When we signed him, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to expect. I saw him play for AC in March, whilst he wasn’t at all poor, he didn’t stand out; signing for Burnley could easily be seen as playing into the narrative of ‘winding down’ or ‘finished at the top level’, but not a bit of it. Absolute class...

I’d honestly play that starting 11 on Saturday against City Let them take the inevitable thumping and protect the first teamers for Villa We’re not carrying that performance into the City game though. We’ve been competitive in every league game this season so far. I could well be wrong but I don’t ...

Conceding possession at home to league one opposition is unforgivable really.

No point getting carried away, majority of that side won’t be close to being a regular, but horrible performance and horrible tactics employed.

No replay. From the stand.

Fair enough, will have looked quick in real time but hard to argue from TV. Real conspiracy would be not getting a penalty in that scenario. Shame it takes away from what really was a fantastic performance

He jumps to block. Arm is natural position. Its blasted at him with no time to react. Big club pen, we won't get those. Big Les is off for second yellow, first yellow should not happen because of the foul on Ekdal before. Like I said small inconsistencies in their favour and then late on he gives t...

I can’t believe anyone thinks there’s any sort of conspiracy here. It’s as nailed on a penalty as you will ever see. Ridiculous from Hannibal. He knows he is in the area, why is he moving his arms anywhere.

Hard to take, but once again we’re our own worst enemies, don’t give a decision to make

Well Josh Laurent is doing his best to make up for those not having one!

Talksport is the radio version of clickbait. Only interested in the ‘big’ clubs as they define them. I don’t listen anymore for this reason. Standard of punditry is also going down the pan, seems to be a trend of bringing former pros in that can barely string an intelligible sentence together; I’d h...

Doesn't really mean much without knowing how many appearances each has made. Disagree with this completely - to score a goal in the premier league is scoring a goal in the premier league. Of course nobody in their right mind would say Chris wood was better than Drogba, but you can’t underplay what ...

Tony Ellis in the Stan era. Did score though

I was at the San Siro for the AC vs Lazio game in early March (which Lazio won 2-1). Tchaouna started; from my slightly hazy memory (took advantage of in-seat beers), he didn’t play as an out and out striker, but looked neat and tidy on the ball. Not a game of huge quality so probably unfair to judg...

Absolutely delighted with this. His value to the club is more than just on the pitch, I’ve no doubt we’ll look a far more cohesive squad than we did in our last season under Kompany; he’ll be a huge part of that!

Absolutely no different to when we had Hollands pies as a sponsor. Would much rather have a local sponsor with meaningful connection than a faceless and questionable gambling firm, but each to their own!

Brilliant challenge

Of course nobody knows whether he’ll be a fan favourite, he needs to play for that to be confirmed or otherwise, but I completely agree that all the signs are there. He’s a young lad that seems to want to be here and do well, and is making all the effort to understand the history and culture of the ...

I’m not sure the logic of giving him a few games in to next season works; by this point he’s shaped a summer of recruitment and decided tactically what we wants us to be again next season. It’d be a big risk to get rid at this point and expect someone else to come in and turn it around. I don’t know...

Hmm, there’s a term I thought had been consigned to the 80’s Completely agree, I would hope this was ignorance of the term rather than intentional. Back to the football…..surprised there’s so much negative feeling tonight, Luton will make life tough for a lot of teams at home, we found a way to win...

All about the result in this game! Made even sweeter by Tim Sherwood almost crying in the stream I was watching - beautiful

Loved the defence in that era of Thomas, Davis and Cox. You could tell Thomas had played a higher level. Saying that, the first game that comes to mind for some reason is the 4-3 home game vs. Millwall. Out of sight and cruising to begging for the final whistle! Didn’t appreciate how old (in footbal...

That’s numberwang!

Amazing; thanks for taking the time to post these - much appreciated! Been to Italy a few times, but never to Naples so really looking forward to it, always had the impression it’s not just for tourists (which is does feel a bit like in places like Venice), and granted it sounds like areas you’d wan...

RVclaret, heading to Naples in October on honeymoon; we’ve got 4 nights in Rome first and then have two in Naples. We’re planning to head to Pompeii on the first day, but any recommendations of places to see in the city on the second day/good places to eat? Second day will be fairly relaxed, we usua...
