Congratulations- and if you thought this was good - wait till you’re a Grandad!

Sprouts - smell like a thousand concentrated farts while they’re cooking - and some people eat them!

Anyone else detest them?

In that situation, would you consider just not voting? I did but my dislike of the tories made me vote tactically to try to stop them. My vote doesn't really count anyway - it's a farming community so it's a massive Tory stronghold whether I vote or not. Maybe if it was a different situation that w...

Apologies for quoting just you but I do have a question for ex-labour supporters (genuine question, not a criticism): I appreciate that you no longer support the party on it's current state but if your views are still "old labour", for want of a better phrase, how does this align with voting Tory? ...

Very little difference in the general standard of players in the Championship and Premier League - outside of the glamour clubs.

If we can cherry pick some of the best then that’s a good policy

Very few of these players have featured for Stoke City reserves

All this net spend stuff is nonsense, just because they get some cash back for their mistakes doesn't make them smart in the market

Scotty booked

A tall keeper will naturally use their legs when the ball is low and near their body. Adjusting you legs in that way is quicker than using your hands and also is likely to prevent the ball going through your legs. Just basic goalkeeping really - watch De Gea- he does exactly the same

SalisburyClaret

Use the resources we have a bit better. We are leaking goals for fun and we have a centre back on the bench we payed 15 million for and who was thought of at one time as one of the best young centre backs in the country. Why not give him a chance? Agreed - can’t see him dropping Mee though so think...

Yes Lowton is past his best but as for the rest of the list - Pieters - decent standard as a back up Brady - before injury he was our main playmaker, hopefully he will be again Cork - fits SD’s system perfectly and covers more ground than anyone else Hendrick - best in a midfield 5 but his versatili...

Recruitment - SD has already said we won’t be spending big in January if at all.

Anyone know any decent midfielders ?

Westwood

SalisburyClaret

So we’ve lots of injuries including our main playmaker
They’ve scored 2 wonder goals but we made some chances ourselves
We’re not as bad as some say

Waste of everyone’s time checking that

Cork/Lowton are simply not good enough

Agree with Lowton but Cork has been the only one showing any fight today

SalisburyClaret

Lowton booked for not moving out the way of a Spurs player running straight at him

SalisburyClaret

Being able to successfully take a short thrown would be a start

Think they’ll stay up now - Pearson is an unpleasant character but does have an idea about what he’s doing

Lowton Tarks Mee Taylor

The outlook seems a bit bleak - will go for 3-1 to Spurs

If Westwood recovers in time then 2-2

You've not mentioned newcastle ....who have gone above us tonight.

A bad night all round then

Arsenal are never going to be relegation candidates

Brighton are and have picked up points against a “top 6’ side

Can’t see how that can be anything other than a poor result from our perspective

SalisburyClaret

This is looking like a bad result for us unless Arse can equalise

Hard to judge DD on that game.

What is obvious is that without Westwood’s speed of passing and pressing then we are lost in midfield

No problems with the picture quality but why do we have to have the same dumb pundits as the other channels. This is just “me too” and a missed opportunity

Newcastle are favourites to sign him apparently

Decent goal
Sheff U are just so fit - they get numbers where they need them really quickly.
Can’t see Phil Jones not being sent off

Yep maybe - I was also thinking more about the place itself - which is best known for being a “gap”. When your most redeeming feature is a service station..... Watford and Watford Gap - are two entirely different things - Watford Gap is a geographical feature that has a service station named after ...

Disagree - the board made a big mistake in appointing Laws. He had no experience in the top league and whilst he had been a manager for a long time and enjoyed bits of success he had not had a good time for a couple of years at least prior to him coming to Burnley (Sheff Wed ?). It was a very stran...

SalisburyClaret

There’s too much blame here - nobody did that much wrong - The board/ Flood had very little time to find a manager with decent experience (Laws had managed over 700 games) and the appointment was made with half an eye on the worst case scenario. They needed to make the appointment quickly so as Laws...

Laws signed Dean Marney - he is therefore exempt from any criticism in my book
