I always thought the Glazers were up there as the worst example of greedy owners. Well, by the look of Sir Jim Rat Cliffe seems to be doing even better. He got rid of staff who have been the for years and now the fans are getting it in the neck too. Out of the frying pan into…

Awful game to watch. better than Stoke. Positives, better watch than Stoke (marginal),an away point is always good and our points on the board in November is better than Man Citeh (who needs Pep when you got PW)

Prozac for now and morphine in March

going quietly about our business to achieve mid table anonymity would be something to SHOUT ABOUT

Can we get a Japanese player or 2 in January to go with the Toyota stand?

Is that the dry river bed which goes through the whole length of the city to the city of science? We were there earlier this year during Fallas. Cycling and walking up and down the dry river bed, very pleasant. and giving our ears a rest from the festival, it was loud. Videos I have seen are like scenes from disaster movies, our thoughts are with the people of this wonderful part of the world

Even Ronaldo who does not do modesty very well turned up when Messi was collecting his ballon door. The private jet was on the tarmac and cancelled last minute. Whoever tipped Real Madrid missed a trick. They should have waited till after take off and then radio the pilot. It would have made an interesting U shaped flight path on FFlighradar.Arrogant w****s.

Spot on as always. On the front 3 in January, we don't need just numbers, we need quality too. Players who can go straight in the starting line up and create and/or score, not busy players that run, press, flick. We got these already, we need tricky, skilful players who can receive and keep the ball and give defenders something to worry about. Easier said than done, I know.

On the ipad it is very slow. I don’t mind the having to wait for the adverts to load as it pays to keep the lights on but it is a bit frustrating when links do not respond,

No English manager has ever won the PL. Fact, as Rafa would say. The last English manager to win the old first division was Howard Wilkinson with dirty Leeds in 92. That might be the answer to the lack of top English managers. Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese, German, Chilean, a Scot have all won it, even a Frenchman has done it (3 times) 😀

We have standards, they are low but come on coaching England? Get out of here. Arsene turned it down btw. Rumour has it, he wanted to coach a top nation and was waiting for a call for the Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland job

Wowser a German in charge of the England team, who would have thought? Was it nein or ten German bombers?

Not a joke as such but quite amusing me think On Saturday in the away end there was this sweet little girl (10ish I think, might have been boy, not sure) who wrote various messages on her school books and held it in the air towards the south stand to read. Here is a sample of her home work when it started to unravel for QPR, after conceding 2 goals in a minute: “QPR till I die” So far so good ”You ‘ll be the ones crying in a minute” showing some signs of frustration and then the clincher, “F##k off Derby” Full marks for grammar and spelling, teachers will be proud.

Just read his obituary and it told the bizarre story of the reason why Barcelona sold him. He was on the toilet away at Alicante and in the next cubicle was the Barca president who had run out of bog roll. He asked Johan to pass him a roll, Johan refused and that was it, he was sold to NY Cosmos.
