Yes indeed. Particularly as Thuram is more than capable of playing the role Bailey is currently occupying.

You'd think so but as I have said above, I sadly have first hand experience that it is possible to drown yourself if you decide you want to.

A friend of mine did exactly that a few years ago. Took herself to a local park, laid down in the water and killed herself. She also had two daughters of about the same age as this lady and was a very strong swimmer.

That's plenty deep enough if it was suicide

I hope Unai noticed how Man City mixed up playing out of the back with long balls over the top. I appreciate that Watkins isn't quite to Haaland's standard but he isn't bad in the air either. Get Bailey/ Duran close and we might get something that way. Playing out from the back isn't always the most effective way. Plus mixing it up will keep them guessing

I'm starting to think Peter Faulding might be a cock

I think you're correct, you only had to see the players Man City had in the box at corners compared to ours to see we are physically a small team. Really we only have Mings who is a physically imposing outfield player. I suspect that is one of the reasons Unai was interested in signing Guendouzi, he is a physical presence.

That touch when breaking through in the first half sums Bailey up for me. He's just not good enough

Been poor pretty much all season. He's currently a bit of a nothing player

We won the second half! Duran gets motm simply for nearly snapping the cross bar from nothing

We love misery Which is handy when you're a Villa fan

He was shit yesterday so not sure that it would improve us!

In fairness you could well argue that we are missing Ming's, Carlos and Moreno so infact do have a 'new' defence

Chambers is so bad it's embarrassing

I don't think the squad is anything like Unai wants at this moment in time and whilst he will obviously be pushing to win every game he won't be expecting, or be expected to get, a European place. The summer will see a reshaping of the squad and with a full pre season I would expect us to be aiming for a much more realistic challenge on the top 7

Until this point I didn't think he had anything to do with it...

Scary indeed! The thing that makes abduction less likely is the location she was when last seen, the area was quiet but not empty as she was witnessed by at least two other dog walkers. To abduct her someone would have had to take from the field to the bridge that crosses the river (they've ruled out all other directions due to CCTV apparently) along a river footpath and then out onto a road, that whilst probably not busy, from the amount of cars they said they are tracing suggests it also not quiet, and then stick her in a vehicle all with no one seeing them. Or take her further along the bank of the river to another location. The luck you would need to do all that without being spotted would be phenomenal

I think that's nearly right except I think they'll combine your 6 and 7 into one episode, then episode 7 will be more Ellie's back story

I have tried watching Breaking Bad at least twice, getting several episodes in, before losing all interest and I know how highly people regard that series. It's ok not to like something

Nope, but as she almost certainly wasn't abducted then it's the most logical explanation. Or she was abducted by aliens

Yeah, I have spaniels and they can be sneaky little buggers

Nope not all the time but, in this case there is not a single shred of evidence to suggest anything other than she has gone into the river. No sightings, no unaccounted for vehicles, no signs of struggles, no 'people of interest'. She has either slipped, jumped or, pretty unlikely, been pushed into the river.

I've not followed his career particularly but didn't a similar 'form dropping off a cliff' thing happen to him at Dortmund?

I'm sure they will have. It's probably not given any clue as to what happened to her.

I think you're seeing conspiracy where there isn't. Most of the time the most logical explanation is the correct one.
