You can’t stand still in football. You either go forwards or you go backwards. One thing I do know - don’t score goals when you have gilt edged chances = relegation. First time I saw it was in 1966, we had too many good players to go down then - but we did.

Denny Laine - Say You Don’t Mind

I’m sick of hearing it. I’d prefer “ They’re a shower of dirty bastards who kicked us off the pitch !” Do we have to fill in the missing word Paul ? I’d go for “ easiest “.

10/10

But we’re not trying to get promoted are we ? The powers that be have said as much.

He’s not ready to play in a two and he’s not ready to play that role. He needs to be playing further forward were losing the ball isn’t such a calamity. We needed a three in midfield today as plenty of us said at 12.00 .

Marvin Gaye - Wherever I Lay My Hat ( That’s My Home )

We can’t play two in centre midfield against these. Especially those two.

The Fringe is great, the best holidays I ever had, we’d do 50 shows in a week. You needed a real holiday when you got back though. Not so great for the participants unless you’re a known performer. It’s got more expensive over the years, out of our reach now.

The Earls - Remember Then

I used to be a regular attender at the Edinburgh Festival so I’ve seen the down side of the acting game. Guys wandering around trying to sell their show in the morning, going on stage in the afternoon, then out again trying to sell tomorrows show. That’s after playing in front of a handful of people. I’ve been in shows with 3 people in the audience. I’d rather stick to engineering.

Johnny Kidd And The Pirates - Shakin’ All Over

The Marcels - Blue Moon

Ben E King - Don’t Play That Song For Me

Phillips is a Spurs player now.

Maybe Wharton needs a break ?

I think he might play Travis and Tronstad in front of the back four. Then leave Wharton on the bench and play Moran in his place. So a 4-2-3-1

No Hyam ? I haven’t seen Hill play apart from on TV but he looks quick and decisive plus that was a great pass he launched for Garrett’s goal

The thing I like about Garrett is he gets up with and beyond the strikers

The Lovin’ Spoonful - You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice

Timi Yuro - What’s A Matter Baby ( Is It Hurtin’ You )

The BBC sports football thread has an article - The Best Volleyed goals in the Premier League - predictably Tugay doesn’t feature or Shearer whilst he was at Rovers.

“ What we’ll be left with “ is the same wankers that have got us in this position, the same wankers that appointed him in the first place. The same wankers that would possibly appoint somebody worse if that’s possible. They’re like the cockroaches that would survive a nuclear war.

Regarding the pen - to say that the lad really wanted to take it it was a poor pen. Any keeper guessing the right way would save that all day long. You’ve got to go higher. I suspect he won’t be taking the next one. How many is that we’ve missed recently ?

They’ve got a good manager there. What’ll happen when he leaves is another story.
