Unlucky with Whits free kick too. Couple of brilliant goals for us. Sheep, did Harris make a difference? He seemed to from the bbc text commentary.

1-2 to us please Sheep Pilks

Fair play to GB's coach. The plan seemed to be 'all out defense, get the keeper to the shootout' There was only ever going to be one winner once she was there <ok>

I know you're taking the piss but I wouldn't want him. Which sums up why Guardiola can't really be blamed for wanting someone much better. Butland will be England number 1 once he's fit. I think our poundstretcher approach means Wilson could quite likely be used as backup till Jan at least...

Cheers Sparks. I wasn't saying him in particular just a player in that style. Someone good enough a PL side wants to develop for themselves rather than a player they're hoping to sell to L1/Championship for a small profit to cover development. I think Liverpool have a few but they have a 75%...

£500k for a backup keeper is good work when the number 1 is on another level to him. I'm really worried about our plan to sign a striker, we obviously need one, we obviously can't afford the player we need. It feels like we're about to add to our every growing list of average strikers. I'd...

There is no way on earth Alf wouldn't be a better option off the bench than what we have. Almost all the way through his career he's been an impact sub and we should try him as that. I don't know the position with regards to fitness/attitude though to be fair to Trollope. In other news...

I'd take Peltier's defensive ability over Manga's extra couple of inches (of height! <laugh>) every time. John had shown for that ball in behind about 3 or 4 minutes before Whits actually put him in, just the man in possession didn't have the vision to pick him out on the previous occasion.

<laugh> <laugh> It was Sheep who said Declan had pace, I agree with you. He's sharp off the mark but I don't think he has real pace. With regards to being safe rather than attacking in possession you can't really blame him for wanting to find his way into the team and build a bit of...

I saw a plan tonight, we tried to get forward a bit quicker. Gunnar helped, as did having Pilks and Immers in more effective positions. Pilks should obviously have put away the 1 on 1. He looks desperately short of confidence. I thought Peltier was having a very solid game at wing back. When's...

Not sure about the doomsday prophecy tbh. I think we're heading towards the first £500k a week player a lot faster than towards footballs demise. Sky's entire business model is built on it. Few people will pay the £70+ subscriptions for anything other than PL football. Therefore they've got...

1-0 to us please sheep Gong

Oh it was a manager issue though. Whilst focusing on the zero on target we haven't mentioned we'd mustered 2 (TWO!!!) shots off target in the 90 minutes. That's a symptom of a very poor attacking setup/plan. He waited till we were losing to make a significant change and then his new plan was...

That was much worse than anything Slade produced. Slade took us to within a couple of wins of the playoffs, we normally scored under him. No shot on target in the 90 minutes is a low Slade never subjected us to.

I said to the Mrs walking out, if I'd just watched that match on the tv as a neutral I'd be looking up City's odds of going down. That was a performance of a side that's going to be right in the ****. Absolutely clueless. A striker won't fix that as he'd suffer the horrendous lack of service...

In fairness remote I think that might tell you more about the season Leicester are about to have rather than any great hope for Hull. Kante is going to be a HUGE loss for them.

2-0 to us please Sheep Gounongbe

Now, now Sparks <laugh> He'd be an improvement on what we have for sure, just not sure he'll be one of the stars of the division. Good start, should have had 3 tbf, as mentioned above its a marathon not a sprint..... I've just come back from a week away and managed to see our highlights v...

Whatever anyone's opinion on the ayatollah that's really not the point. If he feels so strongly he's a jack he can't partake in a tiny little ritual/gesture he shouldn't have signed. If he is ready to give everything for us on the pitch then a quick bit of head tapping really shouldn't have...

Woo hoo, unlike BFB I'm very excited about the season! 1-2 to us please Sheep with Gounongbe to bag his first of many this season <ok>
