Horrors - forgot those bloody internationals.

Ignoring the sniping ... isn’t it nice to have a manager who is both personable and self-effacing? Great game today, and good progress being made. Looking forward to the Bridge next weekend.

The greatest jazz drummer ever, up there with Gene Krupa. Quite took the edge off both Manchesters losing and a great performance in Southampton. God bless you and keep you, Sir Ginger, the angels will be rocking tonight.

Hysterical Droy, particularly liked: "Through nights of mad youth, I have loved every sluice in your harbour And in your wild sands from boyhood to man, strangers have found themselves fathers" Shame he never wrote anything about the olfactory delights of Pyewipe, or the Elysium that is Cleethorpes on a bank holiday Monday.

Both?

Nah. Chelsea Reject

At risk of unintended offence, is that hubris or self-deprecation? Your tongue is surely well-lodged in your cheek? Personally, I’m often amazed at my ability to misjudge the situation, as I would think are most of us.

Neither does it help when perhaps your most influential player - Deeney - is injured. An argument for not relying on an individual.

Good to hear your merry voice again, Mark. You’ve been missed!

Wouldn’t mind one myself, Leo - all the recent streams seem to be Trojan horses for porn sites!

What's he like with a brolly though?

Bearing in mind that I am unable to watch matches live (thanks to Sky no longer showing much and BT having taken over responsibility, and most streams being a poor excuse for dating/porno/betting websites) and have to listen to the radio - a return to the days of my youth - I’ll await MOTD before confirming Mr Moly’s opinion but ..... from what I hear of today’s match .... I am on tenterhooks.

Same injury or a new one?

Any reason? An old and rather pretentious school friend had a dog called Shan and a cat called Shah, while my own feline is Ozzie (he enjoys chickens’ heads). Enough: back to the noble game. Just returned from three weeks in BC, Canada (nice wine, great food) and wondering what is the strength of the rumours that the transfer ban might be lifted in January, but too jetlagged to Google it? Neymar, anyone?
