    Our defenders causing yet more problems!

    I’ve been sending emails to the office from my phone involving someone called Marianne.

    Unfortunately, this is autocorrecting to Mariappa.

    Maybe the job in Finance is the best way forward for AM.

    Did the email go through? Mariappa is probably scratching his head looking at a spreadsheet as we speak.

    Bizarre that the phone would autocorrect in that direction. I guess it has learnt that you write a great deal about AM ....and believes that you can't type ? Did you remember to leave a line between each sentence ?

    So long as someone does the analysis, I don’t mind who.

    It seems I use Mariappa more than Marianne.

    Odd as Mariappa doesn’t work for me.

    Double spaced emails strictly observed in work correspondence.

    Unfortunately Mariappa "doesn't work" for Gracia either atm.
    Glad to hear your strict forum standards aren't skipped for less important work emails. I only ever use double-spacing when something goes awry in "Word" and I don't have the skills to fix it....

    He's not a well man is he, Souness?
    Perhaps his judgement has been clouded by illness and disappointment that LFC lost.
    Probably best, however, if Gino nails Douc's head to a coffee table,by way of reparation.

    He is the worst type of "expert". Horrible guy with zero tolerance of any point of view which isn't perfectly in line with his own. I hate the guy.

    The efficient solution would be for me to hire bods with the same name as WFC stars.

    Foster shouldn't be too difficult.

    Hughes a piece of cake & Gray is doable.

    A postboy called Bobby P? Otherwise, tricky.

    Conversely, Gino could match my co's line up. We have Carroll, Kennedy, Garcia, Rojo. All promising. And Graham!

    'Come over to the window, my little darling
    I'd like to try to read your palm
    I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
    Before I let you take me home
    Now so long, Marianne
    It's time that we began to laugh
    And cry and cry and laugh about it all again
    Well, you know that I love to live with you.'

    I'd be up before HR before I knew it.

    He didn't "tackle", he "assaulted".

    If we had a striker like Josh King, i.e. one with pace, power and decent technique, we’d be a formidable side.

    In an alternate universe, had we been the team that signed him and Ake, I bet we’d be absolutely ace.

    I've never liked Souness - aggressive, self-opinionated: A nasty player and a second-rate manager.

    Good post.
    Of course, the pace of the Muff forwards and their well-practised movement are their fortes. They are a good attacking outfit, even if we don't like them.

    Well, there's our problem, then! Mapps was following what he thought was the game-plan: He just took it that this was the new Spanish-coaching way of instructing players.

    Mr.Kompany did the same thing early in the game against Everton and got away scot free although it was a clear red card. Somehow he manages to escape punishment twice. It will be a blessing when VAR arrives. Souness has all the intelligence of a rotting carrot.

    You cannot compare the two even remotely. GT would not tolerate or instruct his players to go rolling around as if they had just graduated from RADA in order to get fellow professionals sent off or booked. This is why he and Clough had an affinity and mutual respect as both tried and succeeded to get their players to play within the laws of the game. What Saint Eddie does is cynical in the extreme and if players get reprimanded and punished for waving imaginary cards then he should be hauled up infront of the FA to explain himself. Only they don't because the patron saint of diving is probably inked in by them and the media as a future England manager.
