  1. AP is clever about reducing the expectations of the fans - and removing the added ''must win'' pressure off the players shoulders. He's done it in a few games this season, Oldham away being an example i think... Top management IMO.
  2. That's a worry - he's made us tick in recent weeks.
  3. It's great that our most impressive players are right down the spine of the team though isn't it? if they all keep their levels of performances, we'll win almost every week IMO. Pard's has built this team on rock solid foundations, rather than just sand (like the last few years) - and it's beginning to show. I wouldn't be surprised to see us win 10 on the bounce eventually with this spine to the team.
  4. Go on - share! (or pm if you have to )
  5. That's a really really hard question, because all of his signings have improved us in some way. You could single lambo out, because of what he brings to the side (Goals/ assists etc) ...but for me, if i was to choose, it would be hammond. He's added a grit, determination and a leadership into the middle which has been lacking for years...and without that blend in the middle, lambo will not be as effective. i felt he's driven us in some games this year - and he's only been here a few months. top top player imo.
  6. I must admit, he has signed some utter utter dross. If you want a successful team you can't really run the transfer policy rafa has. His best buy, far and away, has been Torres. Where the hell would they have been in the last couple of years without him? I mean, liverpool are probably on par with aston villa/tottenham when Torres and Gerrard are out - that says alot for his ''squad'' additions. They are just not at the level, which is why they've lost 4 out of the last 4. He is starting to bug me a little bit, as he seems an extremely stubborn individual that just sticks with the same systems (zonal marking in particular) when it just isn't working with the group of players he has. He'll be gone by the end of the season IMO.
  7. Cracking game tonight... Real Madrid 2 - 3 AC Milan was 1-0 at HT..and the 2nd half exploded with milan winning it in the 89th min, wtf were the goalkeepers doing though, on most of the goals - great entertainment in the end...and no matter how many 100's of millions madrid spend, they still can't frigging well defend.
  8. Nice to see Hart still has the eye for talent. Cherno Samba (ex Millwall and Plymouth) has been handed a trial. they're obviously more skint than we can imagine, or hart doesn't have a clue. Probably a mixture of both...
  9. Well you can't say Gibson hasn't given him time he's was in his third full season and they've got shockingly worse as each season goes on (they haven't exactly pulled up any trees this year have they?) Southgate lacked something to be a top level manager IMO, i think he'd make a good assistant or coach though.
  10. Should be well over 20k for sat then - decent turn out. Hope the team deliver!
  11. He won't get yet. But it is always a worry when you have a successful team and you're in the third division. It's always hard to resist the overtures of higher division clubs. Let's just hope we get promoted quickly and can get back amongst the higher division clubs..
  12. I'm almost 100% sure, after listening to a piece on AFC Wimbledon a few weeks ago, that they hold the honors of the ''old'' Wimbledon. ''In October 2006, an agreement was reached between Milton Keynes Dons F.C., the MK Dons Supporters Association, the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association and the Football Supporters Federation. The replica of the FA Cup plus all club patrimony gathered under the name of Wimbledon F.C. would be returned to the London Borough of Merton. Ownership of trademarks and website domain names related to Wimbledon F.C. would also be transferred to the Borough. It was also agreed that any reference made to Milton Keynes Dons F.C. should refer only to events after 7 August 2004,''
  13. I don't think so. There were a couple of cracking rumours going round on deadline day. Simeon Jackson being seen alongside Jermaine beckford outside St Mary's was one of them...
  14. It'll be tough for Murts to get back in, although i still don't think James is 100% assured at RB... He does seem to get better with a run of games though, after slow iffy starts. (like the start of last season) If there is one thing he offers that not many others do...it's his crossing and corner's, which are pin point.
  15. We got one over them last time! (play off season) beat them 1-0 in the 86th min! keeping our playoff dream alive. I still don't think i'll ever be able to forget that 4-3 though, i felt sick for weeks. actually, even thinking about it now makes me sick...!
  16. Thats the key for me - that's what won them the game in the end, their mentality. That is something which still needs to be fully etched into us - but with the financial backing we have, i think we can be even stronger than leeds next season.
  17. I'm still cautious to say we have bottomed out - you know what this club is like, false dawn FC!!! ...give it a few more months and being completely clear of the relegation zone before i feel we've totally bottomed out.
  18. Wes Hoolahan was superb tonight, very much lallana-esque, in that he picks up pockets of space in and around Holt...and with his fleet footed-ness just creates space and opens up the game. Norwich played the better football tonight IMO - Leeds were effective on the break but struggled to pick up Hoolahan most of the evening. i reckon you could also get a bit of joy down the flanks against leeds...
  19. Looking at Leeds squad tonight, we've got a bit to go yet... Beckford, Vokes, Gradel (bench), Howson, Snodgrass, Bechio, Bromby....Doyle...not half bad, i must say. Hopefully ours can be on par with that from jan onwards.
  20. Good result for us tonight (Leeds 2 - 1 Norwich), keeps the playoff places well within reach
  21. Max Gradel has just come on for leeds too - he's been awesome

    Leyton Orient

    their ticket system has been down most of the afternoon can't book at the ticket office, over the phone, or online.... great!
  23. Sounds to me like they want to try and do a perm. would be a shame, i rate oscar...
  24. Stuck with Kelvin so far i think, although he probably will at some point (maybe next season) go with an on-field captain. Should easily be Hammond, no contest based on his showings so far.
  25. Not old enough to remember him..!
