No2

Jesus they are really pimping him to us. I had this down as a zero possibility or a maybe a little less. Those comments from his agent sound as if he has no-where else to go, a player of his quality with something (a shit lot) to prove on loan is a no brainer. Assuming we lose 15m/20m in potential add-ons if he leaves then he's basically free.

I haven't got Gary Mac as a 10, certainly it wasn't meant to look like that. He's the more advanced of a 2 man midfield with Xabi. In his pomp at Leeds he was very attacking minded, as good as he was for us he was outstanding for Leeds. The Diamond shape is designed as to not restrict Gini to the left wing rather than to have Gary Mac pushed further forward. It's a midfield of 4 intelligent players, they know what to do.

I'm at a wedding today so won't get to this. Can someone stick me down for Sander Westerveld please? Everyone has picked their keeper bar me.

So how is the winner decided?

I don't think Ireland are particularly good at lobbying they and Israel in particular just carry massive sway with the Americans because of the sheer number of voters in the US. Probably for the first time in history Ireland is more powerful than the UK due it's relationship with the US and the EU. Stick that on a bus.

The Irish women's national team where given tracksuits in the airport and told to get changed in the jax. That was within the last couple of years. I would guess 99.9% of the population couldn't name a player off the Irish team, past or present. Now they shouldn't have too get changed in the jax but equal pay is a million years away and so it should be. Separate associations with separate income streams is the way forward, in 50 years maybe the men will be the ones looking for equal pay.

BT had a repeat of the big match from 1975 on last night. Stoke were 3rd playing away to Arsenal who were near the relegation zone. A decent farmer wouldn't have allowed cows on to a field as muddy as Highbury. The mad thing was Stoke played the previous day at West Ham and were due at Anfield on the 2 days later. 3 away games in 4 days while going for the league, they also had 4 players out injured with broken legs.

It was my mams birthday but i left early. Over to you.
