  1. "Last night I stayed up to watch Night of the Living Dead on

    ITV2, so I dreamt of a bunch of brain-dead zombies wandering aimlessly

    around a field." - funnyI actually dreamt two nights ago that we won with a Doc last minute header, 2-1. Barnsley lost 1-0.I also dreamt that I was able to turn my own self-worth into physical matter and ate it with chips and brown sauce, so I wouldn''t read too much into it.

  2. Anyone else notice the offside figures for the Toronto game? The Quakes were caught offsidefive times, three of them the man in the number six shirt. I love himbut you can''t teach and old dog new tricks can you?As far as the shirts go, surely there''s some good press for somebody there. Anybody tried the club''s PR or maybe a local paper? "Quakes send record shipment of shirts to UK" - might be worth them covering the  postage...

  3. I stand corrected. Well, maybe I don''t. Anyway, after last weekend I defended Gibbs on here, however he was poor today and the game did pass him by. He didn''t manage to make up for his lightweight influence on the game with the neat touches of the previous week.

    Although, as a subpoint, playing Fozzy and Gibbs was never going to be a good idea was it, Chris Lakey hit the nail when he said that the Gibbs/Pattison combo is an inexperienced Russell/Fozzy partnership. You have to play the battler with the passer - which is why we looked a bit better int he second half with Patti doing a bit of the leg work. That boy can ''alf tackle can''t he? Two crunchers towards the South Stand/River End corner.

    Disagree about Hucks. If he wasn''t playing Saturday we would have had no spark whatsoever - and that''s not an opinion, that''s just plain fact.


  4. It''s funny how folk take different things from games. I fee the EDP''s assessment of Gibbs was not misleading. Gibbs did everything that Pattison didn''t and to be fair, Pattison did everything Gibbs didn''t. True, Gibbs was not strong in the tackle and he wasn''t exactly putting the fear of God into the opposition like Pattison, but Gibbs very rarely gave the ball away and kept it simple, relieving a bit of pressure and allowing players to take stock of the situation instead of hitting hollywood balls into the corners like Pattison did on numerous occasions. He also put in a better challenge in the air than Pattison and when he did win aerial balls he generally found somebody.The pair compliment each other well and it seems that folk''s opinion on players lies in the kind of player they prefer - the Patti battler or the Gibbs type player who was willing to drop deep to collect the ball and then keep it simple. Either way, both players would have looked worse if the other weren''t playing with them on Saturday.

  5. Hucks: Not amazing, but I thought his sheer presence gave us something extra today. He''s such a good outlet and he relives the pressure. Cut inside nicely on three or four occasions and rarely gave the ball away.

    Gibbs: Agree with above, neat and tidy is the best description. Looks composed on the ball and never over complicated matters. Shooting - not his strong point.

    Pearce: Not a foot wrong. I''m a Shackell fan but he made Shacks look like a Sunday League player today. Great touch, distribution decent and very strong.

    Some folk gave the team a bit of stick on Canary Call today, but anyone who was at Leicester last week would be happy they just managed string three passes together. Just need to create more chances and reallyc ould have done with the second to allay any nerves for the last 15 minutes.


  6. I saw the Linnets at the Abbey this season in the FA Trophy. There were a few anti-Norwich songs from the away faithful, which I found funny, as being as there were half a dozen ex-Canaries in the squad. Including Fleming, who was commentating behind me and is a throroughly nice fella and very eager to talk football. Hope Lynn go up, even if just for him.
