Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB

A little homage to Teemu Pukki at the end of the show, if you have not seen it have a look on iplayer, prefer our song to the Schalke one.........

I think they will be hard to beat, particularly at their place, not sure we should be saying we will be smashing anybody two games in........

Liverpool did not spend much this season either - Adrian on a free a 16 year old from Fulham and a 17 year old from Holland for an initial fee of £1.3M.....

I did not take the test as I know that I am no more deserving than anybody else.......

Very sad news, I have never met David but I do recognise him, my heart goes out to his family and friends.......

Ralph Coates was playing for the England League XI in the game referred to above........

Yes I think it was a midweek game, looking at the link you provided the game was actually the day before my 8th birthday so maybe an early birthday present.........

My only concern about the system employed by NCFC is the thoroughness of the checks when selling memberships and ensuring that tickets sold do not end up being touted, sold to the likes of Stubhub........

Thats for that Nutty, quite a few well known names in the England eleven, not sure I have heard of any of the Irish eleven. I was nearly 8 years old when my Dad took me to that game, he carried me on his shoulders when we walked home after the game and i vividly remember being gobsmacked at all the people as we walked up Carrow Road.......

That was my first game at Carrow Rd as well, I seem to remember that Jeff Astle played and scored, I also remember Ian Storey-Moore and Peter Shilton played for the League of England. My first home game was a 2-2 draw with Bristol City in 1972......

Apparently the pundits thought we were "naive" for conceding 4 against an excellent Liverpool side and European champions away at Anfield - West Ham get smashed 5-0 at home to an excellent Man City side and no mention of "naive" and lets not forget that Barcelona lost 4-0 at Anfield..........double standards or what..........

I suppose I am somewhere between stats and the uncertain nature of football, if football is just about stats it begs the question why lots of people do not win the football pools jackpot every week. Maybe we should refer to stats as expectation and the uncertain nature of football as hope, my expectation last night was that we would lose 3-1, that said there was a part of me that hoped (given the uncertain nature of football - we would not have FA Cup giant killers if it is not so) with a fair wind and a bit of luck we might have got a point, that hope went out of the window when Grant Hanley unfortunately scored an early own goal (No stat in the world could have predicted that the ball would slice off his boot and find just about the only spot that Krul could not get to)........

Careful Bethnal, we will have none of this kind of sensible posting on this forum......

It may be a loan rather than a purchase, I only say that after reading the Lorient Presidents comment in respect of the future of Claude-Maurice, in it he suggest that they have been talking to a couple of clubs and one of those clubs is looking at a loan rather than a purchase......

I thought I read somewhere that Lorient were asking £18M for him, so unless they have dropped their price significantly it must be a loan offer......
