Brentford at Griffin Park would do just fine. Nice and convenient and a ground I'm yet to visit. Plus there may be a few demons in the visiting dressing room that need exorcising.

From Paddington? I've done that before twice in one week, disembarking at Didcot and Oxford pissed and confused. Yeah, I got the 12.20 and woke up in Oxford at 1.45am. Obviously no trains going back at that time, so had to get a taxi back to Reading. Righto, I lived in Goring at the time near Pangbourne. At Oxford I awoke due to the guard kicking me awake, I was lucky enough to find a cab past midnight at the station who relieved me of 50 notes to get home. I argued with the cabbie at first about the price he quoted and stomped off up the road. Not a soul to be seen. He followed me after 5 minutes and got his fare no arguments It was 1.45am, i needed to be up for work at 6.50 (with the very real possibility of a having to feed a five month old during the night) and i'd just woken up, I just accepted the boot in the clems with grace!!

played against accrington as well He's a winger I think. But has looked great at left back in the two games I've seen him this season.

Wasn't he. Controlled the game for them when he came on. Made Zhirkov, Bennayoun and Rameires look like the kids.

That's two very assured performances from Shane Ferguson at left back. Looks a cracking player, if a little small.

What a night... Not even falling asleep on the train home and ending with a £60 taxi back from Oxford could dampen my spirits.

Under the old board, we used to dismiss the Carling Cup to concentrate on winning proper trophies!!

I knew I hadn't imagined that!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wear-11387989 Sunderland's Titus Bramble arrested over rape claim Titus Bramble has also played for Newcastle and Wigan Sunderland footballer Titus Bramble has been arrested after a woman was raped in a Newcastle hotel. The Premier League defender and a second man were arrested at the Vermont Hotel early on Wednesday and are being questioned by detectives. The 29-year-old was arrested on suspicion of rape after a call was made to the police by a woman in her 20s. Sunderland Football Club has so far not commented. Bramble joined the club from Wigan in the summer. A spokesman for Northumbria Police said two men, aged 29 and 30, were arrested on suspicion of rape. Bramble has also played for Newcastle United and Ipswich.

My first game of the season.

Slightly confused as to how, having not seen him for three years, a mortal drunk Combo could find Sean's house, when a couple of scenes earlier Sean said he'd recently moved house.

My one reservation about Tiote is he seemed to turn in to blind areas a lot. That's all well and good if you get away with it, but I can see occasions when he'll get caught in posession and it is quite easy for opposition midfielders to predict.

not won there since 01-02. cant see this being the team to halt that run..

What a pile of of horsehit. What criteria is this using. Ferguson being anything less than number one is proposterous. Dalgish won it and finshed second (twice iirc), yet he's behind O'Neill who hasn't ever finished in the top four. What has Hodgson achieved in the premier league?

Not finding it acceptable to either park your car or leave living room furniture on your front lawn.

If you're going out, can you pop into Waitrose and grab me some polenta and a bottle of Montrachet? There's a love. Yeah, get a receipt though, I'll put it on my next expenses claim. I used to work with the son of an MP (which is, in itself a middle class statement). He claimed £1 for crossing the Forth Bridge. A quid FFS.

I do the same. I had no idea I was being bourgeois, I thought it was me being lazy...

Why can't you relate to beards ffs?

Having a postcode that starts NE3...

You are mistaking middle class with benefits cheat who watches box sets all day. Nevertheless Anakin is a very cool name.

Without a hint of irony, I overheard someone in my office on the phone this morning complaining about her experience at Locanda Locatelli. She was less than impressed because the somellier didn't ask what they were eating to pair the wine. That's middle class..

The missus works for a family who have contracts with 12 staff inc PA, gardener, landscape gardener, handy man, nanny, swimming pool cleaner, internal decorator, two cleaners and a women who does the ironing. That's no longer middle class...

The name thing is North London personified. They're all called Rupert, Daisy (insert onomatopoeic middle name) or Moonpig.

They don't start until next week. My mother hoovers before the cleaner arrives. Weird.
