Aspinall AGAIN on point with his commentary last night.
"He's, sent him outside. He's had to pay to get back in Johnny!"
That is one of his best. I'm laughing my head off! Alas, I didn't hear that live as I was sat in the WSU.

The best player in the championship.... FACT! and we get to watch him every week, simply sublime skills from the Little Magician.
So, how would you rate Knockaert v Vicente?
It's a discussion I was having with [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] last night (whilst enjoying the space in the Seven Stars bar).
I will be shocked if we managed to keep hold of him past next summer, an absolute genius with the ball at his feet.
Will he make it past January? Premier league managers, and Pardew, watching us most home games this season, he's only going to get more noticed, and valuable.

Maybe it's a fine line! At one point yesterday in the second half, the ball was in the air heading towards our goal with Bruno and an attacker after it. Bruno just deftly touched it first over the attacker's head and calmly came out in the other direction. Masterful.
Knockaert wins. For me the same skill level but more importantly that flair has actually yielded results too. Bizarrely I think we had quite a low win ratio with Vicente. Knocky offers not just wow moments but solid tackling, tracking back and really puts a shift in to help the team out.
We are very fortunate to get to see such quality on a regular basis. In fairness to Vicente we saw him at the end of his careeer and not his peak. The same cannot be said of Knockaert, we are witnessing a player in his prime. It is quite frankly exhilarating.
We were discussing how Knockeart was a symbol of how much the game has changed. Imagine him showboating like that against some of the left backs of the eighties and nineties, players like Julian Dicks, Pat Van Den Hauwe or Stuart Pearce. He would have been kicked four foot in air in the first half!
Stockdale needs to learn the tactic of running to the ball when it's near the flag, so he can then walk back with it. No good having over keen ball boys rushing it back.Pretty sure he was saying something along the lines of no need to rush when we're ahead.
