It's a cyst, innit?

A cysts don't count.

Very very good :)

Indeed - surely that's enough for Smirker to smirk and return.

I think it's more likely that Percy will rock up and (correctly) point out that he first made that joke 3 months ago.

Not accusing Monty of plagiarism, but it has been done before on here.

I think if Percy does do that he might find himself sleeping with the fishes.

Could someone play back the tape and retrieve? PWS is usually good at quoting old posts, mostly his own  ;)

When he tried to go round the goaly when it was easier to shoot sums Ollie up. As someone said earlier if  he has to much time to think the panic sets in. I can see why he is first pick though he is such a tryer.

Yes and he scored a really good goal to win the game. Hopefully that triggers him to go on one of his goal scoring streaks.

Tammy is a more natural finisher definitely, but I think where he struggles more is occupying defenders, getting the team up the pitch.

I know we were playing out for a clean sheet when Tammy came on but he hardly got involved. Wouldn't be surprised if Elliot had more touches.

Tammy better striker, Ollie a much better footballer. Both on form Ollie is better. Both off form, neither is good.

His movement was lovely at times last night and his hold up play did us a lot of favors. As ever, he'll get pelters for not making the most of a really good opportunity and rightly so to some extent, but Tammy was largely invisible when he came on. He just doesn't exploit the space anywhere near as well.
