Not a fan of 5 at the back, especially not at home. I know it 'can' be attacking but it normally isn't.

This. You can carry 5kg of beer (taking up about 20*20*20cm minimum)to Trafalgar Square with no bother, but you can't carry the empty, flattened cans back? GTF. I like a drink as much as anyone but I'd be utterly ashamed to drop a single one on the ground. Take your shit home.

Yeah people are generally allowed to get smashed and make a mess but the moment you try to tidy up, the police move you on.

Always liked him as a player, never caused any issues off the field either and at his best he's a great striker, hence the England caps which were fully deserved. He's leaving us because he doesn't play often enough? Fine. No issue there. But on the flip side we should be getting rid of him because he isn't available to play often enough.

Wish I could have a day off work every time I feel stiffness in my groin.

Shades of Schmeichel vs us back when they jammed it 1-0 at St James' all those years back...

Playing with 10 men is a bold strategy like.

Reasonably happy for Palace. Certainly not annoyed at them winning a bigger trophy when until just a few months ago I'd resigned myself to never seeing us win anything in my lifetime. This season has been the best ever in my 35 years of following us, and the achievements of another club certainly aren't going to do anything to dilute that.

Wouldn't be surprised if Man U welly one into their own net if Chelsea can't score, got to keep the cartel clubs in the money league.

Spurs need to improve significantly to be wretched.

Don't think there are two more predictable results than Man U and Spurs losing tonight.

That's two more than I'd recognise.

This isn't true. He paid close attention to what happened on the pitch. Our stated aim, as said by the club in fans' forums and actually written down in the minutes, was to exit the cup competitions quickly because winning a cup might cause us to get relegated. Meanwhile doing 'well' in the league (aka comfortably avoiding relegation) meant no investment was needed, or better still he could sell some players. He was very concerned with what happened on the pitch, just it was entirely to our detriment.

Did you buy your house for cash, or was it, like me, borrowed at way more than 1.7x my salary, over a vast period, with the majority of everything I pay being interest?
