Does that work when the tax office phone too?

Very reasonable given the usual heady mix of Labour dithering and knee jerking over the last 7 days.....

All sounds very reasonable. Perhaps you should do Pardew's post match interviews for him so we get a rational answer to a reasonable question?

Good stuff - thanks for sharing. Of course, if I was a cynic (which I'm obviously not... :-) ) I might be inclined to say that you wouldn't expect Rickie to tell a fan at the training ground that he was unhappy and looking to leave in the summer if that's indeed what he was thinking. A diplomatic player would say what Rickie said regardless of what was going through his mind. Anyway, as I say, not my view.....just that of an imaginery cynic....

What does being in "voluntary administration" actually entail? As far as I'm aware, there was no announcement to this effect to the Stock Exchange nor was an administrator engaged at that juncture (?) Which suggests that 'voluntary administration' is merely a subtle shift in the way the incumbant board go about their operations rather than something tangible?

Good evening. Derren Brown I assume?

I know that this observation will be met with the "one man doesn't maketh a team" response but he is one of our most influencial players at the moment.

If it was that simple an explanation why did Pardew not just say that rather than lay into the interviewer for asking a 'negative' question? Pardew said he subbed James because we needed to get another forward on.

Pardew: "Asking me about the James substitution is not what you should be asking me tonight"....

Pardew is laying into the officials big time. He sounds really upset

Pardew: "The referee didn't help us one iota"

It's seemingly strange decisions like tonight that lead to some people questioning Pardew's apparent lapses in tactical decisions every now and then. You wouldn't catch me drawing such conclusions though

So, what was playing James for 20 minutes or so all about?

Oh well. All Stockport fans on Saturday then....

Yes, was for the ref

Ok...time for someone to give the Huddersfield matchday caterers a back hander.....
