Frank Large's Black Book

Nice try. A proper footballing name mind you. None of your fancy Dan foreign stuff.

Not much competition for the 19 though

See what you did there

Would agree but sadly that would mean no-one would sign for us if they (or their agents) know their way onwards will be blocked. Not happy with it but it's true. Stuff the big6

Thanks Weller. I will savour and use it from here onwards.

I've only just come to terms with LOL. So WTF is HFT

Actually, I'm on my second large glass of red, and if you take a run up at it, your post works perfectly.

Please tell me you're not thinking of driving anywhere mate?

Clearly nerves have been touched. I have a suggestion. Is it possible to have a pre - match team thread? No comments, no slagging off - Let's just see what team people would honestly select. Injuries notwithstanding - (SFE would obviously be barred from entering) Edit - I mean extra to the existing pre match thread

Have you seen how many times Fofana has been caught out of position or they have a spare man wide and we're caught out. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan but to come in to the EPL at 19 is a big ask

Absofvckinglutely

How can we have expectations with an injury list that contains just about the whole of the first pick defence/DM. All we are entitled to is HOPE. We over achieved at the beginning but now are hanging on by our fingertips. I don't believe BR entirely trusts the defence available so picks a defensive team to cover it - hence few bodies to break down a packed defence. Really really bored by the vocal minority that believe that by shouting loudly and frequently that X, Y or Z is crap. You are all beginning to sound like Trump.

If it is the same injury (and it is so far if), it does make Evans' contract talks a tad more interesting.

I voted Southampton BUT........... My preference is for anyone - provided on the last day they push Spurs into second place on goal difference. Delicious 😋

I do, I do.

For the sake of clarity....................................Does this rule about pasting articles apply to all sites or just sites behind paywalls? I assume it's the latter- but just to be on the safe side I'd thought I'd ask. Sorry if it's been covered before

Man city 4th round FA cup replay 1968. No way was the official attendance of 42,000 correct - rumours were up to 48,000. It was so packed we had to take turns to breathe in. Won 4-3, Frank Large may have scored twice.

Amazing how they keep throwing up (ahem) 16 year olds that looks like they could have gone to school with Huth.

What a nice guy, and let the spirit that the team have never leave us.

Hi Phillippa

Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation really

Somebody call?

Fight fight fight
