My missus likes a good sleep in so early mornings is the secret for me when on hols. Keeps me out of strife and particularly when it's warm is best time of day to ride. Win win.

Looks good. Unusual brand mix of fulcrum and campy.. Why no shamals?

So does that mean it is the BFA Cup too? Please say no...

A reasonable response, but not convinced. If it is, then it really is quite sad.

Can someone explain why the Yanks insist on referring to our league as the BPL? Should we all start calling theirs the USMSL? It's THE Premier League mofo's....

So I'm probably going to get slayed for saying this but i'm thinking we should take a risk this game and start with Reed ahead of Wanyama - give Reed one simple instruction ..... wear Hazard in your pocket. Just think Vic is a bit of a mismatch for this game. Appreciate we will lose much needed height and strength for defensive set pieces, but think nullifying Hazard is key.

Some bore score draws and a few more suspensions please

And is slowly self imploding with silly red cards and extended suspensions. Just need De Gea to do something silly ...which sadly he won't. If Man Utd get in top 4 he should get keys to the city.

Wondering whether they will get Pelle to batter them first half then rest him early in the second for an all out pace assault

Dare I say Matic probably best defensive midfielder in the league - massive loss for Chelski.

Against Besiktas 68 min: Dejan Lovren’s first contribution is to pick up a booking for a late one on Sahan.

From an thread earlier this season... based on a quote from an anon source from inside the club who said he "flipped like a burger" when he heard Liverpool were interested... He flips to the left, he flips to the right Adam Lallana Makes McDonalds look sh*te

One eye on the cup

Is he minime on Saints web?

This is really what Les et el do in the Black Box... http://http://youtu.be/ZXg2jiOsT-8

I do, they've parked the bus

Where does the megastore owner fit in the sliding scale of ITK? Somewhere on the spectrum between the security guard and the cabbie who knows a security guard. I'm picking mini me every day of the week, his emphatic response would suggest he's most likely the company owner, which would be rather funny.

Personally I think if you replace "massive" with "small" then the quote would be spot on. Sports science is primarily about gaining an edge over others through any number marginal gains, some tangible and others not so. It wouldn't surprise me to learn Sir Les and Cortese learnt some things from Dave Brailsford, who leaves absolutely no stone unturned at Team Sky and GB.

Just stressed the point on sky sport total attendance at Ewood only a little over 5k. Disgraceful considering we took that many to the Emirates for a league cup.

Got myself on a nice little 6 fold accumulator Sought some value with Saints Birmingham Citeh Chelski Spuds and.... the bin dippers to draw paying a little over 80/1

Hook, line and sinker...

Ben Stanfield ‏@BenStanners 5 hrs5 hours ago Mayuka scores! Mayuka then gets stretchered off! Putting two and two together I'd say it'll be shock related.... #saintsfc #acon2015 :lol:

Not a bad read, thanks. However the pedantic in me.... Average minutes per match will be something like ~95min not 90 .... not sure whether that skews figures wildly but something to consider if you're into stats. Not sure I agree with closing point, moving to the senior England squad with 27+ international caps and captaining the under 19s I doubt he's going to gain "much deserved experience on the international stage" that he doesn't already have.

Just to avoid disapointment it's worth mentioning the Mega Store isn't really Mega, in an American Super Sized way you might expect.
