Aye, both teams can use the "missing players" defence - although Stoke seemed a bit too eager pre and post match to keep banging on about it, which I thought was strange at the time given that their half-time team consisted of "they've only got 11 players so they're going to tire out if we keep chasing them" :lol:
They keep saying their strategy will take several years to implement, I accept this and realise that in the future we may be able to hold onto players much easier if we manage to achieve success without burning cash to get there. There's next to no point in overspending until you're in the s*** to get to Europe, only to fall out of it for several years and potentially enter relegation battles. Be frugal, spend the money wisely but at all times keep a core of good players in the side and try the utmost to create a core which is reasonably stable for three-four years.

I fully expect to get slayed and slated here for being a w***** apologist and maybe I'm wrong, maybe all they care about is lining their pockets and f***ing us over but you can argue it both ways. The haters have a more aggressive way of talking about it but we'll not know who's right until MA's ownership comes to an end.

Gash?

QBG - did you ever write a match report or did the dissertation consume too much of your soul?

The dissertation has consumed all of my soul. I've got an essay in for tomorrow which I completely forgot about :lol: I'll do one today in one of the mini breaks I give myself.
