Positive is that despite a horror showing we are no further behind and it's a week closer to the injured players returning.

My positive thoughts entirely..... a week closer to nicer warm weather and free flowing confident attacking football too,

FFS. Reading is a horrible town between Swindon and Slough, too.

Full of Chavs, displaced Cockneys and ManUre supporters.

Didn't realise our ex academy player Johnathan Hogg played for Huddersfield. The German commentators even said Southgate came to watch him the other day with view to a potential call up. What the hell? Sometimes I feel like Han Solo waking up from carbon sleep or South Park's prehistoric ice man from 1996. You stop really following football for a bit and it just goes wacky in the meantime.

Quite a few players we've let go would do a job for  us now. Although it seemed like the right time to sell them when we did. Bannan, Hogg & Albrighton to name a few.

We shouldnt have let Albrighton wind his contract down.

Hopefully we've learnt the lesson there.

Being selected for England is no big thing these days. Remember out of about 300 players involved in matches every weekend in the Premier League there are only 80 or so who are England qualified.

Jon Hogg playing tonight against Chelsea just looks so much better than Whelan in their central midfield.

Whelan doesn't play in their central midfield.

I know, but it doesn't feel as satisfying when I'm not being paid for it ;-)
