They have worked with Emi before too, so I'm sure there won't be an issue.

Didn't know were else to put this but Cutler has left.

Gerrard and Purslow take a bow.

To be fair to MacPhee his set play routines are probably responsible for about 20% of our goal output this season.

Yep, if he didn't have long hair, there wouldn't be half the abuse he gets.
I still think people would be wondering what the fuck they get up to all week; the appearance thing just provides an opportunity to rip the piss.

He quite clearly likes the attention and the comparison to what some of the world think Jesus might have looked 2,000 years ago.

McPhee staying on, Danks not working with the first team but has been offered 'another role'.

we just don't seem to defend them very well. And we still haven't scored from one in the PL for ages. I still don't get that.

They don't get any more direct than Luiz's goal against Arsenal!

I'm not talking about corners. I get they were great and they count in the overall calculation. But we don't ever score direct free kicks which you have to think are easier than direct from a corner.

Our failure to score direct from a free kick is all down to piss poor technique rather than any coaching. If Luiz can get them on target when all he can see is the outside of one post, you'd think he'd do a bit better when he can see the whole of the goal.

Yeah I don’t get that either.
