anyone ever hear what happened to Kozak?

Toe knack.

Reckons he'll be back in a week, he hopes. On twitter today.

ah...he might have been more effective than those who ended up playing even with a buggered toe. Anyway, what kind of pussy calls off sick with a toe problem?

Duchess of York had all sorts of grief with a toe problem (think Texan millionaire).

Not to mention David Mellor in a Chesea shirt and Antonia de Sancha with a toe sucking incident.

MOTD pretty flattering towards us tbh - it wasn't that even on the Sunday afternoon that i spent at Fulham!
But - still can't believe the poor penalty decisions that were/weren't given - the Fulham player backs into Bacuna then bounces off him on to the floor. What was it that Dean saw? Perhaps Gabby's flailing arms made it look a bit overcooked but it was a foul - Hughes "attempted" to go for the ball, missed it and caught Gabby smack on top of his ankle. Clear from where I was standing (sitting, Stewards, sitting!). Berbatov "made a back" for Herd on at least two occasions and committed a couple of "lazy, routine" fouls. AND kicked out at Herd while he was on the floor. Ref speaks to him twice but no further action. Can't remember what Delph was booked for now.
Tears made my view a bit swirly! ;-)

And I am fully expecting at least TWO apologies from the ex-ref/ref spokesman bloke for Dean's shit decisions.
Any day now....
Bound to happen...
Just waiting...

Ahhh well - thank you everyone for clearing that up without laughing me off the thread! Having not seen the whole thing, it was worth me checking it out!

Wade Elliott was in the same carriage as us on the train from Moor St to Marylebone and when we arrived he met up with Nikola Zigic who was already on the concourse, and a couple of other scum players.

I am quite sure if Okore had not got that injury, and Vlaar had stayed fot, things would be considerably different.   

Vlaar has only missed 1.5 matches, though, and we won one of them, so not really sure that's made much difference?



More to do with the reaction on here to the performance of the defence in the last 1.5 games without him, and the prospect of him missing for much longer.

I think it's the full backs that give more concern rather than the central defenders. Obviously Vlaar is important, especially as he's actually found some form but overall I and I think most on here were pleased with the performances of Clark and Herd.

Agree with that.  It seems to be in vogue at the moment in the Premier League to have full backs who are better at going forward than defending, but seeing as ours don't get forward all that well, I'd prefer to see a couple of steady types back there.  In Guzan, Vlaar and Okore, we've got a solid base - add two solid full-backs who can defend either side and we'd be a lot stronger back there.  Wonder what Earl Barrett and Alan Wright are doing these days?

Our fullbacks are terrible defensively and not great going forward.

Bacunas barely been over the half way line in recent games.
