I thought this way about Peter Eustace. I was 14. I was wrong.

I get the feeling Coleman and Pulis have lobbied really hard for the job; both with DC and the media. I reckon both are misguided egotists who think we'd be lucky to have them. Don't want either, as if you want dire Pulisball then Karanka is more successful at snore bore soccer and Coleman, well, just, God, no! It is an uninspiring field but I reckon Rowett could be very effective. Stoke apart, he's done well elsewhere, seems to make players better and knows the demands of the division. Also seems to have done best when there's been relatively little to spend; he got a dog of a Birmingham team near the sharp end before the Zola debacle. IF he can get us performing similarly then we could be in business; we've got better players than that Brum team.

Watching on Sky red button. Great chance for Joao. Feel sea sick; The fifteen year old work experience kid is clearly the cameraman.

You don't know the meaning of the word erstwhile; it means formerly. Thus, it is impossible formerly continue in the real world... Get your vocab right and have enough respect to call Atdhe by his name, Atdhe. It's not the 'conscience' police calling you out, it's the 'don't be an ignorant fizz' police.

I'd like Piazon to sign on the basis that we could us The Clash's 'Spanish bombs' as his song. Cannot be arsed to figure out all the lyrics but the, 'oh my corrazon' line can be, 'oh, Lucas Piazon.' and before you all say... ...you're welcome!

I watched the subs at ht very carefully And FF was definitely not involved. Indeed, the only one not involved. At the time I thought it odd and assumed it was a sign he was on his way, but we surely wouldn't have risked him if he was leaving and we needed the deal to go through. Showed his class when he came on although he was spectacularly greedy when he hit the side netting.

Funny how so many people grasped the wrong end of the stick, eh? Not your fault but everybody else's. I generally stay out of this stuff but your comment was in very poor taste without even a scintilla of humour.

"Given away by Butterfield...." This is the shi1t sequel to Groundhog Day.

Clear that Lawrenson hasn't done a jot of research but he seems more negative about being there at all than against us, per se. I don't blame him, to be honest.

I remember a really poor miss from Colin at 0-0 in the infamous 0-5 third replay defeat to Everton...

Here's mine. It's the legit draw with FA Compliance officers overseeing it. They were dead helpful, what with getting some of the balls out of the airing cupboard and a couple from out of the freezer by the carte d'or... Sheffield Wed v Pigs Notts Co or Swansea v Leicester Brighton HA v Newport or Spurs Southampton v WBA Hull City v Wigan Millwall or Rochdale v Man Utd Coventry v Huddersfield or Birmingham Man City v Chelsea That Chelsea ball was icy cold.

Bish bosh bash You've clearly smoked your entire stash

A very good player; by God he would look immense in the current team. I remember the Man United game clearly as it was my last before going off on a year long trip around the World. It just shows how the World has changed; I was sitting in a bar three nights later in Singapore and they were showing Premier League matches. Tons of locals in watching it as if it was live. It was clear they did not know the final outcome. I cheered our goals like I had done three days earlier. The Singaporean manure fans took it all in good humour. Wim Jonk scoring as well. I am sure the Dutch pronounce J as W and O as A. Or they should have done.

Indeed he does. Looks terrified he might get the ball. I find it odd that Rhodes is more the man up top. Joao seems better suited.

I swear I've seen that nose and those eyes before.....
