Wild. Thought it was ok in a Straight Story sort of way. John Wick. Seemed a bit like Keanu Reeves trying to do a Steven Segal film with lots of action but very little plot. Got quite a decent supporting cast for the quality of film it is. Watchable in an 80's/90's actioner way. The Wolverine. I'd heard it was shit and had it for ages without bothering to watch it but I was off sick yesterday and couldn't be arsed with deadline day so I gave it a go. Was surprisingly watchable. Yes if I'm going to watch an XMen film I want more mutants than that but it wasn't bad at all.

Can't say I'm massively arsed about any of the players that have gone (except MYM who I still think could be a good player wit the right partner). We had three senior leftbacks on the books and I'm surprised that's been alowed to continue for so long. Is Santon better than the other two? Possibly due to more experience but not by a great deal and I've never been happy with having a first choice leftback who's right footed. Yes he provided cover for Janmaat too but you can understand he's not really going to want to be here just for that reason. It basically boils down to us having Dummett/Haidara as first choice with the other behind then Raylor and Colback who can both cover there if needed. At rightback we have Janmaat and Raylor as backup with Anita who can cover this season and then Saylor who can play there when he's fit. Whilst I don't think any of our fullbacks other than Janmaat are really good players (Haidara has pottential though), the reality is we are actually as well off in those positions as we are for any in the team. The (much) bigger problem is at centreback. For the rest of the season we have Colo and Williamson as first choice with Dummett (is he a fullback, is he a centreback?) as the only relatively senior cover. After that we're down to Good (never played a game for us and been injured most of the season) and Satka (who's never played anywhere more senior than Slovakia's U19's). It's a disgrace that we've done nothing to address this but not at all surprising. We just have to hope we have four out of the five of Janmaat/Colo/Williamson/Dummett/Haidara fit for most of the rest of the season or we could really get caught out. The loan of players (with the possible exception Mbabu) is just a complete waste of time for us other than it possibly opening up spaces in the U21's for younger players to try and step up in to the places that have been occupied by players who seem to have no possible future with us at all.

I couldn't resist.

Graham Fenton!

Roy Keane, Lee Cattermole

Fuck me Snijeder?

Which means we certainly won't get a good manager/head coach in the summer

Did Carnavaro go back to Inter?

Well since it appears that there's only you and me not bothering with work today I will tell you it's Effan Ekoku. Was it that Argie striker who's brother played for someone too. Can't think of his name at the minute.

Cambiasso, walter samuel, Eto?

You gave up on mine then?

Haha did it playing for Norwich

Was in the first two or three years of the premier league and he does the odd bit of comentary now on certain games.

A straight line approach would make sense as a player out of contract has no value as he move for free. On that basis your numbers seem sound.

Actually I've properly fucked it up. It is 6 and Pog is one of them. 1 more to get.

So it's 7 then. Yes on Dublin.

Did he manage one now too? This is off a few years ago like

Yes on the first three no on the pog

I'm sure you can google the rest

Aye, I just need to try and remember who they are

Have we done the 6 players who first and surname begins with the same letter who have scored a premier league hattrick?

Or Hasslebank?

It's not Dion Dublin is it?

Redcar is no great improvement on Stockton though

Then you have my deepest sympathies.
