Spot on. I could understand someone like Friedal but Green and Robbo are no better than what we have and Sorenson's been shaky the past couple of years.

Right, dog needed a walk I needed a pint, so popped into local that allows dogs. Complete dive, but newspapers to read. Spotting mail/fail/hail read lttlejohns article. Rather than being nutty I found it pretty much spot on, certainly more entertaining than one of toynbees efforts. Pretty much agreed with most of it. Why was dawn raid on 82 year old Stewart halls gaff, he's hardly likely to go on the run. Why was latest suspect arrested at airport, then a day later released on bail till march, if within one day you're bailed for 3 months isn't airport arrest a bit Ott.why police pics of house search and removing evidence, the allegation was 40 years old and he's moved dozens of times since,what evidence are they hoping to find? And finally the point that if you report a burglary from yesterday, plod aren't interested and can't don't have the man power, report a celeb from 40 years ago and its like the Sweeny. Littlejohn summised that maybe plod, having ****rd up over Saville are putting on a show. Also said something suspicious is going on here,something that was alluded to earlier in this thread. He did say that time should be no bar to charges, but how can you prove beyond reasonable doubt in a he said she said sex case from 40 years ago. The article got me thinking, next time a toe rag breaks into my shed, instead of just taking a crime number, I'm going to tell them it was damaged 40 years ago by cher who after giving me a blow job against my will rode off on my bike. Maybe that way they'll do their job properly.

It really all depends how the nutter works out. It makes no sense to me to have gazza and butland,but gazza ain't ready.personally I'd loan gazza out this season and maybe next to a champ side, and fill the gap with an old pro on a 2 year deal. Clearly not skd, but maybe the nutter will come good. Would only get butland if it's a steal and we screw brum over.

Forum rules, anyone quoting or buying the Dail Mail/Fail/hail is considered a nutter. Littlejohn is the worst type of nutter, so to use his name could get you certified.

Lefties getting their knickers in a twist alert.............

Seems like some have arrived pretty quick and some not yet, I have absolutely no faith in them coming, which is a ficking joke in this day and age.

Has anyone received their tickets via post yet? I am expecting another major balls up from the wonderful ticket office

I don't know why people get their knickers in a twist over playing "my clubs bigger than your club". As for attracting players 99% of the time it'll be down to the agent to push the player to accept the "best" deal. There's absolutely no doubt which of the two clubs agents will be recommending, throw into the mix Mr Redknapp, who like it or not players want to play for, a west London location to keep the mrs happy, and its probably true they'll be more attractive than us to the vast majority of players.

They seem two decent young men. Can you really blame either for leaving, because I can't given where we were and what was on offer. Thought it was great to clap them but singing was cringeworthy ( as was singing French jimmy savillie-pathetic)

Davis was fantastic worked his socks off and played some neat stuff. The whole back 4 did well, although we missed clynes overlaps. Really pleased for Nigel as there were a few near me moaning about his substitutions but I think be got them spot on. Legs up top and strengthened the middle of the park. Arsenal were on a roll and had knocked a few in lately, so would have taken a point at start. Keepers obviously still an issue, but I'd stick with the nutter.

it would be a pretty boring forum if we just agreed with all the managers teams,tactics and signings

Neville southall was a pretty decent keeper but nobody could ever accuse him of being a finely tuned athlete. Get the pole in nets or get a loan in during the window, there's plenty of keepers sitting on premiership benches better than Kelvin or Gaza

I think TCWTB should go on Dragon's Den, even those hard nosed business people seem to buy into the Bestest fans myth. Theo Paphitis ‏@TheoPaphitis "Back home from watching #Pompey with some old friends great to catch up Crap first half better Second half Unbelievable passionate fans !"

Sorry forgot to add, does anyone know if there is a DVD of our promotion year out. There is nothing on the online shop

Forest away without Rickie was a good one. Millwall, and Watford were personal favourites as a good drink up and 3 points both times. However my fav moment was leaving London road and receiving a text saying that west ham had messed up at Bristol City, that was the moment for me. We could lose at Middlesbrough and would still go up. 2012 will always be a special year football wise for me, maybe even the best. Other years brought more sucsess but it was unexpected and my nipper came to most away games with me. He could only remember us from burley onwards, so watching him loving every minute of it will live with me forever

I wish people would stop with this 10 men nonsense, it's not as if it was Arsenal or man c or even Wigan who pass the ball around for fun and therefore would miss the 11th player and not be as effective. Having 10 men only really affects Stoke when they're using every man to close out a game. They aren't going to miss a central midfielder when chasing the game as they bypass the midfield and hoof it to the 4 up front. Only having 10 makes very little difference when they're playing **** or bust football. Just take the point and move on.

Every single team in the league would take a point at Stoke, even your Man Utd's, Man City's and Chelsea's. People need to get a grip. Guly missed an easy one, so did Jones. Obvious peno and also very harsh sending off, great strike for the 3rd. Villa, Reading and Wigan still have to go to Stoke, all 3 will take a point. It was a point gained, end of.

I am not one for normally posting inside info, because I never really have any. However in this case a member of my family knows a member of his family , my family member was told mid Feb. I can't post any more because it involves someones job, but I believe them.

I'm just hoping it's 5th time lucky with the posting. I've been to 4 away games and so far I've had 2 envelopes open, one to wrong address and one didn't make it at all, had to tickets up at away office before game. I'm sure it's pretty simple to post something in this day and age, but they seem to struggle

My opinion is that Lowe did the bare minimum that we could have expected from the floating of the club, certainly a lot less than someone with money could have done. I look back on the whole reverse takeover as a wasted opportunity, had the right person come in we really could have seen a real take off of the club. As it was the only good thing about Lowe was he didn't screw up ala Risdale or Storrie , but just think what a Marcus or NC would have done.

Nonsense, Puncheon produced a couple of nutmegs in the very same game yesterday and the shot was hardly in the Le Tiss class. It should have been a comfortable save but the keeper made a pigs ear out of it. Personally I think Lallana, Puncheon, and Lambert could have done it, and Guly has been known to produce the occasional nutmeg. I keep hearing he's absolute class, but from what I've seen he's been very average and if we hadn't paid so much money for him would have had a spell warming his arse on the bench by now.

Wonderful internet system has screwed up again, 9.20am and cant buy tickets. Spoke to club and the IT department are working on a fix.............

Will the sacking of OD make Billy a better player? Does anyone seriously think there's any Premiership club interested in signing Billy Sharp.Personally I thought he struggled last season, and he's hardly set the Championship alight this season. Why is there an obsession with old players returning on here.

He's played 20 league games and scored the grand total of 6 goals. If anybodt really believes he is the answer then I do wonder what planet they're on. ****hing hell even David Nugent's got nearly double that. There is not one Premiership side that would be looking at signing Billy Sharp, not even Reading.
