if I am back from hanging out with my sister in time, i'll pop along. Might be able to get there 5.30ish if not 5.

Clearly playing for a move today I thought.

Really shone today. Delivery was fantastic.

phone em up?

i play - but one team is enough for me. I can't be bothered to scout for two.. it'd take toooo much time I'm PSV in World Cham 1441!

pathetic.

Lee, I was under the impression Bridges did alright?

Agreed about Gillespie. But disagree about Bridges. He has been excellent for Carlisle during his time there, creating goals, scoring out of nothing, but he does have a questionable injury record.

Lets hope he has more hits than misses. Good to hear he is actively looking!

So who is going to buy Raz and Saga? People have hardly been queing up...

He's only had 2 games back in pre season. Hard to tell, but is it heart still in it? He is a current international ? At least a million.

At least Pardew will know now that Lancashire isn't up to the job and gives the team less confidence. It is a shame, but I think the harder Olly tries, the more nervous he looks...

at least we have a manager behind things now. starting saturday, presumably.

We played fine first half. Then we started subbing players, as you do in pre-season, to give everyone a runout. Which weakened the team (of course) and so we let in some more goals. Second half perhaps was a waste of time, but not if 4-5 players got some fitness time? I don't agree we gave up.

Someone has been to the ITV school of dodgey camera work.

i don't think i'll be able to make it today now. Not that I had actually said I would on the thread, but I told spades etc at the football I'd be there! Sorry. Toe is giving me some grief today.

I thought Murty was pretty poor against Ajax. Whether he can do a job against lower opposition though... not sure.

I'm very much enjoying it at the moment. Whether that is simply naiveity to the true situation- the bad bits (and there is bound to be some) haven't yet been revealed. But I am quite happy in my igorance - roll on the new season, and some new (much needed) signings!!

awesome lyrics!

i'd be happy with mid table.

I think TheDellDays should do the press conference instead.

I thought Gore had gone ages ago. And Killers contract run out anyway?

Even if people question his record at Charlton- who's to stay he won't have learned from the experience? People don't just stay the same, they evolve and learn.

Finally, after all these years, a real manager!!

Well.. they are actually our local rivals... ? (ie. vaguely relevant to the match on Saturday) Anyway.. i'm not going to STOP anyone singing about JH If they want to. I'm just saying I wont.
