Agree every word (tho think McCormack lively if not clinical)

Hutton . . . THERE'S JUST NO POINT MARAUDING INTO DEAD ENDS

Entirely agree with your sentiments on Terry.

Wish I could be paid nearly 9K to watch tennis for the day while everyone else was at work. I think this is piss poor by him and the club.

Totally agree about Richards. As for Hutton  well he seemed to be looking for the ball more than anyone else.

I was in the ticket office two weeks ago. They had no till. I bought two tickets for Duisburg and the guy in the ticket office had to go out the back to find £1.50! He couldn't issue the tickets, so promised to post them. Still waiting. And as for the empty club shop...

It's women's finals day on Saturday so there's no way we will see Terry on Saturday with all those females kicking about SW19.

Loved this...

Agree about Richards. When i was watching i thought he just looked like some bloke in a kick-about who can do the odd thing but is clearly out of his depth. Diving in on the edge of the box in the first half when their attacker just shifted the ball from right to left was laughable. He ended up on his arse. laughable. Then went on a 'marauding' run that end up with him over running the ball losing it and struggling to get back. He's awful and his career is ending in about 2 years.

Nobody will take Richards off our hands will they?

We should give him to Blues as a neighbourly gift.

Absolutely. We should pretend to fight to keep him, that would seal the deal

Or release that we're offering him a new 10 year deal because he's found oil in his boots. Harry will be on the phone before the ink is drying at birmingham press.

I agree.  It doesn't send out a great message really, especially when there have been so many concerns raised about his signing.

But as we don't know the reasons behind his absence there's little point commenting negatively.

Perhaps Terry bought the Wimbledon tickets ages ago before the transfer?

If any of us start a new job you would be asked if you have any planned holiday - I am sure he had already booked these seats and as such told SB and we honoured it. If he was caught out on the piss or gambling then that is a different matter

I think it ended 2 years ago really.

There is zero chance anyone will take Richards surely

Gotta hope we can shift elphick then - as having two centre halves in the squad that you wouldn't want to play in any circumstances is shocking!

Totally agree. I've just employed a legal person who has been working for me for less than a month and is away for a week skiing next week (lucky ba%&^rd).

Any one actually believe he would have problems getting tickets when he wants them?
