Everton duffed 4-1 at Bournemouth in the Carabou. They had a terrific young fullback in the sde, though.

Are you a shareholder, Sbg? If so attend at the agm if you can and ask the question.

No, thank you.

Thanks for the word picture, 26th. I regret sincerely that my knowledge of Tranent is limited to what I saw when passing through and that so long ago, there was nether Asda nor Aldi there nor anywhere else in Scotland come to that. Why the carnation? Could you not just have worn your sword and carried your Bible? Just in case there were other dudes likewise equipped in Ternent, you could have packed your parachute on your back. Perfect ID. Easily recognised and unlikely to be copied.

Watching some FA cup games I had to turn off sound because of the monotonous cacophony. If you must have drums at games import drummers from South America. At least they’ve got rhythm. A bit of samba does no harm. The cup games were poor. What else can you expect from the first round.By contrast, the Rugby League World Cup was rattling good entertainment. Samoa v Tonga was the best bit of sport I’ve seen since I can’t remember when.

He was greatly admired on R5 in his early days but they have form (bad) for that. They were previously enamoured of a couple of Cardiff City managers whose name I forget and a long-gone Watford bloke.

Villa win 3-1. Newcastle United dismantle So’ton 4-1 and go up to fourth unless ‘Spurs recover from 0-1 to Liverpool. Edit: Make that third place. Heady heights for the Mags.

You think so? Dyche. Take that, you soccer-science-statto.

Arsenal beating Chelsea at the Bridge. That’s what they have to do to win a league.

Straight out of Davy Wilson’s textbook on Constructive Wing Play.

He’s a whole bloody Regiment.

Saw Royal Albert once in a Scottish Cup Tie against Elgin City. Walking to the ground I was impressed by the huge crowd, then 90% of them turned off to the rugby! Willie Macfarlane was your manager at the time. Got a creditable draw before the inevitable defeat in the replay.

Ternent, eh? There will be a divided loyalty on this Board.

So, who needs Garrincha?

By God, yes but I’d rather a defender breenged a forward up in the air than indulged in girly shirt tugging.

Look at the crowd at Tynecastle. I wasn’t at that game but I was at two or three in the early sixties when the attendances were approaching forty thousand.

That’s not competing. That’s playing rugby. Send them off.

Works for me. See above.

As accessible as that?

What’s a doctor and where can you find one?

No, not one.

Not I.

That is absolutely correct. Same applies to the Board.

Untold millions and no potential widow or orphans. Am I happy with the Board? Very good question. Current events don’t make me very happy and I don’t expect the Board members are either. Trouble is, they don’t have access to untold millions. I can criticise the Board for a missed opportunity after 55 but Gerrard let them down. He should have been able to manage the team past Malmö then he might have got money to spend. I can criticise them too for appointing GVB. I didn’t think he was the right man based on absolutely nothing other than the fact that he was plying his trade in a football nowhere. I suppose he could just as easily turned out to be a genius. There is no new benign + wealthy owner coming soon. I award the current Board seven marks out of ten. The manager needs to go. Some players need to get tell’t.

It’s a lot better than many previous Boards. I don’t see many volunteers coming forward to replace them. Again who would you like to see on the Board? Genuine question.
