Frying Pan Eyes 0 Posted August 10, 2008 A taxi driver i know picked up Omusumi this morning to take him to Sport Village. He was speaking to him and he said Roeder was fuming after yesterday so Roeder has took them all up to the Sport Village for extra training or something.

O.T.B.C 1 Posted August 10, 2008 Why would they train at the Sports village in few of others, when they can train in private at Colney? I imagine GR would not have been jumping for joy, but would be fairly happy with the performance, just the lack of thrust in the Cov half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then that would be so that he can hunt down Ameobi after sightings were made of him there and forensics were unable to prove that a picture circulated on this forum is fake.

O.T.B.C 1 Posted August 10, 2008 I don''t ever reckon that we will lose the Asda link. You can imagine in 2020 when we are talking on line, which translates to word, someone one will say that they have just seen young Huckerby was seen by the all in one meal tablets.

If anyone hasnt done it in 5 minutes they ALL have to go to the bottom and do it all over again.. and keep on doing it until they all make it within the time!that would sort the men from the boys!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted August 10, 2008 Thats what its all about Jim!Its ok playing "pretty football" and having a team of superstars but if they are blowing out of their backsides after 75 minutes they wont reach ther potential...Being fitter than the rest allows you to outlast them and give it that edge at the end of the game when it matters most...All footballers are fit.. no doubt about it.. but when they start flagging towards the end if your players are fitter and have more energy that can often make the difference between victory and defeat.. stepping up a gear to pressurise.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yelverton Yella 0 Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks for that Ricardo.Actually there were better players in there than I remembered. The only two who would have been slightly suspect were Jimmy Bone (who appeared to have no skill and would run straight through players but seemed to come out the other side with the ball!) and Black who I seem to remember as being a bit ungainly.On the other hand, Paddon (before his broken leg), Kenny Foggo and David Cross were pure class and not much would have got through that iron defence of Butler, Forbes and Stringer.Brings back the memories!Bertie Mee said to Bill ShanklyHave you heard of the North Bank Highbury?''No'' said Shanks,''I don''t think so,But I''ve heard of the Norwich Barclay!''Aye aye yi yiKeelan is better than Yashin,Foggo is better than EusebioAnd Ipswich are in for a thrashing!
