  1. They've probably been reading this forum.
  2. How many seats?
  3. Yup, suits me too. I really don't want playoffs, thank you.

  5. Agreed, Second place is the minimum that we should hope for. I don't fancy the playoffs where anything can happen, one dodgy decision or red card and it's all back to League 1 next season.
  6. Fourthted I wouldn't wish that on anybody and much as I'd like the loss expunged I have always fancied a trip down west.
  7. At the risk of sounding obvious, the only proof of the quality of the squad is the position in the table. A couple of disappointing games have dampened the mood somewhat.
  8. Could have been worse, could have been better. On balance I'd say it was about the best we could have expected, save perhaps signing Mackail-Smith.
  9. As it happens, I have paid £10. For some reason my subscription was deducted twice. And even I can't get on the forum at busy times.
  10. So Pulis is staying then?
  11. I would say 'not yet'. We're part of the way there but January windows don't solve many problems and it'll take another season or two for the players that NA doesn't fancy to dribble away. This is all part of the problem when you keep changing managers. Did I hear during ITV's commentary that in the 23 years that Alex Ferguson has beeb in charge we have had 21 managers?
  12. When the fire inspector came to look at my little factory he said that the electrical boxes were a common source of fires. I had been storing cardboard boxes next to the main switch/trip unit so they were soon moved. Aren't fire inspectors getting younger? This one was only about 12 years old.
  13. Beattie to Blackpool according to a snippet I heard on the radio whilst I was having my hair cut (do you see what I did there?)
  14. Some sort of PC to run everything? The TV becomes a monitor and everything goes through the PC.
  15. We need someone who can do the business between now and the end of the season.
  16. I think it's more of a psychological thing in that subconsciously the club and the players weren't too bothered about going through to the next round. Indeed, neither were the fans.
  17. That's true, but it doesn't explain why our players were barged off the ball and go nothing from Atkinson. I've since watched the match on a TV recording and it's amazing how misleading a picture it can give. Many of our 'mistimed tackles' were in fact nicking the ball away before touching the player. Nani didn't help by flinging himself to the floor at the mere appearance of any opposition.
  18. That's the way I view it. 60 minutes was enough to prove a point, then let them get a win so we can concentrate on the league. There's a grain of truth in this. These matches usually go to the team that wants it the most and playing Man U just didn't mean anything special to us, not in the same way that it might have to other clubs in the bottom two divisions who might never get another chance.
  19. Ah! but we have let Paul Wotton go and he did score the winner for Yeovil yesterday.
  20. There's a few on here: http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Components/cat/Hard-Drives---External It depends on how portable you want it and whether it needs a separate power unit. Remember that all hard drives end in failure.
  21. Have you tried social services or Age Concern? I think there are several organisations who will lend you one for a while. http://www.redcross.org.uk/What-we-do/Health-and-social-care/Social-support-in-the-UK/Medical-equipment
  22. It's a bit too early to start worrying about other results. All that matters at the moment is that we win as many as possible and the others' results won't be relevant.
  23. Going to Burnley apparently.
  24. The employer has a duty of care to his employees and is responsible for the actions of his employees even if they act in direct contravention of his instructions.
