Nice clean sheet for you dearest!

[cloughie]

Couldn't agree more Cloughers ... the Toon have Gayle who has been, to me at least, a revelation .... delighted for the Foxes but impressed by Pep's very UnJose post match interview .......

Maybe Anton, the Hangers need more than a poacher!

[Alison]

Nice midweek cup replay to look forward to, Cloughers.
