If only there were some way to find out when Holty will be back playing... [:D]

[quote user="kdncfc"]The semi final defeat in 89 didn''t exactly endear them to me either.[/quote] How about them taking Mike Walker during our golden period?

Not seen the goal, but maybe Nelson is under instruction to try and retain possession. Maybe Lambert is looking for players to keep the ball from the opposition more, leading to more scope for attacks.

Ash, I''m all for it but my fiancee has family up here as do I so we''re tied to the North West - for now.

Or The Four In Hand...

Distance: 239.91 miles, about 4 hours 34 mins [:''(]

If anyone''s able to send me a PM with the weblink, I''d be hugely appreciative...[{]

Nope, shall be watching it on HD from the comfort of West Didsbury, sorry... [Y]

I''d be content with 4 or more points and happy with 6 or more from the first 3 games - Gillingham aside. I think we showed last season that even with a relatively dodgy start we''re a good side however, like Ips**t last season, getting the first win under the belt quickly can and is likely to be very important.

-1 from me too, keep posting...

Absolutely not, no.

I''ve a very strong feeling that Martin will be with us for some time. I think as long as he''s paid what he considers to be a decent amount that he''ll want to continue doing well for City. He''s a fan and a local lad, and I can only see him leaving if the Club wants to get shot of him.

Or here: Friendly games

Truth be told, I''d personally be willing to pay double that for a striker of his calibre, if that''s the sort of fee required to sign him...

PNE fan, you won''t get promoted with Russell in your side, as Clubs only seem to achieve promotion when he leaves them (Norwich the first time, and then Stoke).

CanaryTom: I''ve found you a tune to announce your arrival with - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18kdRYBSvhI

I''m interested, you know what to do...

Mister Chops: a slightly different opinion, which is neither more right nor wrong than your opinion... Michael Rose: Did what he needed to when Drury was unavailable, I believe we won more than we lost whilst Rose was playing, and I''m fairly sure he had a couple of assists too along the way. Stephen Elliott: Like Rose, contributed towards the squad''s momentum towards the Championship. Slightly less of an impact, but even a one-hit wonder has had a hit, so worthwhile having him for the short period of time we did. Incidentally, neither Elliott or Rose are here now, so clearly not considered upto Championship standard by Lambert which is fair enough, but they both contributed towards our ascendency to Championship status. Maybe with a decent pre-season behind them they''ll both go on to have success with their current/future clubs.

No good deed goes unpunished...

14,922 or 14,992 - I forget which...

I had a quick look to see whether Cody played, but he was neither in the first team nor listed as a substitute. Therefore, he must be off to Burnley as he would have played, surely..? ;)

Joined, although have auto-selected a team for now...

Big Slob: Thanks very much, much appreciated. It''s the first and almost certainly last fantasy football league that I''ve won, so I''m fairly pleased with how it went. John: For what it''s worth, you had me running scared for quite a while, and provided admirable opposition.

Me too, but I''ll join the league once the season starts, to keep ''Bludgeoned Hearts'' under wraps for now...

Boothroyd''s at Coventry now...
