Would love to see the chimneys get demolished tonight. We’ve got to mock the ground when they come to us later in the season
Nlberto Solano on going on the lash with Ferguson and Howey: “My first experience of going for a drink was with Steve Howey and Duncan Ferguson (his Newcastle team-mates). They called themselves the heavyweights. They said ‘Hey, little Peruvian, want to come for a pint?’. Of course, why not? I’m sociable! In Peru, the tradition is that you get a bottle of beer and you share with everyone, with little glasses. Here we went to the Pitcher and Piano. We were only there for 45 minutes, but it was bang, bang, bang, doing the beers like that. “We went to the next bar and the next. At one point, they bought some whiskey, and I was ‘No, no, no, no, no mixing! Only beer!’. I was mullered. We came out of the bar and I didn’t know where I was and it was dark and my watch said four o’clock. I rang my ex-wife to apologise and to help me get home. ‘I’m so sorry, I didn’t realise it was so late’, I said. ‘What are you talking about?’ she said. I thought it was four in the morning. It was four in the afternoon. “That day was my welcome.”
Just the matter of Leicester and Manchester City to adjudicate on now, although Man City could be a little while, much like Titus Oates.

And to think just one smoke bomb here has people in meltdowns about asthma attacks, people hospitalised, the stadium trapping hundreds in a conflagration…
