In the current market £13m will get you a 15 year old Championship prospect, a set of steak knives in a velvet presentation box, and a packet of Trebor Mints.
No way we can directly replace BDB for that money with a player who could slot right into a PL defence like he did.
I get an absurd amount of satisfaction from my huge Albion raincoat (with supplementary snood). Weather ? Do your WORST. You can't touch this.
In hindsight though, I should've just stayed in the Pav Tav wth my newspaper, getting widdled. Took a cuffing HOUR on the 25 from the Steine and I...
I've never suggested that he was Danco Burnesi. But the fact remains, by binning him off we lost an important versatile player, disrupted a fairly settled defence, and cut down on our options. That wasn't the be-all and end-all of us getting absolutely dry-humped by one of the worst and most...
And before the "Burn would have made no difference yesterday" brigade start pounding my arse, its likely he wouldn't. As a collective, we were piss poor.
But we've largely settled into a comfortable shape of 3 at the back. Because BDB was flogged off to the hand-choppers though, we lost that...
The risk/reward is too great coming out that far, IMO. It obliges other players to drop back to stand on the line, playing everyone onside, and often leads to general SHODDINESS.
I'll be whistling it up on IPTV (being as MOTD is a write-off).
Really tough one to call. Khans glass jaw vs Brooks smashed eye sockets. Brook has had to tofu his weight right down so I'm slightly leaning towards Khan, but its the toss of a coin really.
I don't care whether he called for it or not. Coming THAT far off your line into a group of players on the 18 yard line to attempt a punch is totally unnecessary IMO. Let your defenders deal with it. I didn't like Duffy making a public show of it one bit, but I could certainly see where he was...
Yeah, he did.
I never like seeing a keeper charging to his 18 yard line into a group of players to try and make a punch, its always a recipe for disaster. I dunno what Sanchez was thinking, but he needs to get a grip of these brainfarts that are edging into his game.
It really wasn't.
There was enough doubt to acknowledge that Webster was back covering and would most likely get a block in at the very least - the ball had travelled quite a distance from the Man U player. It was a LONG WAY from being a "clear and obvious error" to award a yellow - hence, VAR...
Not a bad shout. Dragons Den ?
One of our neighbours 6x6 fence panels has gone down. Its semi-propped up in a BUSH in their garden, and the wind keeps picking it up and slamming it against the posts. Its doing my swede in.
Not to be confused with prima nocta (still active in Cornwall) - giving the lawful right of a monarch or feudal lord to have sex with a staff member of Halfords on the night of her wedding.

The verdict on the Surrey Reds forum - EVERYBODY does it, so the FA are just targeting Utd because its an agenda.
