Sexy football from Bananaman

Soccer Saturday just took a cheat shop at us.
After reporting on the goal, Stelling said "last years semi finalists ....and last won it in 1957" which brought laughter from the other boys.

Just a reference to a conversation they had earlier on, I think - they were talking about our proud history in the cup, but then Jeff Stelling couldn't remember the year we last won it.

Ah ok, thanks for that.

Bannon scorcher of a shot, went close.

We've been well on top so far from what I can tell from the commentary.

Blimey the crowd looks sparse.

Bannan having a stormer by the sounds.

I wish he would start more.  His passing game is top drawer.

Barry Bannan the next Charlie Adam??

Ditto. Never mind Adam, we have Bannan who could fulfill that role. Now that we've got a more solid midfield, I'd like to see BB as the playmaker of a midfield 3. In a midfield 2, he's just too small.

Absolutely.  I would accomodate him by leaving out a one of the three wide players.   Downing to be frank.

The old man....get in
