For some reason the thought of getting our height from our Spanish and French players tickles me.

You keep pitching them, others will knock them out of the park 'scoop them' to first base.

His brother seems to be banging them in for Norwich now Jacob's left. Typical. Like him and Aarons on the pitch together and would like to see more of it. Preferably with a decent no 10 always making an angle/providing a link between them.

All of the above is true but ultimately what difference does it make whether Rafa stays or not? We aren't going to win the league, in fact with the state of our squad and the lack of investment we are more likely to go straight back down. Which leaves two cups we could try to win, one which we just f***ed off with that horrible team that got put out. So that only leaves entertainment, I'd settle for an attack minded team even if it ended in a glorious failure, instead we have some inflexible percentage defensive crap that is terrible to watch. was always going to be this way with Rafa. The fact the 'system over style' stuff is served up by someone with such good values makes the difference for me. Proud to have him; isn't ever going to reach Keegan or Robson levels of entertainment.

Have you ever take any notice of any suspension in English football ever ? Unless, I am mistaken, he means yes. -

Yep, no dress rehearsal/audition required for Siem (thank fuck we didn't have to risk him). Perhaps one is required for Karl? -

The only disappointment for me (predictable though it was) is the inclusion of Diame. I would have liked to see Murphy and Aarons attacking and linking up with someone who can control the ball, react quickly and be creative. Surely Mitro would have enough chances to score/get his eye in/confidence up.... Slo Mo will probs score a brace now I've posted that! -
Makes Neymar look a bargain. Neymar weighs 68kg, a big dump is about 400g. So Rivière is worth about a week's worth of Neymar shit. Fair enough.

Offer Hacky Jackie and £15m (worth of equal quality Sports gear) for Cairney? Think it might be a goer... Did you see The Guoff in there away to Man City? That's my personal yardstick.

I'll have a pint of what he's on, please.

Kind of thing that Barnes character would be managing me thinks. Relative outlay on salaries proportionate to regular likely income, or some such accountancy speak.

What is this nonsense? Norwich, Cardiff, Villa and Aberdeen above Vasco de Gama? f***ing Guingamp over River Plate? Burnley over Galatasaray? Look at Hibs! Strange.

Wish there was a way to know who is going to be there from which clubs watching our surplus to requirements squad strutting their stuff. -
I'd take whatever we can and structure the deals to compensate the players for lower pay. Having these ghosts of players-past haunting the squad is damaging to morale.

I don't think Forest could cope with Aarons and Murphy feeding Joselu and Mitrovic. But got bored with hope for two strikers turning out last season when I similarly thought we could destroy teams, so not holding breath. -
To quote the great Terry Hall: "If you have a pseudo-ITK friend, now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end." Think they were the lyrics...
