He's almost fit The left jab is OK, but the right hook is still a bit sluggish

..... along with Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb :p (You heard it here first)

Cortese likes everything secret until the deed is done, so, looks like the deed is UN-done

The only way they will "pass straight through" anything is if they have Diarrhoe'a

The players think they are better than they are They THINK they should win every match, without giving the 100% effort necessary to do so They THINK they are better than Division Three, without giving the 100% effort to actually get out of it They are always one Dream away from REALITY and it's about time someone read the riot act to them and explain, quite simply that the ONLY way to get Promotion is to think of the PRESENT, not to Dream of the future

Point taken But also a bit pointless in saying it, giving the inference to some that we we are not a selling club Serious question though, How Realistic is it for Major Premiership Teams, who normally spent Megabucks on Foreign "imports", to go for a player in the Third Division ????

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Still believe in Father Christmas I see ???? Cortese has yet to learn one simple fact If a PLAYER wants to go, he WILL go

Pardew was surprised too

Only via the FL show Some that he has let in this season, Davis would have stopped IMHO

Davis stops quite a few, then has an almighty Kokup Murphy wouldn't get near some of the ones Davis keeps out IMHO

If he is then kiss goodbye to Promotion I'm none too keen on Davis, but Murphy is nowhere near as good IMHO

That is why he is popular no doubt

Quite simple really Both his nuts have fallen off

BUT they score MORE GOALS

Me neither An attack with no teeth, an over the hill CB, and an "error" prone keeper I'm disappointed already Can't wait for the Sc&nthorpe reinforcements to arrive Oh joy

Puncheon hasn't wanted to play for us for ages, and won't be back, put your mortgage on it

Sums it up perfectly, we have a Good Squad, but an unbalanced one. NOT ENOUGH STRIKE POWER

I'd be very surprised if he DIDN'T make an offer for Lallana ...... and even more surprised if Lallana DIDN'T go MONEY still talks, Loyalty ended with Le Tiss

On the basis that Cortese is never wrong, he will never get rid of Reed, although I think he is a massive disruptive force I do believe however that Ashley sounded out Pardew long ago, and but for the fact that Houghton got Newcastle Promoted, he would have gone there months ago For me though, the most worrying thing is the lack of Team strengthening It IS painfully obvious to most that we ARE very thin on the ground in some areas, mainly attack, yet nothing of note has been forthcoming Guly flatters to deceive and is NOT the answer, but, as he is a Cortese man, will no doubt retain his place for the duration Adkins reckons he will get some players in January I don't think Cortese will allow that

As opposed to Adkins, who (IMHO) clearly hinted that more than one player would be brought in If Cortese thinks we can run with what we have got, then he is grossly mistaken We currently do NOT have a Squad to get us automatic Promotion, and the play offs are a lottery

It would not have mattered whether we had Plans A to Z, the stark reality to me is that we DON'T have a SQuad to get us up, no matter what others on here say Our "atack" had no teeth, and Davis was absolute KRAP today We are now reaping the (non) benefit of NOT strengthening either at the satrt of the season or during the loan period I also think that, despite Cortese's words, we WILL see the exit of Lallana, Schneiderlin, and Maybe Oxo in January, compensated for by the Massive signings of Stars of Scu-nthorpe Yesterday was woeful IMHO, made worse (for me) when Newcastle won

Yes They were complete and utter " Drains On The Rations ", and well shot of by Mr Cortese IMHO

Agreed We are a "proven" Team in the Prem We have double the gates of Blackpool, plus more "resources" I think Once we do get there, we CAN stay there, wheras if Blackpool do stay up this season, that will be a MASSIVE achievement by them A bit like Saints when at the Dell, being forced to manage on 15300 per home gate

Different Season It's a much tighter League this time
