KDT

A full day away for being at a breakfast show? and a book signing in London, pretty sure he's not been back up to see how Billy Jones' crossing is coming along.

He was on BBC Breakfast this morning so that's a full day he's been away, surely they can't be happy with that.

Still meeting at the crossroads?

Bet you've not even seen Pro Patria play recently and you're making that comment.

Going to give the £10-£50 daily thing a go. £11.54 on Cittadella to beat Pro Patria @ 4/9.

How come I'm now a red? I've been blue since day one.

I'll play if there's still space.

Coventry are live on Sky tomorrow.

Getting a haircut hopefully.

Spunk

When was the last time we played at home on the same day as Sunderland? I thought Sunderland were Tuesday home games and we were Wednesday.

Rossiter, following in the footsteps of Flanagan, Spearing and a young Steven Gerrard in having a typical Scouse face.

Who else would you have played at right back given the options available?

Hernandoshideaway racing at York tomorrow in the 2:35, currently 8/1 and well tipped.

Wasn't the Southampton statue based on a sketch by Ali Dia the great Senegalese artist as a present to the club.

365 are paying 4 places so just sneaked in.

Nearly a lovely start with Delizia.

Delizia 14/1 - 1.55 York Easton Angel 9/2 - 2.30 York Birdman 14/1 - 3.05 York Covert Love 11/4 - 3.40 York 50p E/W Lucky 15 Lumiere 2/1 - 2.30 York Covert Love 11/4 - 3.40 York Roxy Lane 2/1 - 3.55 Chepstow Domtaline 3/1 - 3.30 Stratford £2.50 E/W Fourfold

Got a small e/w on Kassia in the next at York.

Might win the 5:15 if it keeps going.

Golden Horn beaten

To be fair like, Bertrand came through Chelsea's youth system, having been loaned out all over. Pelle was with Koeman at Feyenoord where he presumably watched Tadic at Twente and Fonte was signed by Pardew having been at Palace. It's hardly unearthing gems and as Sewelly said, if we were prepared to invest in more than one scout, we could easily do similar. All good players signed for reasonable fees near and far. I'd say thats good scouting no matter what you say. Like most clubs they've been hit and miss. Osvaldo £15m Gardos £4m Long £12m Forster £10m Ramirez £12 The majority of their higher purchases have been poor, it's only really offset by the income they've received from some good sales.

Jesus.

Borini is the new N'Zogbia except he's never on the pitch long enough to get a standing ovation as an opposition player from them.
