I wish they would stop hoofing the ball just keep it on the deck for God sake.

Evening all,
Well you guys will have to be my eyes and ears for this one. Stuck here in the arse end of Africa does have its pit falls..

We are looking very, very scruffy. No shape, we seem to want to get rid of the ball as soon as we get it.

And their bench is stronger than ours. That's not right.

[Mac]

Anybody else got Yorke as co-commentator?

Eyes and ears?

Eyes: imagine The Scream, against a background of disused coal mines.

Ears: imagine the low rumble of moaning.

Come and get it and, in particular Petrovs case, don't pass it back every single time.
