The Saturday Boy

can''t find it anywhere online but Robert Green''s save against stoke (i think it was) at home in ''03/04 was the best Norwich related one I can rememberthis one is pretty good too...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEQRkzBZRoI&feature=related

Swindon - I''ve always liked Danny Wilson as a manager, much under - rated and harshly trated when given his ''chance'' in the prem with Sheff Wed

[quote user="Arthur Whittle"][quote user="First Jedi"]Capello asked Carragher to join the squad - Capello makes the decision on who to take. Not Carragher.[/quote] Thats not whats niggling me. The fact Capello asked him and Carragher has turned his back on England and then accepted it suggests hes making up for a shit season at Anfield. [/quote]Carragher turned his back on England cos he was constantly either picked as ''squad player'' or played out of postion at full back. I believe that he was frustrated with Ericcson and then Maclaren constantly picking Campbell, Ferdinand and Terry ahead of him despite him being constantly (from about 2003 - 2008 anyway) the best English centre half in the Prem. I say well done to Capello for persuading him back, for my money he is much better than Upson, Dawson or King. Apperently he tried to persuade Scoles to come back too. My only criticism of this squad is that I''d have picked Gary Neville too - Johnson just makes me nervous defensively.

God I feel old remembering that only the champions got to play in the champions league! to think we only qualified for the uefa cup cos arsenal won both cups too

[quote user="Arthur Whittle"]Can some of you younger posters either knuckle down with homework, play some sports outside or do something rebellious like getting a girlfriend instead of being glued to a PC at every given opportunity? And we wonder why we are a bunch of fat, useless Nancie''s these days!![/quote]Even if they can''t get a girlfriend, the internet must hold mor ''interesting'' things for teenage lads than this site?

whilst the obvious answer is NO - talent doesn''t dissappear overnight, or even over a period of years, he''s still a relitavley young man, and with the right management, fans, area etc could maybe once again become the player he was. A low wage contract, maybe on a pay as you play basis, may be worth a punt. but probably No

[quote user="Rupethebear"]You should have a good season, must be the first time there has never been a Yorkshire team in the top flight? Looking forward to going back the KC and putting one over them......never been to Donny Rovers new ground so will be off there too!![/quote]When Leeds went down in 2004 there were no Yorkshire teams until 2006 until Sheff Utd came up and then not a Yorkshire team until 2008 when Hull came up. So, quite recently actually!

[quote user="Heresyourfathersgun"]Hull has been in Humberside since about 1974[/quote]until 1996 when humberside ceased to excist. Grimsby/Cleethorpes and surrounding area are now North East Lincolnshire, Hull itself has unitary status, and is cerimonially in East Yorkshire, in fact, it has always been cerimonially in East Yorkshire. I am not a local council geek but a lot of my family are from grimsby and hated being lumped in with ''yorkies'' from Hull

try and get Lewis back - I''m sure we have first refusal on him if Peterborough want to sell (might be wrong about this though)

I hate this attitude that some of our fans have - everyone who leaves us is instantly a villain. Bell wasn''t getting that regular football for us and when played often played out of position. at the time we were told that the money was used to get in Gunny''s re - enforcements in January last year - they worked out well didn''t they. And I don''t think you can blame Clingan - arguably our only consistant performer last season for jumping ship in the summer - looking back, who actually really thought we would go straight back up with gunny in charge - I don''t blame him for wanting to stay in the championship.

[quote user="The Saturday Boy"]If anyone else has a spare ticket for this game let me know. I called to get him one ony my break at 11.15 and they had already sold out. he would be willing to pay full price if one is avaliable[/quote]I called to get my mate one that should have said!!

[quote user="Lord Horn"]As an aside, was talking to an Orient fan before the game who, although he didn''t much like Barry Hearn, was impressed by the fact that he got £7.5m for the four corners of the ground for the flats.  Bet we never make that much on the lego hotel! [/quote] yeah but our ground isn''t in london you numpty!

You''ll have to get there and get on the train as soon as the doors open anyway, as someone will probably sit in your seat anyway. People will normally move when asked but I have found that if it''s a bunch of ''lads'' sitting together they''ll probably refuse and the conductor won''t challenge them either. enjoy the match though, lets hope for 3 points. OTBC

[quote user="Mr_Chimp"]It was a nice segment on a dedicated, extremely rich (and extremely hot) City fan. Cannot believe they spend 10 mins on it to show literally 5 seconds of match ''highlights.'' [/quote] I wouldn''t call her ''extremely hot'' but deffo worth a squirt. althougha grown woman with that many soft toys is clearly a bit mental

I have enjoyed this season, but I will not just accept the fact that we are playing at this level in the first place. Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones made serious mistakes in their appointments before McNally (for it is he, not them who recruited Lambert). They have never, to this day appeared (to me anyway) to have shown any remorse. Delia, after being the ''public face'' of the club when it was going well, totally went missing. she is suddenly starting to appear again. I will celebrate promotion as a great achievement by the coaching staff and players, but I will not forgive or forget who put us in this legue in the first place. I don''t want Delia to leave at any cost, the right person (should he/she even exist) must be found tto take over the reigns, and I applaud the fact that she and MWJ have taken a back seat and are no not effectively in a decision making capacity - all changes for the best so well done, and I am optimistic for the future if we can keep hold of McNally/Lambert. But one season of achievement in a division we should never have been in will not wipe away the memories of the last 6 years, and I''m sorry if that makes me a doom mongerer!

That would be a plan except I''m flying up on Thursday night! My bro in law will know decent pubs, just would be nice to watch it with a fellow yellow if there are any up there!!

Bit of a long shot but I''m visiting my sister in Edinburgh next weekend and was wondering if any city fanns up there would be watching the game in a pub somewhere?

To be honest i found the open top bus tour when we won the championship over the top and a bit embarrassing. Perhaps its because when I first started going to Carra Rud we were regularly challenging towards the top half of the old 1st division and beating the ''big clubs''. whilst enjoying this season, and the play-off championship winning seasons, I personally think that civic receptions and open-top bus tours should only be for when we win a major trophy, and if that is only once every 50 years or so, than that is what will make it special!

''dome reson'' - neither is my spelling - ''for some reason''

for dome reson quotes not working, but in response to Arthur: My sister lives in Edinburgh, so I always go up for the festival every August so I have seen quite a lot of comedians before they make it on TV. McIntyre has always been crap, but I did used to like Stephen K.Amos, you should try and check out some of his stand up from 3-4 years ago, bit edgier and more controversial than what he does now. Since finding fame, amos has become a bit of a media whore appearing on any telly show going (including doing a documentary on the size of penises ffs!) and whenever doing stand up on TV, either plays it safe or does too many jokes about his african family and seems to have become a one trick pony. Still, bet he''s loaded now anyway! P.S. i do like gavin and stacey, but generally find Corden''s ''I''m fat - thats funny'' routine tiresome, but  I did enjoy the sports relief sketch last night.

I would rather see city do well than England, but I''ll still be cheering them on come the world cup!
