Agreed. Hopefully Donny will put in an offer.

Unless that's their actual faces, then it'd be preeettttyyy easy.

Not sure how many more we're likely to get for Charlton? It says that we had only sold 2,500 2 days before the Torquay game, but that game wasn't on sky!

I sit in block 42 and go to every away game and I love the banter between fans during the game, it's always a good laugh and harmless when in the stadium. The problem with these people is they seem unable to seperate this banter within football grounds from squaring up to a bloke in the street. In my opinion banter and shouting 'abuse' at the opposition fans within the stadium is fine in itself, it doesn't hurt anyone. It's just these mindless idiots who continue it when they get out of the ground.

The only reason they agreed to waive their claim to Wimbledon FC's history and trophies etc is because the MK Dons Supporters Association were refused entry to the Football Supporters Federation until they did so. Until this was forced upon them, Winkleman basically tried to claim this history just with a name, kit and badge that he'd chosen himself. I'm all for success for smaller clubs, and it's not a problem with Milton Keynes having a succesful team, just the fact that they (or at least their chairman) practically stole the team from another town.

Not a chance in hell.

Yeah, I like the bit about their centrebacks maybe struggling, hopefully we can really test them.

Funny that they think 1,000 away fans is a lot, considering we're probably taking 3,100 next week.

It seems to me that Pardew has basically worked out his system and told everyone exactly what their duty in the game is, which the players are doing brilliantly. Both Wotton and AP know that he isn't the best passer or dribbler of the ball but he's a gritty, strong midfielder ideal for playing just in front of the back four. In my opinion Wotton has shown not only brilliant ability to fit perfectly into a system but a great professionalism to cast all doubts about him aside and win back the fans.

Shame about their use of tenses.

Yeah I think it applies to Northam despite the fact that it's still open, not really sure why, guess it just saves the club some extra hassle.

Bargain.

0-1

That's a point actually and furthermore, in some league one grounds, sitting in the stand is surely not much further away than being in the dugout. Do the match officials have the power to stop the manager shouting from the stand? i doubt it.

I wander if he waits until he gets out the tunnel to put on the top half of his suit or tracksuit on like he used to do with his shirt?!

Just read that Paul Ince has a touchline ban for 2 games, which will include the game against us at St Mary's. Got me thinking, do you think these bans have much of an effect on the team during the game? i.e how much influence can/does the manager have from the touchline?

I was quite impressed with Derby the last couple of seasons, not only do they fill their stadiums but they are quite loud.

Ha yeah that's me. I think there was a few people spread out along the back who kept it going well, only problem is once i'd started i felt an obligation to keep the song going. Ended up stopping the constant banging and just doing it between singing to save my hands!

Well since that's me stood right next to the video taker and banging the backboard maybe I should move back a few rows in the northam and take charge of drumming duties! I still have a blister on my hand from all that banging!

I was amazed the first time I saw the documentary about Danny Da Vito and Arnold Swarchenegger being twins.

LOL

I think that most of the songs that get everyone joining in involve banging on the backboards, but it would definitely help if someone who could keep a steady tempo took control.

I think yesterdays line up and formation worked pretty well. The only two changes I'd make is Morgan for Wotton and Thomas for James.

Have to agree with most of that really, although i think 9 is a bit generous for Papa. Mellis really impressed today and lallana was excellent in the free role.
