Settle down to a good Sherlock Holmes story, starring Basil Rathbone. Great intro:

I just get the impression that there is a BIG change of culture around the football club.

Standards. Gerrard has obviously set the standards bar very high indeed and there’s absolutely nothing wrong in that.

It’s sink or swim now for the current group of players and some will thrive/revel and improve, some won’t and be moved on.

Gerrard has so far been most impressive and a breath of fresh air. All we need now is a strong finish to the season and we’re in good shape.

Old squad no saleable assets a manager who has performed miracles keeping them in the league and now cash flow troubles.

Aye. They are ****.

They still have some saleable assets in Pope, Tarkowski, Cornet, McNeil, Brownhll, Collins, etc. All under 30 and are decent enough.

Does he start tomorrow…?

I reckon bench again, with Chuk to start in his position.  Perhaps a 30 minute cameo this time?

Cheers.   “where everybody knows your name”

Great show at the time and good theme tune

Remember the Midnight Caller? 

Growing up, I always remember parents watching Miami Vice (great theme tune), Dallas and Cagney & Lacey. But a weird one I remember was Tales of the Unexpected. Funny dancing silhouettes and a little bit scary back then for me.

Most of my favourites have been said already (The A Team, Airwolf, Magnum PI) but I’ll never forget the Grange Hill theme tune and Robin of Sherwood on a Saturday afternoon. I think Clannad did the theme tune for that?

Spink in Rotterdam for the glory and history but as a fan, you want to score in front of the Holte End.

I would therefore be Dalian Atkinson (rip) v Tranmere. What a game, what a header from him and what an atmosphere. One of best games at Villa Park ever. 

I would also put Charles N’Zogbia in the lowest ranking along with Ross McCormack.

What doesnt make sense to me, if they had the thoughta of sacking rafa why sell digne? Sack rafa and keep digne no?

Also rafas just signed some players what happens if the new manager dont rate them? He is stuck with them.

What a mess. It reminds me of the lerner days

and why sign El Ghazi?  Makes you wonder if Rafa had little or no control over transfers?

Agree though, total mess.

If Coutinho is fit enough to start:

-----------------------------Martinez-----------------------------

Cash-------------Konsa-------------Mings---------Digne

----------McGinn-----------Luiz-----------Ramsey--------

------------------Buendia--------Coutinho------------------

-------------------------------Watkins---------------------------

if not, I'd start Chukwuemeka in there.

subs Steer, Hause, Young, Kesler-Hayden, Targett, Sanson, Chukwuemeka, Ings, Iroegbanum.

 

Would pick exactly the same! 

Thankfully that doesn’t as bad as first feared.

He should be fit for next weekend then or be out for 3 months!

Be very interesting to look at the table again on Friday evening. Yesterday does feel like it was a must win game.

Be good to get into the top ten. Personally think top eight is beyond us but be good to give it a helluva go.

If we can get a right sided CB and a DM over the line, then boy what a transfer window it will have been.  Probably the best January transfer window for us ever.

we WILL be having world cup WINNERS here soon.

Just think during the World Cup, we could see - Martinez, Buendia, Luiz, Coutinho, Digne and Mings.  That’s not unthinkable and amazing really, 

Keep playing like that, then surely he makes the World Cup squad.

Clearly an upgrade on Targett. Will be a fine addition.

We need to stop this nonsense now.

Cannot believe how ugly Bruno is on OLED.

I’m sure he was in the film “Flushed Away” ?
