Fair enough outside the box, but inside it only needs to be mistimed a fraction or the oppo player jinks a bit and you have a penalty on your hands. Once you are committed to to shifting your weight like that you can’t pull out. Pacqueta’s was borderline, it didn’t look square shoulder to shoulder t...

goodpost:) In this day and age there is no room for an old style manager preparing for matches and handling scouting and the leg work of travelling, persuasion and negotiation with the selling club, player and players agent at the same time. We needed TS with his track record, not looking old school...

Well if we get more for Zouma than we pay for Macguire I’d accept it gracefully.

Talks have reopened with Manure for slabhead. :( 100% he will stay at Man Utd, we don't need him, we don't need McTominay and we don't need Greenwood as these will not improve our squad. Spot on.

I often send your posts to my Watford supporting mate, he says you are the Shakespeare of East London. Completely missed the opportunity for “The Bard of Stratford High Street”.

The rest of the team must have been pretty bloody dire is all I can think. Wo...

This game falls on the anniversary of my first game at UP on 20/8/66. It was my 10th birthday present from my uncle, we stood in the Chicken Run. Coincidentally also vs Chelsea, and also our first home game after a trophy win, albeit then for the national team. The players just came out to rapturous...

I bought my "relegation insurance" at 16/1 a week or so ago. Betfair is usually the best - but Oddschecker.com is the equivalent of CompareTheMarket.com if you want to compare. I do it every season to cover the cost of the ST for a couple of seasons if we go down. A very negative thing to ...

Yes, I feel the same, quality player, and likeable man.
