We have been missing chances, f'sure, but you can't assume we will continue to miss them. We are creating loads and are tight at the back; it's up to our players to take the chances when they come. It's not as though we don't have goalscorers.

So why did Guly only just make his first start then? Stop being a mentalist.

Apologies, I see you've already covered this!

See above.

I've no idea why he was sacked but if you have an employee on several hundred thousand a year you try to come to a settlement regardless in order to stop costly proceedings from taking place and in order to keep matters behind closed doors and avoid a public airing of your dirty washing.

at ludicrous Andy and his skate chums. The whole thing is just ridiculous. If £40k is the weekly liability of Kitson and Lawrence then that's an annual liability of just under £2.1m. Their turnover from normal operations (excluding ear-marked parachute payments and assuming no mega player sales in January) will probably be something in the region of £10-14m this year, I reckon. So those two players, at a stroke, account for somewhere between 15-20% of their entire available cash flow. Absolutely ridiculous, crazy, remarkable, for a company in administration to take on liabilities like that.

Eh up, me ducks, got four today. Will be staying over as well. Need to get hotel sorted...

It will be an unknown Dutch bloke. We have no money and as everyone knows, if a company's shareholder dies you get stuck in an intractible probate web and business grinds to a halt for months, nay years, on end. Mind you, NC could end all this with one call and it would be amzing, a revelation, BUT PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST.

Huddersfield concede on average over a goal a game at home this season. There is no reason why we shouldn't go there expecting to score at least two. Our defence has been very solid of late. For that reason I would not make any changes (except perhaps in relation to the central midfield dilemma of DH/MS/RC). If we play well, we will win.

He is pretty fast. Motored past players at Bristol Rovers.

FFS we're loaded. It wasn't an either/or scenario.

It's not odd at all. He is a good player with loads of potential and was cheap.

Yes, he was very good in that second half. He isn't the finished article as a LB yet but he's young and it's clear to see he has talent and good physical attributes. Good player to have in the squad and will get a chance again at some point.

Yeah, left leaning parties and folk would never do that. They certainly wouldn't employ legions of spin doctors to brief against people and discredit them. Never.

Just saw the "highlights" on the Beeb. Ed does come across as a bit of a gormo. Reminds me of when a geek at school would get angry and blurt something out then immediately look sheepish and nervous.

Indeed. It is a symptom of unconscious latent racism IMO. Wouldn't say the same thing about a white guy from South America who had spent recent times in Italy.

This simply isn't true. In fact he consistently plays the sort of forward balls, round the corner, creating openings that Schneiderlin doesn't play enough. Instead Schneiderlin will often attempt the 60 yard cross-fielder to ill-effect. Don't get me wrong, MS is a good player and we are lucky to have him in L1, but Hammond's passing is much better than a lot of people realise. As to who starts on Saturday... dunno!

Basically, anyone who would have taken the money is a classless oik destined for a life of idiocy.

And since you mentioned public schools... If there's one single move in recent decades that coupled academic elitism with financial muscle, it's Labours abolition of the Assisted Places scheme which allowed the brightest children from humble backgrounds to flourish and achieve their potential.

For games. Not "off".

Phil, just because you study philosophy, for example, it does not follow that you aspire to be a philosopher when you leave university. I think you will find that many lawyers did history, english, philosophy etc first degrees and honed skills doing them that are in demand in the legal world. Many kids, frankly, won't really know what they want to do in the "real world" when they are 18. Not sure if you mentioned the golf or not. I suspect you probably did somewhere. I can assure you that no one gives a toss but, if it makes you feel better, well done.

I agree. However the key is the "furthering" bit. Unfortunately most people at university are not intellectually elite any more.

Corp is clearly a prize **** in real life. I have never seen anything in any of his posts to suggest he isn't a smug, conceited ****lehead who virtually everyone who knows him despises. Not even a glimmer. Yet he continues to play the smug card, clearly oblivious to what a complete and utter **** the world at large thinks he is. How very sad.

TBF, the UCAS form is only the "foot in the door" for the degrees in the highest demand. Most of them will also require an interview and some sort of additional work-based test.
