Love that game. I was in a pub in Malta, we were already 2-0 down and realised it was a gooner pub. But I had the last laugh when Salteri scored the winner. I also won the pub quiz later that night, which really pissed off the owner!

We were kept in for at least 30 minutes after the game while Plod tried to clear the home Scum but as soon as we were let out they came at us and all we could say was “stick together “, “stand your ground” etc and bedlam ensued for the next hour!!

Wouldn’t have missed it for the world even though I was getting a but past it!

I felt like ‘Bricktop’ in Snatch!

“Look on me as your Nemesis “!

Took a few hits though as did we all!

COYs!

He can't cross and can't beat a man. That can't be coached in at this stage in his development. His only hope is being reinvented as a forward. his finishing and timing of runs is ok, I suppose.

The first two issues may be down to lack of confidence and could be worked on but you may well be right in reinventing him as a forward maybe playing off Big Dom!

I’m sure Frank has his own thoughts re BJ

I'm of the opinion there is a top player in BJ, he has had his weaknesses exposed in glaring fashion by Ange's suicidal inverted fullback nonsense and the painfully slow build-up play gave him scant opportunity to play to his greatest strength. He is a very very instinctive finisher, the issue lies with his confidence IMO because given time and space to make a decision he often makes a poor one, but when forced to react at a split second he is really very good at finding the back of the net or a decisive pass. I'm hopeful that Porro will be deployed as a more conventional wingback behind BJ when he plays (assuming we are indeed bringing in someone like Kudus to compete for the starting berth) which will give him the licence to find advantageous positions to break the offside trap and take the onus off him to track back and cover the massive void left by the tucked-in fullback.

There is certainly a good finisher there. And a player with pace (under utilised to date). And a player who will likely benefit from some elite coaching. He certainly deserves to be given a good chance this season.
 
A steaming Ricky Hatton once told me to fuck right off (for asking for a pic with him).

I'm just shy of 6ft2 and was a fit 14st then, but not ashamed to admit I did just what he ordered!
