I fear this will rumble on until the weekend , then go quiet over the bank holiday. Sod's law he'll join some other bastards next week.

Keegan era, outstanding.

Just unsaintly !

They sound equally bad - hope its neither.

Would prefer Phillips from Blackpool but Ince certainly showed potential at the end of the season.

Can't see that aiding his football development , and would certainly set back any hope of learning English by spending three months in t' Bahnsley

May as well disband the Euro's now then and just hand the trophy to Sweden. Bet the Russian grannies probably take a better penalty than the first three for Huddersfield as well.

Is it not time for the Orkney's to seek independance from Scotland ?

Agree, detest them..1984 and all that. But really want to beat manc U,spurs & 'Arry,Liverpool etc as much.

Clearly NA willbe judged by Cortese on results after we get going in the premiership.Don't think anyone would expect otherwise. Personally, I think Adkins is the best potential up and coming English manager, but that could be shown to be false hope in the 'big league' , perhaps he'll prove to be another Warnock in that he's great for promotion but not quite able to keep teams there. There may be some personal history from Switzerland between NC and Di Matteo , and RDM's stock is high after the Champ League, but I don't quite see his record as that great : MK Dons - got to play offs, beaten by Sc^nthorpe who were managed by ... WBA - a resounding success, got promoted to the prem as runners up (sounds familiar) having never really challenged for the title the whole season Sacked at WBA - too inexperienced ? Chelsea - inherited probably the most expensive squad in the Prem, and turned their season around by allowing the old guard to take centre stage, so no inspired signings made by Di Matteo in building anything there.

Bloody good idea that , pre-book a half-time beer before the match and incur a £3 booking fee.

Dolly Parton - D.i.v.o.r.c.e

Only if reversed , ie white central stripe as per the Keegan era kit. Otherwise , no.

Most of us probably missed the loss of a porn star you idolised when younger. Deepest condolences.

First name that sprung to my mind. With the exception of Peter Bonnetti most names are relatively recent. I can't believe England did not try some real dross out in the late 1960's/70's when we had the Home Internationals to field a team in.

I think that was one of the names that stood out, an U21 keeper, loaned out by his club (PSV ?), possibly surplus to requirements there ?

I don't doubt that Barnard is likely to move on. But I just think Hooper & Sharp are possibly too similar, and unlikely to compliment each other's style to play together. May of course be totally wrong on that, but thats my perception.On top of which I can't see either Sharp or a £7m Hooper being happy on the bench to be impact players.

I said during the promotion run in, that my hunch was that we would go back for Hooper, as he appeared our priority in January, and if this happens then I think Sharp might move on. Hope this is not the case as Sharp contributed to the promotion and I'd like to see him succeed at the top level.

B0ll0cks ! No way will we spend that on a single player this summer, certainly not on Hooper.

I'm staggered that it has taken 32 pages and over 1500 posts before this name appears. Can we get Carsten Jancker, Oliver Bierhoff, and Javier De Pedro out of the way as well, whilst we're at it ?

Agreed.

A couple of Dutch GK's were mentioned on a thread the other week after NA & a scout were thought to have returned from Netherlands.

So a minimum of ten non-3pm Saturday kick offs then .

Vaz Te ... what a tosser : Our run ... best part of 46 games Reading won 16 out of 18 was it ? Yeh, we both just got lucky.

I think you get the drift on reading the rest of the post.
