Salah did nothing until he converted the injury time pen. Hartman had him in his pocket.

Well the two shockers there are CP, only 3, and how Brentford get 7 I’ll never understand.

Brentford is where Sky’s offices are based. A cheap and easy day out for their matchday team.

2016 Burnley 2 - 0 Liverpool “Liverpool failed to build on their opening weekend win over Arsenal as they slumped to a miserable 2-0 defeat at Premier League new boys Burnley. First-half goals from Sam Vokes and Andre Gray ensured the Clarets celebrated their first league win over the Reds since 19...

….. a twist in the tale maybe?

What was his injury?

IWOODLOVETT

If Luis signs he would have 2 weeks to prove that he could take on Cullen’s role allowing the captain to adopt the attacking midfield role. Cullen is quick, creative, can tackle, anticipates and has proved he can finish.

Delcroix leaving rather than Worrall please. Worrall is the best we have in the air and the only CB likely to pose an attacking threat at corners.

… or defending a threat at set pieces - I’m pretty sure ManU will use McGuire on Saturday ( let alone the Arsenal party-piece later this year).

This promises to be a good fit with all the other club initiatives, so i'm delighted to have joined.

Vincent Kompany arrived in June and had 2 months pre-season to recruit and develop his squad. The owners were so impressed by his arrival that they gave him virtually a free hand with regards to transfers. He was able to attract a good number of good, young players, money seemed to be readily availa...

Saturday’s low-key FA cup fixture against lower league opposition came as a huge bonus for Scott Parker. Apart from giving his entire first team 2 weeks rest and preparation time for the important game against Sunderland, it enabled him to give game time to most fringe players/ to introduce new sign...

IWOODLOVETT

There were two other things that I noticed about MT on Saturday (apart from his speed of thought for the 2nd goal and the hug with his manager on introduction to the game). 1. He was heavily mobbed by his teammates for the assist. Much affection and genuine pleasure on display, so he is clearly a po...

IWOODLOVETT

It’s great that we have a full team of “fringe” players that should see off Reading.
This gives us a very, very good break to fully prepare for a vital home game against an impressive Sunderland, who meanwhile will have to get past a stubborn Stoke side to progress in the FA Cup.

IWOODLOVETT

IWOODLOVETT

We might want put one or two in the shop window.

IWOODLOVETT

They don’t all need a rest agreed, but it might be more a case of avoiding unnecessary injuries and/or risking any potential transfer exits.

IWOODLOVETT

The team for Reading will be interesting - it could look like this:

Hladký
Sonne/ Worrall/ Egan/ Pires
Agyei/ Laurent (capt)/ Massengo/ Koleosho
Foster/ Rodriguez

Bench to include:
Barnes/ Ekdal/ Hountondji

Nixon story this morning saying we want Tresor to play before he leaves.

What if …… he plays this final game on the 4th January - against our neighbours and scores the winner? Would all be forgiven ?

IWOODLOVETT

About a month ago in one of Parker’s interviews he singled out Koleosho and Trafford as two ‘young players with enormous potential’. No one else just those two, which struck me at the time as an invitation to potential buyers. I now think that this may have been the manager’s way of testing the mark...

All shook up ….. or “ blossom @rsehole” as it’s also known as.

IWOODLOVETT

How about Graham Branch ?

IWOODLOVETT

Foster, Ramsey = a few weeks away ( must mean new year) Benson behind them. Scott bigging up Trafford and Koleosho (hopefully not with a view to the January window) 3 centre halves getting game time. No news on Lord Lucan.

IWOODLOVETT

Never supported anyone other than Burnley.

IWOODLOVETT

Here’s my take, The first 5 games were challenging and took us to the end of August i.e. the end of the transfer window. During that time we played Luton (perceived as a likely promotion rival). Cardiff ( trying to play expansive football). Sunderland + Leeds (who have both proved to be top Champion...

IWOODLOVETT

He did that at Leeds and I think he was fined for incitement.

IWOODLOVETT

A standing ovation from the Ashton Gate faithful when he left the field. A very popular captain and underrated player. Playing in his best position, his work rate and covering (observed from an upper tier halfway position) allowed Cullen to have his best game this season and released Hannibal to pre...

Colin McDonald a Claret legend through and through and one of the best keepers ever. He is one of the reasons that I have always passionately followed BFC (from afar) and I still have a copy of Football Monthly, which features him on the front cover.

I wish him a very, very happy birthday.

Is Delacroix and/or Tresor there ??

Tough games are derby’s but whatever route can Al fix it ??

I really, honestly, genuinely do not understand the thinking of some people on here. We are playing in what is considered to be one of the hardest leagues in the world and, considering the almost biblical exodus of players and the work needed doing by Parker and his team we are actually doing very ...

You'd think it'd do the players reputation some good on this occasion to give a bit more info regarding this illness. A couple of throwaway comments from Parker is a bit poor when we are talking about one of our record signings who's hardly been seen since signing Oh dear, yet another opportunity t...

He shouldn’t start ahead of Cullen but he might take Brownhill’s place !!

Just dug out a match programme for ur away game at Fratton Park on Monday 1st April 2002. It was Harry Redknapp’s second game in charge. Also amongst their ranks were Eddie Howe and Wolves manager, Gary O’Neil. On our bench was a certain Paul Gascoigne, who made an appearance late in the game to a s...

How did Egan shape up Tony ??

IWOODLOVETT

I’m sorry if this has become a “mine’s bigger than yours” argument. My original post was intended to give early recognition of the hard work and team bonding success that the new manager has achieved in turning around our club from the shambles it had become.

IWOODLOVETT

Exactly - modest opposition when compared to the teams at the start of this season.
Rewriting unnecessary.

IWOODLOVETT

Likely to go on for years without a conclusive result.

IWOODLOVETT

Team spirit seemed pretty good when Burnley were winning the league at Ewood, losing just three games all season. Parker has made a good start and the players certainly seem to be playing for him. Here's to more results like the one at Elland Road! But let's not just pretend that Kompany's first se...

I don’t need or want to elaborate but most will agree that some such as Muric, Benson, Zaroury, Charlie Taylor, Amdouni, Tresor, McNally, Twine, Al Dakhil, Ekdal, Messinga, Robert’s etc. we’re all denied a run in side for various reasons and some languished on the bench without any sub appearances, ...

What an huge and impressive impact Scott Parker has made in the short time he’s been here. After the chaos of last season and the subsequent departure of VK plus several members of his staff, it looked as though Scott Parker had been handed a poisoned chalice. Then came the ‘revolving doors’ of the ...

IWOODLOVETT

Roberts will have inside knowledge of the strengths/weaknesses of Leeds and how they set up against the likes of us. I think he had high hopes of a permanent contract with them and will want to show them what they’ve missed if he’s fit to play.

IWOODLOVETT

I may be wrong, but I think that he captained his country in a midfield position in the recent friendly at Wembley.

He was the best of a very bad munch. We struggled with a decent keeper after Crichton left. Then we got Heaton and Pope. Two of the best keepers to ever play for the club.

Yep, Heaton, Pope - plus Hart and Lindegaard - all 4 international keepers at the same time.
