I went once, it was alright, cheap and cheerful with a salad bar to fill your boots

It seems to me that the terrorist attacks are becoming far more 'professional' and it's due to proper training and organisation by ISIS in their homeland, even if they are largely carried out by homegrown terrorists, so logically it will make us safer if we take them out in Syria. You won't be able to stop an individual terrorist all the time, but the Paris attacks with so many different people involved in different places with precision timing and impact makes the likely death toll much higher. We have foiled seven attempts this year, the idea that they will ignore us because we aren't bombing them is ridiculous, especially as we are bombing them in Iraq anyway. Our missiles are supposed to be the most accurate in the world, as well as our surveillance equipment, we need to add our expertise to the fight to get the best results. We also need UN troops on the ground IMO and it will just be a matter of time.

It was brilliant. I enjoyed Toast of London as well, I've been a bit iffy about it the few times I've watched but I laughed a lot yesterday. I don't know why but the name Penvelope had me in tears, and the weather girl, omg she is fit.

Seems a balanced approach from Garde. Hopefully it gives an opportunity to Adama to come in, and he and Grealish can spur each other on under Remi's guidance as they are our future stars if they fulfil their promise.

The missing link?

Aye she's on everything nowadays isn't she. Feel a bit sorry for David, he's been decent all the way through and he gets booted because he misprinted a couple of tshirts. The Welsh lady was proper bricking it when she got dragged back haha.

I've just started watching series 2 of the Newsroom. I don't think I've ever watched a programme where I've found every single character so irritating. Still the series aren't that long so I think I'll stick with it and finish the third as well.

I partly put it down to the players, but mainly down to Arsenal just being in a totally different class on the day. They can do that to anyone on their day. However, calling the players losers and revealing that Benteke had a release clause in his contract in the days before the final making most of the press coverage of us negative is one of the most ludicrous moves I had ever come across from a manager. That was before I witnessed some of the ludicrous shite he came up with the season, though, which was even more embarrassing.

I think it was just a case that trying to repeat the Man City tactics backfired due to early defensive mistakes that we couldn't recover from. Saturday will give an indication of Garde's flexibility with tactics and a decent performance will go a long way in giving me hope of survival. A weak defeat or draw will probably drain whatever enthusiasm I have left. 4 points from those 3 matches would be a great start, though.

It would be great to see him let loose at the weekend. I think it would allow Gil to play centrally and he is likely to help get the best out of Adama.

Russia are basically at war with everyone in Syria but the govt, so it's perhaps not surprising. However I'm not sure how the Turkish story of them warning the plane several times works considering how small the bit of airspace they travelled through is and the speed they're likely to have been going.

Not really misheard, but after hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit possibly 1000 times I still have no idea what he sings in the chorus. I think the word 'rhino' is in there so I just belt out random nonsense whenever it comes on the radio and I fancy a singalong.

Yes, best to keep your use of Starbucks to yourself.

Who turns up in time to watch adverts at the cinema anyway? You know the film starts half an hour after it's meant to, and the last 5/10 minutes before the film are for the trailers, if you fancy catching them. Plus it looks a bit of a shit advert to me anyway.

I thought he achieved his goals therefore his performance was pretty good, until the last season where his head got scrambled by going to a few training sessions with Guardiola and he was clearly a man who couldn't take any more beatings. His record before us was excellent and I hope he does well at Blackburn.

I'd take it with a pinch of salt, as some of the posters seem extremely negative to the point of possibly being closet SHA fans on the wind up, and they don't support it with any evidence. I'd love to see Adama getting a real run in the team, he has so much talent and potential.

I think Guzan Hutton Richards Clark Crespo Gana Sanchez Bacuna Gil Sinclair Ayew I hope that would have enough in it to get a performance. The front four are the ones I'd think are most likely to create and score goals and should be fairly balanced. Left back is a proper pain in the arse though.

Caroline Flack is nice but I'm sure she's had some sort of plastic injected in her face recently that's put me off a bit, and you know within a few years she will look like a rubber duck, as once they start they just can't stop. It pisses me off when women do that.

There is a huge amount wrong, hopefully we have the right manager to get us 30+ more points and getting behind him at least is vital, especially for Saturday. I'm sure there will be plenty of protests if things don't get any better but right now is perhaps counterproductive.

I go back to the second half against Leicester. He and Gil had started to show what they could do in the team together, Gil comes off and we concede 3 and since then they've barely been on the park together. When they have it's been in the middle of a crisis and they've been unable to show what they can do, though Gil has been better, as you'd expect as he is a couple of years more advanced plus probably a better player in general.

Like Senderos, Richardson, Cole and Lescott? I think we have little option other than to spend £15-20m, as much as Randy will be loathe to do it. Of course attracting players will be tough if we are too adrift.

I'd forgotten the Sylla and Dawkins window happened How the **** did Lambert keep us up in those days?

Yep he was a cheap squad player that has ended up playing way too much, and not really in his best position. I'm so gutted what happened to Amavi, but there must be a better option than Richardson to replace him.

I'd like to see him play centrally against Watford in place of Veretout, with Sanchez and Gana behind him. You can't really rely on him and Grealish to do enough defensive work to play both on the wings away to teams like Everton (hopefully Garde has learnt that from yesterday, despite it working to a degree against City), but at home to teams we need to finish above we have to trust them to make the difference.

Definitely this is the key to the season. How many points can Garde knick for us up until the January window opens before we have to spend on at least two players. We have three home games before Jan and we have to at least show some spirit and win a couple of those otherwise the atmosphere will be totally defeatist and most likely poisonous. The Watford game is as big a league match as I can remember.
