  1. Pretty certain it wasn’t. But it was at least at 3.00 PM on a Saturday as it should be. I thought that I remembered Moran missing a decent chance, maybe not long before the first goal ?
  2. Very sad news. Great player for us, such an important part of building a promotion side,and as part of probably our best ever team in the early 80s, and did as much as could be expected following Lawrie as manager . A sad end to a distinguished life. As a player my main memory will be of seeing that thunderous long distance goal for Villa in the League Cup Final second replay at Old Trafford.A truly classic football moment. RIP
  3. A couple of injuries to some of the best players for any of the teams would make a huge difference to the outcome. There is a very long way to go.
  4. Best he leaves it at one line, really.
  5. Presumably this will save Saints some of the redundancy payments ? I guess deals are done so that both Saints and Jones are better off with him in a job ?
  6. We had a very long unsuccessful run against them in the 70s and 80s I think., broken “ only” by cup QF win in 84.
  7. So they are predicting, on average 89 points for Ipswich , which is just 1.6 points per game from now , the same as WBA have done to date ? If somebody offered RM a 90 point target for promotion, he’d take it in a heartbeat, I should think. I was wondering what realistically would be a good target for us to hit from here. We have 4 very tough away games , (including Leeds last day and who knows how that will affect things ). 13 wins, 6 draws 3 defeats would get us to 93, if my maths is correct.
  8. I managed to miss that ( not being at the game today) due to a mislaid ( but now discovered ) phone. Most try to see the goal. JA is looking the business at last. Does demonstrate how being in a poor side ( and maybe out of position) can make a decent player look substandard. In the side ahead of Charly is quite a compliment about how well he is doing.
  9. I think he said the clockwork mouse thing twice ? I wouldn’t be calling him that unless I was very sure of myself. !! defenders must dread facing him. Anyway, terrific performance , good to see us do what we know the squad is capable of. Other champ sides can only dream of having the likes of Che, RF and Charly on the bench, so we need to make hay. Mental strength is going to be key. I think RMs pretty tough start to life here will stand us in good stead.
  10. The cup winning season we went 16 unbeaten in league and cup , starting with this beating of Sunderland, and ending at York.
  11. Compared to the last promotion team, the very obvious difference in quality is SRL. That team went up with 88 points, a total we may well beat this season. Last season the current points total would have had us second , just behind the leaders on GD.
  12. They have a knack of winning…..
  13. So if City want Jones, and offer him less money than we are paying him , presumably a deal can be struck that reduces our payments, and gives him more money overall than his pay off deal?
  14. Yep, she has us worked out, and if she can, so can Championship managers.
