So spart in your own heart of hearts, do you think this currant squad, without any additions will get us into the top 2 spots? In my opinion, more hope than a Bob Hope.
Just like Vidal above, I think we still need an experienced centre half. I've said this before and I'll say it again, Keogh and Buxton do too many mistakes.
Regarding Eustace, he's getting too old, and too slow, that's why he got too many bookings last season, he got found out And how long was Coutts out for? Surely he needs time to adjust, why gamble?

Leicester kept the nucleus of a team which only just made the play offs the previous season and ran away with the division. We have kept the nucleus of what was probably the second best team in the division so we should be optimistic.

He probably wants TOO much vidal and hence he's still on the available list.

Totally agree with your previous post by the way , this is no flash in the pan and the regrading of the academy is just further proof of the continuing development of DCFC.

Bundle of laughs on here.

Some of us are forgetting how utterly fantastic we were the second half of last season. More of the same and we are fine, but we could do with a bit of insurance. We cannot assume that Martin and the two centre-halves will be injury-free. I get what Wassa says but McClaren has clearly got faith in the two incumbents. I don't think he will replace either until or unless we get promoted. We certainly missed Keogh when he was out last season. We need squad options who won't weaken the team if they need to be called upon.

Vidal you always take the words out of my mouth, but you say it in a more logical way. Regarding us playing some cracking football, of which we did, there were times when we took our foot off the pedal and certain individuals were doing mistakes, I should know cause I went to virtually every game home and away last season, missed the odd couple through work. It was hilarious when he brought Conor Sammon on, and he did that a fair few times last season, apart from his crucial winner against Watford. He made me laugh, at Christmas time at Barnsley, where I'm not joking you, he tackled himself. Everyone in our end were just shaking our heads in utter disbelief.

On more imprtant matters.

As it is ridiculously hot here, still 26 degrees I thought I would treat myself to a cold beer before dinner. I had a bottle of Leffe in the fridge. I don't know if you know but Leffe has a champagne type cork. Well I undo the wires and try and pull the cork our but it wont shift. I then try a cork screw but the cork screw breaks. Then I sawed the edges off and applied a spanner. Still wont shift and I also cut my finger on the saw. I needed the spanner as well to remove the cork screw. I end up digging the cork out of the neck of the bottle with a pair scissors. 20 minutes later I pour myself a drink. It wasn't that good.

That's my Q to get my bottle of wine out of the fridge, screw top!........

I've got a glass of red but every time I take a sip another tiny fly has landed in it and is floating on the surface. Very off-putting.

The Leffe being 6.6% and in 750ml bottle seemed OK by the time I finished it. Might try a copper dragon golden pippin next.

Saturday night screw top Merlot. Six quids worth of Sainsburys plonk, just the job.

It is bizarre that mankind has put a man on the moon yet has still to come up with a satisfactory answer to the question: "Which is better, beer or wine?"

And it's just started pi55ing down in Lytham

I got a screw-top Merlot too, RID! Tanner's own label though, not Sainsbury's.

Fetch the radio in, trip over extension lead, leave the mucky bbq stuff in the rain, forget to strim the lawn edges. There's always tomorrow.

Took so long opening the sodding bottle and then enjoying drinking it forgot I had eggs on to boil. Feet is better than wine, no argument unless you are some sort of froggy turdburglar. This is a mome racist nome homophobic comment.

Feet?? beer. Must turn the light on.

Just saw a replay of our women swimmists winning.
They didn't swim very far, only about one length.
I can swim that far.

mome? none

How many percent proof Spart? Put some lemonade in it.

I am on the white zinfadel now which is pink!

Bliddy hull, Dpart! It mist bv s deceny brew@

White zinfandel??????

Blossom Hill by any chance?

I've got some Majestic Zinfandel, so red it's almost black. Was told to lay it down for a while.
A week?

Drink it all, then lay down for a week. A proper Zinfandel is a fine drink.
