    On a personal level, I hope they keep faith with David. <whistle>

    just watching the start. So Everton have a midifelder who's name looks almost certainly to be an anagram of Bangin'Em In. I'd like one of those.

    He's like a slightly less bad Tim Sherwood.

    Ha. I'll never forget Sherwood rocking up at his St Marys with his Villa side playing a high line but not pressing us, allowing Morgan to ping balls in behind for Mane and Long at will <laugh>

    Slaven Bilic has rejected the chance to speak to West Brom about their vacant manager's position.
    If ever there was someone who needed a break from football, it is he. I'm pleased for his family that he has made that decision.

    Watching the England women on BBC2 v Bosnia. Had most of the game, but only 1-0 up. The Bosnian GK is a good shot stopper. Good to see coverage on TV and a decent crowd. I know the prices are low....prices at St Marys will be £1 or £10....but important to get bums on seats. I may go to the match v Wales in April....should be entertaining.

    Two early goals in second half make it 3-0 England.

    Finished 4-0

    Personally, I think there's a good manager in there. But he needs a break from the expectation, that still comes even when you lose your magic player. In his case Payet. In our case, Pelle, Mane and Wanyama. Victor you get over. Which we have.

    He had that great player but was also one of those managers who benefited from the carry on of a great defence the season before they took over and failed miserably when he had to organise his own defence.

    See Martinez at Everton for another good example.

    Just bought a ticket for the England women's game in April (only £1 for oldies <diva>) because I fancy seeing some goals. Nice to look forward to....long wait till April though, so I hope Saints can manage a couple between now and then.o_O

    It's peculiar because I didn't remember any of that, and I've seen the full match probably half a dozen times. So looked it up. No Morgan. You must have forgotten something ;)
