1. In terms of position, my expectation was that we would finish 14th and it looks like it will be something like that. Where my expectations have been exceeded has been in our style of play. I did worry that we would take the pragmatic route and make Stoke look like Brazil, but mostly we have played some stunning stuff.

2. All of our players have had good seasons, even marginal players like the King of Spain and Alby have made a contribution when called upon. My top 3, in no particular order would be Fox, Holt and Ruddy.

3. Lambert understands that we can't dominate teams in the way we did in the last 2 years, so he has intelligently varied tactics and personnel.

4. No. They'll revert to type and go for a continental idiot.

5. Much more to come.

6. No.

7. I have not a clue who he'll put out. If it were me I'd go for Moro and Holt up front, but I'm always wrong. Elliot Bennett will rip you apart given a chance.

8. I've loved every second of it. Steve Kean is far too good for you. What I like best is the assumption amongst your fans (well the mouthy ones anyway) that you have some divine right to be in the top flight. What you actually are is a third division outfit punching above your weight. Bury writ large if you like.

9. Keith Newton and Alan Shearer have gone haven't they? Is Yakubu one of yours? He's quite good.

10. 1-1.

11. Well a few years ago it would have been Greta Scacchi, but she has gone to seed now, so probably Samantha Brick.
