  1. Better Stadium too.
  2. And me.
  3. But that cannot be correct surely as 'arry told the press that he spoken to the club owner and told him that "if we are bottom at the turn of the year, he should keep his hands in his pockets!"
  4. There is hot water in the Toilets in the Chapel Stand and this has been the same for a couple of seasons now. Good job the environmental health people have not picked this up too.
  5. We want our stripes back please Mr C.
  6. Hard to believe he has done so well at such a young age.
  7. He has not unpacked all his China from the Removers Crates yet. Give him a break.
  8. It was good for the club financially, that they let Chelsea have so many tickets, otherwise the gate would have been well down for the Champions of Europe.
  9. When I began working in a Bank at Bournemouth in the late 1950's, the deputy Chief Cashier was a Joe Lancaster who flew Lancasters for Bomber Command. He told me once, that he was forced to ditch near Alton, Hants after coming back from a raid as the engines were on fire. As coincidence would have it, the orchard he landed in belonged to the parents of a girl who worked at the same branch.
  10. We also have a + goal difference too.
  11. I remember playing in boots like these when a stud was usually lost after each match. I was then given a pair of Manfield Hotspur Continentals where the sales pitch was that you had much more freedom of the ankle movement. I think these changed the style of boots forever.
  12. Top Notch performance that and really enjoyed. Left SMS with a warm glow. Nice touch by the fans and OXO and Theo at the end.
  13. "He that hath knowledge spareth his words" Proverbs 17:27
  14. Not foolish at all ,as one is never too old to learn.
  15. Obviously nor has Kelvin.
  16. Butland is no better than Gazza, especially for £6m if true. Oh for another Antii Niemi.
  17. He was not entirely blameless though, as he lets in far too many goals from long range shots. Any good goalkeeping coach will tell you that when facing play, you should stay on your line until the player with the ball comes into the Penalty Area and then you move out to narrow the angle.Kelvin was at least 4 feet off his line when that excellent shot came in. If he had been on his line there might,just might, have been a chance of saving it as it dropped down into the goal.
  18. NA picked a tactically correct Team for Stoke to start but then spoilt it when 3-1 up against 10 men, by bringing on defenders when we had pace on the bench which would have done very nicely against a tired side. I only hope he gets it right against the Arse especially with OXO and Theo in the side and their parents in the Itchen.
  19. Guly's miss, NA Substitutions and Kelvin being out of position for Jeromes goal cost us the game against 10 men. Pace would have tired the defenders even more yet Nigel brings on 2 full backs? Kelvin was at least 4 foot off his line when Jerome scored. How many more times will he let in long shots when off his line. Individual errors I am afraid spoilt a great team performance. We must now sign a good goalkeeper and a pacey right winger so JP can play in his proper position on the left. After all he is left footed!
  20. Fulham continually got down the wings and crossed into danger areas. Why cannot we do that? Is it because our wingers are playing on the wrong side. I notice that Jason Puncheon has to bring the bal lback inside to get it on his left foot. He has been one of our most consistant players and perfhaps should play on the left and only switch to the right on change of tactics.
  21. Top award for TP and a worthy appointment for him for all those who had the privilege of seeing him play. John Sydenham and Terry on each wing, wide wingers with pace, getting to the by-line and crossing . Magic. Matt le Tis and Benali came long after TP so I expect their time will come.
  22. Montgomery never told Rommel of our tactics.
  23. Argyle Supporters did not think much of Guilfoyle when he handled the Administration down at Plymouth. He gave exclusivity rights to the Chairman of Truro FC whom the world and his wife knew did not have the wherewithall to purchase. I believe Guilfoyle had to refund some of his admin. fees.
  24. There is a Saints Shirt and Memorabilia behind the bar at the Iberico Restaurant, Vale do Lobo on the Algarve.

    Jose Fonte

    He looks excellent now. His Reading pre-match media interview was superb on Friday. Such an intelligent person & player.
