  1. Oooops...
  2. Never mind the ball, take his legs !
  3. handball !!!
  4. But you know how badly we play against 10 men.
  5. They are saying that both sides have been playing good football, but at times we are just blowing them away.
  6. Quote from Radio Lanky "Southampton have been superb at times".
  7. He's just made a clearing header
  8. Stop doing what you're doing and listen to the footie instead
  9. Watford winning at Blackpool
  10. (Preston) makes a substitution, with Richard Chaplow coming on for Barry Nicholson. Chris Brown joins the action as a substitute, replacing Chris Sedgwick. (Preston) makes a substitution, with Youl Mawene coming on for Andrew Davies.
  11. Preston make 3 changes.
  12. Wotte's biggest problem, as compared to Pearson, is that he is not viewed, rightly or wrongly, as a 'new' manager - being tainted with the disaster that was Poortvliet's tenure. Therefore, as he has not been given a clean slate, his performance, both on and off the pitch, is going to be far more closely analysed and he will be given far less leniency. Lets all hope that we can maintain the level of performance from the first half, and then carry it on to the next few matches.
  13. That won't stop you
  14. 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0
  15. Saga!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. But it is on Radio Lancashire
  17. But you are also guilty of 'spin', but then again reasoned debate doesn't hurt. And as regards changing 'facts', Copernicus, Gallileo, and Christopher Columbus are among many through history who have managed to do just that, so don't nail your flag too firmly to any particular mast.
  18. The 52 scientists are credited as the 'Core Writing Team', drawn from the hundreds of environmental, climatological, biological, and geological scientists who are members of the IPCC worldwide. Glad to be of help
  19. The only good reason to visit Bury is to go to the market and buy a hot black pudding for lunch, to be eaten with picalilli or mustard
  20. Just done a bit of digging, comparing our current position with our two greatest Premier League 'escapes'. At the same point in the calendar in 1996/97 we were in 19th place, played 23 and 20 points. We were 3 points behind safety, but with a better goal difference and 2 games in hand. we finished 1 point and 2 places above the drop zone, played 38, points 41. In 1998/99 we were also in 19th place, played 24 with 20 points, 4 points from safety and 11 worse off on goal difference. We finished 5 points clear, played 38, points 41. Why do I, and so many others, simply not have any faith in the current squad emulating these outcomes ?
  21. One word, McGoldrick. Or another word, Saganowski. And after that, pick any one from the rest of the team. It doesn't matter one hoot whether we 'deserved' to get something from this game; in this one as in any number of previous games we failed to score. You get nothing for hitting the post, you get nothing for hitting the bar, and over an entire season you get the 'luck' you deserve - which in our case is none ! The "financial necessity" smokescreen that justified loaning out all of our experienced strikers condemned us from day one, and I cannot see any escape right now.
  22. Davis will leave, and Saejis is only here next season IF we stay up.
  23. English is a living, evolving language; the language of Chaucer grew into that of Shakespeare, which itself had perhaps 20% of the words and phrases commonly in use today, and the grammar and accepted spelling keep pace; after all, 'meh' made it into the Collins Dictionary at the end of last year. It all depends on what the individual defines as 'correct' English, ( and we can start by discounting all the American corruptions such as 'color' and 'lite' ).
  24. My dear boy, please take note :- Oxford English Dictionary : lay into ( informal ) attack violently. Chambers Dictionary : lay into someone ( colloq ) to attack or scold them severely. Cambridge Dictionary : lay into ( sb ) phrasal verb INFORMAL to attack someone physically or to criticise them in an angry way: {m:- In the middle of the meeting she suddenly laid into him for no apparent reason. } TTFN
  25. Whilst I understand the sentiment concerning the "12th man effect" of a partisan crowd, the reality is that this squad with this manager ( merely a continuation of the last one ), lack the strength, both mental and physical, experience, and nous to dig us out of the mess they have put us in. Every bl00dy week, one or other of them comes on the OS and bleats out the latest version of the rallying call, and every match it shows itself up to be yet another damp squib. This failed experiment couldn't change track even if there were 32000 shouting themselves hoarse at every home game, the squad is wrong, the team selection is wrong, the tactics are wrong, and any form of "leadership" is completely absent. The loanees couldn't care less as they simply go back to their clubs, those players soon to be out of contract will just plan to leave at the end of the season, and those that think they are too good to go down will slap in transfer requests. It's only the fans that will have to endure League 1. All the same, every kick-off will fuel the expectation, and 90 minutes later we can only hope that something, for once, will have gone our way. Still enough points, have the players got the balls ?
