  1. If you ever come back on here JUBWICKS, remember I told you so.
  2. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/africa/68076417
  3. No ripples on the river that I usually watch. And at £0 it's a bargain.
  4. The only GD that really matters is that you score at least one more goal than your opponents in every match
  5. I would have thought your immediate worry would be that you might not be good enough to beat Maidstone.
  6. Huddersfield sign....... Birmingham sign....... Millwall sign....... Ipswich in talks......... Birmingham have lots of plates spinning..... Southampton sign ........ West Brom sign........ Bristol City sign.......... Norwich fined.............. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship
  7. Strange question unless you are thinking that the whole island you're on wants to go. But I doubt that. How many tickets do you want?
  8. When was the last time we sold a star player for £xxxx millions that resulted in an improvement in performance, results and prospects. Well, I'll tell you. Never. Football is about what happens on the pitch, it's about excitment, good players and results. It is not about how much money we can get by flogging someone who shows a bit of ability at the drop of a hat as soon as another club shows a bit of interest. You can only put up with "Ah, but we need the money" for so long. Isn't that why we got the Yank onboard? It's happenend far too many times in the the past and we shouldn't tolerate it happening again.
  9. Why not just leave the subs at home and completely throw the towel in?
  10. Well we might win the FA Cup but it's the best chance we've got of winning anything this season. No point in leaving players out when we are going to finish in mid table. Has to be our best XI and we just need to go for it.
  11. The 1959 FA Cup Team thrived on Sherry & Raw Eggs before every game
  12. There is a current racehorse called Gavin and I always back it when it runs
  13. I didn't go in 52/53 but I started going in 56/57 and most of them were still there. Half of them played in our famous cup run.
  14. Exactly. We didn't start the fire, did we Billy.
  15. There was a time, back in our Giant Killing Days, that we, the Club, the Players and the Fans, did not fear anyone in the FA Cup. The thought of losing against anyone never really crossed our minds It was always exciting on a Monday lunchtime to listen to the draw for the next round on the wireless. Funny how some of our fans frequently label the players as gutless and then we see that they are just as gutless themselves. A difficult tie it could be if we beat BR but the FA Cup is always full of upsets so it can be done.
  16. Bruno Fernandes from Man U, guaranteed at least one penalty every game
  17. Big clubs were never a problem when the players used to a down a sherry with a raw egg in it it just before the kick-off. Maybe we should bring that back
  18. We sold the wrong full back. Should have got rid of Aarons and kept Lewis. Would have got more money for Aarons and Lewis would have been a far better player to keep.
  19. I hope Rovers get a home tie against Liverpool. They deserve it for at least trying to win on Saturday
  20. If I was MA I would be having serious doubts about progressing with my investment. We were a half decent Club when he first got involved but now we are falling apart at the seams. He will have seen what's going on so why would he want to continue with such a lame duck where he is simply going to throw good money after bad and with little or no chance of getting a return on his investment. He might not know much about football in the UK but I'm sure he is pretty adept at reading between the lines and knowing when to cut and run.
  21. I don't know why anyone is still talking about a serious promotion campaign, at least not for this season. In every respect, from Owner(s), Manager, Squad, Star Players, Financial Resources right through to our current Youth development, we are miles away from being either Promotion contenders and/or Premier League material. We have had plenty of goes in the PL in recent years, often in a better allround situation than we have now, and every time we've been up there we have been found wanting in virtually every aspect of being competitive. To their credit, and to put our efforts in perspective, when you consider some of the star players we had, Luton Town have given it a better go than we did. Before mounting a serious promotion campaign we have so many issues and deficiencies to sort out and that process will take longer than what remains of this season and probably next season too.
  22. Even though I watched it on a free stream, I felt somehow that I'd been mugged.
