brilliant writer, one of the very best in my lifetime. i know someone who knows him, and he definitely has a soft spot for the pool.

Michael Sheen - single biggest contributor to the Frank Knight fund, I understand.

Congrats Timbertops, top tipping. Not much consolation Mac but at least you NAP-ped the big one! Brilliant work as ever, Ted. great fun and thanks. 👍

he's the kind of footballer who reminds me why i fell in love with this game in the first place. in that respect, the comparisons to TG and Wes are fair. he is clever, brave, has magic balance and sweet feet. he changes games and wins matches. that'll do for me. as curryman says, let's just...

First and foremost, a massive thank you to Ted for organising, as ever - it's a big effort which we all appreciate, and i've thoroughly enjoyed it over the years.👏 thanks too to everyone taking part - it's always interesting to read everybody else's picks in what can be a devilish week for us...

soz, i wasn't implying you were giving him stick - i was just alluding to some of the grief he gets on here, which is largely non-constructive and unhelpful. fwiw, i agree with your analysis, and i just wish that this board could debate the enigma that is CJ in a more rounded way. NC's...

i can see CJ's attributes and have/will defend him against the abuse he gets on here by some, but i think his confidence is low atm. i wasn't there yesterday but i was on tuesday night and, tbf, he didn't look quite right. he was on the left and knew he had the beating of the full-back...

this could be life-changing for 36 young people who have had a tough start in life. good work simon.

i recall being slightly gobsmacked that the outstanding talent that was gary shaw was turning out for us - in my then 14/15 year old head he had only existed on match of the day and in my panini albums. i think he arrived because sam ellis was pals with graham taylor who had just taken over at...

that's a really smart finish from the magician - he made it look so easy when it was anything but.

he looked absolutely knackered on the final whistle and he dropped to his knees - a combination of exhaustion and relief, i expect. he's a fine player, a hard worker and an infectious character too - that quality and enthusiasm hopefully inspires his team-mates. if he can stay fit, i can only...

liverpool have done it on and off for a few years - playing 2 solid, functional types who get it and give it (recycle it in the modern parlance i suppose), and generally just anchor the middle of the park, allowing creativity to flourish around them. it can work, for sure, but it's obviously...

and talking of shrewsbury away, i remember going there in feb/march 2001 with our kid: took ages to get there, open terrace, cold and wet, abject performance (much like tuesday), got beat. we've no chance of going up we said (we were mid-table then). we snuck into the play-offs on the last day...
