  1. You wait until you try and cancel the Setanta package like my parents are trying to do at the moment....they are not alone! http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1105281 Luckily I get mine via Virgin Media

  3. One of the things that impressed me was his ability to play the simple pass sometimes the kids try to do too much. He just gets it down and plays it simple. A big tall lad that has the makings of a good footballer IMO. Only downside is his tendency to give away too many free kicks but that will disappear from his game with coaching and experience.
  4. I remember him and Bambi Cassells first game home to Liverpool Wright was abysmal...not surprisingly given the opposition that day. Ig memory servers me right we lost 3-2 to Whelan winner.
  5. I was sure there was a rule about u18 and only being able to sign for 2 years but having searched here http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/RulesAndRegulations/Additional/Postings/2005/11/Section_C_rules.htm cant seem to find it.
  6. Not really you are far better listening to it at home .....you get a non influenced views by what you hear rather than what you see type of experience ;-)
  7. Just had a knee Op that will sideline him for a bit. Just for info .....Cork and Lancashire played alongside each other the other week against Bristol City Reserves against Steve Brooker a battling ram of a striker and Lee Trundle. They did Ok although we were beaten 4-2 we missed several sitters and 2 of the goals were long range efforts. Lancashire did well in the air and Cork looked very good playing the ball out of defence.
  8. Yet having said all that anti-stuff you still post here? You are either: a) a masochist b) 3 and throwing your toys out of the pram because you can't get your way c) wimp hiding behind anonymity of a keyboard I will never understand why people constantly whinge about a forum and then continue to post....do one of two things. 1. Set up your own and moderate it how you like 2. Don't ever go on it as what you don't know can't hurt or upset you. I used to post on the old UI site a lot until it got infected by the unclean lot now I hardly ever post or read it.
  9. Did you hear that there was an explosion in Goldsmith Avenue PO this morning and caused a £1million worth of improvements?
  10. The main problem was we never did change to a manager...we did what we always do and went for the cheap option of appointing the coach/es above their station. If we had appointed a proper manager and at that time there were better options then we may not have had to endure games like Bristol Rovers!!!
  11. You mean football fans are fickle...bugger me I am shocked! The Paul Allen saga was a classic example of how much greed we all have...in fact when it was rumoured another takeover was in the offing there was disappointment that they were not as rich as him! A lot of it is green eyed monster stuff when looking at the other end of the M27 and how much investment they have had in. What would be Utopia for me? Someone coming in and just paying off our debts to enable us to forget the Administration word for good. We have the right model now....Chelsea are now really ramping up their academy as they realise its the best way. Last Saturday I was more gutted at the defeat than ever.... why? Because I realise these lads are actually giving a **** and not just mercenary buggers and trying the best they can I even had a row with a bloke going down the stairs after Birmingham who asked why people were clapping when we had lost and he couldn't see the fact those nippers had treated us to some of the best football seen here in years. The Robinho transfer 92k a week is obscene...its now cheaper to watch England than a Premiership game. I have watched our academy for years it started when Walcott was about 15 and have seen the progression of these nippers to the first team and beyond...I have bought into the academy and the efforts Lowe, Prost, Henderson and now Hockaday put in and we have already reaped rewards in transfer fees that otherwise would of seen as sunk.
  12. I just hope Paterson doesn't take it to heart too much and he looked really down in the last 10 minutes. That is why I think losing Euell at the time was a big blow as he always seems to help out the youngsters and IMO there is a bit of respect from the young players for him. I hope one of the management has a kind word in young Pato's ear he is too much of a talent to waste.
  13. I didn't see anyone ...which is very unusual as John Mortimore is usually there....no managers or players who all must of gone away for a break? I always stand the dressing room side as you normally get a chance of a word with a manager or an autograph of a player for my nipper but no-one was there..no gossip sorry.
