  1. That's for next year, after they qualify through winning the FA Cup...........maybe I'm losing sight of where FIFA 24 ends and reality begins.
  2. I only suggested it as they would then be above us on goal difference alone.
  3. Dock them 20 points and then the club would be more careful who they sell tickets to.
  4. Our first signing should be Bob The Builder, to erect a block wall behind Gunn, as it's the only way we're going to stay up. Football is broken.
  5. From the BBC website: "Alistair Johnston fizzes in a great cross for Adam Idah to attack and the Celtic striker (sic) has his head in his hands after failing to get a touch." Sounds familiar.
  6. Their appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test playing "Delilah" is a joy to behold.
  7. According to some people on here, Wagner keeps putting out statues of Gibson and Duffy onto the pitch every week.
  8. This is hardly a new phenomenon. I well remember Allan Clarke doing this at CR in the first season we were ever promoted to the First Division. We had Leeds under the cosh, so he collapsed like he'd taken an assassin's bullet, allowing his team to re-organise. My goodness, we had them rattled that day.
  9. Well said Sean. It does mean we'll be watching your team like hawks from now on, though.
  10. Sounds ghastly and I hope he recovers soon and well. Shame it wasn't at a Roundabout, as it means we can't blame Norfolk Highways. I regard myself as a reasonable driver (OK I know, who doesn't) and I have a thing about lane discipline, but those NDR Roundabouts... there's just something wrong with them. Maybe they are just counter-intuitive.
  11. What I saw of Burnley last season did nothing to make me think they might stay up. They seemed to be very similar to how they were when relegated, and I'm not sure they've changed much since promotion. They've taken our mantle of being too good for the Championship and not good enough for the Prem.
  12. I can't decide whether CD is a better position for him, or whether it is just easier to see what he does. His runs forward with the ball and his passing have added to our attacking options. Too many times in the past I've got to the end of a game and wondered what Kenny had contributed.
  13. He pointed for SVH to pass to him, and was disappointed that he was overlooked.
  14. Just make it about the feet and no other part of the body. Sara's goal also took a deflection off someone's head, which probably made all the difference. Great result though.
  15. Well at least he won't get injured before we have the chance to sell him.....ah, I see the flaw in my thinking.
  16. Ah, but what have the Romans ever done for us? Sterling has been very successful, and been in very successful teams, but for me he has always been a bit disappointing. All too often he seems to dribble his way into a good position, only for his cross to hit the first defender and be wasted. Now I am not equating Huckerby with Sterling. but whenever Hucks got the ball I was excited to see what would happen, whereas when Sterling gets the ball I think "Oh well, that's that attack wasted." There was a time when Jesse Lingard looked like he was going to be a great player, but he seemed to lack the hunger. Maybe that's what having so much money when you are young does to you - it sates you.
  17. One of those players who never fulfilled their potential, or reached their peak and it was lower than expected. I think I'd put Raheem Sterling in that category too. I'm not sure what Grealish brings to a team either - he's quite good at falling over.
  18. There has been talk of changing some of the throw-ins to some kind of kick. In the modern game having a throw-in in your own half is often a disadvantage, because of the quality of marking and pressing these days,
  19. So, by my maths, the Sunderland signing started at Spurs when he was 5 years old. Did he have a contract back then?
  20. Ah, but it can't be used as "emergency toilet paper" as it has excrement on both sides already.
  21. I've just watched the second half again on BBC iPlayer - what a fantastic service, and a delicious way to spend 53 minutes.
  22. I saw them too, but maybe the 1972 show with Basil Brush and Mike Yarwood. I have a vague recollection of them being in a car with a speeded up back-projection of a road, but this same brain also thinks it saw Morcambe and Wise in Yarmouth in another Summer show...checks Google; ABC Theatre, summer 1967. Yarmouth's not got quite the same pull these days.
  23. Does anyone else remember a BBC Documentary about the Binners getting back into Division 1 and their first home game was against us (I think). Anyway they bigged the Binners up, and then at the end there was the switchboard lady answering the phone to some reporter and she just says "Town lost two, one." Bet her Granddaughter's doing the same tonight.
