Meniscus. (Sp)

My apologies it is Indeed called a 'convex meniscus'

AfloatinClaret

Meniscus is a knee cartilage
No idea what that convex surface is called, but it's surface tension that causes it.

Too little too late, a fair result.

Pretty much injured for 2 years makes the decision to sign him even worse .

Pity the club didn't consult you first seen as it sounds like you apparently knew that he was going to be ill/injured.

I believe that will be the formation for the League all season, no reason to change it for cup games.

If these lads (hopefully not too many at once) are going to be the ones to step in to cover injuries/bans, it makes sense to practice that set up.

My first real disappointment of the season. I thought (or perhaps just hoped) that we could and would beat Forest.

Nothing like 5 minutes. Should have been around 3 minutes tops.

Take the specs off, Anthony was down for longer than that

Heartbreaking

Anthony must be bloody knackered!

Conceding the corners is a smart ploy, pulls their defenders forward leaving space for Foster and Anthony to run into.

Peter Lovenkrands talks out of his backside, he thinks the Scotland defender should’ve been sent off.

Never mind a red, I didn't think it was even a free kick/yellow card; the ball only hit his upper arm rather than head because the Danish lad had given him a tug

It sounds as if Wilkinson was being paid £2k/month for his recommendations, while the bargain priced property in Spain they were being advised to buy was owned (having been bought for far less) by a company owned by one of their advisors' wives.

Baker 56 off four overs while Archer has gone for five at the other end.

Showing improvement then, he went for 34 off hit first two, so only 22 off the second two.

In 1979 Trevor Francis became the first £1,000,000 British player. 46 years later in 2025, Alexander Isak cost Liverpool £125 million. Will we in 40-50 years see a footballer sold for £1 billion ? I suspect it more likely that we'll be back down to a point where paying a million will be headline ne...

3, can't believe we weren't in for Isak

My 'in the know' mate who drinks with the Newcastle Directors reckoned that we were, but once Isak started playing silly buggers we withdrew our £130 million offer... We don't want those sort of characters upsetting the rest of the squad squad.

Interesting that we're unchanged from the Sunderland game... it shows that SP doesn't fear United. Why would he? We're always likely to struggle against the top sides, so midtable clubs like ourselves need to go all out for three points whenever we're playing one of the relegation fodder minnows.