  14. Thomson was a deflected shot after good build up and BWP was a well taken finish into the corner after Nathan left the full back for dead and slipped BWP a great pass. No-one should question his commitment after tonites performance from Nathan and he was tremendously quick and had an end product as well...unusually ;-)
  15. We absolutely gifted them the result by poor finishing in the first half same old Saints. For 40 minutes we were awesome, pace, passion, movement and skill. The defence with Cork (quality all night) and Lancashire were dealing with the robust Brooker and Lee Trundles guile quite comfortably. Imudia had a good game until kicked up in the air....something that the ref let go all night against the most physical side I have ever seen at Staplewood. Fish was outstanding at the back and got forward really well. I was very impressed with Calum McNish and another one who could come into te squad next season. Poor old Paterson had one of those nights in front of goal he should of had 4 but to his credit he kept battling and will come good again - he will be a star I think as he has everything to his game it just wasn't his night in front of goal and it happens to the best of them. BWP worked very hard and deserved his goal but many times he got in good areas but his touch and control let him down. Euell was really good but his injury where he looked as though he dislocated his shoulder knocked the stuffing out of us as Jason was controlling the middle and adding valuable experience to our young side. Best player was Nathan worked his socks off and was a pain in Bristols side all night. Jake left the full back for dead many times and until Euell went off was looking a match winner but he was forced deeper. We lost 4-2 but should of had at least 6 ourselves !! Forecast in goal ....worries me a little..for a big bloke doesn't command the 6 yard line and although couldn't get near the first goal I thought he didn't get anywhere near the second which came from a long way out..perhaps thats a bit harsh but I would not want him in above Kelvin yet. The result flattered Bristol a bit as we should of been out of sight and had Paterson and BWP taken those guilt edge chances we would of won comfortably. We still have some very good youngsters coming through and the first 40 minutes was a joy to watch. Shame Jason went off as I am sure we could of gone on to win as he was playing very well.
  16. We should ask for more than that. Last owner paid £48m to terminate her contract (quote) Plus he had to buy her a plane....... and a razor for the other leg......sorry coat got!
  17. Are they a PLC??
  18. Bloody hell DD I really agree with you on here about Jasmine in midfield (Watch that bite me on the arse tomorrow!). In the playoff season Jasmine went for a hernia operation and was out for a few games....did that coincide with a winning run? As I said initially he did very well at right back towards the end of last season BUT when the standard set is at that level its no wonder we struggled to create much last year.
  19. I think it will be interesting to see 2 of our old boys against us tomorrow and how they compete against our younger quicker side. I was never a fan of Jasmine early on but he had some very good games at right back towards the end of last season. Will Hammill actually deliver for Blackpool more than he did for us....he had the tricks, skills but very little end product apart from the Hull game we won 4-0 when he found himself on the 'wrong' wing. I hope he continues that rich vein of form he had with us ;-).
  20. Winona Ryder - great face Elizabeth Hurley - fantastic body Martine McCutcheon - great cleavage
  21. I am sure there was a lad from Keiths old forum that appeared on the first series. I wonder where he is now and if he posts on here?
  22. James Beattie works hard...well he did for us in the Prem. Kevin Lisbie has worked his socks off when I have seen him play - impressed me at Charlton Jamie Cureton work horse and good goal scorer Ageyemang?? Always runs the lines well and up there in the goal charts most seasons.. I was going to add Phillips as well but cant bring myself to. Will 4 do?
  23. He did and again in training....but lets not ignore the fact that it was his wages that were probably one of the deciding factors as well.
  24. Jeesh another one that cant read!! I SAID I RATE HIM IN THIS LEAGUE BUT HE DOES NOT SUIT OUR STYLE OF PLAY THIS SEASON and cannot afford to put him on the bench. Look at his stats on Wiki he managed 20+ goals for one season not prolific but a good strike rate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grzegorz_Rasiak#Derby_County
  25. One of the most prolific...is that not going a tad over the top a decent strike rate but prolific? Who said we wanted him to run around a lot...just a bit might of helped! As I said I rate him highly in this league but in our set up at the moment he is not the right sort of player. If we needed a plan B in a game then he would be good on the bench but we don't have the luxury of affording his massive wages to keep it warm.
