  1. Hey Derry dont let it wind you up. BH is a missed opportunity, it is not the player coming in fault.Give him a chance if he signs and let the resentment fade.
  2. to be fair the blokes waited for him outside and he gave one of them a hiding. Perhaps warrented
  3. only 1 ???? and lock the thread IMO
  4. Thanks for that FF. i do know it made its mark on my dad as he mentioned it a few times. I suspect it carries the same scars as Highbury 84 does for me, and a later generation the feeling at Pride park a few years back
  5. what a non surprise, hope the parcel has TNT in it
  6. we have to accept it, annoying as it is otherwise we will sound like the bloody Bompey fans who are still whining about non penalty decisions from both games lol
  7. i was all for it , but there seems to me a genuine reticence to get anyone in. I truly believe if ML was alive he would have spent in Jan to make sure his 5 year plan was still on track. I know we are in the minority but that does not mean we are wrong. If we fail this season ,all those who are complacent will moan when all the best players leave
  8. i wasnt necessarily thinking of RL although that would be a disaster. I have been banging on about getting a couple of players in to strengthen the side in both the forward and midfield areas. We dont know the extent of AL or Ox's injuries but with the side lacking something extra in CM and add to the chance of losing one of our starlets it is essential to get a player/players in by deadline day. We have no other chance ofter then
  9. thats right, my father used to give the chant. Brought back memories of my father, thanks OSM
  10. it is just me, i want to have all the odds stacked in our favour.
  11. Lol, I dont see any evidence of being sent off,it is a figment of your imagination, but the camera caught you looking like a rabbit in the headlights as you didn't know where to stand! it reminded me of the gawky kid at school who only played with his trainset and had no idea what the rules of football were
  12. I think you can add the case that at the time Mullery was playing billy big boots and having a pop at us. i also recall their winger O'sullivan? keep chipping at us. it hardly made us feel warm to them. We did hit the post with Funnels shot. if we had won I think it would have been bedlam as Spurs fans were really fired, remember all the temporary fence ripped up?
  13. My father used to tell me about his hero Charlie Wayman who was our top player in the 50's? We were heading for promotion and were well clear only for Wayman to get injured. i think we didnt win another game and missed out on promotion. I only hope the clubs reticence to strengthen the squad does not come back and haunt us. Of course we may sign a couple today but I believe our arrogance that we will make second will do us harm
  14. i believe is that they play decent football and have the players with guile to win games
  15. I didnt go and so can't comment on the game as such. My observations are that Peterboro play good football and can score from all over the pitch, and that makes them dangerous to our hopes. We seem unable to score from open play and so cant get the 2nd goal in games like last night to kill a team. A point away is OK and Charlton however bad form they are in were likely to raise their game.I have called for us to sign some players in the eventuality of injuries suspensions and just to freshen up the squad. Many treated that with scorn, once the loan transfer window closes and the worse happens what then? How did Forte play?
  16. they are close to the play-offs and you just know they are going to ruin the party. If BC had spent a bit in the window they could well have made an easy run to the PL.
  17. I agree and felt the same when fans were singing the swing Lowe songs. They divided and helped heap on the pressure to the team.

    he wont be coming to us now after that
  19. you have to say he has got some confidence to go to games like that. You know it is Dubai Phil i assume and you are just jesting. The glasses are the ones that he was given by Dennis Taylor as a thank-you for helping him during the Dubai snooker tournament. The helmet was given to him by Bob the builder after DP assisted him around the Ideal Homes exhibition in Dubai. The horns were received from Tiger Woods wife after she had removed them from Tigers car using her golf club, they were then presented to DP for his help in reversing the car from a tree
  20. i know the man and wife in the middle of the picture standing, very nice folks as well.
  21. that's not Mandaric
  22. if they had scored i think you may have no fingernails left today. We were unconvincing first half and the game was in the balance. Not that i think Wed were very good but they created a few half chances and if one had been taken!! once we scored it did seem less of a threat
  23. they did, they had a few corners that they won some headers that thankfully were not on target, a decent shot that went wide and KD had to sweep up a through ball, we created less first half IMO
  24. I felt we looked fairly lethargic first half and not for KD's race out of the box to clear we may have gone 1 down. IMO they looked the likeliest to score first half. RL skill bringing the ball under control from the high ball was superb, reminded me of a great former player. Once again we needed a set piece to break the dead lock, that is a bit of a concern but i will take it. We played some better stuffafter we scored and i felt unusually calm for the last part of the match as we did look quite comfortable. No Wednesday player stood out, usually the opposition have a player who shines not saturday

    you stay in your world DD where AL could play in centre midfield. You are happy with what we have got and I hope you have got it right. Only time will tell
