The Banana Factor

Me and the missus are over from Oz for christmas and didn't manage to get tickets for the game, anybody happen to have a couple spare or season tickets they can't use?

What i put, He who ****s her laughs now or something was the translation i got from my French friend who translates in to english for a job, she chuckled when i told her it though and said it could depend on the context.

Whoever ****s her laughs now! An interesting comment, wonder what it relates to!

Umm i am the Wow Factor, you cant patent it!

I forget that some people will have never played in goal. You sweep up when you can get to the ball, you go back to your six yard line and wait for the poor touch when you cant. Any of you ever watched a good goalkeeper? The backspin is no excuse, thats his job, to judge these things! Its stuck in the mud, Nige was talking about the fact the pitch wasnt bouncing before the game so he should have known! And he did miss it by a very long way, i dont think i need to get my ruler out, that fact is he missed it. There is a general rule of goalkeeping mistakes " did he look like a ****" yes he did! Therefore its a mistake! I also dont think bart is so much of an unkown quality that he would "derail" our promotion bit thats a bit sensationalist!

The exeter game seems to sum up Kelvin in a single game. Excellent shot stopper of "glory shots". As a keeper i love saving the ones full length dive a couple of foot off the ground as they look hard but are the easiest, you don't need to worry about holding the ball just get strong hands to it and parry it away. Looks magnificent but every decent goalie can do it. The true test of a goalie is holding the ones you need to hold, and getting to the edge/outside of your box to clear/gather the ones you need to. Remember as a goalie you are ALWAYS covering another players mistake. Kelvin did the first thing really well at Exeter, he always has, however he spilled a very weakly struck shot that fortunately Fonte was there to clear, and the goal was 100% his fault. Thats not to say they wouldn't have scored if he had stayed in the right position, (edge of six yard box waiting for the striker to take a poor touch then charge) it was a one on one after all. By running out and missing the ball by at least 4 foot he made it an even easier task. Bart is largely an unknown quality, we have seen some flashes of brilliance and a couple of mistakes. The main flaws he has is slight misjudgment of deep crosses and his kicking. Well Kelvins distribution is poor as well, he cant even kick from hand, the first thing you learn as a goalie. What bart does have is very good technique. An analysis pf his last game will show that he a) gathered through balls at the very edge of the area due to good judgment and good starting position. b) made the saves he would be expected to c) made one excellent save from the dipping nani shot that bounced in front of him. The hardest judgment call to make, Kelvin would have blocked that shot rather than gathered it. I am not guaranteeing that Bart will be our next No 1 as we hopefully climb through the leagues, however Kelvins games is getting worse as he gets older, hes has made 3 or 4 key mistakes in the last month, as well as the ones that haven't been punished. He is definitely not going to cut it in the championship. Wouldn't it be more sensible to blood Bart and see if he will before we decide whether to go shopping for a new keeper or not?!

Haha no some Brazillian girl, a friend of a friend knew her, i never saw her there but apparently she worked there amongst many other places

Did any of you every meet a stripper called Maia in there?!
