I'd forgotten how sexy a tap into an empty net is.

Raphael Meade scored a hat-trick in my first ever reserve match with my old man.

The had 3 black players as the spine of the team. Chris White at CH. I told my dad Raphael Meade would play for England {I was about ten.} He laughed and said I doubt it, but the black midfielder seems to have a decent left peg and could be the real deal. Just ask Glenn Cockerill's jaw.

Love that knew exactly what I meant.

Also the line " Dennis Bergkamp is preferred to Thierry Henry" makes me both smile and cry

Bobby to Dennis Wise on 8m25s

I still occasionally wake up in the middle of the night with a sense of disbelief and shame...I wonder if professionals do the same.

Don't think so. That's why they pay them a hundred million pounds a-week.

Yes but they just gather in Wetherspoons these days

Salah, who put a pen (just) wide last night, is allegedly asking for ?500,000 per week, up from ?350,000, to stay. Just bonkers! And they still have VVD and TAA to sort. All three can sign pre-contracts with other clubs in January.

Salah is 32. I'd tell him to **** off, tbh.

They often have two great passes leading to them. Not Bergy eye-of-a-needle stylee but still perfectly weighted.

And it's telling them that while they have 4 defenders and a goalie, we've still run them so ragged that we have a forward totally unmarked in the six yard box with a tap in our cat Puddle Paws could score.

And when you have two waiting for the tap in like Kai and Gabby for the 2nd goal, it takes the p?ss even more.

So let's have more of these - I've just remembered how fun they are. Don't get me wrong, I still love perfectly hit corners powered home with a header like our 3rd, shots from outside the box like TP5 and esp. B's cutting inside onto his left, going past people and hammering it into one or other top corner.

But with ?din back, B as good as ever and JT showing what he can do and hopefully starting to get the right wing triangle telepathy like Benny Blanc, hopefully we can get more of those. Kai and Gabby M are both on form, full of confidence and have the required movement and timing.

And when we eventually get a left side with the LB and inside left combining with Gabby like our right wing works, hopefully we'll get Kai and B tapping in Gabby M crosses.

Anyway, I now officially declare tap ins to an empty net sexy again.

Can we please avoid using the abbreviation JT? It makes me think of John Terry
