We did a free bar for overseas delegates in Cape Town once. I was actually given the job of keeping everything in order - lol

The director came in as it was closing and enquired why the Russian delegates had an early night. Well I said, they’ve gone back to one of their rooms with about £3 grand worth of spirits and now your here I’m off to practice my Russian

Interested to know why. We don’t look a confident side, we do look pretty laboured. Watching Boro at the moment they look the opposite.

Similarly, Lampard’s tactical stubbornness is getting more pronounced by the week.

At home the stubbornness is winning week in week out - Boro defensively looked shite at West Brom

I think we are a different team at home as Boro are away. They were lucky against WBA and they were pretty ordinary against Stoke and got the rub of the green and a fluke of a winner.

Could be totally wrong, of course, but I'm not too concerned by the prospect of playing them at home.

I'm actually pretty confident we win the next two home games. Also think Sheff U will beat Middlesbrough on Saturday.

All of a sudden we'd be 7 clear (with GD) and two more games ticked off.

Its the hope that kills you!

One of the best away teams in the league and while results held up at home for us, we should have been 3 down against Lesta and Millwall similarly should have gone ahead as we were wide open for big spells of the game.

You could say the best away team in the league were lucky at Stoke and West Brom (they were).

If we beat Oxford (we should, obviously not guaranteed) and they don't beat Sheffield United (7 homes wins on the spin) they then come to us, the team with the best home record in the league, under pressure to not lose further ground.

Time to believe, my friend.

Yeah, I know we 'should', but we weren't. Football doesn't work like that.

Despite the "one of the best away teams" thing, they haven't been as convincing as you think...similarly with some of our home games.

Yes he was excellent last night. Can still be good on his day but Sheff Utd fans complain those performances are few and far between nowadays and they've given him a lot of stick.
Attitude and inconsistency are probably the reasons no PL club has ever come in for him

Is that even Italian? I don't recall seeing over there tbh.

The Porreti over in Italy is nice, deeper flavour than you get here.

They had an unfiltered lager that was awesome, I forget the name but it's from Calgary. That is a drink. Made me fart like a bastard tho

I think the most likely result as it stands will be that we'll get a draw against the Blades, before losing to you at the CBS. From there on in for the remaining 14 games I also think we'll accumulate more points than you to reign that new lead from the first 2 games back in.

Whether we'll overtake who knows, but it will probably be close.

Provided we stay ahead of Ipswich (and Hull if they decide to play better than last night) I couldn't give a toss about whether we overtake you or not personally. Ideally we need to turn over Ipswich at Portman Road which I believe we have a better chance of than at the CBS. Though depending upon how the results map out before then, with a lot depending on how Ipswich handle playing games every 3 days for a long period if they get further in the cup, a draw against the Tractors may be perfectly fine.

Must be then, never saw it in the Abruzzo region.l, they did have some god awful craft brews tho. Some red ale that was undrinkable.

We were on Forst, Ichinusa and Peroni Red. Delicious.
