Being a bit of an audiophile i've always been sceptical about wireless speakers. However on our recent holiday there was one in our hotel room. It was only a Creative, not exactly a leader in hifi. However when I coupled it with my ipod the sound was quite impressive. Enough so for me to consider pu...

Brian Miller’s run down the left flank and shot that beat Sheffield Utd’s Alan Hodgkinson in the early 60’s was the best individual goal I’ve witnessed at TM.

I cannot think for a minute we'll let both Hart and Heaton leave unless extremely good offers come in. Tom has been a great servant and the heartbeat of our team. It's his prerogative to decline a new contract, but that doesn't necessarily mean we'll sell him. I'm not normally in favour of keeping p...

On the surface it looks like Wolves have got a couple of easy games. Good luck to them, I’m just glad we’re not involved.

That was 'car crash' tv for me. I was watching thinking that in a months time one of these guys will be leading the country. We really are in trouble.

Your never know it could be a bargaining tool if we were interested in Kalvin Phillips.

Absolutely devastating news. RIP Justin.

I personally think its as poor a back 5 that England have put out in a long while. I don't think Pickford has a reassuring presence. Walker may be ok playing in a 3-5-2 but not in a back 4. Chilwell has potential but he's far from the finished article. As for Maguire and particularly Stones. If we'r...

I think VAR will have a detrimental affect on football. It's going to affect spontaneity, the'll be no flow, and more importantly it will take the passion out of the game. As someone alluded to further up the thread, players and fans won't celebrate until a decision has been confirmed. What about FA...

I have this image of SK his second spell steaming down the middle of a very heavy TM pitch in atrocious conditions to score a goal, and rescue a match. Can't remember the opponents but it was a sight to behold.

ashtonlongsider

Quite possibly the greatest British sportsman of all time.

ashtonlongsider

Two of our best ever signings Peter Noble and Graham Alexander were deemed to be past there best but what great servants they turned out to be.

ashtonlongsider

Excellent start. I thought we were a few runs light with our total. Certainly would have been against Australia or India. That said a good start. That catch from Stokes was 'out of this world'.

ashtonlongsider

Go on then I'll pay a long overdue visit to the DW. Also take in Fleetwood if it looks a good night. Overall I'm not too much into friendlies and testimonials.

I first heard the quote from SD aired on Sky towards the end of the season. It's common sense, however I'll be surprised if there's no incomings from Europe or further afield in the next few months. He's certainly not said he's exclusively only looking at the British and Irish market.

ashtonlongsider

Excellent read CT. Difficult to sum up my emotions at the final whistle. We achieved something that I also never envisaged happening in my life time. However my abiding memory will always be of the euphoria quickly evaporating, before we got back to Wembley Park. Rumours were already spreading that ...

Probably the best opponent I've seen at TM since Fabregas, just for his cameo role towards the end of the 17/18 season. Don't somehow think it's the best move for him at present, were he to move to RM.

ashtonlongsider

Just heard the news and I’m delighted. Quite a lengthy contract. Think he must have be given plenty of reassurances as can’t imagine him wanting another season on the edge of proceedings.

ashtonlongsider

I personally think Dawson's been bang average in the Championship from what I've seen of him this year. Not sure how long he has left on his contract but £15m seems quite excessive IMO.

ashtonlongsider

Keith Newton.

ashtonlongsider

Absolutely No.

ashtonlongsider

Think it's fair to say Tarks hasn't been as consistent this season. He's had good spells in most games but not over 90 minutes. Certainly better last season IMO.

ashtonlongsider

Wasn't impressed with Villa, and I've not been impressed all season to be honest. Everything goes through Grealish. Yes they've got other good individuals, but collectively for me their a bit like the United of the Championship. If they were to gain promotion i think they'd need heavy investment and...

I couldn't believe it when Crouchy came on when we were in dire need of trying something different. Just wonder what Vydra must be thinking. Much as I like Crouch we need to be looking at other options given the wages he'd no doubt command.

ashtonlongsider

Yes. Think last week just highlighted how powerful the PL is and to be competing at this level at this moment gives me great pride. Long may it continue.

ashtonlongsider

Heaton 6-On TH's form in last couple of games I wouldn't be too hasty selling Pope just yet. Lowton 7-Had a good game. Tarkowski 7-Solid couple of good blocks. Mee 8*-Was excellent apart from his part in the mistake leading to their 1st goal. Taylor 5-Think the game passed him by. Was hoping for War...

