I nearly replied at 1 in the morning, after several posts. But I've only got a singular ten thousand posts. So, I know you didn't mean me. 🙂

Attention (I is going nowheres. Huff)

If not this year, then next is looking good. Taking whatever league by storm... Baz Sugawara - Stephens - Wood - Manning BBD - Bragg - Robinson - Edozie Archer - Downs

Goodbye

From the people who mass marketed Dreamcatchers, try new Bateman's Dream-mangler. Just place anywhere in the home, and will emit an air of time worn oppression, sure to add the weight of years to your shoulders. "I now realise the futility of ogling athletes, who wouldn't give me the time of day," said one user. "I had no idea further generations had happened, until my first restraining order," said another. That's the power of the Bateman Dream-mangler. Bringing existential terror and cold reality to a forum near you!

I'm sure if the Superleague comes back in the summer, they'll be sure to be asked, as befits one of our very top sides. 🙂

Boruc in for Davis/Gazzaniga? Like Baz, I was very late in seeing that Davis really wasn't up to it in the PL.

Interesting. There might be mileage in having a poster seeing both sides of things, on an ongoing basis. 🙂 I think Baz did make a significant difference to our fortunes. He was a key part in Russball. It played perfectly to Baz's strengths and made Martin's tactic much more effective. We still see the benefits of it, playing out from the back. I was in the pack of "could he have done better?" for quite a while, before the penny dropped that he very rarely did. Low and to the left. Low and to the left. I agree there are always other factors. But the moment McCarthy and Peretz came in, you could see the defence look a lot more comfortable as a unit. As much as I wanted Baz to do well, it's been a significant improvement.

There goes my theory that age difference criticism, from her dad Jude, was the reason for Bellingham's selection problems. 🙂

Next season's strike force of Downs and BBD will take everyone by surprise.

Job done with two lovely, early goals. Charles' strike was fantastic. But the first was such a good goal under our formation. A great through ball by the ever improving THB, an assist from a wide player to an actual presence in the box. Just what we've needed for such a long time. Apart from a defensive comedy moment, that in fairness, we've not seen anywhere near as much of, we were comfortable. We keep our 6th spot going into the break, which once seemed so far away.
