  1. " It was clearly a red card tackle and the FA have added insult to injury by refusing to give out the appropriate three match suspension retrospectively. Who is suprised that refs can get away with being incompetent with leadership like that?"

    The FA and referees shouldn''t feel threatened by a retrospective overruling of decisons (or non decisions) like this. If fact it would lead to much greater respect, as to err is human, but to ignore plain evidence is pure hubris... which leads directly to the very disrecpect they claim they want to eradicate.

  2. Or losing a key member of a paper thin squad - e.g. Gunn in ''94 and in previous years it seems like we sold our main striker.

    This year we lost Ruddy mid-season and more recenty Tetty, anyone think that we have not been affected by those players not being available - even though Bunn has played pretty well it must be admitted...

  3. " I''m sure you agree with this statement - "Stoke and West Ham play a more similar brand of football than Stoke and Swansea".

    Now, have a think about what thought processes lead you to determine that statement was true, and then explain them without resorting to any numeric based analysis. "

    Nice try, but no cigar. You asked the question and you got an answer: or are you aiming to be one of those modern "TV interviewers" who instead of asking a question and responding to the answer, insists on driving their point of view down everyone elses throat?

    Do we play long ball yes, we do. Do we play short passing too, yes we do.

    Do we play like Stoke, no. Play like West Ham, yes. Play like Swansea no...


  4. "So you expect the bottom 3 to almost double their tally from the first 28 games and get 40 points?"

    No, but the bottom three teams don''t have to overtake us, just one of the bottom three plus the teams betwen us and them.

    Newcastle are now above us after a last minute win, Sunderland will be above us if they beat us next week. We play Wigan away next...

    I accept that it''s not likely, but if it did happen, the question remains; would you give him more time?

  5. " Holt has got a nice contract here now so you''d have to wonder who would be prepared to give him the same money again to a player who is soon to 32"

    Although his money could be the same, the amount releative to income would drop for PL teams next year, so I could see him moving to Sunderland, or even a promoted team like Cardiff or Hull.

  6. Milk Cup semi final 1973 v Chelsea, River End: almost 35,000 in the ground.. we were winning 2-0 at halftime, fog billows in - cant see a thing - match abandoned... darn cold it was too....

    fortunately we won the rematch.

    And relegation battle 1973 v Crystal Palace, South Stand almost 37,000 in the ground.. Early penalty but Sugget and Stringer score... place goes completely bonkers.. couldn''t see a darm thing, just carried on a himan wave back / forward / back again. Fantastic.

    and we also stayed up, Palace went down.

  7. Next year the Championship could be very tough, and we did great to get out of it at the first attempt. MIddlesborough, Hull and Portsmouth are improving, Leicester and Burnley have cash, good managers and decent squads, and I also fancy Southampton, Derby, Leeds and Forest to be up there.

    Whoever comes down from the Premier may sink without trace, although Wet Sham may be O.K.

    QPR and / or Cardiff if they don''t get promoted will implode, but I suspect both Welsh clubs will follow us up...

    Will enjoy looking at this from one league above :-)
