I feared the worst when I saw our kit. All yellow.Put me in mind of that ghastly dirge by Indy Rock Beat Combo Coldplay and that caterwauling long streak of piss with the horses teeth who was slipping a length to Gwyn Poltroon the emaciated actress. The video for the song had the eejit stumbling goggle eyed along a rain swept beach as though he had just been on the pipe. At least Gabby has now built sufficient physical mass to win most of the sumo wrestling contests which are an integral part of most crosses into the box these days and he did put himself about early doors. If he continues to expand at the current rate of growth however, he will achieve Grant Holt "proper man" status sooner rather than later and be the object of pie-based ribaldry.
Can we not just try, at least once, just to see if it works, Gueye, Sanchez, Vertetout. Amavi and Richards as full backs. I'm sick of seeing crosses fly in almost uncontested by the fullbacks. Defend like your life depends on it you fucking fannys, don't wave your leg half heartedly at the ball, block it, throw yourself at it, do whatever it takes. And having 3 in the middle, all of whom can be combatative, because I'm sick of runs going unchallenged from the half way line to the edge of the box whilst Westwood the wimp gets shrugged off the ball like he's a year 7 kid playing against some year 11's.

I saw Richardson and Bacuna bottle tackles last night, jumping out so as not to get hurt. Such passion for our cause.

In my confused kind I can't avoid th conclusion that it wasn't predetermined that the Villa/Saints ball was going to be picked out in that sequence. So if you re-ran that moment in time over and over again you'd expect a variety of results. Which means if Villa had won, the whole draw would almost certainly have been different. And we'd have been destined to draw City!

Can't remember '87 away strip, but I'm sure we had a yellow and blue away strip in 69/70 when we went down to the third division?

A 0-0 at WHL and then a 0-0 at home to CIŁy would feel like a domestic trophy win just now
