Just at random? What's the connection?

Big decision to be made by the club in June, should he stay, should we say no?

Yoshida won't go, he's one of those guys with passion and real leadership qualities and will join the junior team coaching staff at the end of his playing days and why not. Great inspiration for the kids with a superb work ethic. These guys don't grow on trees and let's face it how does he not compare well with erm! Kelvin Davis?

Must be worth £35m now and somebody might bite eh Kat?

Expect the Premier League to be reduced to 16 teams in the near future, partly to reduce so-called fixture congestion but also as the quality of the top 4, 6 or 8 as it might become soon continues to improve to world class through the unfair distribution of money in the game. How long before PL audiences tire of having to watch a half dozen or so championship sides endlessly recycling between the bottom of the PL and the top of the Championship playing a style of unattractive physical defensive football that is the antithesis of the Sky-perfect vision of the fast flowing beautiful game.

Leeds, Norwich, Sheff U

All this does is remind us all how old we're getting!

Your remark puzzled me. The new BBC2 feature is bang up-to-date with interviews with JWP, JV & RH and many video clips of last Saturday's astonishing victory over Spurs. Nothing 5 years old about it.

It's on the i Player now, BBC2. Just watched it, very complimentary. Do not miss it!

Ah yes but did we beat them on merit by superior strategy and tactics or was it just mother fortune dishing us up a large slice of luck for once. Good for morale of course but next time perhaps Yoshi's off-post clearance attempt goes in, Valery's scuffed shot goes over the bar and Prowse's free kick hits the wall.

Quite frankly darling, I don't give a damn!

After Ralph's near faux pas at last week's presser, the rumour of us playing a Championship team during our long break has gone cold. Wonder what happened? Norwich or Leeds would be a good test for them and us.

It's best not to underestimate anybody during the run in, not so long ago Cardiff looked dead certs for the drop but they've confounded a lot of people of late. We must do it ourselves and not find our salvation in other's failing.

Ralph's average points take so far if maintained would give us 42. It is still a big 'ask' with all our opponents fighting for something. Even if we win two at home and draw one other, we still need three draws for our four away games... we'd better pay the fat lady a lot of money to stay in the dressing room for now.

Funny how things are turning out as many on here insisted that this year with the dominance of the big 6 clubs could ease from relegation with only 32 or 34 points. Now we are all on 30 with 8 matches to play and still feeling uncomfortable it is evident that a much higher target will be needed to stay up. Hassenhuttl says 40 which is the normally quoted figure and he could be right. For us that's three wins and a draw or two wins and four draws. Surely we can do that?

You're probably right but don't rule out Bertrand, Gunn & Redmond getting a call

Not a very thoughtful suugestion The word 'lazy' is not one that would be tolerated under the new coaching regime. Mario is still here so RH certainly won't be seeing him as lazy.

We've become a nasty niggly little side whose game plan is to intimidate and unsettle the opposition by getting in their faces from the start. Great isn't it! Spurs seemed to have only the long ball over the top as their main plan and it didn't work. Our three CBs must have sorely strained neck muscles to night but by and large didi a job on Deli Alli and Harry Kane. I don't agree with Ward Drowse as MotM but there you go, Hoj as usual led from the front throughout and avoided going in the book - definite improvement!

Cedric for me and here's why? Valery will get snapped up by a big club in the summer if he continues his development at his current pace. Ergo: we end up with nobody!

Is anybody else getting pumped up about this game? Long time since it has been an exciting prospect walking up to SMS. There is something here for us at 2-2

What plot? Why on earth would the guy give up a Chairman role to be a humble coach? I doubt he would earn 1/10th of his salary here as a coach in hockey in Canada.

Is it a co-incidence that the upturn in our performances last week followed the reinstatement of Bertrand & Yoshida to the first XI? Of course not. Arguably they are both better than they have been for the last couple of years and much of that must be down to their belief in what Hasenhuttl is doing.

It means nothing we are a completely different side now playing in a completely different way. With a week's rest for us but not for them our high intensity pressing game could overwhelm them especially if they get toasted by Dortmund. 2-2 is my call.

Might not be the wisest thing you've ever thought of doing, these refs are pretty fit and athletic and can probably give as good as they would expect to get.

Three things cost us the game; We don't have a decent striker like Lukaku Players exhausted after 65 minutes, too soon after Wednesday night Bertrand told to be less aggressive in second half because of his caution for over enthusiastic play. Apart from that a thoroughly decent performance that deserved at least a point and maybe 3
