There’s a certain justice there - and I believe that the some of the cash bonus that comes with it is to be donated to Bury!

Owls 1 Stoke 0, currently 3rd!

No, I’m off to Europe for a few days Alison, so i’ll miss this one, and won’t even see it on telly. If Saints get a bit of confidence and form after the point at the weekend, it could be a good game.
We need to stay 3 at the back to counter Vardy, IMO.

Enjoy your time. Really looking forward to this one.

The Mehta Columbia set is still vexing me with release on Friday ...

Yes I think that Monk could do with adding Beattie to his coaching team and of course our big test is at the weekend where we could temporarily go top but that sort of pressure gets to our lot!

All going very nicely for you , Cloughie. Monk may be a very astute choice.

I think so - quietly gets on with the job, knows what he wants individual players to do and gets the best out of erstwhile mediocre players.

Hoddle was very good at doing that in his brief spell at the Dell.

I’m in Germany. It isn’t far enough away ...

I've seen maybe one or two like this.... Brazil 1 Germany 7...... Spurs 2 Bayern 7 just the other week.......

You may thank God you're a neutral, but after a while emotions are very mixed...!

Recalling the Stoke 6 Liverpool 1 in 2015.... I think I just tried to blank it out...in denial etc..... "oh well, Gerrard era over, new manager soon"...etc....
You can come back from it, but it hurts... and it hurts bad.....

Remember Liverpool 9 Crystal Palace 0 in 1989-90?
And what happened in the FA Cup Semi-final later that season?

Football, bloody hell, etc.....

At least Jayne you can be fairly confident that if you played Stoke in the 2019-20 season the result would be Liverpool >6 Stoke <1, even the Owls beat them last week!

Having suffered the 6-0 defeat at Man City last season and then coming back to win the Europa League and somehow get top four, I can add a voice to the 'football can change quickly' chorus.

But it's a bit disconcerting that Saints next two games are both away to Man City
