  1. MOTD is never on iPlayer so you''ll be waiting a while longer for that one I''m afraid!
  2. Voted for Grant Holt. Also could have voted for Korey Smith, Gary Doherty or Fraser Forster. The Horse gets my vote though, 28 goals in 40 appearances. Superb.  
  3. Thanks for the info CUSDP. Much appreciated as always.
  4. Why is everyone so concerned with how their post count is looking? If you ask me anything over 500 and you''re compensating for something else. Oh hang on a minute.......
  5. Norwich City 1-3 Leeds United Pessimistic I know but I''ve got a feeling that we''ll experience a bit of a Leeds backlash here and they seem to have the luck when they play us. I hope to goodness im wrong but unfortunately all I can see is Leeds keeping their title challenge alive and us suffering our first significant set-back.  
  6. I think he has a tattoo of his wife''s name on there. Well it''s either his wife or Morty, one of the two anyway.
  7. And this is why females should stick to netball forums. It just degenerates into an episode of Loose Women if not.
  8. [quote user="Canary_on_the Trent"][quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"][quote user="Good Touch For A Big Man"] Doherty is the more intriguing one for me. Has been outstanding this season. But has he found his level? [/quote]   Interesting;  Rusty was also shocking last season but is also integral to Lambert.  Both were really too expensive and Lambert wanted both out,  yet over the summer and since there was v limited interest in either. Yet one is a must sign up and the other a let him go? Both aare solid champs squad players - I would happily buy better to have as starting players but that will cost us money better spent elsewhere [/quote] Exactly, not sure we could attract a better standard of player, it would probably require a fairly substantial transfer fee. Surely their wages would be no more costly than "buying" a player and then paying their wages as well. Doherty is our best centre back and will prove he''s a CCC player next season in a settled side, as will Russell in the position in front of the back four, rather than up front or as an attacking midfielder trying to create things. [/quote] Couldn''t agree more and I think you''ve highlighted the key point there. The last time Rusty was in the CCC, he was played either up front or in a more advanced midfield role. We have better players who can fill those roles now and I think he''s far more suited to the defensive/destructive position in front of the back four. For me, he is definitely CCC-class in that position. I''m confident Lambert will agree.
  9. Fantastic idea. Lambert has praised us fans on every possible occasion. It''s about time we repaid the favour and showed him how much he is respected at this club. Fast becoming a legend in my eyes. Collars up, face masks, Lambert chants.....could be amazing.
  10. I think Im right in saying that Russell''s contract expires at the end of the season? If so, will he sign a new deal - will he indeed even be offered a new deal? I think he has been one of our top performers this season and I think a lot of that is down to Lambert getting the right position for him - in that destructive, more defensive role. Lambert obviously rates him - as proved by him reinstating Rusty to the starting line-up as soon as he had completed his ban, despite the fact that the team had won 3 games in his absence. Im sure he will be offered a new deal and I cant see him getting a much better option from anywhere else; Burnley will be Championship again anyway by that point. Also, do you think he can cut it in the league above? I think he can, provided he sticks to his new role.
  11. Fantastic, thanks for that. Keep repeating that one over and over. Going up up up!!
  12. [quote user="First Wizard"][quote user="Arthur Whittle"]Jack Daniels is going down well on you tonight Wiz??? Feel sorry for Jack lol.[/quote]I knew it Arthur, as soon as I saw it, I ruddy well knew it![:D][/quote] HAHA. Quality stuff Wiz!!
  13. Cheers Jim, glad to hear Korey had another good outing, really think he could be a star of the future (already a star for us now really I guess). Elliott has given Lambo something to think about. Great stuff.
  14. Can''t stand the stuff personally. Holding my nice Magners cider aloft though. Cheers NCFC. OTBC.
  15. I think he should start against Swindon. However, Lambert likes to stick to his guns and he seems to be a fan of Chrissy (as indeed I am, I think he is a very intelligent footballer and a lot of our goals have involved him somewhere along the line). I think he might need a rest to come back for the crucial run-in fully charged and ready to hit peak form again.
  16. Would have been there to celebrate, but for a last minute change in work committments! Still, the result and the League 1 table are more than enough to make up for it! OTBC.
  17. Fantastic stuff. Just enjoying the moment =]
  18. Mum, grandad and uncle are all city fans on one side of the family. Brother, Dad and uncle on the other side of the family are Wolves fans........strange divide I know.
  19. Do you not remember what happened the last time Doherty and Nelson played alongside one another?! They are too similar, Doc and Askou are playing well and have struck up a reasonable understanding. I''d rather see one of the kids (Stephens, Dumic) given a go or see Wiggins there (I know he''s left-footed but then so is Jens!).
  20. Russell had a good game, we bossed it for large periods and deserved more in the end. Two poor errors have cost us. We need to cut those out if we''re to get anywhere in this league.
  21. Racist? Get a grip people for goodness sake people. Stop trying to make an issue out of nothing. I''m sick to death of this political correctness rubbish. He was asking a question and one way of recognising someone is, unsurprisingly, by the colour of their skin.
  22. Couldn''t see a thread for this so apologies to the forum police if one already exists. I''m going for 4-1 Leeds....not very positive I know but I just think we''re due another bad result soon and I think our confidence is probably a bit more brittle than we realise at the moment. I hope I''m wrong though!
  23. So the mystery is solved.... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/103189/Wes-strike-not-so-pad/
