My dentist is a Stoke fan and he knows I'm City. I'm scared enough of dentists as it is.

No seats at the bar? Suppose it is 8,30. Take a stroll around Fatface or look at some watches. Always something to do at Gatwick.

Boring airports aren't they?

That's weird. Do they take all the Rothmans too? Or does a vape have some purpose as a weapon I'm unaware of?

Any time between now and 26th April if they want me to renew my ST's

Yup but as usual the other team did. We must be cursed.

But you can't gamble on those challenges in the box any more.

I considered looking that up, and then concluded you already had, possibly making you marginally more resourseful than Vyner but possibly no more intelligent.

Vyner is a simpleton. Good footballer , no brain.

I know that, You say it a lot. And that's great assuming you enjoy it. Guessing for you it's not really about the football.

That's not entirely true, empty seats make a visible impact. I'm a season ticket holder and haven't been going for a while. Not a protest, haven't even got better things to do necessarily. Just can't be bothered .

And it's likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.

I don't think Tinnion's going anywhere. I suspect the Lansdowns are currently negotiating with Netflix, and Tinnion's their trump card. Comedy gold.

Bloke behind me left with 10 minutes to go. Best 10 minutes of the season so far.

Whenever a decision of this magnitude needs to be made on the forum, I would expect any self respecting Mod to write to me individually, obviously enclosing a stamped , addressed envelope for my reply. I am understandably furious that this has failed to happen. And in case they were interested my reply would be , I don't give a shit. They do a great job, leave them alone ffs

Ah, thanks Dave. Obviously I nicked that from one of your posts then. And I was wrong. Just.

Isn’t it statistically Naismith? I personally have no evidence to back this up, but vaguely remember it from somewhere

It almost certainly would be.

Problem is, when did you last see a penalty given when the player didn't go down? If you're fouled and don't go down in the box nothing is given. Totally different outside the box. The referees are their own worse enemy. Moan about players diving but then force them to do so.

I've still got a pair of Umbro Special League boots that I bought in the late 80's, that sit in a bag under the stairs complete with shinpads, socks and shorts, 'just in case'. I'm 63 this year

Contentious. Possibly deserves it's own thread?

Have to confess, if I was the manager I'd instruct them to try a few speculative/pointless shots from 40yds just to improves the stats.

Nope, stuck them in E34 along from me to experience the atmosphere. That worked well.

Well I brought my daughter and her husband who were over from New York to the game today, and they found it very entertaining. Apparently the people sat behind them were really funny .

Expected to lose tonight, think we're rose colouring the first half, few good chances but Southampton largely controlled the game. What concerned me was the subs. Saturday he got it right. Cornick great for running down a game. But Cornick/Weimann when we're chasing it? We were looking at half chances at best and Conway/Bell/Sykes are always more likely to finish one of those.
