Pater Reed was a real father figure to the players.

Very good.

Whenever you feel like shit and everything is against you. Just remember it could be worse...you could be a rag.

Sorry if i missed it but was there any reference to the rags singing murderers yesterday?

Don't fret. He's proved his credentials. He watched us under Alain Ball, Pater Reed and Swain Hogan, Eric's son. ;)

Ah, wit. Very good.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Hate to mention it but......they are 7 points off top spot, playing shit, not leaking goals and only halfway through the season.............

They will still finish in the champions league spots, hanging around in 5th like a fucking bad smell. I really hope that Madrid come in for the doughnut thief before the window closes that would be a nice sharp nail in the coffin!

With a paper thin squad that doesn't score enough as it is. Add to that the toll of at least 4 more midweek Europa league games, possible injuries and tired legs from the oldies and you could read that as 12 points behind plus a few more come the end.

Anyone noticed that Martial just runs into players with the balls and just sometimes gets a lucky bounce?

Yup.
He seems to try and bulldoze his way through defences with his head down. Quite often he'll get a rebound or the ball will fall favourably into his path and he just keeps bundling forward. You can see an example of this with the goal he scored against Liverpool earlier on in the season, which is arguably his most notable individual contribution since arriving.
In his defence he obviously has pace as well as quick feet but he seems to lack a bit of intelligence. I've not really seen anything special about him yet, if he played elsewhere he wouldn't even be on people's radars.
