    Nevermind, John covered the college stuff. Anyway, I kind of like a dynasty. They all end but I do love seeing records tumble. I never thought Schumacher's would go. I thought Marquez would re-write the record books. I didn't think anyone would string together what Sebastien Loeb did in rallying.

    And then there's whatever the fuck happened in Tennis this generation.

    But then, he was a long term backer of The Undertaker [from before he fought Hogan at Survivor series] so it's just one of those things I've chalked up to him being long term right about.

    Football works differently due to the long-termism and basic hatred that runs through the game forever. No one ever develops a soft spot for x, y or z, but revisionism is often rife [ie United being ALL ABOUT ATTACK when they actually won 15 games a season 1-0 and had half their goals come from some combination of Ronnie Johnson, Gary Pallister and Steve Bruce etc].

    Hearing Jack Pitt-Brooke talk about Tottenham is like listening to me talk about Arsenal.

    "I have said things. Would I say it again? No. I said Tottenham play how they play but are still only fifth. It felt good at the moment but it is probably wrong.

    "I don't know which situation Pep was in. Getting knocked out of he Champions League is difficult enough to take. But then Liverpool made it to the final. You say what you say."

    The sly digs from these two have been good last couple of days. Pep's gonna blow once we don it.

    He was electric back in 13-14 when we made a run to the Youth Cup final. Then Kit Symons brought him off the bench 20 times in the Championship for a combined total of about 200 minutes before he buggered off to City for around Ł10m.

    While this team should win the game tonight, this does say he's probably more bothered about the two cup finals now if you pressed him on it.

    Already seeing why we're after a new CM or two.

    Curtis still wants too long on the ball and it goes to bits once Henderson/Thiago dont help Fabinho.

    Mings having one of those games where he'll be responsible for about 3 goals.

    McGinn is one that's been linked in the past. I wouldn't mind him in either.

    Brave defending from the Villa player on the past post there. Could have done without HT.

    I suspect Thiago and Salah will be coming in very sharply after HT.

    We've just named a back line that consists entirely of four centre backs for the Chelsea game.

    "DEFENCE! DEFENCE!" etc.

    Maybe we'll line them up in two banks of two. Just stationary in the penalty area perhaps? Who knows. The game may be about to be revolutionised.

    Forest Green's owner Dale Vince told BBC Sport: "It takes a bit of the shine off winning promotion. If there's any karma in football they'll languish in the Championship and we'll meet them there in a few years' time."

    "[Edwards] said he'd been advised by Watford and his agent to keep it a secret from Forest Green which I think is pretty poor from them. It's poor from Rob and he knows it.

    "I thought I knew him better as a person."

    The seethe from the owner
