The coiner of the much-quoted phrase was in fact White Hart Lane legend Bill Nicholson in his days as manager at the club, - and not Bill Shankly. Shankly's wordy take on the situation was in fact "If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be." Which is completely different.

Peter Kay's on telly later.

Recent X-rays on his foot suggested a broken metatarsal, turned out to be a pie crust in his sock.

Grit your teeth

Rubbish, Liverpool are the better team so far. We haven't had a single shot anywhere near goal, passed the ball more times to a red shirt than a blue and white one. The goal was a con, but to be fair we haven't turned up yet.

Bugger

One Nil to Villa - Baros !

Bruce interviewed on Sky said he was glad to have some of his big players back for the derby, then Upson does his ankle in the warm up !

Rumour has it, no Kewell, Crouch or Stevie G. Still got a feeling we're gonna get egged.

Fife, I'm baffled. Why didn't you just google to here ?

Can't believe there are posters on here who think we can get into the Champions League, we have no chance at all. Our best result this season will be 6th and UEFA, and that in itself will be a terrific result for our little club.

Well done Accy (hardly surprising given the number of bloody scousers at the club these days Must have been a sign ever since that kid drank his glass of milk !

Arse Leading one nil at half time.

Sooooo Slowwww

Henry

I can see him now sitting in a deserted Ewood park, bobble hat on, Bovril in hand, then posting on the 'Old Gate Debate' thread. Today's turn out was the worse I've ever seen .....

It's true, look at the new shirts. Anyone Interested ? Glazers

It's at Fratton Park mate.

Bradford City, Bantams ?

That'll be the third one then !

Name 3 Premiership players whose names are connected with TV programmes?

5 minutes left, and more reason to believe we will get the 6th spot. Still one nil.

Agreed, mixed emotions about this one. Praying for Brum to be relegated, but don't want Fat Sam to catch up either. Come on you Blues !

Absolutely, ban swearing aswell. At the West Brom game I'm sure I heard the F word four times. No wonder the gates are dropping, those plastic seats are so uncomfortable. Time for a fun game of twister ?

I heard that Mourinho lost it at the post match press conference, should be entertaining.
