    So this geezer is a good card player, eh?
    Is he up for a game of chess!

    So we need Noble to time his tackles properly and Carroll to keep his wings tucked in .

    He’s from Chester, that’s in the north ? Enough said !

    yep another northerner ? What better punishment from the FA for daring to criticize the Warrington w@πker than to appoint another bias, not even fit to referee according to ex ref and bias Halsey, to make it a lottery and assist the northern baggies in their quest ! 😉
    Happy new year everyone 😀

    Yeah but this one is a homer too, so all we’ve got to do is fall over. Shouldn’t be a problem for our midfield! I’m sure Brunt and McCarthy will oblige and resort to kicking lumps out of Lanzini and Arnie for good measure!
