Full game the U23s when both Aarons and Sterry played a half might suggest he isn't likely to start vs Stoke.

Looks more like a horse than a sheep... [move] [/move]

Personally I was looking forward to a specialist no.10 coming in more than anything else. Hey ho...

Doesn't sound too bad when you look at like that. That said, there's always the risk that statistics are used the way a drunk uses a lamppost: for support rather than illumination!

That's incredible. Who is it? Wyn 'the leap'?

I know the opposition, and no doubt the instructions, were different but he showed such energy, confidence and purpose against Bradford preseason I was hoping this would be representative of his game each time.

Some nice snippets of personal observation which add colour. Maybe start with the "No signs of goalposts. Nobody kicking a ball... .' Then backfill with the context 'I was 13 when I first visited Toronto. The absence of my favourite sport from the beautiful parks in the GTA stuck in my mind.' Then a bit more about the search for results and then bring in some evidence for your observations (if you can find it) who played the game then, who plays now. Coverage then; coverage now etc. Nice project

I've just watched the Sky highlights of the game and there seemed to be an odd 'exchange' between Lascelles and Gayle at the end of the game. Firstly the camera catches Lascelles shouting (angrily/commandingly) "Gayle!" There is no wide shot but I assumed he was calling him to come over to the fans? (Anybody there see any more?). Then slightly later Lascelles looks angry/worked-up and appears to be saying something like 'What are you on about?" to Gayle, whose head is side-on in the frame so can't see his reaction. Anybody got scent of dressing room issues? Just seems a strange exchange when others were clearly so happy to have won. Was there something more to the Gayle for sale stuff?

suddenly worth a watch.

I am currently applying our transfer strategy to the R word. So I am precontemplative about thinking about potentially monitoring the prospect. Hoping the outcome is the same!

He got the ball. Well, the left one anyway. yep, he didn't have his eye on it though. According to the nation's favourite (ahem) pundits this is essential/irrelevant delete as appropriate.

And a happy Monday to you Eddy C...

Different kind of player to Speedo, particularly at that stage of his career. But there is something about his movement, presence and quiet determination which triggered that memory/comparison for me. (RIP).

Take your chance J

I think losing Rafa will be the deciding factor in this game, he's known for his in game alterations, we'll miss that greatly. Is there a slight delay in the broadcast? Or can he see it/instruct via phone as it happens? Not that a few secs makes much difference like. Bet it would piss him off though.

Yep. Not so sure it is that strong a first 11 though.

Thought he was a Dick. Ooh Benny, you are awful but I like you!

2-0 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Shirt's not fit to be worn, more like.

Possibly not in Paris

Great article and what a day!

Jesus Christ! (Was my reaction...)

Our luck's so bad that if we bought a cemetry people would stop dying. Rod Dangerfield classic there
