Your best 'press' in my opinion.  The point made about the number of deaths when it shut down being smaller than when it 'reopened' particularly cutting.  I watched the game (£9.99 via Now TV) and it felt like I was watching somebody play a computer game.  I wont' be paying another £9.99, but I'm institutionalized enough to care about the results and 'maybe' watch without paying.  Like you say, it's just the games that get in the way of enjoying being a fan...

As for the performance, I think we need to play 2 up front to score enough goals to get the wins to stay up and play Jack more centrally.  Unfortunately I don't think we will (stay up), based on last night's game.

Great read, Dave. Our game against Chelsea is on Sunday not Saturday.

That's because the host server people are pissing about. It should have been fixed a week ago.
