Glue is my favourite.

What i have been impressed with by them is the manner of their wins. They were blowing teams away at one point 4-0 at Charlton and P'boro i believe but they have also won a lot of games 1-0, just done enough which is what teams that win things do.

You're right it wasn't a corner it was a free kick which wasn't a foul. Was Alan Curtis playing for us then?

We didn't need to we have Jonno Quick chomping at the bit for his chance. Also Adkins would have had no idea on the extent of the injury at the time of the interview.

You'd fancy us over two games against anyone in this league, however how often does the team that finish 5th or 6th go up via play offs? And it would be sods law that we beat Bournemouth 3 times comfortably during the season then they fluke a win over us in the play offs.

what a ridiculous post, do you seriously think an international manager would call up a player just so a club he has no connection with in the third tier of another countries football pyramid can get a game postponed?

He looks a bit like you mate.

Bizarre post. Surely that is the point of a target man? Ball goes him to him, he holds it up, flicks it on, controls and passes and brings other players into the game who are more mobile or am i totally missing the point of a big man/target man up front and they are supposed to run around a lot in a Brett Ormerod type way? And as someone has said his control, passing and vision is very good at this level. I dont agree he would be good in the hole though, not mobile enough so would be easy to mark and less effective than up front.

But the biggest question of all is, would yah?

Just by conicidence i've just had a call from an ex colleague from my last job to tell me amoungst other things, that our old boss has been promoted to National sales Manager for a another department with 40 people in it. She couldn't cope with manging a department of 6 when i was there FFS! The worst manager you can possibly imagine. No sales skills, no people skills, no management skills, couldn't forecast properly, constantly stressed and snappy and bullied a lot of decent people out of the company and replaced them with crap, in fact i cant think of anything she could do properly, even when she was an account manager had terrible sales figures. Classic example of someone being promoted and successful when they have zero ability whatsoever.

Great book, every time i think of it i have a horrendous image of Juice Terry pounding some bird saying "spice o life"

Are you in the armed forces jamie? I didn't realise.

My boss is great, i really really like my boss. Really good bloke, chilled out, (even in civillian terms) very approachable and has got the very best man management skills you can imagine. Really makes going to work so enjoyable.

That sounds permenant to me, wishing him good luck, he'll play at a higher level etc, not the sound of someone going back in a couple of months.

A lot of people were, an awful lot. I actually started a thread earlier in the season, after the P'boro home game i think, defending him because i was getting p*ssed off with him being made the scapegoat.

And everyone was saying he was sh*t a couple of months or so ago.

I think it's up to Lallana and Jonno Quick to have the Ice Man/Maverick Top Gun conversation as to who is whos wing man dont you?

It's what happens when you have a bird running the ticket office.

I agree, i've got a strong feeling jonno quick is going to be the new Micky Evans, without the side burns and of course quicker.

Indeed, apparantly that was the only reason i didn't get the job. As because of that his gut feel was i would be difficult to manage and wouldn't respond to his management style. He'd be right if you have to behave like a c*nt all day every day to make sure i know he's the boss.

IT Networking kit for a manufacturer.

ahh but is he jonno quick?

To motivate him for his big chance against MK Dons next week i think we should use the legendary Martine Mcutcheon for his inspiration and have this playing when he takes to the pitch, nobody says it better IMO.[video=youtube;jG16jv-itYw]

They said on Solent he was carried down the tunnel by the physio??

I recently f*cked up an interview for a great job because i f*cked up the question "how do you like to be managed?" My answer was along the lines of "i am self motivated so dont need much supervision, but if i have a problem or face a challenge then it's always good to have someone experienced and knowledgeable to rely on for advice" I didn't think there was much wrong with this, considering it was a senior sales job and i'd be out of the office 3 days a week but apparantly that was wrong and the Country Director thought i'd be difficult to manage. He said that i should have said something about being surrounded and managed by succesful and experienced people who will inspire me and drive me to greater heights and that i like to be set clear objectives and goals to continually improve my performance and be monitored on these etc. Fair comment i suppose but i think the bloke basically just wanted me to suck his c*ck, which i aint going to do for no one, whatever the job.
