micra? The only delays occur in North Yorkshire. The rest of the journey is straighforward, even at fairly busy times.

Jonas Olsson. And yes, he has.

Man U, Liverpool, Sunderland.

Danny Murphy said all the right things, like.

Bent over backwards for Portsmouth.

Count against what, Xisco? Shola and Lovenkrands are pretty poor footballers who've mostly demonstrated this for the best part of a decade, Xisco isn't, that's just my opinion. If we're going to play the stupid stats game, Xisco could actually be made to look better than Ranger, Loven and Shola. But he's only started 3 league games for us, so stats are a bit pointless here. Unless you're a small-minded old bigot like Mick.

I'm not sure Xisco has proven he's a better footballer than the rest while he's been here. It's just an opinion. Lovenkrands is 30, invisible outside the box, has iffy finishing and pretty much relies on a lot of chances being created and poor defending in order to be effective. Best has a very poor touch, shares Shola's clumsiness and has a poor goal record even a tier below. Ranger could very well amount to something at Championship level or above but he's a striker still learning to be a striker. He should be getting games in a lower league and learning his way up. Shola, i'm not even going to bother. Leaves Xisco and Carroll, there's no reason the pair of them shouldn't get a chance to play together at SJP.

That's at least the 5th time i've seen you post that in relation to myself, Dave. Anyone would think that you want a bite.

It's a lesser of five evils. Xisco, simply because he's quicker than Shola and generally a better footballer than the rest.

Warming the bench would be an improvement. Even with Best's injury and Xisco's suspension.

He had the chance to stake a claim last season. He should probably be out on loan.

Aye, Ranger's proved he's ready for the PL.

Grow up.

Good news.

Shay Given doing his best impression of Kat Slater.

We see Nolan run around till his face gets red and he spends the remaining 70 minutes hiding and blowing out of his arse. There's no spirit and determination there. Wanting to win badly is one thing, making the sacrifices to do it is quite another.

He does the basics well, which is always the best place to build from. I'd like to see him on loan at a Championship club.

Let's hope he's telling lies again.

Why?
