Trusthouse Forte.

A few years back (2002?) I stayed at a hotel in Grimsby. The carpet was patterned with the THF logo as well as stain coming out of the bathroom.

There was a mint on the pillow. Next to the cigarette burn...

The Post House Hotel at Heathrow. Is it even still there? Used to love that place; never stayed there but, as a kid, when you came up the M40 you knew you were in London when you saw it. And look over to your left and you could see Wembley's twin towers over the horizon.

I watched yesterday with a fellow Gooner and two non-Scouse Liverpool supporters one of whom was Mrs Lincs. I am still bitterly disappointed that we have become also-rans so soon into what should have been a promising season. I have watched all three Liverpool games so far, all of which should have been draws yet they converted them all into wins. Because their manager changes things around.

Yes, I agree. I really thought we, at least, would batter them.

Think we should focus on getting Plan A right first.

No, our defending is alright. But Arsene said that that was the easy bit; it's the page one, rudimentary ground level competence test for a coach. If defending was all they had to worry about then every coach could be a genius.

Just think of yourself out in the middle; batting must be a piece of piss if you don't actually have to score any runs.

But maybe our own defence wouldn't be so good if we actually won the title. Good. We have to accept that, embrace it. Revel in it.

Batting is wonderful- unless someone ******* asks you to start scoring runs.
