I've always liked keepers who reliably take crosses, but unfortunately we haven't had one for many years. I agree that he should probably come for this one. But it's not 'simple' because it's such a looper. And I guess I'm over-reacting a bit to the ludicrous claim that all 3 goals are Wilson's...

It's a ball that some keepers would have claimed, but it's hardly 'simple' because rather than having a flat trajectory it's coming down with ice on. And then the header itself is unstoppable, because it bullets into the top corner. Wilson gets no credit for last night but there were failings...

There must have been about a tenth of a second between the Preston player missing the ball and it coming off Thomas. How's Wilson supposed to 'communicate' with him in that time? Not saying he played well, but he stood little chance with any of the goals.

So for the first Wilson should have told Thomas to head the ball, for the second he should have told Dasilva to kick the ball, and for the third he should have told Thomas not to stick it in his own net?

So why focus on it? Completely inappropriate.

Yep, Simms was about the only positive from tonight's game. I think he showed he can be a really good centre forward for us.

No way unfortunately

Not sure what you mean, but that's a barrow I think!

That would be a whole warren.

Quality of the Portuguese league, or at least its best teams, reinforced by Porto (below Sporting Lisbon in 3rd place) deservedly beating Arsenal last night.

He very rarely dribbles, but when he does you can't help noticing it.

Ditto Frustrating that the options include the whole of the East and North stands, but no mention of the South. I get that they probably want to maintain flexibility in the South Stand for varying numbers of Away fans, and that sight lines dictate that safe standing is much easier to provide in...

I suppose if you are clever enough with your ticket purchasing, you can reserve a bar and an entire set of bogs to yourself and avoid the queues.

So where precisely is the solid wall - between 13 and 12?

I'll hold my hands up and say that when I made my comment about sales I wasn't really looking at 12 & 13, which are small segments near the corner and have sold OK. I was looking more at the larger blocks 10 and 11 nearer the goal, which have sold virtually nothing so far. I suppose it depends...

With Sakamoto left on the right

Very few home tickets sold in the South Stand for this one. Could prove to be an abortive experiment?

... application to change his name by deed poll?

Perfect for surreptitious shirt-pulling.

Lately I've been waiting for the microwave to almost finish, then charging towards it and rousing an imaginary crowd, Milan-style, in time with the beeps.
