Yes he probably will - as long as he celebrates by kicking the ball at the post and into his own face I will tolerate it a bit more....

That would be quite a feat to repeat that

I read that Cress was OK - big loss if he's out as he's been showing some form.

Indeed he has.
However yet again on Monday Salah had a couple of shots where Cress just turned his back.Its unforgivable as a defender yet him, Arthur and Oggy constantly do it.
Does my head in

I think Diop was also turned for their goal, although to be fair he was probably still expecting the tt of a lino to flag it. wker.

In fairness he got turned by a bit of skill, he didn’t turn because he was scared of getting one in the gonads !

Reminds me of a painful lesson I learned when I was a hockey goalkeeper in my teens.

Facing a penalty corner one day, the geezer properly launched it at me at warp speed aimed straight at my (safely ensconsced in a cricket box) bks.

I shat myself, instinctively spun around and stopped it with my (totally unprotected) arse cheek.

Laid me out like a carpet.

The resulting bruise was horrific.

Still, didn't let a goal in so heyho.

An unusual way of puckering up !

I'd be surprised if we see Carroll start again.

With out injury records I won't be.

Arnie as second half sub presumably, depending on how things going.

I pleased Pelle started with Hernández, he didn't do anything wrong against Liverpool.

[TCEvo]

Draw. Take that. Bit of a break now, probably good for squad.

[BrabusMog]

slightly jarring as we were 1-0 up but we took a bit of a battering second half, so an away point is a good result all things considered.

[TCEvo]

Did you go to that one BM?

[BrabusMog]

No, I was supposed to but something came up unfortunately. I managed to catch the second half on TV.

In other news, Wimbledon continued their cracking home form with a 2 nil loss to Burton.

[TCEvo]

I was supposed to be at Brighton v Burnley - lack of trains (Essex & Sussex) killed that off; appears I've dodged a bullet as BHA are being stuffed 3-0 at the moment.

Saw that earlier and just laughed.

My nephew, a Millwall fanatic, has a 6 y.o. daughter, Rosie, lovely little girl.
She has got herself a new beau, her dad is gutted, the shrewd little kid’s a Hammer.

Hopefully the short summer break will do wonders for the squad as it did last year!

Nasri, Anderson & Lanzini creating for Arnie. Well you never know.

Short break - why? (unless I'm due a d'oh).