IMO never thought he was the right man. He papered over the cracks. If United had stuck with Mourinho they'd have as a minimum finished in the top 4. Very, very big job ahead at United. Be interesting to see where they are come October of November but I think they'll be a lot of changes.

ashtonlongsider

Shouldn't be surprised by anything in football but I find this decision quite staggering. Don't buy into this rumoured negativity around him. He's been a top manager wherever he's been. Brighton first and foremost objective this season was to stay in the PL, end of. Hope they start playing tiki-taka...

ashtonlongsider

Most definitely. The only problem now is how much a modern day Robbie would cost?

ashtonlongsider

PB's had a brilliant second half to the season and thoroughly deserves a seasons extension. Certainly an outfield leader that were in short supply before Christmas.

ashtonlongsider

Couldn't believe how he didn't win The PFA Young Player of the Year award. Mature beyond his years and if he keeps his feet on the ground will be an England regular for the next decade.

ashtonlongsider

Still think there's plenty of football left in GC. He reads the game well and comes up with a few goals. Not sure if were interested or not, but if we were it could be a shrewd bit of business. My hunch is him ending up at somewhere like Fulham.

ashtonlongsider

I think it's inevitable within the next decade that Everton will move to a new ground. Kings Dock, Kirby or wherever. However Goodison Park for me is one of the most atmospheric traditional grounds and Everton's heart and soul will always dwell there. Even though we were taken to the cleaners, it wa...

Thought at one stage we were in for a repeat of the Boxing Day massacre. Thankful in the end it was just the two, but our short-fallings are there for all to see. Heaton 5-Can't be too hard on Tom as he's instrumental in saving our season, but that second was one howler. Lowton 4-A concern position ...

The year Leicester won the PL, I think their stats showed they had the one of the least possession and accuracy in pass rates. Yet they won the league in a canter at the end. This stat malarky is a load of nonsense. Can't see many criticising Atletico Madrid and they play a very similar style. As Dy...

Alsop High School on Queens Drive about 7 minutes from Goodison. Think they charge £7 but secure parking.

ashtonlongsider

Wouldn't surprise me to see Tarks move on in the summer but I think it will be to a a bigger club than Leicester.

ashtonlongsider

Heaton 9-Another captains performance Lowton 8-Worked hard, very unlucky with their goal. Tarkowski 9-Fantastic second half. Mee 9*-Just shaded MOM from his partner. Taylor 7-His defending has really improved, but he can be wasteful when in possession at times. Hendrick 8-I was staggered when he was...

Just reading through the preview and paying particular attention to paras 3-5. Well summed up CT. If someone had told me on Boxing Day that we'd be safe with 3 games to go, I wouldn't have believed them. For all the world we looked dead and buried. The Everton match and manner of performance totally...

City are obviously a great team. However, if it's a toss up watching either them or Liverpool, I'd choose the latter every time (don't tell the missus). I think Guardiola will go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest football coach of all time. However, personally I couldn't watch that ty...

To be honest I was dreading Kevin Friend reffing our game the other night, but in all fairness he did very well.

ashtonlongsider

Heaton 8-Assured handling and very composed under immense pressure Lowton 7-very shaky start. Chelsea had done their homework well. For me one of our weak areas RB. Tarkowski 8- Absolutely towering performance. Mee 9-Magnificent MOM. Taylor 8-Surely the best English LB in the country. Hendrick 8-Not...

There seems to be lots of problems at United. OGS did a good job I guess in and steadying the ship. However what’s he got on his cv managerial wise to warrant a 3 year contract? That said as long as he can steer United to a win on the last day of the season he’ll do for me.

ashtonlongsider

Anyone else going ? I'll be driving passed around lunch time. However I'll not be going. Probably catch the last 30 minutes on TV. This season was always going to be transitional for the Warriors, but I don't think anyone could have predicted how poor it would pan out. Don't think the 2 point penal...

ashtonlongsider

All keepers like outfield players have a mistake in them. De Gea has been United's player of the season for 4 out of the last 5 seasons. I think that says all you need to know.

ashtonlongsider

Doesn't surprise me at all that the "vultures are circling'. DMc is going to be the real deal. A good point in our favour is the lad seems to have his head screwed on and appears mature beyond his age. SD will also help keep him grounded. I cannot see any reason why he would want to go anywhere anyt...

ashtonlongsider

Can I be greedy and say 12 points. Seriously, i'd like us to beat Arsenal. The only so called top six side we've failed to defeat thus far in PL era.

ashtonlongsider

RIP Tommy. Known as a hard man but he was a very good footballer. He used to have a pub called Smithies at Billinge that I used to frequent on occasions in the '80’s.
