Jack has been impressive since he came into the team at the EFL Cup Final. He has taken his chance and now needs to" bulk up" a little to improve his strength. I am sure Rahdi can give him some tips.

Or has got a better job.

Puel tactics were spot on today as he knew our current form does not lead to many goals. Fraser was excellent and so was the whole of our defence with another clean sheet to take us back into top half of the table.

If we finish 8th, we have had a good season taking in the loss of players, injuries, Europe and Cup Final. Therefore Puel deserves to stay unless he does not wish to.

Top class players will not come to us as we are not in Europe next season. Our present crop lack the combined quality to be in top 6 at present.

We looked small yesterday and whilst we had plenty of defenders in the box for each of he Chelsea's goals, we seemed mesmerised and unable to clear the ball. First half we played well but poor defending cost us. How we miss VVD and a comparable centre back for Fonte.

Perhaps he was an Undertaker in a past life.

He and John Sydenham were awesome on each wing in their heyday.

Comes every year to the Players Awards evening and presents his award.

Rednapp says he is going to live in Birmingham until the end of season and rumour has it that his Sandbanks home is up for sale.

Also Louis Saha for a total of £6m with Malbranque I seem to recall but that was after we signed McCann and Rupes refusal was one of the reasons that Strachan left. I believe Rupes said that we can buy a whole team for that price at the time. McCann looked useful in his first game for us but was cr*p every game after.

Cotterell has got the job.

How Aguaro, one of the smallest on the pitch, outjumped Foster and our two tallest defenders for the third goal, is beyond me.

He looked a bit heavy on Saturday and appeared a little slow on occasions,

I doubt it as the landlord will get a reduced rent if it should be land only and that assumes he would agree. I wonder if it is a full repairing lease too.

As a aside, their logo never appears on the board behind interviews in the tunnel after the match. All the others do, yet it appears behind the managers press interviews at Staplewood. Strange,

Would VVD have the gall to move after all the money our club had spent on him getting him fit? Physio, medical and salary. I think not.

Jay Rod and Shane Long simply lack the quality to put the ball in the net. Puel can never alter that as it is born in them despite all the practice and experience these two have had over many years. Gabbiadini was able to immediately he came to us as he took advantage of the assists and had this quality.

The experience at the Euro's has done him a power of good.

Seems to be a free for all with the seats on match days as the numbers have dropped off the back. Priority for improvements at Fatpipes.

Interesting Video on the OS regarding Jeremy Pied's injury,op and rehab.

We used to park at the old Ordnance Survey Headquarters and coaches were laid on to take us to St Mary's and pick us up just past the Le Tissier arms to take us back. These were free and the Club gave us a pass to show.

The Sky TV etc. gravy train will not last for ever and Kat became owner by default, You cannot blame her if she wishes to consider selling. We do not know if she is really interested in Football apart from the sentimental aspect, but she has done us proud.

We played much better 2nd half but overall Spurs just edged it. FF made some good saves today but again beaten by a shot from outside the penalty area for the first.

Mr Woo was good.
