Pedro

Will this mean the return of Corp Ho, surely he won't be able to resist a touch of gloating.

Got carried until the end., 10th because of Stoke and now Burnley winning, think I'll shut up

Crazy, if the scores stay then we will go up to 9th on GD

I see Harry Lewis is in for the under 23's today, I hope his confidence is not shattered after the Arsenal game and two new keepers signed, one slightly older on loan and a younger one from Yeovil. I think the FA Cup game could have shattered a few like Isgrove who failed a medical at Bristol City, did we send him unfit or didn't our fantastic medical team know he wasn't fit. I have to say that the squad for the final looks strong, shame about Virgil.

Dangerbrain not Dangermouth.

Swansea lost and Leicester losing keeps them still 6 points away from us and our goal difference is worth a point although I think they play each other next week. Will we put Bertand on Defoe next week with Sam at left back, massive game.

Already 2 down and Fonte not looking good

I've missed the VMAN's contribution, why the comments?

And Eric Black to take the reins until the end of the season, God help us.

As a matter of interest, how do you dig up a thread from over 8 years ago? I can never find something from yesterday.

I think he has been located

I always thought Black was an odd appointment given his recent history at Villa, if we wanted an interpreter (again) then get a specialist in and a better coach or whatever his title is. Will always be training ground bust ups but Black just doesn't seem to connect with us, I hope our next management team have a better charisma about them than this boring lot, although all will be forgiven if we have good run of results.

They had a 10 day break before the Spurs game, should have been refreshed enough not to lose 4-1

The Echo website reporting VVD now at 3-1 to join Everton, down from 16-1. Surely he's got bigger ambitions than that.

Couldn't buy mine in the Itchen Centre, was told that they were all sold out. In fact they are "unavailable" and not sold out according to the colour code,also told the ticket office that I tried to book the seat immediately I had the email so it was impossible to sale every seat in that space of time. We pay premium prices for season tickets, no concessions at all but for this match there are apparently no reserved seats. I can live with it but don't like the porkies, rather told the truth.

Must be mistaken, I though they get about 6k for cup games, a higher percentage of the capacity than for league games. Also, surprised to read it is not sold out as someone was asking for tickets on Facebook.

The main thing that hacks me off with these big cup games is the away supporters get the majority of the Northam end and ruins any home advantage we may have.

Our 10 tens days off/rest certainly helped against THFC.

Still, no fear of Puel being poached by a bigger club.

I think Adam Blackmore tweeted there as about 10 minutes of animated conversation between Puel and Fonte on the pitch just before the team was announced. I admit to assuming it was probably a less than friend chat.

A bit more unrest apparently today, a shame it looks likely that he will go, has been a legend for us in our rise back up the leagues.

Watching the goals from the youth cup I noticed MU had sponsored shirts but we only have first team shirts with the sponsors name on, anyone know the reason for this. Even a pub team got names on their shirts.

Got a Steua Bucharest silk one that I swapped over there.

I had never really heard of Puel before we appointed him but I was worried about us employing Eric Black as his assistant considering his recent flirt with Villa. He doesn't seem to get involved much at all on the bench.

I don't see him as anything special but I think some hack gave him star man in a red top today and also there have been a few shouts for him to be promoted from England under 21's to senior team. Amazing.
