He played the other week, came on as sub and was sent off for a late tackle within minutes. Looked well off the pace from what I saw but I think it was his first appearance after injury so not too much of a surprise especially as he tends not to hold back.

Yes he did, that's true and he looked off the pace, but I still think he could do a decent job when called upon at this level.

I know I'm going to get verbally slaughtered for this and it's not deliberate provocation but I think that Luke O'Nien on loan for the rest of the season wouldn't be as ridiculous as it sounds. Even if he were only to be used from the bench, he has the experience and tenacity to help see games...

Only just seen the post. Wishing you all the best and sending positive energy from Mallorca.

This is really interesting and encouraging to see a neutral wax lyrical about us. Apologies if it's already been posted.

We looked very vulnerable to the long ball over the top of our defence against a couple of quick lads. It was something I thought Lampard would address for the second half but strangely didn't.

I remember seeing George Best sat alone on playa d'en bossa beach in Ibiza one summer's day around 1985 looking forlorn and very very pissed. I was tempted to go and speak to him but through better judgement decided not to and later that same afternoon he staggered past the beach bar where I was...

I think Allen's main role will be to close Barry Banana down. ..

Everybody has a right to criticise and are not losing their shit. It's a game that we should have won easily but didn't due to tactical naivety..

Lampard not proactive I think we could all see the equaliser coming but instead of changing shape and bringing on a couple of subs to shore things up, he does nothing.

But you are getting video ?

Yes, that's definitely way out there Otis. I particularly enjoy those morning dreams when we should really get up but feel so comfortable that we decide not to.They're quite often lucid which sometimes allow us to control the direction that the dream takes. They can be a lot of fun until the...

Haha. He'd ordered a pint of Carling, Rob, which is not what you'd expect.
