Perhaps I overreacted to the "rural France, .......no mobile signal ..." stuff, which annoyed me. Sorry. I apologise.

Chilco: you are so trendy! I shall be in urban UK, in a house without grapes, sans internet, sin aceitunas, but above all not totally up my arse like you are!

Brandon Haunstrup? You're kidding, right?

Your irony just too subtle for me I guess.

Indeed Aberdeen, agree with you - equally pissed off - but nowadays all part of the game I fear.

Fatletiss: of course we were lucky; lucky to be playing a distinctly average team, lucky to have an hour against 10 men, lucky they didn't put away an easy chance. Of course we've got trouble (not "are in trouble", I think) defending and we need to press a lot more urgently and effectively when...

I haven't read all the posts on this thread so sorry if I'm echoing other opinions. I think it's naive to refer to players as if they somehow betray the club by trying to forcé a move to a "bigger" club in order to get more money and enhance their profesional status. Why on earth should they...

Haven't posted here for yonks but just wanted to agree with a lot of posters about Romeu - Barça pedigree, which is a guarantee, and includes a work ethic. How much safer the defence look when being attacked, and how smoothly he moves it out of defence. May he stay free of injuries and may we...

Jesús wept, aren't we a football club? Can't we talk about football? I long for the day when we're in a proper league instead of this circus.

I thought Fletcher showed some good touches too. Maybe your big problem right now is that players like Jordi Gomez are a shadow of their former selves for whatever reason so the midfield is being outplayed too often.

I saw the match and although it was short of skill on both sides I thought both teams tried really hard. The ref should have blown up for a foul before WHU scored, so Sunderland were unlucky not to get a point. Why are they "dickheads" after that performance?

Soton Old Boy - I've never been scared of shooting - my wife and I often exchange gunfire at breakfast.

Struggling's part of life, so Clyne's alive!

IMO the major problem and irritant is that we agree that it's a problem of religion. It isn't, it's political, racial and emotional, a deadly cocktail. A long way from our shores there are millions of people who blame races like us for having enslaved them and dispossessed them and they're just...

People have short memories. Remember a Sunday EPL match v Fulham, 0-2 down and Beattie scored a hat-trick I think, including a superb header for (?) 2-2. We won in the end.
