  1. Job done and into the hat for the 5th round. Fingers crossed we get a home draw, apart from Chelsea and possibly Everton I think we have the beating of any of the others at St Marys.
  2. If he stays then maybe this could be a turning point, fans simmer as Ossie eats crow and then comes back to stick a load of goals away. By the end of the season he's a hero and everyone is going on about what a fantastic signing he's been. It happened with Artur so it could happen with Ossie. I just hope a way can be figured out to keep him in the fold, we paid a lot of cash for him and we've only seen glimpses of his fantastic ability.
  3. Full strength team please, pay Yeovil full respect and get that win. This is our season now.
  4. I'd be gutted to see him go, could potentially be one of our best ever strikers but he really isn't helping himself. If he has any chance whatsoever of staying he has to shown immediate contrition and a genuine desire to face the music, make ammends and give it his all from here on in. The fans have been willing him to do well but he's got to want to do it himself, he could still pull this one around if he really wanted it. Got to admit though the smart money is now on an exit and fairly sharpish one at that. How many points needed to safety - around 10/11?
  5. LOL never a dull moment at SFC. I'm one of Ossie's biggest fan - he is a class act but the rogue inside him may be taking over. Come on Ossie, get your head together and show us what you can do. You could still be a cult hero at the club.
  6. Not for me, still not clinical enough yet but if he could get better infront of goal he's got the lot and would be worth more than £20M.
  7. I can't see the club signing everyone being as Jan transfers are usually inflated and that we are looking pretty comfortable on 31 points. If we were though I'd like a decent back up GK and an attacking mid before CH.
  8. Feel pretty sick about that one, how the hell we conspired to let Sunderland back in after battering them senseless for virtually the whole of the first half and the majority of the 2nd is beyond me. JRod and Ricky should take a look at themselves, they could have plundered 5 before half time and the game would have been over. Throw in 2 nasty looking injuries to a couple of key players and it hasn't been the best. Also Gaston was fouled before the final foul on the edge of the box, he shouldn't have even got to the point of being injured as he was tugged beforehand, twice. Our midfield and Jack Cork in particular was magnificent, the guy did not deserve to be on anything other that the winning team. Boruc cocked up for the 2nd and where was the cover on the LHS? As well as we play we only seem to have 1 gear, we need to know when to up the tempo and put teams to the sword when we have them on the backfoot.
  9. I hate the slagging Tiss gets on here from a bitter minority, he's a legend and always will be. I've even read comments knocking his association with Pinnacle, unbelievable really. When the club were in dire straits Tiss manned up when others stayed silent. Regardless of the ins and outs most fans respected that. I appreciate what NC did and I didn't want him to go but he was a flawed individual. It was a damned shame that he couldn't sort things out with Tiss and Benali but Tiss will always be a legend in my book, can't ever take that away from him.
  10. Being as KL was our owner from Lge 1 through to where we are now it is actually her that has been the power behind the throne for virtually all our success. I hope she stays, I like the Liebherr's style of management, low profile, discreet and up to now willing to invest when investment is needed. The last thing any of us would want is a Romanov or a Tan taking over the club.
  11. Me too, been a great season so far, no players have left, manager still in place and fingers crossed for an exciting cup run to come. After so many years of struggle it's all good in SFC land.
  12. No one has any idea what's going to happen so let's just get behind the team and KL, she has after all allowed SFC to spend a small fortune over the last few years without interfering. She's no mug and knows that SFC is a rather valuable asset now, I expect some astute recruitments and a continuation with MP and the players as they were. KL is SFC, NC is not any more. Get behind the team, we've got a game on Saturday and could grab another 3 points.
  13. Firstly thanks to NC, he's done an amazing job, top class managerial appointments and kept the funds flowing when needed. It's a blow but every dog has its day, the club will go on in much better shape thanks to him so huge respect to the guy. Now onto KL. Not sure why the despondency, the woman is no mug and SFC is a £100M+ business - she is not going to treat an investment of that size with anything other than utmost respect. She may sell but I hope the Liebherrs stay as I really like their low profile management of the club. No barking mad publicity stunts, just quiet determination. She'll get the right people if needs be and I'm sure any personnel changes will be handled professionally. First task is to keep MP and the players on side till at least the end of the season and I don't see why she can't persuade them to stay. Someone on here was saying the season was becoming boring. Is this exciting enough for you?
  14. It seems that this club just cannot get through a season with no incident. 9th in the table, looking good, relegation worries all but over, easy cup draw and then the sh*t hits the fan. SFC is a lot of things, but boring isn't one of them.
  15. Micky Fialka's Ford Ka has just been seen in the car park. Just saying.
  16. "Struggling to get excited by our league campaign" Really? The first half of the season was great fun as we bobbled around the top 6 getting rave reviews. Christmas saw the limitations of our squad cruelly exposed but we should have now done enough to ensure survival and are on track to be crowned as the 'best of the rest' which is brilliant. Being as we'd have to greatly exceed champs league form to even get to 6th (if Spurs beat us at WHL we'd need to overhaul 13 points in 16 games - forget it) we should grab those 12 odd points needed to seal survival ASAP and then look at blooding in youth and rotating our first XI to keep them 100% fit for cup games. If we do I think we've got a real fighting chance in the competition. Most fans would be chuffed to bits with 8th and a really good cup run.
  17. Took a worldy fron Ossie but no mean feat to take a point from a club with the combined resource of an oil rich state. It's now between Citeh and Chelski for me (Arse will have a sticky patch at some stage). I think Citeh will blink first but we'll see.
  18. Fingers crossed 3 points, the earlier we get to safety the more we can fully concentrate on the Cup and blooding in more youth. If we can minimise any injuries in our first teamers for cup games then we've a fair chance of going a long way. Silverware is what it's all about, that trophy cabinet is looking pretty bare.
  19. First target to get the 12 points to guarantee safety then FA Cup should become the main focus. If we could reignite our challenge for top 6 then great but we'd have to have some unbelievable form to get higher than 8th so I really can't see it now.
  20. Me too, Lukaku is the only player I'd entertain in some kind of swap deal. Failing that I want him to stay, he's so good it's easy to forget he's only 18 and he's going to get better as he gets older. Can see Luke pushing into the England setup within the next 12-24 months and then the price goes up even more.
  21. Spam Unveil Yacht for 'End of Season' Bash. Tickets still available.
  22. The only downer about Boruc is he's not English - I'd rather him between the sticks in Brazil instead of Joe Hart. Much better keeper imo.
  23. If a player from another club had complained like AL did over what seemed an innocuous interchange I'd find it pretty pathetic, I can't be a hypocrite on this. The non pen was a very bad decision but AL and the club haven't done themselves any favours over this. Sorry.

    Danny Ings

    Ricky isn't particularly mobile but we manage with him up front on his own so not sure about that argument. I think Rhodes is young enough and decent enough to be converted to a more Lamberesque lone striker role if we really wanted him. He's also already proven over several seasons. There's goals in the guy for sure. However Ings does look interesting too. Looks to me like he's carrying a bit of excess but if he ever came here he'd shave off a few pounds which would make him even sharper. With his Saints connections the fans would probably cut him some slack too whilst he was adjusting.
  25. Lambert's at Leeds, pivotal result and the first time that I started to think we could do it (although it was Kelvin's night TBH). Connolly at BHA. Fonte gets the headlines but DC was the man that sparked us into life in that game. Six mins to go, sqeaky bums all round with Hudders hot on our tail, up pops DC to get the equaliser, now sniffing blood we go on to snatch a vital 3 points. Great memories under NA.
