Reversely, there's Pulis Jr... oh.

3 years? Blimey how time flies. RIP.

Nah, Phil came on to her whilst drunk. No woman in the world wants that.

Which, I suppose, shows how much Morgan has improved in the last year or so, as I wouldn't want him loaned out now! He's not been consistant this season, but he's certainly improved playing in a better side.

+1. Aside from the fact he's been out injured for ages, he's not a spring chicken anymore, and we have 3 other players capable of playing in his position. Even if he gets back to full fitness, he'll then have to oust Semi, Thomas and James. I thought they looked good in both cup games last week. Waigo was great against MK Dons, we've been crying out for a pacier player up front, and against Pompey he was putting himself about and causing all kinds of grief to the Pompey defence. His eye for goal is somewhat lacking at times, but as long as Lambert is knocking them in, that's not a major concern.

Exactly. In 2034, a season before we get a special 150 anniversary kit, we can tell our kids and mates that "We were there", and have the kit to prove it. Don't like it? Don't buy it. You can always keep this seasons kit.

I have no problem with either the argumentalists nor the happy clappys. The opinions of both are valid. FWIW I'm technically a glass half full man, I think we're lucky to be in existance and always willing to give time to people to prove themselves, and I think that without Mr Liebherr we wouldn't have anything to be positive or negative about. My problem comes from those that refuse to listen to the other sides points of view. It's all very well thinking we should be doing better, that's an opinion, but then moaning at the more positive people for giving time to the club is not on. Likewise with the happy, positive souls - moaning about the negative posters is still moaning. This board would be duller place if we were all happy as larry, or miserable as sin. There, now I've moaned about both sides. My work here is done.

I'm not a season ticket holder because I work the dreaded LUL shiftwork, but in terms of seating position it is so much better sat up top. I much prefer being at the back, better atmosphere and a better view. Sadly for me, if I take my girlfriend along, she has cruddy eyes, and we have to sit near the front, which is when I tend to rely on the screens to follow the action.

Yes, I see traits of myself in him.

I've never like the stupid two windows thing. Clubs in January are either paranoid they'll miss out on players and splash the cash big, worried they're going down and sign unneccessary players, or oppositely tentative, not buying anyone in case the financial market crashes between February and June and they can't get anyone of the wage bill. It played a part in our relegation from the Premiership if you ask me. In the past with one window from June until March, we were able to strengthen the bits of our team that needed strengthening as and when we wanted to, such as in '96 with Berkovic and Ostenstadt, and later with Pahars and Evans. With the introduction of the two window system, the team you had at the start of the season was the one you had to live with until January, and with our defence shockingly unstrengthend at the end of August 2004, we couldn't make the decision to sign someone when we needed him. With the old window system, we could've brought in that illusive defender and Jacobson and Davenport would have been names barely uttered by us, if at all. In addition to all that, you have the fact the newspapers can continually speculate, more excitement for the fans (a reason to watch SSN eagerly every day) and the money would also flow more freely between clubs. Ok, it's ok for us in the lower leagues to an extent, with the emergency loan window enabling us to bring in players as and when we need them, but I would much rather see a return to the old system. (...and yes I would see the irony in one of our players having a great early spell in the season and getting pilfered by a bigger club...)

Hatch, it suprises me that you don't remember the lolcat fred from years past...

He killed himself because he was a smug, egotistical, attention seeking ****!

Oh I'm still hopeful. The poor dog is a nervous wreck now though. :smt066 One day some animal lover will pay up. Until then, I just punch my parrot.

Yeah I realised that after I'd posted it! My interest in the Premiership has somewhat diminished in these last 5 years...

Let Brum have the bye, but as payment for putting us out of the cup illegally, they should be made to give us a player for nowt. I reckon it should be Dind..., no wait, Quinc..., no wait, Yebd... no wait, Vanden B...., no wait, O'Har...no wait..., do they actually own any of their ****ing players?

I'm not so sure. All the teams at the bottom will start panicking before long, and this guy has Premiership experience. A Phil Brown or Brian Laws could see him as ideal cover. Either way, I don't think we need any loan signings. I hope we use the squad we have until the summer.

"We've got a Semi on" It's me vs the other half once again, I'm sure she'll make my life hell whether we win or lose, so the outcome I'm predicting is a draw (which would be a very good result!) Head says Norwich win though. Can we up our game? We need Puncheon to show what he's made of. Plus, Lallana has been my MOTM in the last two games, which shows he's back in form. Could swing things our way! 1-1 though.

Always rated him. Would be a fantastic signing but not at a League One level. Prem teams will be interested.

...AND with Powell at CB! They couldn't spell Barts name though...

Oh my God, you've just drilled home the fact that I am a year older than him. ********. I'm waaaaaaaay more immature though. And have a bigger belly. And have achieved nothing in 29 years. Where's my razor blades...

Until we're mathmatically out of the running for a play-off spot, I won't give up hope, but it's not looking too rosy. Either way I'll be happy with anywhere in the top half of the table this season, that'll actually be a good result IMO, with a big push next season.

Happy Birthday Rickie and Clarkey. Lambert easily has another 20 years worth of playing career left in him. Stick him on a contract of that length please.

Thanks to alcohol I can't remember what happened this morning! :-D

We're out. We'd have gone out one way or the other, it was just a shame it had to be against the Skates. I wouldn't want reinstatement. We'd only lose to Brum IMO, all that we'd gain from it is gate and possibly TV money. With the Wembley trip in the bag, we can now concentrate fully on the League without any side tracks. It's up to the players now to turn our cup form into our league form.

Saga hattrick if memory serves. He'll be remembered for something...
