Great stuff (the rest as well) 👏

They really are crap.

That guy playing 44 for Villa is an absolute liability!

Who would you suggest plays RB (when all our RBs are injured)?

Do you need the money? If not, volunteering is a great option. I’m extremely fortunate that I have a decent company pension, and was able to choose when I retired. I’ve been volunteering for a small charity in the humanitarian sector for the past 6 years - it’s been incredibly rewarding, and...

Yes, but I thought there was some over-riding principle that clubs had to act in absolute good faith? I guess when you've got the likes of Chelsea and City to deal with, expecting them to do ANYTHING in good faith is a non-starter.

Yes - a draw against Villa means we retain our two point advantage. And a draw against Palace will be an excellent result given their current form. I'd be VERY happy with two points from those two fixtures.

I took a bit of time looking for it, then I remembered Dick Knight's Mumm had emailed it to me many years ago :-)

I hesitate to post this, but.....

Could do with a few Villa injuries this afternoon, and Palace thinking about FA Cup glory for the next few weeks!

Also, a classy penalty.

Watched the first couple - but it gets a bit repetitive. Richard Ayoade is, however, (imho) hilarious. I laugh at just about everything he says.

If we made Europe would we really want to go into next season with a number 1 keeper who had never played a top level game in his life?

The two teams I've most admired this season (ie, been sh1tting myself every time they got the ball) were Bournemouth and Forest. They both attack with such pace. So - if we get through tomorrow - I think I'd prefer Citeh in the semis.

Came across this article in the New York Times today (hopefully not behind a paywall) - it's not particularly reassuring.... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/well/lower-back-pain-treatments-nsaids.html
