Nice selection Thommo. Hopefully Rafa will give the kids run out.

Hehehe...I should be annoyed by two dropped points at home but instead the thought of the Blades being shat on from a great height by the Aresenal reserves keeps making me feel better.


And Hartlepool at home keeps the mood good. Could have been a lot worse. See above for example.

Well we're on a hiding to nothing....we got turfed out by Arsenal's "kids" in the 4th round at Bramall Lane last season - Eduardo in full pomp and looking real class (I hope his recovery is coming on well!)....and no doubt again we too will field a weakened team. I'd have preferred a minnow from 1 of the lower divisions at this stage though....Hartlepool would have been nice...or Crewe...or Leeds....:))


And Leeds did not drop 2 points at home today...they salvaged one by all accountsB)

Don't know what "accounts" you're reading sunshine - but the ones I read said it's a mystery how we didn't win. Dominated from start to finish. Bristol have two chances and score twice whereas we do everything but. I like to think of Leeds as the Arsenal of League One! All skills and subtle chances but lacking the killer instinct. Maybe you can let me know when they come to the Lane...

Ahem...from Saturday's online Yorkshire Post:-


"LEEDS UNITED are still searching for their first home league win of the season after needing a Jermaine Beckford goal to salvage a point."


:))

Could City be the next Chelsea if this dealall goes through??? There is even rumour that they have entered the race for Berbatov. I'd be p!ssed off if I supported spurs, and he'd rather play for City! United *spits* you can kind of understand (if you accept that these are the days of the mercenary player), but City?!?!? Spurs should be up there fighting City for players, not letting their star man go that way!


Mat just be a load of rubbish though.

We need to find our form. Perhaps in the absence of Gerrard, the Keane and Torres partnership will blossom. We shall see. In theory we should take the 3 points, but something tells me that we'll be lucky to get one.


To be honest, I was pleased we got the bloody point.


More importantly, is there any news on Torres???


Agreed totally with Lee Dixon on MOTD2, why pay ?20m for a striker who plays "in the hole", then put him on the left wing?!?!?!?

Hope it's not serious, hate to say it, but without Gerrard and Torres, we really don't look like anything particularly special (solid and hard to beat, but not threatening).


As for the ticket, you are a tease young lady! I would bloody love to join you, but I shall be getting in a van and going up somewhere around Norwich at about 9am, playing a wedding, and probably getting home about 4am!!! Not looking forward to it, and would much rather be getting drunk on a train to the pool!!!


On the bright side, I get paid :)-D

Where are you playing in Norwich? I used to work up there.


I'm reasonably confident that G&T will both be fine for United, hence Rafa's timing with Gerrard's injury. Torres has had hamstring problems before - do you remember when he was injured last season? To be honest (in my non medical opinion) he didn't look too bad on Sunday and may have just been taken off as a precaution.

Cannot believe that Man City pipped Chelsea to the post for Robinho! It's now a case of who has the biggest cheque book.


Am also slightly miffed that Spurs have agreed to drop their complaint about Fergie as they're ?30m better off, yet we end up paying ?2m to a charity. No doubt I'll start another pointless argument, but I couldn't give a monkeys. Such a hypocrite!!

You've got to laugh when Juande Ramos says he's going to teach Spurs' new signing Roman Pavlyuchenko how to speak English when Ramos hasn't even mastered the language himself yet, still letting Gus Poyet do all the post match interviews.

I think Pavlyuchenko could be a very good signing for us but I still think we're short of strikers up front despite getting Fraiser-Campbell in on loan for a year as part of the Berbatov deal with Man Utd.

We'll have to spend big again in the January sales as Darren Bent has been a waste of money and Ramos obviously doesn't rate him and now that Pavlyuchenko has arrived he'll find his appearances limited.

Also, Giovanni Dos Santos, although not really and out and out striker and still only 19, looks particularly lightweight so we'll struggle to score goals this year without Berbatov, Keane and Defoe who scored more than 60 goals between them last season.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
