Used full time in the A League now in Oz. Worryingly, there are still problems with interpretation by the VAR officials (there was a clear offside decision which was not given earlier in the season, which just gives credibility to the Danny Baker's of this world), but it will get better (and quicker).

Must have been the crowd egging them on.

I was talking to a friend of Alan Kennedy on Christmas Day. He said Alan was asked by Lawrie McMenemy to sign on to "get them out of the division". He did by taking them down

There's already one when he comes on to the pitch

Is it only me, but I am concerned about even having Hayden in the team at the moment. While I want to have a box to box midfielder, I think his priority at the moment should be covering the back four. I noticed a number of times him ambling back to cover when he was caught out of position, and he should have been the player covering when Perez was forced to do so (not that that excuses Perez for being caught out himself). He was the furthest forward when Joselu scored as well. He was very good in the Championship, but he seems to have the Tiote disease now of trying to do more than he is capable of doing, instead of just doing the simple stuff first. There is a reason why Arsenal were happy to let him go. Also, Merino is clearly one of our best players, but players who do clever flicks off the side of the boot better make sure they hit their man, or they end up looking very stupid.

Even if he was free of criminal proceedings, which is unlikely, it is just not worth it with the Ashes gone.

It is the same thinking again and again. Bouncy Australian wickets, so bowl short. Of course, not what the locals do, but that is what it says in the manual. Given that our bowlers are 10kph slower (at their fastest) than the Aussies, line and length must be paramount. Why do they keep making the same mistakes?

That's a bit of a sad recommendation for a bowler

Staveleyin.com?

Or more likely hope that Mark Wood is fit

Thank God that Dummett is nearly fit again

Gave up reading after that

The ground is owned by the Council, I think, and is only leased.

Last team not to qualify, with Peru beating them yesterday in a final playoff

Probably us for talking about the twat

Could well be. The craic at the time was more fun than the game Also remember being thrown out of the Gallowgate at one time for sitting on a wall - seemed a bit harsh at the time.

First game, in the Leazes in the mid to late 70's, when the match was called off. Can't remember who we were playing, though Nobody very happy

They'd give it back if they had any sense

Giggs was a brilliant player, but I doubt that he can be a good manager. Those sorts of players find it very difficult to deal with players who don't have their own natural skills, and cannot understand that other players cannot do what comes naturally to them. The same applied to Souness. It is no surprise that some of the best managers were never good players. On the other hand, Carra (with his Liverpool hat on) may just be hoping that Everton get relegated

FFS. Stop making rational, coherent, sensible arguments here.

I think it was more a case of their only match winner not being injured.

He was fine until Ant infected his computer

Only someone like him would fail to do that sort of due diligence
