An article saying we should sign someone, expect plenty of those.

[quote user="TIL 1010"]Any day now.............yeah ok whatever.[/quote]

What an exceptionally sad and irrelevant little man you are. Petty and spiteful on, often with the kind of comments my 6 year old would come out with!

Grow up and leave whatever issues you have with Pete at the door for the good of the forum

[quote user="SHRIMPER"]Still all over mine and its getting on my Fvcking nerves. Is there anyone in admin who knows what they are doing, cos SDP don''t.[/quote]

Pretty sure Pete isn''t a web developer and so wouldn''t be responsible for cookie consent. Not sure why people on here feel the need to have a go all the time.

I''m not getting them at all. Are you running Ghostery or any other blocker as a browser extension?

Also anyone viewing on an apple browser will have an issue due to inbuilt functionality.

There are widespread problems with these consent solutions attached to those two things.

[quote user="Move Klose"]Who cares[/quote]

Kind of agree on the basis that this is a footy forum but would like to add (just for completeness) that the local Walsh brothers also have title fights

[quote user="Six Pack"]Agree with Lynn - AN thinks he''s back in Scotland buying 2nd hand cars. Kicking the tyres and generally thinking he''s clever when he''s not.

Every manager has a weak point - nobody''s perfect now we know AN''s weak point - it''s negotiating for players ! Thinks he can go in with a trade in to get the price down ![/quote]

This sums up the idiocy that exists on this message board. Do you really think that after a day on the training ground AN is wheeling and dealing with other clubs Directors regarding the prices we are prepared to pay for their players?

How is the money being offered for these players or the price point at which NCFC starts its negotiations anything to do with AN?

[quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"]One of the oddest stats around this one.

There are only 7 teams to have conceded more goals than us yet our heavy possession stats mean we have had fewer shots against us than any other team. Suggests we are conceding more goals per shot on average than most teams.

Only 1 keeper (Boro) has saved fewer shots in total than Ruddy, and only 2 saved fewer as a % of shots faced.

Yet those teams/keepers with "worse" stats are Bournemouth & Middlesborough and a fourth of the worst 5 are ipswich - all in firm positions for promotion/play off contention (the exception are Brighton).

Make sense of that![/quote]

The only thing I can think of is that most of those goals may have come from set pieces where chances are a lot more clear cut. A clearer indication would be if we knew what % of shots came from open play as opposed to corners, free kicks etc.

My hunch would be that the better teams who control possession more allow the opposition less shots from open play and more from set pieces hence a worse shot/save ratio.

I am probably way off but hey.

No further action to be taken

Ahh thats a relief apologies for the waste of bandwidth, missed any reports of that

He appears to be missing from the Scotland line up tonight

Slightly relevant tot he conversation

Not sure how it would be policed i.e sponsorship of the penalty spot etc but interesting none the less

Interesting article on 2 or 3 counts really, first being the possibility that the formation of European leagues may seem closer than we realise. Secondly, I remember how this guy came across when we sign Whittaker and lastly his view of Aston villa [:)]

I was meant to say that he comes accross equally as arrogant now as he did when we made that signing!

I don''t begrudge Mr Holt wanting another year and nor do I mind him wanting a small pay rise, what I am disappointed in is the manner in which he/his agent has gone about it. Says a lot about the man to me when he slaps a transfer request in during the build up to a model pro''s testimonial and then follows it up with comments on Twitter today straight after Lambertgate. Could he have not asked for a 2 year contract on improved terms after next season once he proved he could do the business in the PL again? Maybe this is a simplistic view.
