nowt's easy... Fair play. Great game.

Pleased Pantilimon is on the bench, jinxy barsteward...

Or is Aarons LW?

Can't get my head around formation. Is it 5 3 1 1 (without ball) 3 5 2 with?

Here's hoping canaries take the fall.

Done. Thanks for all your work Dave. Evidently appreciated by many.

Just saw Austin interview on footy focus: don't think he did himself any favours.... I was left feeling glad we didn't get him. No humility or humour, " The King...Pards" levels of self-centredness. Dissed us and West Ham. Prick.

Been down that road to some extent. Prior to re-development they floated the idea of a stadium in Gateshead (banks of Tyne, iirc). Not many takers. Even though it looks very different, as does (increasing) the surrounding area, would be tough to take loss of heritage that comes with current home.

I know this is a bit random, but Toney has got some silky ball skills. Was like watching Barca warm-up when he was doing keepy-uppy (that's a frustrating word to type with this spell checker!) before the West Ham game.

was going to simply put " Chancel can swim too!" but too easily misinterpreted.

Ditto.

Not certain, but think some of his family support us and some Sunlun; think he got the good genes.

Would love to see Aarons get a shot (really impressed me against pre-season Amerikees). Though with him and Janmaat, it will be like having two wing backs/a Bez on each wing.... Saivet will have to sit deep; if he's adept at such shenanigans.

Really admire how you always take the toon to win SCT--you crazy mo-fo -- hoping your loyalty might be about to be more regularly repaid (... though perhaps you have to start picking them to lose... maybe that's how this sorcery works!) BTW, just realised that technically I could be North Cheshire Toon! (in Manchester but South of Mersey=old Lancs Ches divide).

Thanks for link to Palace forum, both interesting and funny reading through the divided opinions and changing minds/growing realisations.

It's all good' apparently he's African himself... Eugène Terre'Blanche's less progressive younger brother

8 weeks and 3 days, until they rock up at SJP... 8 games before then (5 teams in bottom-half of the league; 3 in top), and seven left afterwards (3 [currently] in bottom-half, 4 in top). Tick-tock.

Watford have played 11 at home, scored 11, conceded 10. Amassing 14 points. They have beaten: West Ham 2-0, Swansea 1-0, Norwich 2-0, & Liverpool 3-0; drawn with WBA & Southampton (both 0-0). Lost to Arsenal 3-0, Palarse 1-0, The Manchesters both 2-1, & Spurs, same. They seem to do equally well/badly home and away (similar points goals for and against). They beat us 2-1 at SJP. They've lost their last three games, two at home. Prior to that drew at Chelsea. Last home win was 19th Dec (Liverpool).

Would do, but Jimmy Saville lookalike is putting me off.

Is there a past Newcastle player, or other well known bod, who is a reasonable comparison to Berahino (has a similar style of play)?

Like Coldplay's Chris Martin dangled by his ankles and dipped in a bucket of rust.

Stick your money on Villa, Napoli, PSG, Celtic & WBA. Absolute cert I didn't win but I'm pleased I didn't follow this either Typical of Italian football to do me over. Corrupt as s***. Hard to bear man, 4 out of 5. I was sorely tempted by this, don't know why -- maybe Disco planted the seed with talk of first bet of year-- but unsuccessfully tried searching for accumulators on Sky Bet (eventually remembered password), and seemed to only be able to choose pre-determined combos rather than choose your own. Paradoxically, avoided the pre-set ones as they all seemed to include Inter Milan... Sod's Law!

Good summary of the game here from WH forum: http://www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=161872&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=800#p4588360 Wonder if we could get Tom Downs stuff posted there? (See image of the week)

30 April, 14 weeks (plus change)....

Nice work chaps! Appreciating the numbers.... Funny though how we all, self included, can use statistics the way a drunk uses a lamp post... for support rather than illumination!
