Too much tip tappy , play it out from the back, style football from what I hear. They were good enough to do that in the champ but the Prem is another story.

Whatever that means, what happened to “ my mistake “ ?

Billy Paul - Your Song

Yeah, I agree. He’s not what we need, we need a striker that can lead the line. He was hopeless in that role.

You don’t have play that way for 90 minutes, especially if it’s not working. Sometimes you need a plan B that involves playing another way.

10/10

It’d be a massive gamble for all those clubs. Do you get BB or BBD ? At the moment it’s BB that is running out onto the pitch.

Love - My Little Red Book

So sorry to hear your bad news. It puts losing on Friday into its proper perspective. Keep talking, we’re here to listen.

Mm, buying the league not so easy then ?

He wrote loads of really good stuff that still sounds great to me even now. I’m surprised you never mentioned “ That’s Entertainment “. Still the best thing he wrote for me.

Well they won’t will they ? They been there, got the tee shirt etc. They’re older than I am, they’ve nothing new to say. Just as importantly - they know that. What’s Bob Dylan had to say recently that is ground breaking ? Nothing is forever in life.

I’m sorry but people will be playing “ Something “ by George Harrison when Paul Weller is forgotten. “ The best love song of the last 50 years - Frank Sinatra “. I liked “ The Jam “ loads, they were a breath of fresh air at the time, but I think you’re letting your enthusiasm get the better of your judgement. Ray Davies, that somebody else mentioned, is also more influential. Not to mention Pete Townsend, Van Morrison etc etc.

It’s the not talking about it that makes it a bigger problem than it should be. . It can happen to anyone at any time. Like going over on your ankle stepping down off the curb. The more people are open about it the better.

Ha ha ha. It’s not just the ground breaking music they made, they were a cultural phenomenon. Nothing was the same after the Beatles. You had to be there to appreciate just how big they were. 1 to 5 in the US top ten at a time when British bands never got a mention. Did Paul Weller ever do that ? George Harrison was probably a better song writer than Weller, never mind John and Paul. Regarding Maccas output when he was past it - it’s like saying Pele wasn’t much good at New York Cosmos.

Mm, maybe we should start looking. The guy at Girona is working miracles.

Yeah, you only realise how crippling it can be when you’ve had a taste yourself. I went through a rough time after my divorce but I’m back in control now - I think. There are things more important than football rivalries.

Girona top of La Liga. Maybe our defeat wasn’t that bad after all.

You should be in journalism - maybe you already are ?

Yeah I just saw the highlights on SKY. The keeper makes Pears look like Gordon Banks. Has he got lead in his boots ! The Arse centre half towered over him, did nobody tell him he’s allowed to use his hands ? As far the sending off, the lad probably made himself dizzy with all the rolls he did after what was minimal contact.

To give us a bit of size at both ends of the pitch, plus some hold up play in their half. If he can’t do that why did we sign him ?

“ Weller is in the same league as Lennon and McCartney “ - in your dreams.

Why didn’t Ennis come on instead of Leonard ?

Garrett was the obvious one.

Most people expect the home results to be better than the away results. Poor home form is “ box office poison”.
