    Wasn't just at the back. Our passing across the pitch was v poor.

    Somebody is still unhappy about the declining interest in airshows across the nation.

    That was because our centre backs were gibbering wrecks and we couldn't play out from the back.

    We weren't getting solid phase one ball in midfield to build from

    'declining interest'

    Dear God, I wouldn't even know where to start picking that apart.

    It's a long, long time since he was a pilot and, sadly, demntia appears to be affecting his memory.

    'if a loop is performed with sufficient skill, even at the top of the manoeuvre when the aircraft is upside down, the pilot could keep a positive loading of just one ā€œgā€ ā€“ which is to say, the forces acting on the plane would be the same as if it were the right way up. He often demonstrated the truth of that by flying his (non-aerobatic) light aircraft low over the airfield, pulling up into a loop and landing off the bottom of it'

    None of this makes any sense at all. A 'loop' carrying plus 1 over the top cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be classified as a loop - it will be some sort of egg-shaped monster with, most importantly, a speed at the five-eights of about mach f**king 3.

    Norm has become a dangerous lunatic.

    He did that in about 1982

    Our centrebacks being gibbering messes doesn't mean everyone else HAS to be.

    That's why you have players more adept on the ball in the team. But they were all at it. Santi in particular was thriving in the Bobby P suicide-pass role.

    Clearly the pressure of what was going on behind affected the midfield.

    They weren't getting solid first phase ball to work with, as a result of which Liverpool pushed up and seemed to outnumber us in midfield.

    Please stop saying "first phase ball".

    Why?

    It was a phrase I was coached with, in the UK, 30 years ago, professionally. It is clear, concise and comprehensible by all but the most stupid.

    Are you amongst the most stupid?

    I don't know Glenn, am I? What shall we talk about next? Picking up back passes?
