Tyrone Shoelaces

Southgate can see what we can see. The lad can change defence into attack with one pass and he can do it consistently. What was it the other night, 36 successful passes out of 36 ! This is at international level after coming on as a sub on his debut. Players who can do that in the modern game are golden. If he was Spanish he’d be playing every game.

Gallagher ? Just a spear carrier like Phillips was.

I think he’ll come back up here. City or United.

So did we, but not everybody was listening.

He won’t be at Palace this time next year. If he impresses at the Euros he might not even be there next season. Given the current fad for playing out from the back players like Wharton are worth their weight in gold.

Definitely, he’s a one off. We haven’t got anybody else who can do what he does.

Maldini playing in a blindfold.

You mean at Ewood Park ? Good idea.

Barney Ronay has a good article on the City fiasco in my paper today.

That’s my hope has well. If they can no longer finance the club it’s game over.

That Maguire- Shaw/Trippier flank is where teams will have some joy against us.

Foden reminds me of Carney when he was here. Excellent out wide but nowhere near as effective when he was given the responsibility of being the playmaker in the midfield. Doing it for City is one thing, doing it at international level is another issue altogether.

Gallagher is just a better Robbie Savage.

Hill was a good loan signing.

Let’s hope so.

Really, I’ve got a good optician, maybe I should send Southgate his phone number. Phillips is just a grafter who runs around a bit. Wharton makes the ball do the work.

Robert Knight - Everlasting Love

We can’t afford to get this one wrong. Gally is injury prone, Leonard missed most of last season injured. We can’t risk another Ennis type signing.

Possibly, that’s what I’d do, but who knows with Southgate ?

Reading between the lines it sounds like he could well be going to the Euros. We’ve no other player that can play exactly that role. Only Southgate’s innate conservatism stands in his way.

Brenda Holloway - Every Little Bit Hurts

Every pass right where the other player wanted it, with at just the right amount of pace on it.
